RT9245B
Multi-Phase PWM Controller for K8 CPU Core Power Supply
General Description
Features
l Multi-Phase Power Conversion with Automatic
Phase Selection
RT9245B is a multi-phase buck DC/DC controller
integrated with all control functions forAMD K8 CPU. The
RT9245B could be operated with 2, 3 or 4 buck switching
stages operating in interleaved phase set automatically.
The multiphase architecture provides high output current
while maintaining low power dissipation on power devices
and low stress on input and output capacitors. The high
equivalent operating frequency also reduces the
component dimension and the output voltage ripple in load
transient.
l 6-bit AMD K8 M2 DAC Output with Active Droop
Compensation for Fast Load Transient
l Smooth VCORE Transition at VID Jump
l Power Stage Thermal Balance by DCR Current
Sense
l Hiccup Mode Over-Current Protection
l Programmable Switching Frequency (50kHz to
400kHz per Phase), Under-Voltage Lockout and Soft-
Start
RT9245B implements both voltage and current loops to
achieve good regulation, response and power stage
thermal balance.
l High Ripple Frequency Times Channel Number
l 28-TSSOP Package
l RoHS Compliant and 100% Lead (Pb)-Free
RT9245B applies theDCR sensing technology newly. The
RT9245B extracts the ESR of output inductor as sense
component to deliver a precise load line regulation and
good thermal balance for next generation processor
application.
Applications
l AMD K8 Processors Voltage Regulator
l Low Output Voltage, High CurrentDC-DC Converters
l Voltage Regulator Modules
Current sense setting, droop tuning, VCORE initial offset
and over current protection are independent on
compensation circuit of voltage loop. The feature greatly
facilitates the flexibility of CPU power supply design and
tuning. The DAC output of RT9245B supports AMD K8
6-bit VID, precise offset value & smooth VCORE transient
at VID jump. The ICmonitors the VCORE voltage forPGOOD
and over-voltage protection. Soft-start, over-current
protection and programmable under-voltage lockout are
also provided to assure the safety of microprocessor and
power system. The RT9245B comes to a small footprint
packageTSSOP-28.
