Functional Pin Description
Pin No.
Pin Name
Pin Function
1
BOOT
Bootstrap for High Side Gate Driver. Connect a 0.1μF or greater ceramic
capacitor from BOOT to SW pins.
2
VIN
Input Supply Voltage, 4.5V to 18V. Must bypass with a suitable large ceramic
capacitor.
3
SW
Switch Node. Connect this pin to an external L-C filter.
4,
9 (Exposed Pad)
GND
Ground. The exposed pad must be soldered to a large PCB and connected to
GND for maximum power dissipation.
5
FB
Feedback Input. It is used to regulate the output of the converter to a set value
via an external resistive voltage divider.
Compensation Node. COMP is used to compensate the regulation control
6
COMP
loop. Connect a series RC network from COMP to GND. In some cases, an
additional capacitor from COMP to GND is required.
Enable Input. A logic high enables the converter; a logic low forces the
7
EN
RT7257D into shutdown mode reducing the supply current to less than 3μA.
Attach this pin to VIN with a 100kΩ pull up resistor for automatic startup.
Soft-Start Control Input. SS controls the soft-start period. Connect a capacitor
8
SS
from SS to GND to set the soft-start period. A 0.1μF capacitor sets the
soft-start period to 13.5ms.
