RT6230AHGQUF

Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators Overview

The RT6230AHGQUF is a synchronous step-down DC-DC converter from Richtek USA Inc., part of the ACOT™ series. It features an input voltage range of 6V to 23V and delivers a maximum output current of 6A. The device operates at a fixed switching frequency of 500kHz, with an adjustable output voltage range from 5V to 12V. Housed in a compact 16-UQFN (3x3) package, it supports surface mount installation and functions within a junction temperature range of -40°C to 150°C.

Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix HGQUF against the official datasheet to confirm the 16-UQFN package and 500kHz frequency variant. Ensure compatibility with RoHS3 standards if required by your assembly process. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributors to avoid counterfeit components. Confirm lead times and storage conditions prior to ordering.

Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators Selection Notes

Select this component when a 6A output current is required with a 500kHz switching frequency. It is suitable for designs needing an input voltage up to 23V and an adjustable output between 5V and 12V. Consider the 16-UQFN footprint for space-constrained PCB layouts. Compare against the RT6236 series if higher input voltage or different switching frequencies are needed.

Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators Part Context

This regulator belongs to Richtek's ACOT™ family, designed for applications demanding rapid transient response without external compensation networks. The RT6230A variant specifically targets mid-current applications where efficiency and board space are critical constraints. It complements other devices in the lineup offering different input ranges or current capabilities.

Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the RT6236AHGQUF for higher input voltage support or the RT6230BHGQUF if alternative pinout or thermal characteristics are preferred. Verify package compatibility and electrical specifications before substitution.
