Preliminary
RT9201
High Efficiency PWM Step-Down DC-DC Converter
General Description
The RT9201 is a high-efficiency pulse-width-modulated (PWM) step-down DC-DC converter. Capable of delivering 600mA output current over a wide input voltage range from 2.5 to 5.5V, the RT9201 is ideally suited for portable electronic devices that are powered from 1-cell Li-ion battery or from other power sources within the range such as cellular phones, PDAs and handy-terminals. Four operational modes are available: PWM, PSM, LowDropout and shut-down modes. Internal synchronous rectifier with low RDS(ON) dramatically reduces conduction loss at PWM mode. No external Schottky diode is required in practical application.
