Image of Richtek EVB_RTQ2806A/12A/20A Power Management Evaluation BoardsRichtek EVB_RTQ2806A, EVB_RTQ2812A, and EVB_RTQ2820A evaluation boards highlight the RTQ2806A/12A/20A, high-performance, synchronous step-down converters capable of delivering up to 6 A/12 A/20 A output current with a broad input supply range of 3.5 V to 17 V.

EVB_RTQ2806A/12A/20A evaluation boards ensure high efficiency with a thermally enhanced package, effectively reducing junction temperature and significantly extending component lifespan, making it particularly suitable for high-power-density data center applications. Its fast load transient response ensures stable output voltage performance, minimizing output voltage variations, and stable output can be achieved with only MLCC capacitors.

These products offer extensive design flexibility with selectable switching frequency, adjustable current limit, and multiple PWM operation modes, making them highly adaptable across a range of applications. Additional features include an independent enable control input pin and a power-good indicator for streamlined sequence control. A programmable soft start is also available through an external capacitor connected to the SS/TR pin to control inrush current during start-up.

The evaluation boards are specifically designed to facilitate the demonstration and development of RTQ2806A/12A/20A-based applications.
