Renesas Debuts a Series of 700V Non-Isolated Buck Converters

The RAA2230XX series of three buck regulators all feature an internal 700 volt MOSFET. They can provide outputs as low as 3.3 volts, eliminating the need for a second-stage LDO. Idling current is less than 10mW. Additionally, these devices can also support secondary-side-feedback isolated flyback topology.

When operating close to their rated power, the units operate under constant off-time control, which serves to keep the switching speed above the range of human hearing. During light loads, converters employ the pulse frequency modulation (PFM) mode for better efficiency. The three buck regulators employ frequency dithering to reduce EMI.

 

The Three Converters

• The 2.5 Watt RAA223012
• The 5 watt RAA223011
• The 8 watt RAA223021

The table below shows the maximum current outputs available at various line input voltages when each of the three units are adjusted for 3.3, 5, 12, or 24 volts. 

 

The RAA223011 and the RAA223012

The RAA223011 and the RAA223012 offer 5 and 2.5-watt outputs, respectively. Both units feature quiescent currents of less than 100μA, and standby power less than 10mW. These devices both feature typical RDS(ON)s of 14.5Ω.

 

Timing for the RAA223011 (typical values)

• Minimum Off-Time: 32μs
• Maximum On-Time: 17μs
• Minimum Off-Time in Short-Circuit: 200μs
• Hiccup Restart Delay: 100ms

 

Timing for the RAA223012 (typical values)
