The RT9907 is a three channel power-supply solution for
digital still cameras and other battery-powered devices. It
integrates an asynchronous step-up and two synchronous
step-down DC-DC converters. The RT9907 is targeted for
applications that use two AA cells or a single lithium-ion
battery.
The three DC-DC converters (CH1, CH2, CH3) accept input
voltage from 1.5V to 5.5V. Each DC-DC converter has
better transient response and excellent stability by
providing current-mode control and external compensation
network. With built-in Internal MOSFET and up to 1.4MHz
operating frequency, the RT9907 allows minimum BOM
cost and PCB area.
The step-down DC-DC converters (CH2, CH3) can regulate
output voltage as low as 0.8V. Three operational modes
are available: PWM, PSM, Low-Dropout modes. At PWM
mode, Internal synchronous rectifier with low RDS(ON)
dramatically reduces conduction loss and achieve 94%
efficiency. It enters Low-Dropout mode when normal PWM
cannot provide regulated output voltage by continuously
turning on the upper P-MOSFET. No external Schottky
diode is required in practical application.
Each DC-DC converter has independent enable input and
soft-start function allowing versatile power sequence
combination. Complete protection functions are
implemented such as short circuit, over-voltage protection.
The RT9907 is available in small VQFN-24L 4x4 package.
