RT8223N
High Efficiency, Main Power Supply Controller
for Notebook Computer
Features
General Description
z Constant On-time Control with 100ns Load Step
The RT8223N is a dual step-down, switch-mode power
supply controller generating logic-supply voltages in
battery-powered systems. It includes two Pulse Width
Modulation (PWM) controllers adjustable from 2V to 5.5V,
and also features fixed 5V/3.3V linear regulators. Each
linear regulator provides up to 100mA output current with
automatic linear regulator bootstrapping to the PWM
outputs. The RT8223N includes on-board power up
sequencing, a power good output, internal soft-start, and
soft-discharge output that prevents negative voltage during
shutdown.
Response
z Wide Input Voltage Range : 6V to 25V
z Dual Adjustable Outputs from 2V to 5.5V
z Fixed 3.3V and 5V LDO Output : 100mA
z 2V Reference Voltage
z Frequency Selectable via TONSEL Setting
z 4700ppm/°C RDS(ON) Current Sensing
z Programmable Current Limit Combined with
Enable Control
z Selectable PWM, DEM, or Ultrasonic Mode
z Internal Soft-Start and Soft-Discharge
z High Efficiency up to 97%
The constant on-time PWM scheme can operate without
sense resistors and provide 100ns load transient response
while maintaining nearly constant switching frequency. To
eliminate noise in audio applications, an ultrasonic mode
is included, which maintains the switching frequency
above 25kHz. Moreover, the diode-emulation mode
maximizes efficiency for light load applications. The
RT8223Nis available in a WQFN-24L 4x4 package.
z 5mW Quiescent Power Dissipation
z Thermal Shutdown
z RoHS Compliant and Halogen Free
Applications
z Notebook and Sub-Notebook Computers
z 3-Cell and 4-Cell Li+ Battery-PoweredDevices
