Functional Pin Description
Pin No.
Pin Name
Pin Function
Bootstrap for High Side Gate Driver. Connect a 0.1μF or greater ceramic
capacitor from BOOT to SW pins.
1
BOOT
Power Input. The input Voltage range is from 4.5V to 18V. Connect two 10μF
or larger ceramic capacitors from the VIN to GND.

VIN
SW
Switch Node. Connect this pin to an external L-C filter.
4,
Ground. The exposed pad must be soldered to a large PCB and connected to
GND for maximum power dissipation.
GND
9 (Exposed Pad)
Feedback Input. It is used to regulate the output of the converter to a set value
via an external resistive voltage divider.
5
6
FB
Compensation Node. COMP is used to compensate the regulation control
loop. Connect a series RC network from COMP to GND. In some cases, an
additional capacitor from COMP to GND is required.
COMP
Enable Input. A logic high enables the converter; a logic low forces the
RT7257J into shutdown mode reducing the supply current to less than 3μA.
Attach this pin to VIN with a 100kΩ pull-up resistor for automatic startup.
Soft-Start Control Input. SS controls the soft-start period. Connect a capacitor
from SS to GND to set the soft-start period. A 0.1μF capacitor sets the
soft-start period to 13.5ms.
