RT8241
High Efficiency Single Synchronous Buck PWM Controller
General Description
Features
Meet Intel VCCSA Voltage Slew Rate
Built-in 1% Reference Voltage
2-Bit Programmable Output Voltage with Integrated
Transition Support
The RT8241 PWM controller provides high efficiency,
excellent transient response, and highDC output accuracy
needed for stepping down high voltage batteries to
generate low voltage CPU core, I/O, and chipset RAM
supplies in notebook computers.
Quick Load-Step Response within 100ns
4700ppm/°C Programmable Current Limit by Low
Side RDS(ON) Sensing
The RT8241 supports on chip voltage programming function
between 0.675V and 0.9V by controllingGX digital inputs.
4.5V to 26V Battery Input Range
Internal Ramp Current Limit Soft-Start Control
Drives Large Synchronous Rectifier FETs
Integrated Boost Switch
The constant-on-time PWM control scheme handles wide
input/output voltage ratios with ease and provides 100ns
“instant-on” response to load transients while maintaining
a relatively constant switching frequency.
Over/Under Voltage Protection
Thermal Shutdown
The RT8241 achieves high efficiency at a reduced cost
by eliminating the current-sense resistor found in
traditional current-mode PWMs. Efficiency is further
enhanced by its ability to drive very large synchronous
rectifier MOSFETs and enter diode emulation mode at
light load condition. The buck conversion allows this device
to directly step down high voltage batteries at the highest
possible efficiency. The RT8241 is intended for CPU core,
chipset, DRAM, or other low voltage supplies as low as
0.675V.
