Preliminary
RT9247
Multi-Phase PWM Controller for CPU Core Power Supply
General Description
Features
z Multi-Phase Power Conversion with Automatic
The RT9247 is a multi-phase buck DC/DC controller
integrated with all control functions for GHz CPU VRM.
The RT9247 controls 2 or 3 buck switching stages operating
in interleaved phase set automatically. The multi-phase
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.
Phase Selection
z VRD10 DAC Output with Active Droop Compensation
for Fast Load Transient
z Smooth VCORE Transition at VID Jump
z Power Stage Thermal Balance by RDS(ON) Current
Sense
z Hiccup Mode Over-Current Protection
z Programmable Switching Frequency (50kHz to
400kHz per Phase), Under-Voltage Lockout and
Soft-Start
RT9247 controls both voltage and current loops to achieve
good regulation, response & power stage thermal balance.
Precise current loop using RDS(ON) as sense component
builds precise load line for strict VRM DC & transient
specification and also ensures thermal balance of different
power stages. The settings of current sense, droop tuning,
VCORE initial offset and over current protection are
independent to compensation circuit of voltage loop. The
feature greatly facilitates the flexibility of CPU power supply
design and tuning.
z High Ripple Frequency Times Channel Number
z RoHS Compliant and 100% Lead (Pb)-Free
Applications
z Intel® Processors Voltage Regulator: VRD10
z Low Output Voltage, High CurrentDC-DC Converters
z Voltage Regulator Modules
Pin Configurations
The DAC output of RT9247 supports VRD10 by 6-bit VID
input, precise initial value & smooth VCORE transient at
VID jump. The IC monitors the VCORE voltage for PGOOD
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.
