RT8803A
2/3-Phase PWM Controller for High-Density Power Supply
General Description
Features
z 5V Power Supply
The RT8803A is a 2/3-phase synchronous buck controller
specifically designed to power Intel®/AMDnext generation
microprocessors. It implements an internal 8-bitDAC that is
identified by VIDcode of microprocessor directly. RT8803A
generates VID table that conform to Intel® VRD10.x and
VRD11 core power with 6.25mV increments and 0.5%
accuracy.
z 2/3-Phase Power Conversion with Automatic Phase
Selection
z 8-bit VID Interface, Supporting Intel VRD11/VRD10.x
and AMD K8, K8_M2 CPUs
z VR_HOT and VR_FAN Indication
z Precision Core Voltage Regulation
z Power Stage Thermal Balance by DCR Current
Sensing
RT8803Aadoptsinnovativetime-sharingDCRcurrentsensing
technique to sense phase currents for phase current balance,
load line setting and over current protection. Using a common
GM to sense all phase currents eliminates offset and linearity
variation between GMs in conventional current sensing
methods.As sub-milli-ohm-grade inductors are widely used
in modern motherboards, slight offset and linearity mismatch
will cause considerable current shift between phases. This
technique ensures good current balance at mass production.
z Adjustable Soft-start
z Over-Voltage Protection
z Adjustable Frequency and Typical at 300kHz per
Phase
z Power Good Indication
z 32-Lead VQFN Package
z RoHS Compliant and 100% Lead (Pb)-Free
Other features include over current protection, programmable
soft start, over voltage protection, and output offset setting.
RT8803A comes to a small footprint package with
VQFN-32L 5x5.
