Preliminary
RT8058
Short-Circuit Protection
At overload condition, current mode operation provides
cycle-by-cycle current limit to protect the internal power
switches. When the output is shorted to ground, the
inductor current will decays very slowly during a single
switching cycle. A current runaway detector is used to
monitor inductor current. As current increasing beyond
the control of current loop, switching cycles will be skipped
to prevent current runaway from occurring. If the FB voltage
is smaller than 0.3V after the completion of soft-start
period, under voltage protection (UVP) will lock the output
to high-z to protect the converter. UVP lock can only be
cleared by recycling the input power.
Thermal Protection
If the junction temperature of RT8058 reaches certain
temperature (150°C), both converters will be disabled. The
RT8058 will be re-enabled and automatically initializes
internal soft start when the junction temperature drops
below 110 °C.
Inductor Selection
For a given input and output voltage, the inductor value
and operating frequency determine the ripple current. The
ripple current ∆IL increases with higher VIN and decreases
with higher inductance.

Having a lower ripple current reduces the ESR losses in
the output capacitors and the output voltage ripple. Highest
efficiency operation is achieved at low frequency with small
ripple current. This, however, requires a large inductor. A
reasonable starting point for selecting the ripple current
is ∆IL = 0.4(IMAX). The largest ripple current occurs at
the highest VIN. To guarantee that the ripple current stays
below a specified maximum, the inductor value should be
chosen according to the following equation :

Inductor Core Selection
Once the value for L is known, the type of inductor must
be selected. High efficiency converters generally cannot
afford the core loss found in low cost powdered iron cores,

forcing the use of more expensive ferrite or mollypermalloy
cores. Actual core loss is independent of core size for a
fixed inductor value but it is very dependent on the
inductance selected. As the inductance increases, core
losses decrease. Unfortunately, increased inductance
requires more turns of wire and therefore copper losses
will increase.
Ferrite designs have very low core losses and are preferred
at high switching frequencies, so design goals can
concentrate on copper loss and preventing saturation.
Ferrite core material saturates “hard”, which means that
inductance collapses abruptly when the peak design
current is exceeded. This result in an abrupt increase in
inductor ripple current and consequent output voltage ripple.
Do not allow the core to saturate!
Different core materials and shapes will change the size/
current and price/current relationship of an inductor. Toroid
or shielded pot cores in ferrite or permalloy materials are
small and don' t radiate energy but generally cost more
than powdered iron core inductors with similar
characteristics. The choice of which style inductor to use
mainly depends on the price vs. size requirements and
any radiated field/EMI requirements.
CIN and COUT Selection
The input capacitance, CIN, is needed to filter the
trapezoidal current at the source of the top MOSFET. To
prevent large ripple voltage, a low ESR input capacitor
sized for the maximum RMS current should be used. RMS
current is given by :
IRMS
= IOUT(MAX)
VOUT
VIN
VIN − 1
VOUT
This formula has a maximum at VIN = 2VOUT, where IRMS
= IOUT/2. This simple worst-case condition is commonly
used for design because even significant deviations do
not offer much relief. Note that ripple current ratings from
capacitor manufacturers are often based on only 2000
hours of life which makes it advisable to further derate the
capacitor, or choose a capacitor rated at a higher
temperature than required. Several capacitors may also
be paralleled to meet size or height requirements in the
design.
