controller, the rail B. The RTQ8825 adopts G-NAVP
⚫ Each Output Voltage Ranges 0.25V to 1.516V
⚫ Embedded LDO for Dr.MOS 3.3V PWM Level
⚫ Pin Programmable 27 VBOOT Voltages
⚫ Current Sensing by Either Current Type or Voltage
Type SPS
(Green Native AVP) which is Richtek’s proprietary
topology derived from finite DC gain of EA amplifier with
current mode control, making it easy to set the droop to
support all CPU/Microprocessor requirements of AVP
(Adaptive Voltage Positioning). Based on the G-
TM
⚫ Digital Current Balancing With Programmable Gain

NAVP
topology, the RTQ8825 features a new
generation of quick response mechanism (Adaptive
Quick Response, AQR) to optimize AVP performance
during load transient and reduce output capacitors. The
RTQ8825 supports VID on-the-fly function with four
different slew rates via PMBus command setting. The
DAC converts the VOUT_COMMAND code ranging
from 0.25V to 1.516V with 1.953mV per step. The
RTQ8825 integrates a high accuracy ADC for platform
and function settings, such as SPS type, PMBus
address, boot voltage and load-line. The RTQ8825
provides reset Vout function, Vout to be set to the
VBOOT value while RESET# pin is asserted low. The
RTQ8825 provides VR_Ready and thermal indicators.
It also features complete fault protection functions
including over-voltage (OV), under-voltage (UV), slow
over-current (SLOW_OC), fast over-current (Fast_OC),
over-temperature (OT) and under-voltage lockout
(UVLO). The RTQ8825 more supports several
functions which can be set by I2C/PMBus interface.
⚫ Differential Output Voltage Sense for High
Output Accuracy
⚫ Supports Start-Up Into Pre-Bias Voltage
⚫ Pin Selection for Enabling Load-Line Function
⚫ Supports Returning to VBOOT from Existing
Voltage or from 0V
⚫ PMBus v1.3 Compliant Serial Interface
Pin Selectable 16 Addresses
1.8V and 3.3V Logic Level Compliant
