Product details
Overview
RAA230142GSB#HA0 from Renesas Electronics is a single-channel synchronous step-down DC/DC converter with integrated battery backup circuitry, designed for lithium primary cell–based backup systems. It operates from 7V to 28V input, delivers a fixed 5.0V output at up to 3A, and features Auto PFM mode for high light-load efficiency-enabling low-power operation in smart meter and security device power rails.
For engineers reviewing the RAA230142GSB#HA0 datasheet, RAA230142GSB#HA0 pinout, RAA230142GSB#HA0 application, or RAA230142GSB#HA0 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 16-pin HTSSOP package, built-in VBB_IN/VBB_OUT battery switchover logic, 1.1MHz fixed switching frequency, 2ms soft-start, and latch-type short-circuit protection.
Technical Context
The RAA230142GSB#HA0 integrates high- and low-side MOSFETs (220mΩ and 170mΩ typical RDS(on)) and an internal phase compensator, enabling stable regulation without external compensation components. Its Auto PFM mode dynamically switches between pulse-frequency modulation (light load) and pulse-width modulation (heavy load), with reverse-current detection triggering PFM entry when inductor ripple bottom crosses 0A.
Battery backup functionality is implemented via dedicated VBB_IN and VBB_OUT pins, supporting seamless switchover from main DC/DC output to lithium primary cell (2.7V–3.7V) during VIN loss. The device includes a discharge circuit (100–200Ω on-resistance) that actively sinks VOUT capacitance upon shutdown, and thermal shutdown activates at 165°C with 20°C hysteresis.

Pinout & Package
RAA230142GSB#HA0 is housed in a 16-pin HTSSOP package with exposed thermal pad, optimized for high-power density and thermal dissipation in space-constrained industrial PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VOUT) | Feedback sense node | Connects to output rail for closed-loop regulation; internally referenced to 0.7V E/A threshold. |
| 2 (FB) | Feedback input | Accepts voltage divider signal for adjustable variants; open for RAA230142 fixed-5V operation. |
| 3 (VBB_IN) | Battery input | Accepts 2.7–3.7V lithium primary cell; enables automatic backup switchover when main supply fails. |
| 4 (VBB_OUT) | Battery backup output | Provides seamless backup power path; sourced from VOUT during normal operation or VBB_IN during failure. |
| 5 (EN) | Enable control | Active-high logic; drives device into shutdown (1µA IDD) when pulled low. |
| 6 (x_AutoPFM) | Mode select | Low = Auto PFM (PFM/PWM auto-switch); High = forced PWM mode only. |
| 7 (VREG) | Internal LDO output | 5.0V ±3% regulated supply for internal circuitry; requires 1µF ceramic decoupling to GND. |
| 8–11, 15–16 (GND) | Power/Signal ground | Multiple GND pins reduce impedance; exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal performance. |
| 12 (LX) | Switch node | Connects to inductor; carries high di/dt switching current; requires tight layout to minimize EMI. |
| 13 (Boost) | Bootstrap supply | Connects 0.1µF ceramic capacitor to LX to drive high-side MOSFET gate above VIN. |
| 14 (VIN) | Main power input | Accepts 7–28V; requires ≥10µF input capacitance placed near pin to suppress ripple and transients. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Battery backup switchover logic | Automatic VOUT-to-VBB_IN transition without external diodes; supports 2.7–3.7V Li-primary cells with ≤400Ω VBB_IN→VBB_OUT on-resistance. |
| Integrated discharge circuit | Active VOUT sink (100–200Ω) discharges output capacitance rapidly upon EN deactivation-eliminates need for external bleed resistors or FETs. |
| Synchronous rectification | On-chip high- and low-side MOSFETs (220mΩ/170mΩ) maximize conversion efficiency across 1mA–3A load range, especially critical in battery-limited applications. |
| Auto PFM/PWM mode control | Dynamic switching between PFM (high efficiency at <100mA) and PWM (stable regulation at >500mA) based on real-time inductor current zero-crossing detection. |
| Robust protection suite | Latch-type SCP resets only via EN toggle or UVLO recovery; thermal shutdown halts switching at 165°C with auto-restart after cooldown; UVLO prevents brownout operation. |

FAQ
What is the function of the x_AutoPFM pin on the RAA230142GSB#HA0?
The x_AutoPFM pin on the RAA230142GSB#HA0 selects operating mode: logic low enables Auto PFM (automatic switching between PFM at light load and PWM at heavy load), while logic high forces fixed PWM mode. This pin has no internal pull-down, so it must be externally tied to GND or VIN. In RAA230142GSB#HA0, this control allows designers to optimize efficiency versus noise trade-offs depending on system load profile and EMI constraints.
Does the RAA230142GSB#HA0 require external components for battery backup operation?
No, the RAA230142GSB#HA0 integrates all necessary circuitry for lithium primary cell backup, including VBB_IN/VBB_OUT switchover logic, on-resistance paths (≤400Ω VBB_IN→VBB_OUT), and automatic discharge control. Only a 0.47nF minimum capacitor on VBB_OUT and a 3.0–3.7V lithium cell are required-no external diodes, MOSFETs, or control ICs are needed to implement seamless backup functionality in the RAA230142GSB#HA0 design.
How does the RAA230142GSB#HA0 handle output short-circuit conditions?
The RAA230142GSB#HA0 implements latch-type short-circuit protection: if FB voltage drops below 0.35V (typ.), the output shuts down and remains latched off until EN is toggled low-to-high or VIN falls below UVLO stop voltage (3.7V). During latch, internal circuits like VREG remain powered. This behavior prevents thermal runaway and ensures deterministic recovery-critical for safety-critical RAA230142GSB#HA0 deployments in security and emergency systems.
Can the RAA230142GSB#HA0 operate with input voltages below 7V?
No-the RAA230142GSB#HA0 has a specified minimum input voltage of 7V per its Recommended Operating Conditions and Absolute Maximum Ratings. Operation below 7V may cause UVLO activation (output stops at VIN < 3.7V), unstable regulation, or failure to start. The device is engineered for industrial 12V/24V rails and battery-backed 7–28V systems; sub-7V inputs fall outside its validated operating range and are not supported for RAA230142GSB#HA0.
What thermal derating applies to the RAA230142GSB#HA0 in its 16-pin HTSSOP package?
The RAA230142GSB#HA0's 16-pin HTSSOP package has a maximum power dissipation of 2900mW at TA ≤ 25°C, decreasing linearly by −29.0mW/°C above 25°C. On a standard 4-layer board (76.2mm × 114.3mm, 50% copper coverage), this translates to ~2300mW at 45°C ambient. Proper thermal design-including soldering the exposed pad to a large GND plane-is mandatory to sustain 3A output current without exceeding TJ = 125°C in the RAA230142GSB#HA0.
