RT9245C
Multi-Phase PWM Controller for CPU Core Power Supply
General Description
Features
z Multi-Phase Power Conversion with Automatic
RT9245C is a multi-phase buck DC/DC controller
integrated with all control functions for AMD K8 CPU or
Intel® GHz CPU which is VRD10.x-compliant. The
RT9245C 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.
Phase Selection
z 6-bits VRD10.x or 5-bit K8 DAC Output with Active
Droop Compensation for Fast Load Transient
z Smooth VCORE Transition at VID Jump
z Power Stage Thermal Balance by DCR Current
Sense
z Hiccup Mode Over-Current Protection
z Programmable Switching Frequency (50kHz to
400kHz per Phase), Under-Voltage Lockout and Soft-
Start
z High Ripple Frequency Times Channel Number
z 28-TSSOP Package
RT9245C implements both voltage and current loops to
achieve good regulation, response and power stage
thermal balance.
z RoHS Compliant and 100% Lead (Pb)-Free
RT9245C applies theDCR sensing technology newly. The
RT9245C extracts the DCR of output inductor as sense
component to deliver a precise load line regulation and
good thermal balance for next generation processor
application.
Applications
z Intel® Processors Voltage Regulator : VRD10.x andAMD
K8
z Low Output Voltage, High CurrentDC-DC Converters
z 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 RT9245C supports AMD K8
5-bit VIDand Intel® VRD10.x with 6-bit VIDinput, precise
offset value & smooth VCORE transient at VID jump. The
IC monitors the VCORE voltage for PGOODand 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 RT9245C comes to a small footprint package
TSSOP-28.

RT9245C
Application Information
RT9245C is a multi-phaseDC/DC controller that precisely
regulates CPU core voltage and balances the current of
different power channels. The converter consisting of
RT9245C and its companion MOSFET driver RT9619
provides high quality CPU power 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
reference voltage at non-inverting input of the error amplifier
as shown if Figure 1. Consequently, load line slope is
calculated as :
ΔVCORE 8 x RADJ x DCR
LoadLine =
=
ΔICORE
N x RCSN
Voltage Control
RT9245C 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 accuracy VIDDAC provides the reference voltage for
VRD10.x 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.

Fault Detection
The chip detects FB for over voltage and power good
detection. The “hiccup mode” operation 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
RT9245C senses the inductor current via inductor'sDCR
for channel current balance and droop tuning. 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.
Phase Setting and Converter Start Up
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 across DCR.
RT9245C 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
andDVDtrip). 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.

(see Figure 2).
Figure 5 shows the time sharing technique ofGM amplifier.
We apply test signal at phase 4 and observe the waveforms
at both pins of GM amplifier. The waveforms show time

Over Current Protection
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 ofGM for
current ratio requirement. Applying KVL along L+DCR

where ILX_50% is the of inductor current at 50% period. To
make sure RT9245C could sense the inductor current,
right hand side of Equation (1) should always be positive:
RT9245C 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,
voltage VX across the sensing capacitor would be negative.
It needs a negative IX to sense the voltage. However,
RT9245C CANNOT provide 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.

converters different VID codes from CPU into output

RT9245C
PGOOD Function
If the fault condition is OV, V(SS) and PGOODwill be pulled
low immediately also. RT9245C 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, RT9245C will detect 5VCC and 12VIN
(throughDVDpin). In Figure 21, 5VCC or 12VIN is not ready
during T1. V(SS) (in Figure 20) is pulled toGNDby 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 RT9245C, ISS (the maximal current sink and source
capability of OPSS) is limited and time-variant. During T2
(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.

After V(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.

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 signalGND.
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.
