Overview

Description

The RTKA12120DE0000BU evaluation board features the RRM12120 20A synchronous step-down DC/DC converter power module. The RTKA12120DE0000BU evaluation board is a 3.8in x 3.5in 6-layer FR4 board with 2oz. copper on all layers. Operating from a single 4.75V to 15V input power rail, the RTKA12120DE0000BU evaluation board offers adjustable output voltages down to 0.6V and efficiencies of up to 94%. The RRM12120 uses the proprietary Renesas digital synthetic current modulation scheme to achieve the industry-best combination of transient response, ease of tuning, and efficiency across the full load range. The RTKA12120DE0000BU evaluation board is designed to program switching frequencies up to 1.25MHz. The Renesas PowerNavigator™ can be used to configure and monitor the device. Soft-start/Soft-stop time, TON/TOFF delay, VOUT transition rate can be easily configured using the PowerNavigator tool. VIN UVLO and its hysteresis amongst the various parameters, can be configured in the PowerNavigator without the need for hardware modification.
