RT8199B
Single-Phase Controller with Integrated Driver for VR12.1
Mobile CPU Core Power Supply
General Description
Features
VR12.1 Compatible Power Management States
Switching Frequency up to 1MHz
Serial VID Interface
The RT8199B is a VR12.1 compliant CPU power controller
which includes one voltage rails : a 1 phase synchronous
buck controller, the CORE VR. The RT8199B has zero
load-line function to support zero load-line application. The
RT8199B adoptsG-NAVPTM (GreenNativeAVP), which is
Richtek's proprietary topology derived from finiteDC gain
compensator with current mode control, making it an easy
to set the PWM controller, meeting all Intel CPU
requirements ofAVP (Active Voltage Positioning). Based
on theG-NAVPTM topology, the RT8199B also features a
quick response mechanism for optimizedAVP performance
during load transient. The RT8199B supports mode
transition function with various operating states. A Serial
VID (SVID) interface is built in the RT8199B to
communicate with Intel VR12.1 compliant CPU. The
RT8199B supports VID on-the-fly function with three
different slew rates : Fast, Slow and Decay. By utilizing
the G-NAVPTM topology, the operating frequency of the
RT8199B varies with VID, load and input voltage to further
enhance the efficiency even in CCM. The built-in high
accuracyDAC converts the SVIDcode ranging from 0.25V
to 1.52V with 5mV per step, as shown in Table 1. The
RT8199B integrates a high accuracy ADC for platform
setting functions, such as quick response or over current
level. The RT8199B provides VR ready output signals. It
also features complete fault protection functions including
Over Voltage (OV), Under Voltage (UV), Negative Voltage
(NV), Over Current (OC) and Under Voltage Lockout
(UVLO). The RT8199B is available in a WQFN-32L 4x4
small foot print package.
