Product details
Overview
RAA211820GSP#HA0 from Renesas Electronics is a 4.5V–75V input, 2A synchronous step-down DC/DC regulator in a 20-lead QFN (4mm × 3.5mm) package with internal compensation, programmable 200–800kHz switching frequency, and integrated 155mΩ/80mΩ MOSFETs. It delivers ±1% load regulation accuracy across –40°C to 125°C and supports industrial power systems requiring high-voltage input and stable point-of-load conversion.
For engineers reviewing the RAA211820GSP#HA0 datasheet, RAA211820GSP#HA0 pinout, RAA211820GSP#HA0 application, or RAA211820GSP#HA0 equivalent, this page provides verified pin functions, real-world thermal derating curves, confirmed soft-start timing (500µs fixed), EBIAS biasing behavior, and validated alternative parts for high-input-voltage buck converter designs.
Technical Context
The RAA211820GSP#HA0 implements peak-current mode control with internal slope compensation and an integrated transconductance error amplifier referenced to 0.8V. Its COMP signal compares sensed high-side current against a dynamically adjusted threshold to regulate output voltage under varying line and load conditions.
It operates in fixed-frequency CCM above half-inductor ripple current and transitions to variable-frequency DCM at light loads using pulse-skipping. Protection includes cycle-by-cycle peak/valley current limiting (3.3A/2.4A), input UVLO (4.25V rising), output undervoltage hiccup (50% VREF), and thermal shutdown (150°C) with 20°C hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5V to 75V - supports wide industrial and telecom input rails without external pre-regulation |
| Output Current | Up to 2A continuous - sufficient for FPGA core supplies, PoL converters, and base station subsystems |
| Switching Frequency | Programmable 200–800kHz - enables optimization of size vs. efficiency; default 400kHz balances transient response and EMI |
| Feedback Reference | 0.8V ±0.004V (25°C), ±0.008V (–40°C to 125°C) - ensures tight output regulation across temperature |
| Quiescent Current | 95µA typical - minimizes standby power loss in always-on industrial systems |
| MOSFET rDS(ON) | 155mΩ (HS) / 80mΩ (LS) - reduces conduction losses at full load, enabling >90% efficiency at 24VIN→3.3VOUT |
| Soft-Start Time | Fixed 0.5ms (QFN only) - prevents inrush current during power-up without external capacitor |
Pinout & Package
RAA211820GSP#HA0 is housed in a thermally enhanced 20-lead QFN package (4mm × 3.5mm, 0.5mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad connected to AGND. The package supports high-power density layouts with low θJA of 48.3°C/W (JEDEC board) and 27.3°C/W (evaluation board).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1,13–19 (PGND) | Power Ground | Source connection for low-side FET; must be tied directly to input bypass capacitors and PCB ground plane |
| 2,12 (SW) | Switch Node | Phase node connecting integrated HS/LS FETs; routes to inductor and bootstrap capacitor (BST–SW) |
| 3,20 (VIN) | Main Input Supply | Drain of high-side FET and input to internal LDO; requires local ceramic decoupling to PGND |
| 4 (BST) | Bootstrap Supply | Provides gate drive voltage for high-side FET via external 0.1µF X7R capacitor to SW |
| 5 (EBIAS) | External Bias Input | Accepts 3.3–40V external rail (e.g., VOUT) to reduce power dissipation; auto-switches when >3.1V |
| 6 (FB) | Feedback Input | Inverting input of error amplifier; sets output voltage via resistor divider (VOUT = 0.8V × (1 + RFB1/RFB2)) |
| 7 (AGND) | Analog Ground | Reference for feedback, oscillator, and protection circuits; must connect to clean PCB ground plane |
| 8 (PG) | Power-Good Output | Open-drain indicator asserted when FB reaches 1.2V and stays within ±12% of 0.8V reference |
| 9 (FS) | Frequency Set | Connect to VCC for 400kHz default; tie to AGND via resistor (261kΩ) for exact 400kHz or adjust for 200–800kHz |
| 10 (VCC) | Bias Regulator Output | 3.3V ±0.2V supply for internal logic and gate drivers; decouple with ≥1µF ceramic to AGND |
| 11 (EN) | Enable Input | High-voltage tolerant (76V max); active-high with 1.3V threshold; pull to GND via 1MΩ for controlled shutdown |
| PAD (Thermal) | Thermal Interface | Exposed bottom pad; must be soldered to AGND with ≥3 thermal vias for reliable 2A operation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM5164QPWPRQ1 | 4.5–65V input, 1A output, 100–1000kHz programmable frequency, no internal compensation - requires external RC network | Automotive AEC-Q100 qualified; lacks EBIAS input and integrated soft-start - needs external timing capacitor | Choose for automotive environments requiring qualification; avoid if board space or BOM count is critical |
| MPQ4420AGL-A | 3.3–60V input, 2A output, fixed 400kHz, internal compensation, but no EBIAS or programmable frequency - only QFN-10 package | No light-load PFM/DEM; lower 60V VIN max limits use in 72V industrial systems; smaller package reduces thermal margin at 2A | Consider for cost-sensitive 24–48V applications where EBIAS and extended frequency tuning are unnecessary |
Compared with LM5164QPWPRQ1 and MPQ4420AGL-A, RAA211820GSP#HA0 uniquely combines 75V input capability, EBIAS biasing, and fixed 0.5ms soft-start in QFN - enabling higher-voltage industrial designs with lower component count and improved light-load efficiency.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for RAA211820GSP#HA0?
The RAA211820GSP#HA0 has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 76V, with recommended operating range from 4.5V to 75V. This allows direct use with 48V, 60V, and 72V industrial and telecom power buses while accommodating transient surges up to 76V without damage.
Does RAA211820GSP#HA0 require external compensation components?
No, RAA211820GSP#HA0 features fully internal loop compensation. The error amplifier includes built-in compensation circuitry that stabilizes the control loop across its full 200–800kHz switching frequency range and load conditions - eliminating external resistors and capacitors from the feedback path.
How does the EBIAS pin function on RAA211820GSP#HA0?
The EBIAS pin on RAA211820GSP#HA0 accepts an external 3.3–40V bias source (e.g., VOUT). When EBIAS exceeds 3.1V, the device automatically switches from VIN-derived VCC to the EBIAS rail, reducing power dissipation and improving efficiency - especially beneficial in high-VIN, low-VOUT applications.
What is the soft-start behavior of RAA211820GSP#HA0?
RAA211820GSP#HA0 implements a fixed 0.5ms internal soft-start in its QFN package (GSP#HA0). During startup, the SS voltage ramps from 0V to 0.8V, controlling the error amplifier reference; PG asserts only after SS reaches 1.2V and FB is within regulation - preventing output overshoot without external components.
Can RAA211820GSP#HA0 operate safely under short-circuit conditions?
Yes, RAA211820GSP#HA0 provides dual overcurrent protection: cycle-by-cycle peak current limit (3.3A) and valley current limit (2.4A), plus output undervoltage hiccup mode. Under sustained short, it enters 23ms hiccup cycles - disabling switching until fault clears - protecting both IC and external components.
