RT8888D
3-Phase Controller with Triple Integrated Driver for VR12.5
Mobile CPU Core Power Supply
General Description
Features
Intel VR12.5 Serial VID Interface Compatible
3/2/1 Phase PWM Controller with Triple Integrated
Driver
The RT8888Dis a three phase CPU power controller with
triple integrated driver for VR12.5 compliant. The RT8888D
adopts the G-NAVPTM (Green Native AVP) which is
Richtek's proprietary topology derived from finiteDC gain
of EA amplifier with current mode control, making it an
easy setting the droop to meet all Intel CPU requirements
of AVP (Adaptive Voltage Positioning). Based on the G-
NAVPTM topology, the RT8888D also features a quick
response mechanism for optimized AVP performance
during load transient. The RT8888D supports mode
transition function with various operating states. A Serial
VID (SVID) interface is built in the RT8888D to
communicate with Intel VR12.5 compliant CPU. The
RT8888D 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
RT8888D varies with VID, load current and input voltage
to further enhance the efficiency even in CCM. Besides
the G-NAVPTM, the CCRCOT (Constant Current Ripple
Constant On Time) technology provides superior output
voltage ripple over the entire input/output range. The built-
in high accuracy DAC converts the SVID code ranging
from 0.5V to 3.04V with 10mV per step. The RT8888D
integrates a high accuracy ADC for platform setting
functions, such as no-load offset and over current
protection level. The RT8888D 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 RT8888Dis available in the WQFN-40L 5x5
small foot print package.
