RT8077GQW Übersicht
A synchronous buck converter (also called a step-down switching regulator) is a switched-mode power supply topology that converts a higher DC input voltage to a lower DC output voltage using two MOSFET switches, an inductor, and output capacitance. Compared to linear regulators, buck converters achieve 90-95% efficiency at moderate load currents because they cycle energy through an inductor rather than dissipating it as heat. Synchronous buck converters replace the conventional rectifier diode with a low-Rdson MOSFET to further reduce conduction loss. Within the power management IC hierarchy, this places the RT8077GQW in the DC-DC converter family, which sits above simple LDO regulators and below system PMICs in terms of integration and complexity.
Key features include 2 A continuous output current, a programmable switching frequency up to 2 MHz (which keeps the inductor and capacitors very small), 100% duty-cycle low-dropout operation, internal soft-start, cycle-by-cycle current limit, and thermal shutdown. The exposed-pad WDFN-8 package provides a low thermal resistance path, enabling 2 A delivery without an external heatsink in typical 3.3 V to 1.8 V or 3.3 V to 1.2 V point-of-load applications.
The RT8077GQW uses a peak current-mode control architecture with internal compensation, which simplifies the external BOM to a minimum of five components: input capacitor, output capacitor, inductor, feedback resistor divider, and frequency-setting resistor. The high 2 MHz switching frequency minimizes output ripple and allows the use of a small 1 µH to 2.2 µH chip inductor, which is essential in space-constrained portable and wearable designs.
Typical applications include single-cell Li-ion powered portable devices, USB-powered peripherals, set-top box and HDTV point-of-load rails, solid-state drive (SSD) power, and FPGA/CPU core voltage generation in 5 V input systems. The wide 2.6 V to 5.5 V input covers both USB 5 V and single-cell Li-ion (3.0 V to 4.2 V) rails directly without a pre-regulator.
When designing with this part, select the inductor based on the chosen switching frequency and ripple target - typically 1 µH to 2.2 µH at 2 MHz with less than 30% peak-to-peak inductor current ripple. Place the input ceramic capacitor as close as possible to the PGND and VIN pins to minimize switching-node ringing.

Typische Anwendungen
RT8077GQW ist geeignet für 6 Anwendungs: Single-Cell Li-ion Portable Devices, USB-Powered Peripherals and Dongles, Solid-State Drive (SSD) Power, Set-Top Box and HDTV Point-of-Load Rails, FPGA and Microcontroller Core Voltage Rails, IoT and Smart Home Sensor Hubs.
Single-Cell Li-ion Portable Devices
The RT8077GQW is ideal for single-cell Li-ion powered portable devices because its 2.6 V to 5.5 V input range covers the entire Li-ion discharge curve (3.0 V to 4.2 V) without a pre-regulator. At a typical 3.7 V battery to 1.8 V core rail conversion at 2 A load, the synchronous architecture delivers roughly 90% efficiency versus 50% for an LDO, extending battery runtime by 30-40%. The 2 MHz switching frequency and 1.5 µH chip inductor fit easily inside smartphones, tablets, and wearables where PCB area is severely constrained. Place the device between the battery protection FET output and the SoC/PMIC input rail with a 22 µF input cap and 22 µF output cap to meet load-transient requirements of modern application processors.

USB-Powered Peripherals and Dongles
The RT8077GQW drops directly off a USB 5 V rail to generate 3.3 V or 1.8 V system rails at up to 2 A. Its 5.5 V maximum input tolerates USB hot-plug transients, and the 2 MHz switching frequency avoids interference with the 27 MHz reference clocks common in USB peripherals. A 4.7 µF to 22 µF input ceramic cap plus a 22 µF output cap and 1.5 µH inductor form a minimal 5-component BOM that fits USB stick form factors. Compared to a 5 V to 3.3 V LDO, the RT8077GQW saves 1.7 V x 2 A = 3.4 W of dissipation, which is critical in sealed plastic enclosures without airflow.
Empfohlen
Solid-State Drive (SSD) Power
The RT8077GQW suits SSD power architectures that require a compact 3.3 V to 1.2 V or 1.8 V core rail at 1 A to 2 A with tight regulation. SSD controllers and NAND flash demand clean low-voltage rails; the peak current-mode control with internal compensation gives fast transient response to sudden NAND write-current spikes. The WDFN-8 2x2 mm footprint fits M.2 2230/2242 form factors where board area is measured in square millimeters. Pair the RT8077GQW with input/output ceramic caps rated for 6.3 V or higher and a 1.5 µH inductor with >3 A saturation rating for reliable 2 A operation.
Empfohlen
Set-Top Box and HDTV Point-of-Load Rails
The RT8077GQW generates point-of-load rails for SoCs, DDR memory, and HDMI transceivers inside set-top boxes and HDTVs. The 5 V input from the main power supply drops to 3.3 V, 1.8 V, or 1.2 V with high efficiency, reducing thermal stress inside sealed plastic enclosures without forced airflow. The 100% duty-cycle low-dropout operation prevents output droop during heavy SoC load steps. Multiple RT8077GQW instances can be paralleled through separate rails (sequenced via EN pins) to power core, IO, and DDR subsystems independently, an architecture typical in Broadcom-based STB designs.
Empfohlen
FPGA and Microcontroller Core Voltage Rails
The RT8077GQW provides a 5 V to 1.0 V or 1.2 V core rail at up to 2 A for small FPGAs, low-power MCUs, and ASIC prototypes. The internal synchronous switches and 2 MHz frequency minimize output ripple below 20 mV peak-to-peak, which is critical for low-power FPGA core supplies that are sensitive to ripple-induced jitter. The exposed pad WDFN-8 package dissipates up to 1 W without a heatsink, sufficient for 5 V to 1.2 V at 1 A. The EN pin enables power sequencing with respect to other rails (e.g., 3.3 V IO before 1.2 V core) required by most modern FPGA reference designs.
Empfohlen
IoT and Smart Home Sensor Hubs
The RT8077GQW powers IoT sensor hubs that combine Zigbee, Thread, BLE, or Wi-Fi radios with multiple sensors. Its 2 A capability handles radio TX current peaks of 200-400 mA while still supplying a sensor MCU and peripherals. The 2.6 V to 5.5 V input range accepts both USB-C 5 V and 3.3 V system rails, simplifying dual-input designs. The high switching frequency and small inductor keep the converter footprint below 25 mm², leaving PCB area for antenna and sensor placement. The internal soft-start prevents inrush current that could otherwise trip USB current-limit switches at plug-in events.

Designhinweise
Place the input ceramic capacitor (typically 22 µF X5R 6.3 V) as close as possible to the IN and PGND pins to minimize switching-node ringing. The exposed thermal pad must be soldered to a ground copper pour of at least 50 mm² to keep junction temperature within safe limits at 2 A continuous load. Route the SW trace away from sensitive analog traces and keep it short - a long SW trace acts as an antenna and injects EMI into nearby signal lines.
At full 2 A load with a 5 V to 1.8 V conversion, the RT8077GQW dissipates roughly 0.5 W (90% efficiency). At higher VIN/VOUT differentials like 5 V to 1.0 V, dissipation rises to about 1.0 W, requiring the thermal pad to be connected to a 100 mm² ground pour to maintain junction temperature below 100 °C. Do not exceed 85 °C ambient for continuous 2 A operation without active cooling or a larger copper pour.
Do not omit the bootstrap capacitor on the BST pin - a 0.1 µF ceramic from BST to SW is required for the high-side gate drive. Using an inductor with insufficient saturation current (< 3 A for 2 A applications) causes subharmonic oscillation and reduced efficiency. Avoid using electrolytic output capacitors - the RT8077GQW is designed for low-ESR ceramic output caps and may oscillate with high-ESR loads.
Use a single-point ground connection between AGND and PGND - tie them together at one place on the PCB under the IC, not at multiple points, to avoid ground bounce. Place the feedback resistor divider close to the FB pin and keep the trace short to prevent noise pickup on the high-impedance feedback node. The RT resistor to ground should also be placed near the RT pin with minimal trace length.
Compliance-Informationen
RoHS compliant per Richtek product page and IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020. Not AEC-Q100 qualified; automotive applications should evaluate AEC-Q100 alternatives.
