RT9226
March, 2000
PWM Step-down DC/DC Converter Controller
General Description
Features
The RT9226 is a low cost, high-efficiency voltage-mode PWM controller for motherboard power supply application. High-side N-channel MOSFET driver, short-circuit protection, and soft start function are integrated in a single chip. A simple high power buck regulator with shutdown function can be implemented with minimum external components.
The RT9226 provides current-limit protection by monitoring the voltage drop across N-channel MOSFET in over current condition, therefore, eliminates the current sensing resistor and minimizes the efficiency loss. The soft start function reduces the stress on power supply and components in power on duration.
