Description

The RAA489800 is a bidirectional, buck-boost voltage regulator that provides buck-boost voltage regulation and protection features. The advanced Renesas R3™ Technology provides high light-load efficiency, fast transient response, and seamless DCM/CCM transitions. The RAA489800 takes input power from a wide range of DC power sources up to 23V (such as conventional AC/DC adapters (ADP), USB PD ports, travel ADP) and safely converts it to a regulated voltage up to 21V.

The RAA489800 can also convert a wide range DC power source connected at its output (system side) to a regulated voltage to its input (ADP side). This bidirectional buck-boost regulation feature makes the RAA489800's application very flexible. In addition to 4-switch buck-boost configuration, it can also support 2-switch Buck mode operation. The RAA489800 includes various system operation functions such as the Forward mode enable pin, Reverse mode enable pin, programmable soft-start time, and adjustable forward and reverse VOUT. It also has forward and reverse power-good indicators. The protection functionalities include OCP, OVP, UVP, and OTP.

The RAA489800 has serial communication through SMBus/I2C that allows programming of many critical parameters to deliver a customized solution. These programming parameters include, but are not limited to: output current limit, input current limit, and output voltage setting.

  1. RAA489800's abnormal operation at Light Load (500mA)

    Dear, All. I made a power board using RAA489800 IC.  At some case, I found abnormal operation.  [Case1]  Vin = 12V Vout = 13.5V System Side Load = 500mA ==> periodic oscillation phenomenon ,  Yellow, Red Color Waveform :  Vout [Case2]  But, at heavy load(1.5A), It's Okay.  I think that this phenomenon ...
