RP509x Series
0.5A/1A PWM/VFM Step-down DC/DC Converter with Synchronous Rectifier
No. EA-362-220819
OUTLINE
The RP509x is a low supply current PWM/VFM step-down DC/DC converter with synchronous rectifier featuring 0.5 A/1 A output current(1). Internally, a single converter consists of a reference voltage unit, an error amplifier, a switching control circuit, a mode control circuit, a soft-start circuit, an undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuit, a thermal shutdown circuit, and switching transistors. The RP509x is employing synchronous rectification for improving the efficiency of rectification by replacing diodes with built-in switching transistors. Using synchronous rectification not only increases circuit performance but also allows a design to reduce parts count.
