RT8509
3A, 14V Step-Up DC-DC Converter
General Description
The RT8509 is a high performance switching boost
converter that provides a regulated supply voltage for active
matrix thin film transistor (TFT) liquid crystal displays
(LCDs).
The RT8509 incorporates current mode, fixed-frequency,
pulse width modulation (PWM) circuitry with a built in
N-MOSFET to achieve high efficiency and fast transient
response.
The RT8509 has a wide input voltage range from 2.8V to
14V. In addition, the output voltage can be adjusted up to
24V via an external resistive voltage divider. The maximum
peak current is limited to 3.5A (typ.). Other features include
programmable soft-start, over voltage protection, and over
temperature protection.
The RT8509 is available in a WDFN-10L 3x3 package.

Pin Function
Compensation pin for error amplifier. Connect a series RC from COMP to ground.
Feedback. The FB regulation voltage is 1.25V nominal. Connect an external
resistive voltage divider between the step-up regulator’s output (V
OUT
) and GND,
with the center tap connected to FB. Place the divider close to the IC and minimize
the trace area to reduce noise coupling.
Chip enable. Drive EN low to turn off the Boost.
Ground. The Exposed Pad must be soldered to a large PCB and connected to
GND for maximum power dissipation.
Switch. LX is the drain of the internal MOSFET. Connect the inductor/rectifier diode
junction to LX and minimize the trace area for lower EMI.
Boost converter over voltage protection input. Bypass VSUP with a minimum 1F
ceramic capacitor directly to GND.
Supply input. Bypass VIN with a minimum 1μF ceramic capacitor directly to GND.
Soft-start control. Connect a soft-start capacitor (C
SS
) to this pin. The soft-start
capacitor is charged with a constant current of 5A. The soft-start capacitor is
discharged to ground when EN is low.

Note 1.
Stresses beyond those listed
“Absolute
Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are
stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in
the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions may
affect device reliability.
Note 2.
θ
JA
is measured under natural convection (still air) at T
A
= 25°C with the component mounted on a high effective-
thermal-conductivity four-layer test board on a JEDEC 51-7 thermal measurement standard.
θ
JC
is measured at the
exposed pad of the package.
