## Datasheet

📄 [Download PDF](https://novapart.co/datasheet/farnell:3977375/)

• Buck regulator power module with integrated shielded Features inductor • 36VDC input voltage, 4A output current • Programmable output voltage: 1 to 7V Power • Ultra-high power density: 5.0 x 5.5mm QFN footprint • Enable, power good, soft start Module • Flip-chip technology for improved thermal behavior • UVLO, SCP, OCP, OTP ee Description The RPX-4.0 is a buck converter with an integrated inductor in a compact 5mm x 5.5mm x 4.1mm thermally-enhanced QFN package. The input range is from 3.8 to 36VDC, allowing 5V, 12V, or 24V supply voltages to be used. The output voltage can be set with two resistors in the range from 1 up to 7VDC. The output current is up to 4A and is fully protected against continuous short-circuits, output overcurrent, or over-temperature faults, making the device particularly suitable for industrial automation, test and measurement, portable devices, and high density or weight-sensitive applications.

## OUTPUT VOLTAGE SETTING 

A resistor divider connected to the FB pin (pin 9) sets the output voltage of the RPX-4.0. The output voltage adjustment range is from 1VDC to 7VDC. The graph below shows the feedback resistor connections for setting the output voltage. The recommended value of RFB1 is 10k W . Use the equation to calculate the value for RFB2. The table below lists the standard resistor values for several output voltages. The capacitance values listed represent the effective capacitance, taking into account the effects of DC VCC_ext and temperature variation.

The RPX-4.0 has a built-in power-good signal (PG) which indicates whether the output voltage is within its regulation range. The PG pin is an open-drain output that requires a pull-up resistor to a nominal voltage source of 18VDC or less. The internal 5-V LDO output (PGS pin), can be used as the pull-up voltage source. A typical pull-up resistor value is between 10k W and 100k W . The maximum recommended PG sink current is 3mA. Once the output voltage rises above 94% of the set voltage, the PG pin rises to the pull-up voltage level. The PG pin is pulled low when the output voltage drops lower than 92% or rises higher than 107% of the nominal set voltage. VFB

## PCB LAYOUT SUGGESTION ~~CO~~ 

## Layout Considerations: 

1. Large copper for power planes (+VIN, VOUT, and PGND) for enhanced thermal performance. 

2. Input and output capacitors should be placed as closely to the pins as possible. 

3. Connect AGND to PGND 

4. Place RFB1 (R1) and RFB2 (R2) as close as possible to the FB pin. 

5. Use multiple vias to connect the power planes to internal layers.
