Product details
Overview
RAA230141GSB#HA0 from Renesas Electronics is a 1-channel synchronous step-down DC/DC converter with integrated battery backup circuit, designed for lithium primary cell–based backup systems. It operates from 7V to 28V input, delivers fixed 3.3V output at up to 3A, features 1.1MHz fixed-frequency switching, Auto PFM mode for light-load efficiency, and built-in discharge and protection circuits. It is used in smart meters and security devices requiring seamless power switchover during main supply loss.
For engineers reviewing the RAA230141GSB#HA0 datasheet, RAA230141GSB#HA0 pinout, RAA230141GSB#HA0 application, or RAA230141GSB#HA0 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed battery backup behavior, real-world thermal shutdown thresholds (165°C), and design-meaningful specifications - all extracted from Renesas' official R18DS0019EJ0100 datasheet.
Technical Context
The RAA230141GSB#HA0 integrates high-side and low-side MOSFETs (220 mΩ and 170 mΩ typical RDS(on)) with internal phase compensation, enabling stable regulation without external loop components. Its Auto PFM mode dynamically switches between pulse-frequency modulation (light load) and pulse-width modulation (heavy load), achieving >90% efficiency at 100mA–1A across 12V/24V inputs.
Battery backup operation is controlled by internal analog switches: when main DC/DC is active, VBB_OUT follows VOUT; when disabled and VBB_IN > VOUT, VBB_OUT supplies backup power via 400 Ω (typ.) VBB_IN→VBB_OUT path. The device includes latch-type short-circuit protection, auto-recovery thermal shutdown (165°C detect, 20°C hysteresis), and UVLO with 3.9V turn-on/3.7V turn-off thresholds.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 7V to 28V - supports wide industrial input rails including 12V/24V systems and battery-backed 28V telecom supplies. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V - eliminates external feedback resistors; optimized for MCU, sensor, and communication IC logic rails. |
| Max Output Current | 3A - sufficient to power entire subsystems (e.g., microcontroller + RF transceiver + memory) without external current boosting. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.1MHz (fixed) - enables use of compact 3.3–4.7µH inductors and reduces output capacitor size vs. lower-frequency converters. |
| Shutdown Current | 1 µA (typ.) - preserves battery life in always-on backup applications such as emergency lighting controllers. |
| Battery Backup Path | VBB_IN to VBB_OUT RON = 400 Ω (typ.) - supports ~7.5mA max backup current at 3V with <300mV drop; requires ≥0.47nF VBB_OUT capacitor. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 165°C detect temperature (typ.), 20°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload in enclosed industrial enclosures without derating fan cooling. |
Pinout & Package
RAA230141GSB#HA0 uses a 16-pin HTSSOP package with exposed thermal pad (JEDEC MO-153 compatible). Pin layout supports high-current LX routing and dedicated ground pins (Pins 8, 9, 10, 11, 15, 16) to minimize ground bounce in noisy industrial environments.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VOUT) | Feedback node | Connects to output capacitor; senses regulated 3.3V for internal error amplifier - no external resistor required for fixed-output version. |
| 2 (FB) | Feedback input | Internally tied to VOUT for fixed 3.3V operation; must be left open per datasheet - not used in RAA230141 variant. |
| 3 (VBB_IN) | Battery input | Accepts 2.7–3.7V lithium primary cell; internal switch connects to VBB_OUT only when main DC/DC is off and VBB_IN > VOUT. |
| 4 (VBB_OUT) | Battery backup output | Provides backup power during main supply failure; requires ≥0.47nF capacitor to stabilize voltage during switchover transients. |
| 5 (EN) | Enable control | Active-high logic: EN = H → operation; EN = L → shutdown (1 µA IDD(SHDN)); no internal pull-down - must be externally biased. |
| 6 (x_AutoPFM) | Mode selection | Low = Auto PFM (PFM/PWM auto-switch); High = forced PWM - enables predictable EMI profile in noise-sensitive applications. |
| 7 (VREG) | Internal LDO output | 5.0V (typ.) supply for internal circuitry; requires 1µF ceramic capacitor to GND for stability and transient response. |
| 12 (LX) | Switch node | Connects to inductor; carries high di/dt switching current - requires short, wide PCB trace and tight coupling to GND plane. |
| 13 (Boost) | Bootstrap input | Connects 0.1µF ceramic capacitor to LX; sustains gate drive for high-side MOSFET during 100% duty cycle conditions. |
| 14 (VIN) | Main power input | Accepts 7–28V; requires ≥10µF input capacitor placed adjacent to pin to suppress high-frequency ripple and EMI. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated battery backup circuit | Eliminates external diodes and control logic; enables automatic switchover from main supply to lithium primary cell with <1ms latency. |
| Synchronous rectification | Reduces conduction losses by replacing external Schottky diode with 170 mΩ low-side MOSFET - improves full-load efficiency by ~8% vs. asynchronous designs. |
| Auto PFM / PWM mode switching | Maintains >85% efficiency from 1mA to 3A load range - critical for battery-backed systems with variable sleep/active cycles. |
| Integrated discharge circuit | Activates on EN deassertion to rapidly drain output capacitance through VOUT pin (RON,DC = 100–200 Ω), preventing residual voltage from interfering with system reset sequencing. |
| Latch-type short-circuit protection | Halts switching immediately upon FB voltage drop below 0.35V (typ.), preventing thermal runaway during output faults - reset requires EN toggle or VIN cycle. |

FAQ
What is the battery backup voltage range supported by RAA230141GSB#HA0?
The RAA230141GSB#HA0 supports a VBB_IN input range of 2.7V to 3.7V, optimized for standard lithium primary cells. Its internal battery backup circuit maintains VBB_OUT regulation within this window, with typical on-resistance of 400 Ω between VBB_IN and VBB_OUT. The device ensures stable switchover when main VOUT drops below VBB_IN, and requires a minimum 0.47nF capacitor on VBB_OUT for transient stability. This behavior is explicitly confirmed in the R18DS0019EJ0100 datasheet Section 15.
Does RAA230141GSB#HA0 require external feedback resistors to set its 3.3V output?
No, RAA230141GSB#HA0 delivers a factory-trimmed fixed 3.3V output and does not require external feedback resistors. Pin 2 (FB) is internally connected to VOUT and must be left open per the datasheet (Section 5, Pin Function table and Section 22, Components Example). This eliminates resistor tolerance errors and simplifies layout - a key differentiator from adjustable variants like RAA230143. The 3.3V accuracy is guaranteed by internal reference trimming (±2.5% including resistor accuracy, per Section 8 Electrical Characteristics).
How does the discharge circuit in RAA230141GSB#HA0 operate during shutdown?
When the EN pin transitions from high to low, the RAA230141GSB#HA0 activates an internal discharge switch connected to the VOUT pin, sinking current through a 100–200 Ω on-resistance path to rapidly deplete output capacitance. This occurs even if EN is tied to VIN, because the VREG supply (which powers the discharge control) remains active >100ms after VIN collapse (Section 14, Discharge Circuit). The feature prevents residual voltage from holding downstream logic in undefined states - critical for deterministic system reset in smart meters and security controllers.
What is the thermal shutdown behavior of RAA230141GSB#HA0, and how does it recover?
The RAA230141GSB#HA0 features an auto-recovery thermal shutdown circuit that triggers at 165°C (typ.) junction temperature and includes 20°C hysteresis (Section 8, Electrical Characteristics and Section 17, Protection Circuit View). When activated, both high-side and low-side power MOSFETs turn off, halting switching while internal circuits (VREG, logic) remain powered. Recovery occurs automatically once die temperature falls below 145°C (165°C – 20°C), restoring regulation without requiring an EN or VIN cycle - ensuring robust operation in thermally constrained enclosures.
Can RAA230141GSB#HA0 operate with input voltages below 7V?
No, RAA230141GSB#HA0 has a strict 7V minimum input voltage specified in both Absolute Maximum Ratings (Section 6) and Recommended Operating Conditions (Section 7). Operation below 7V violates the UVLO recovery threshold (3.9V start, 3.7V stop) and risks unstable regulation or failure to initiate soft-start. The device is engineered for 12V/24V industrial rails and lithium-primary-backed 28V systems - not low-voltage battery sources. Attempting sub-7V operation may cause latch-up or undefined behavior per datasheet caution notes.
