RT7258
8A, 24V, 600kHz Step-Down Converter with Synchronous
Gate Driver
General Description
The RT7258 is a synchronous step-down DC/DC converter
with an integrated high side internal power MOSFET and
a gate driver for a low side external power MOSFET. It
can deliver up to
8A
output current from a 4.5V to 24V
input supply. The RT7258's current mode architecture
allows the transient response to be optimized over a wider
input voltage and load range. Cycle-by-cycle current limit
provides protection against shorted outputs and soft-start
eliminates input current surge during start-up. The RT7258
is synchronizable to an external clock with frequency
ranging from 300kHz to 1.5MHz.
The RT7258 is available in WDFN-14L 4x3 and SOP-8
(Exposed Pad) packages.

Pin Name
Pin Function
Feedback Input. This pin is connected to the converter output. It
is used to set the output of the converter to regulate to the
desired value via an external resistive divider. The feedback
reference voltage is 0.808V typically.
Power Good Indicator with Open Drain. (for RT7258GQW only)
A 100k pull-high resistor is needed. The output of this pin is
pulled to low when the FB is lower than 0.75V; otherwise it is
high impedance.
Enable or External Frequency Synchronization Input. A
logic-high (2V < EN < 5.5V) enables the converter; a logic-low
forces the IC into shutdown mode reducing the supply current to
less than 3A. For external frequency synchronization operation,
the available frequency range is from 300kHz to 1.5MHz.
Power Input. The available input voltage range is from 4.5V to
24V. A 22F or larger input capacitor is needed to reduce
voltage spikes at the input.
No Internal Connection.
Switching Node. Output of the internal high side MOSFET.
Connect this pin to external low side N-MOSFET, inductor and
bootstrap capacitor.
Bootstrap for High side Gate Driver. Connect a 1F ceramic
capacitor between the BOOT pin and SW pin.
BG Driver Bias Supply. Decouple with a 1F X5R/X7R ceramic
capacitor between the VCC pin and GND.
Gate Driver Output. Connect this pin to the gate of the external
low side N-MOSFET.
Ground. The exposed pad must be soldered to a large PCB and
connected to GND for maximum thermal dissipation.

Operation
The RT7258 is a synchronous high voltage Buck Converter
that can support the input voltage range from 4.5V to 24V
and the output current can be up to 8A. The RT7258 uses
a constant frequency, current mode architecture. In normal
operation, the high side N-MOSFET is turned on when
the Switch Controller is set by the oscillator (OSC) and is
turned off when the current comparator resets the Switch
Controller. While the N-MOSFET is turned off, the external
low side N-MOSFET is turned on by BG Driver with 5V
driving voltage from Internal Regulator (V
CC
) until next
cycle begins.
High side MOSFET peak current is measured by internal
R
SENSE
. The Current Signal is where Slope Compensator
works together with sensing voltage of R
SENSE
. The error
amplifier EA adjusts COMP voltage by comparing the
feedback signal (V
FB
) from the output voltage with the
internal 0.808V reference. When the load current
increases, it causes a drop in the feedback voltage relative
to the reference, the COMP voltage then rises to allow
higher inductor current to match the load current.
UV Comparator : If the feedback voltage (V
FB
) is lower
than threshold voltage 0.4V, the UV Comparator's output
will go high and the Switch Controller will turn off the high

side MOSFET. The output under voltage protection is
designed to operate in Hiccup mode.
Oscillator (OSC) : The internal oscillator runs at nominal
frequency 600kHz and can be synchronized by an external
clock in the range between 300kHz and 1.5MHz from EN/
SYNC pin.
PGOOD Comparator : This function is available for
RT7258GQW only. When the feedback voltage (V
FB
) is
higher than threshold voltage 0.75V, the PGOOD open
drain output will be high impedance.
Enable Comparator : Internal 5kΩ resistor and Zener diode
are used to clamp the input signal to 3V. A 1.7V reference
voltage is for EN logic-high threshold voltage. The EN pin
can be connected to VIN through a 100kΩ resistor for
automatic startup.
Foldback Control : When V
FB
is lower than 0.7V, the
oscillation frequency will be proportional to the feedback
voltage.
Soft-Start (SS) : An internal current source charges an
internal capacitor to build the soft-start ramp voltage (V
SS
).
The V
FB
voltage will track the internal ramp voltage during
soft-start interval. The typical soft-start time is 2ms.
