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.

RT9245B  
Application Information  
RT9245B is a multi-phaseDC/DC controller that precisely  
regulates CPU core voltage and balances the current of  
different power channels. The converter consisting of  
RT9245B and its companion MOSFET driver RT9619  
provides high quality CPUpower and all protection functions  
to meet the requirement of modern VRM.  
VADJ = 8 x IX x RADJ  
VADJ is then subtracted from VID_DAC output as the real  
referencevoltage atnon-invertinginput of the error amplifier  
as shown if Figure 1. Consequently, load line slope is  
calculated as :  
ΔVCORE 8 x RADJ xDCR  
LoadLine =  
=
ΔICORE  
N xRCSN  
Voltage Control  
RT9245B senses the CPU VCORE by SGND pin to sense  
the return of CPU to minimize the voltage drop on PCB  
trace at heavy load. OVP is sensed at FB pin. The internal  
high accuracyVIDDAC provides the reference voltage for  
K8 compliance. Control loop consists of error amplifier,  
multi-phase pulse width modulator, driver and power  
components. As conventional voltage mode PWM  
controller, the output voltage is locked at the VREF of  
error amplifier and the error signal is used as the control  
signal of pulse width modulator. The PWM signals of  
different channels are generated by comparison of EA  
output and split-phase sawtooth wave. Power stage  
transforms VIN to output by PWM signal on-time ratio.  
whereN is the phase number of operation.

Figure 1. Load Line and Offset Function  
Fault Detection  
The chip detects FB for over voltage and power good  
detection. The hiccup modeoperation of over current  
protection is adopted to reduce the short circuit current.  
The in-rush current at the start up is suppressed by the  
soft start circuit through clamping the pulse width and  
output voltage.  
Current Balance  
RT9245B senses the inductor current via inductor'sDCR  
forchannel currentbalance and drooptuning. The differential  
sensing GM amplifier converts the voltage on the sense  
component (can be a sense resistor or the DCR of the  
inductor) to current signal into internal balance circuit.  
The current balance circuit sums and averages the current  
signals and then produces the balancing signals injected  
to pulse width modulator. If the current of some power  
channel is larger than average, the balancing signal  
reduces that channels pulse width to keep current balance.  
The use of singleGM amplifier via time sharing technique  
to sense all inductor currents can reduce the offset errors  
and linearity variation between GMs. Thus it can greatly  
improve signal processing especially when dealing with  
such small signal as voltage drop acrossDCR.  
Phase Setting and Converter Start Up  
RT9245B interfaces with companion MOSFET drivers (like  
RT9619, RT9607 series) for correct converter initialization.  
The tri-state PWM output (high, low and high impedance)  
senses its interface voltage when IC POR acts (both VCC  
andDVD trip). The channel is enabled if the pin voltage is  
1.2V less than VCC. Tie the PWM to VCC and the  
corresponding current sense pins to GND or left float if  
the channel is unused. For example, for 3-Channel  
application, connect PWM4 high.  
Droop & Load Line Setting  
Current Sensing Setting  
RT9245B injects averaged current IX into the resistor RADJ  
connected to ADJ pin to generate a load-current-  
dependent voltage RADJ for droop setting:  
RT9245B senses the current flowing through inductor via  
itsDCR for channel current balance and droop tuning.

RT9245B  
The differential sensingGM amplifier converts the voltage  
on the sense component (can be a sense resistor or the  
DCR of the inductor) to current signal into internal circuit  
(see Figure 2).  
Figure 5 shows the time sharing technique ofGM amplifier.  
We apply test signal at phase 4 and observe the waveforms

For some case with preferable current ratio instead of  
current balance, the corresponding technique is provided.  
Due to different physical environment of each channel, it  
is necessary to slightly adjust current loading between  
channels. Figure 9 shows the application circuit of GM for  
current ratio requirement. Applying KVL along L+DCR

where ILX_50% is the of inductor current at 50% period. To  
make sure RT9245B could sense the inductor current,  
right hand side of Equation (1) should always be positive:  
RT9245B samples and holds inductor current at 50%  
period by time-sharing sourcing a current IX to RCSN. At  
light load condition when inductor current is not balance,  
voltageVX across the sensing capacitor would be negative.  
It needs a negative IX to sense the voltage. However,  
RT9245B CANNOTprovide a negative IX and consequently  
cannot sense negative inductor current. This results in  
dead zone of load line performance as shown in Figure  
14. Therefore a technique as shown in Figure 15 is required  
to eliminate the dead zone of load line at light load  
condition.

VID on the Fly  
Output Voltage Offset Function  
With external pull up resistors tied to VID pins, RT9245B  
converters different VID codes from CPU into output  
voltage. Figure 16 and Figure 17 show the waveforms of  
VID on the fly function.  
To meet AMD K8 requirement of initial offset of load line,  
RT9245B provides programmable initial offset function.

RT9245B  
PGOOD Function  
If the fault condition is OV, V(SS) and PGOOD will be pulled  
low immediately also. RT9245B will try to turn on low  
side MOSFET and turn off high side MOSFET. VOUT will  
fall quickly to protect CPU from high voltage. The typical  
waveform is shown in Figure 23.  
During start-up, RT9245B will detect 5VCC and 12VIN  
(throughDVD pin). In Figure 21, 5VCC or 12VIN is not ready  
during T1. V(SS) (in Figure 20) is pulled toGND by FAULT.  
V(EAP) is also equal to GND. V(FB) and VOUT will try to  
follow V(EAP) thus both V(FB) and VOUT are equal to GND  
during T1. During T2, both 5VCC and 12VIN are ready,  
FAULT = low, OPSS starts charging up CSS. In the design  
of RT9245B, ISS (the maximal current sink and source  
capability of OPSS) is limited and time-variant. DuringT2  
(V1 = 0.4V > V(SS) > 0), ISS(T2) is equal to about 10uA.

After V(SS) > V1, ISS changes to about 20uA. The rising  
speed of V(SS) becomes about 2 times faster than in T1.  
In Figure 20, MOSFETN1 will turn on only if V(SS) > VTH_N1  
(threshold voltage of N1) @ 0.7V = V2. Before N1 turns  
on, V(EAP) is still 0V.

AfterV(SS) > V2, MOSFETN1 turns on, V(EAP) starts rising.  
ISS(T4) is still equal to about 20uA. V(SS,EAP) is equal to  
VTH_N1. Due to the body effect of MOSFET N1, VTH_N1  
increases with higher V(EAP). For example, if VOUT target  
is 1.4V, V(SS,EAP) will be equal to about 0.7V at the  
beginning of T4 and equal to about 1.1V at the end of T4.

At the end of T4, VOUT is very close to the target (within  
the range of ±40mV). An internal 1ms timer starts. After  
about 1ms(T5), The open-drain output PGOOD releases.  
PGOOD  
After PGOOD releases, ISS(T6) becomes about 320uA to  
accelerate OPSS. RT9245B enters normal operation mode  
and is capable to follow VID on the fly.

When any of the fault conditions happens, V(SS) and  
PGOOD will be pulled lowimmediately. If thefault condition  
is one of 5VCC low, DVD low, OC or VID_OFF, RT9245B  
will try to turn off both high side MOSFET and low side  
MOSFET. VOUT will fall slowly to avoid negative VOUT. The  
typical waveform is shown in Figure 22.

Layout Guide  
Place the high-power switching components first, and separate them from sensitive nodes.  
1. Most critical path: the current sense circuit is the most sensitive part of the converter. The current sense  
resistors tied to CSP1,2,3,4 and CSN should be located not more than 0.5 inch from the IC and away from  
the noise switching nodes. The PCB trace of sense nodes should be parallel and as short as possible.  
2. Switching ripple current path:  
a. Input capacitor to high side MOSFET.  
b. Low side MOSFET to output capacitor.  
c. The return path of input and output capacitor.  
d. Separate the power and signal GND.  
e. The switching nodes (the connection node of high/low side MOSFET and inductor) is the most noisy points.  
Keep them away from sensitive small-signal node.  
f. Reduce parasitic R, L by minimum length, enough copper thickness and avoiding of via.  
3. MOSFET driver should be closed to MOSFET.  
4. The compensation, bypass and other function setting components should be near the IC and away from the noisy  
power path.
