RT6362GQW

Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators Overview

The RT6362GQW is an asynchronous step-down converter from Richtek USA Inc., housed in a WDFN-10 package. It supports an input voltage range of 4.5 V to 60 V and delivers up to 2.5 A output current. The adjustable output voltage spans from 800 mV to the input voltage. Operating with a fixed switching frequency between 100 kHz and 2.5 MHz, the device maintains a quiescent current of 90 uA. It functions within a junction temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.

Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators Feature Summary

• Point-of-load (POL) conversion for embedded processors
• General-purpose DC-DC step-down power supplies

Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix GQW corresponds to the WDFN-10 package variant when ordering. Confirm moisture sensitivity level (MSL) requirements for your assembly line process. Ensure the supplier provides valid RoHS compliance documentation. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to ensure compatibility with your design specifications before finalizing procurement.

Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators Selection Notes

Select this component when a 60V input rating and 2.5A continuous current are required in a compact footprint. Compare against synchronous alternatives if higher efficiency at light loads is critical, as this model uses an asynchronous design. Consider the WDFN-10 package thermal performance relative to your PCB copper area constraints. Verify that the external compensation network meets your stability requirements across the full load range.

Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators Part Context

This part belongs to the RT636x family of high-voltage asynchronous buck converters designed for industrial and automotive environments. It shares core electrical characteristics with siblings like the RT6361GQW (1.5A) and RT6363GQW (3A), differing primarily in current handling capacity. The family targets applications needing robust performance under wide input voltage variations without the complexity of synchronous rectification.

Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators Replacement Considerations

RT6362GSP is a parameter-equivalent alternative offered by Richtek in an 8-SOP-EP package. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal dissipation differences between the WDFN-10 and SOP-8 packages before substitution.
