Power Supply
General Description
Features
Dual Single-Phase PWM Controller for CPU Core
The RT8166B is a dual single-phase PWM controller with
integrated MOSFET drivers, compliant with Intel IMVP7
Pulse Width Modulation Specification to support both
CPU core andGPU core power. This part adoptsG-NAVPTM
(Green-NativeAVP), which is a Richtek proprietary topology
derived from finite DC gain compensator in constant on-
time control mode. G-NAVPTM makes this part an easy
setting PWM controller to meet all Intel AVP (Active
Voltage Positioning) mobile CPU/GPU requirements. The
RT8166B uses SVIDinterface to control an 8-bitDAC for
output voltage programming. The built-in high accuracy
DAC converts the received VID code into a voltage value
ranging from 0V to 1.52V with 5mV step voltage. The
system accuracy of the controller can reach 0.8%. The
RT8166B operates in continuous conduction mode or
diode emulation mode, according to the SVIDcommand.
The maximum efficiency can reach up to 90% in different
operating modes according to different load conditions.
The droop function (load line) can be easily programmed
by setting the DC gain of the error amplifier. With proper
compensation, the load transient response can achieve
optimized AVP performance.
