RT8259
1.2A, 24V, 1.4MHz Step-Down Converter
General Description
The RT8259 is a high voltage buck converter that can support
the input voltage range from 4.5V to 24V and the output
current can be up to 1.2A. Current Mode operation provides
fast transient response and eases loop stabilization.
The chip also provides protection functions such as cycle-
by-cycle current limiting and thermal shutdown protection.
The RT8259 is available in a SOT-23-6 and TSOT-23-6
packages.

Pin Function
Bootstrap. A capacitor is connected between PHASE and BOOT pins to form a floating
supply across the power switch driver. This capacitor is needed to drive the power switch‘s
gate above the supply voltage.
Ground. This pin is the voltage reference for the regulated output voltage. For this reason,
care must be taken in its layout. This node should be placed outside of the D1 to C1 ground
path to prevent switching current spikes from inducing voltage noise into the part.
Feedback. An external resistor divider from the output to GND tapped to the FB pin sets the
output voltage. The value of the divider resistors also set loop bandwidth.
Chip Enable (Active High). If the EN pin is open, it will be pulled to high by internal circuit.
Supply Voltage. Bypass VIN to GND with a suitable large capacitor to prevent large voltage
spikes from appearing at the input.
Switch Output.
