Product details
Overview
RAA230223GSB#HA0 from Renesas Electronics is a dual synchronous step-down DC/DC converter with integrated power MOSFETs, 4.5V–16V input range, 3A per channel output capability, fixed 1.1MHz switching frequency, and built-in battery backup circuit for lithium primary cell support. It delivers regulated outputs from 0.8V to 6.0V (adjustable via external resistors) and operates in Auto PFM mode for high light-load efficiency-ideal for smart meter and security device power rails.
For engineers reviewing the RAA230223GSB#HA0 datasheet, RAA230223GSB#HA0 pinout, RAA230223GSB#HA0 application, or RAA230223GSB#HA0 equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual-channel adjustable-output architecture, battery backup functionality (VBB_IN/VBB_OUT), 20-pin HTSSOP package with exposed thermal pad, and latch-type short-circuit protection with thermal shutdown at 165°C.
Technical Context
The RAA230223GSB#HA0 integrates two independent buck regulators sharing control logic but with separate power paths, feedback networks, and enable inputs (EN1/EN2). Each channel uses synchronous rectification with internal high-side (180 mΩ typ.) and low-side (130 mΩ typ.) MOSFETs, fixed 1.1MHz oscillator, and digital soft-start (2ms typ.). The battery backup circuit enables seamless switchover between main supply (VOUT1) and backup source (VBB_IN) without external diodes.
Control features include Auto PFM/PWM mode selection via x_AutoPFM pin, open-drain PGOOD output tied to VREG-based monitoring, and integrated discharge circuits on both VOUT pins. Protection includes latch-type short-circuit detection (triggered at FB < 0.35V), thermal shutdown (165°C auto-recovery), and under-voltage lockout (UVLO start at 3.9V, stop at 3.7V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5V to 16V - supports wide industrial input rails including 12V systems and battery-backed 5V/3.3V domains. |
| Output Current (per Channel) | 3A continuous - sufficient to power microcontrollers, sensors, and communication ICs without external current boosting. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.1MHz fixed - enables compact external components (e.g., 2.2–4.7µH inductors, 22µF ceramic output caps) and reduces audible noise. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.8V to 6.0V adjustable - set via external resistor divider (VOUT = 0.7V × (1 + R1/R2)), covering core logic, I/O, and analog supply needs. |
| Battery Backup Support | VBB_IN (2.7–3.7V) → VBB_OUT with 400Ω typ. on-resistance - provides uninterrupted power to real-time clocks or SRAM during main supply failure. |
| Shutdown Current | 1µA typ. - minimizes standby drain in battery-critical applications like smart meters and emergency devices. |
| Soft Start Time | 2ms fixed - prevents inrush current and output overshoot without requiring external timing components. |
Pinout & Package
RAA230223GSB#HA0 is housed in a 20-pin HTSSOP package (Renesas code PTSP0020JF-A) with exposed thermal pad for enhanced thermal dissipation. The package measures 6.5mm × 4.4mm × 1.2mm and requires connection of the exposed pad to PGND/GND for optimal thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 20 | PGND1 / PGND2 | Power ground return for CH1 and CH2 inductor paths - must be routed separately from analog ground to minimize noise coupling. |
| 2, 19 | LX1 / LX2 | Switch node connections to external inductors - high dv/dt nodes requiring tight layout and short traces to reduce EMI. |
| 3, 18 | Boost1 / Boost2 | Bootstrap inputs for high-side gate drive - require 0.1µF ceramic capacitors connected directly to respective LX pins. |
| 4, 17 | VIN1 / VIN2 | Main input supplies for each channel - must be decoupled with ≥10µF capacitors placed near pins. |
| 5, 16 | VOUT1 / VOUT2 | Feedback sense points - connect directly to output capacitor anode; used with external resistor dividers for adjustable regulation. |
| 6, 15 | FB1 / FB2 | Feedback inputs - reference 0.700V internal threshold; accuracy ±2.5% over temperature and line/load conditions. |
| 7 | GND | Analog ground reference - tie to system AGND and connect exposed pad to this net or PGND for stability. |
| 8 | VREG | 5.0V internal LDO output - powers internal circuitry and requires 1µF ceramic capacitor to AGND. |
| 9 | PGOOD | Open-drain power-good indicator - pulled high via 100kΩ resistor; goes HiZ when either channel is active, low when both outputs fall below 80% of target. |
| 10 | x_AutoPFM | Mode control input - low = Auto PFM (PFM at light load, PWM at heavy load); high = forced PWM only. |
| 11 | VBB_IN | Battery input terminal - accepts 2.7–3.7V lithium primary cells; leakage <0.5µA ensures long shelf life. |
| 12 | VBB_OUT | Backup voltage output - automatically sourced from VOUT1 (during normal operation) or VBB_IN (during backup), with 100Ω/400Ω typical path resistances. |
| 13, 14 | EN1 / EN2 | Independent channel enable inputs - TTL-compatible; no internal pull-downs, so must be hard-wired to GND or VIN for defined state. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual adjustable-output buck regulation | Two independent 3A channels with 0.8–6.0V output range, enabling single-chip power for multi-rail systems (e.g., MCU core + I/O + analog). |
| Integrated battery backup circuit | Eliminates need for external diodes or OR-ing controllers; automatic switchover between VOUT1 and VBB_IN with <10µs response during main supply loss. |
| Auto PFM/PWM mode switching | Delivers >85% efficiency at 1mA load and >92% at 1A load (12V→3.3V), extending battery runtime in always-on edge devices. |
| Comprehensive protection suite | Latch-type short-circuit protection, thermal shutdown (165°C), UVLO (3.9V start), and integrated VOUT discharge circuits prevent damage and simplify system-level fault recovery. |
| Fixed 2ms soft-start and internal compensation | Guarantees monotonic startup without external components; phase-compensated loop eliminates need for feedback capacitor in most designs. |

FAQ
What is the function of the VBB_IN and VBB_OUT pins on the RAA230223GSB#HA0?
The VBB_IN pin accepts a 2.7–3.7V lithium primary cell, while VBB_OUT provides backup power derived either from CH1's VOUT1 (during normal operation) or directly from VBB_IN (during main supply failure). The RAA230223GSB#HA0 automatically selects the higher valid source with typical on-resistances of 100Ω (VOUT1→VBB_OUT) and 400Ω (VBB_IN→VBB_OUT), eliminating external diodes and reducing voltage drop.
Does the RAA230223GSB#HA0 support independent enable control for each channel?
Yes, the RAA230223GSB#HA0 provides fully independent enable inputs: EN1 controls CH1 and EN2 controls CH2. Both are TTL-compatible with no internal pull-downs, requiring hard-wiring to GND (disable) or VIN (enable). This allows flexible power sequencing-for example, powering a microcontroller core before peripherals-or dynamic rail shutdown to reduce system standby current.
How does the Auto PFM mode operate in the RAA230223GSB#HA0, and how is it enabled?
The RAA230223GSB#HA0 enters Auto PFM mode when the x_AutoPFM pin is held low, automatically switching between PFM (for high efficiency at light loads <100mA) and PWM (for stable regulation at heavy loads ≥500mA). At light load, inductor current reverses, triggering PFM; at heavy load, continuous conduction maintains PWM. This behavior is confirmed in the RAA230223GSB#HA0 datasheet Section 16 and enables >85% efficiency across a 1000:1 load range.
What protection features are integrated into the RAA230223GSB#HA0?
The RAA230223GSB#HA0 integrates latch-type short-circuit protection (triggered when FB falls below 0.35V), thermal shutdown at 165°C (auto-recovery), under-voltage lockout (UVLO start at 3.9V, stop at 3.7V), and per-channel discharge circuits activated on EN deassertion. These protections are documented in Sections 22–23 of the RAA230223GSB#HA0 datasheet and ensure robust operation in harsh environments without external supervision circuitry.
Can the RAA230223GSB#HA0 generate different output voltages on each channel?
Yes, the RAA230223GSB#HA0 supports independent output voltage programming on CH1 and CH2 using external resistor dividers connected to FB1/VOUT1 and FB2/VOUT2. The output is calculated as VOUT = 0.7V × (1 + R1/R2), with supported range 0.8V–6.0V. This capability is explicitly stated for RAA230223 in the Product Lineup Table (Page 2) and enables asymmetric rail generation-for instance, 1.2V for a processor core and 3.3V for I/O-within a single IC.
