Operation
The RT6150A/B is a synchronous average current mode switching Buck-Boost converter designed to maintain a fixed
output voltage from an input supply that can be above, equal, or below the output voltage. The average inductor current
is regulated by a fast current regulator which is controlled by a voltage control loop. The voltage error amplifier gets its
feedback input from the FB pin. For adjustable output voltage, a resistive voltage divider must be connected to the FB
pin. When VIN is greater than VOUT, the device operates in Buck mode. When VIN is lower than VOUT, the device
operates in Boost mode. When VIN is close to VOUT, the RT6150A/B automatically enters Buck-Boost mode. In Buck-
Boost mode, the converter will maintain the regulation for output voltage and keep a minimum current ripple in the
inductor to guarantee good performance.

Note 1. Stresses beyond those listed “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are
stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in
the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions may
affect device reliability.
Note 2. θJA is measured at TA = 25°C on a high effective thermal conductivity four-layer test board per JEDEC 51-7. θJC is
measured at the exposed pad of the package.
Note 3. Devices are ESD sensitive. Handling precaution is recommended.
Note 4. The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating conditions.
Note 5. Current measurements are performed when the output are not switching.

Four-Layer PCB
WDFN-10L 3x3
For the best performance of the RT6150A/B, the following
3.0
PCB layout guidelines must be strictly followed.
2.5
Place the input and output capacitors as close as
2.0 possible to the input and output pins respectively for
WDFN-10L 2.5x2.5 good filtering.
1.5
Keep the main power traces as wide and short as
1.0
possible.
0.5
The switching node area connected to LX and inductor
0.0 should be minimized for lower EMI.
0 25 50 75 100 125
Place the feedback components as close as possible

Connect the GND and Exposed Pad to a strong ground
plane for maximum thermal dissipation and noise
protection.
Directly connect the output capacitors to the feedback
network to avoid bouncing caused by parasitic
resistance and inductance from the PCB trace.
