RP504x Series
600m A∗ PWM/VFM Step-down DC/DC Converter with Synchronous Rectifier
The RP504x Series are low supply current CMOS-based PWM/VFM step-down DC/DC converters with synchronous rectifier. RP504K/L can be switched from two control types by inputting signal to the MODE pin - forced PWM control or PWM/VFM auto switching control in which mode automatically switches to high-efficiency VFM mode in low output current. (RP504N Series can be selected from forced PWM control or PWM/VFM auto switching control.) RP504x includes a soft start circuit, an under-voltage lockout circuit (UVLO), and a latch protection circuit. By simply using an inductor and capacitors as external components, a high-efficiency step-down DC/DC converter can be easily configured. The small inductor (2.2μH) and output capacitor (4.7μH) can be used by the switching of 2.25MHz. In addition to SOT-23-5 and DFN1616-6B packages, a 1.2mm × 1.6mm DFN(PLP)1216-6B package is also available.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I switch between PWM and VFM control modes?
For the RP504K/L series, you can switch modes by applying a signal to the MODE pin for forced PWM (MODE="L") or automatic switching (MODE="H").
What is the recommended external setup for the DC/DC converter?
A high-efficiency converter can be configured using only an inductor and capacitors as external components, such as a 2.2μH inductor and a 4.7μF capacitor.
What protection features does the RP504x series include?
It includes soft start, under-voltage lockout (UVLO), and a latch protection circuit for reliable operation.
