RT7272BGSP

Richtek Tech · DC-DC Converters · SOIC-8-EP

RT7272BGSP from Richtek Tech, in a SOIC-8-EP. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 SW output Switch Node. Internal high-side/low-side N-MOSFET common drain node. Connect to the external L-C output filter. Absolute maximum -0.3V to (VIN + 0.3V).
2 BOOT power_in Bootstrap Supply for the High-Side Gate Driver. Connect a 100nF or greater ceramic capacitor from BOOT to SW. VBOOT - VSW absolute maximum is -0.3V to 6V.
3 EN input Enable Control Input. Logic-high (VIH ≥ 2V) enables the converter; logic-low (VIL ≤ 0.4V) forces the device into shutdown mode (IQ ≈ 0.5µA). Do not float.
4 GND power_in Ground. Signal and power ground return. Connect together with the exposed pad (pin 9) to a large PCB copper area for maximum thermal dissipation.
5 FB input Feedback Input. Connect to the converter output through a resistive divider to program the output voltage. Internal reference VREF = 0.8V (typ).
6 COMP output Compensation Node. Error amplifier output used to compensate the control loop. Connect a series R-C network from COMP to GND; an additional shunt capacitor to GND may be required in some designs.
7 RLIM input Current Limit Setting. Connect a resistor from RLIM to GND to program the high-side MOSFET peak current limit (adjustable from 1.9A to 7A per RLIM equation in Note 5).
8 VIN power_in Power Input. Supplies the internal regulator and the high-side MOSFET drain. Operating range 4.5V to 36V (absolute max 40V). Bypass with a suitable large ceramic capacitor placed close to the pin.
9 GND (Exposed Pad) power_in Exposed thermal pad. Must be soldered to a large PCB copper area connected to GND for maximum thermal dissipation. Electrically connected to pin 4 (GND).

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
rt7272bgsp.step 193 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
rt7272bgsp-etched.step 1.8 MB You want the part with RT7272BGSP already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 453 faces against 63 in the bare model. It survives export, section views, and rendering in any CAD tool, and it drops straight into KiCad or Fusion with no extra setup.
