High-Efficiency, Main Power Supply Controllers
for Notebook Computers
General Description
The RT8205A/B/C dual step-down, switch-mode powersupply controller generates logic-supply voltages in
battery-powered systems. The RT8205A/B/C includes two
pulse-width modulation (PWM) controllers fixed at 5V/
3.3V or adjustable from 2V to 5.5V . An alternative LGA TE1
output LG1_CP can be used for external charge pump
(RT8205B). And a n optional external charge pump ca n be
monitored through SECFB (RT8205C). This device also
features 2 linear regulators providing fixed 5V and 3.3V
outputs. The linear regulator each provides up to 70mA
output current with automatic linear-regulator bootstrapping
to the PWM outputs. The RT8205A/B/C includes on-board
power-up sequencing, the power-good output, internal softstart, and internal soft-discharge output that prevents
negative voltages on shutdown.
A consta nt on-time PWM control scheme operates without
sense resistor and provides 100ns response to load
transients while maintaining a relatively consta nt switching
frequency. The unique ultrasonic mode maintains the
switching frequency above 25kHz, which eliminates noise
in audio applications. Other features include diodeemulation mode (DEM), which maximizes efficiency in
light-load a pplications, a nd fixed-frequency PWM mode,
which reduces RF interference in sensitive a pplication

Application Information
The RT8205A/B/C is a dual, Mach ResponseTM DRV
dual ramp valley mode synchronous buck controller . The
controller is designed for low-voltage power supplies for
notebook computers. Richtek's Mach Response
technology is specifically designed for providing 100ns
“instant-on” response to load steps while maintaining a
relatively constant operating frequency and inductor
operating point over a wide range of input voltages. The
topology circumvents the poor load-transient timing
problems of fixed-frequency current-mode PWMs while
avoiding the problems caused by widely varying switching
frequencies in conventional constant-on-ti me and constantoff-time PWM schemes. The DRVTM mode PWM
modulator is specifically designed to have better noise
immunity for such a dual output a pplication. The RT8205A/
B/C includes 5V (VREG5) and 3.3V (VREG3) linear
regulators. VREG5 linear regulator can step down the
battery voltage to supply both internal circuitry and gate
drivers. The synchronous-switch gate drivers are directly
powered from VREG5. When VOUT1 voltage is above
4.66V, an automatic circuit will switch the power of the
device from VREG5 linear regulator from VOUT1.
PWM Operation
TM
The Mach ResponseTM DRV
mode controller relies on
the output filter capacitor's effective series resistance
(ESR) to act as a current-sense resistor, so the output
ripple voltage provides the PWM ra mp signal. Refer to the
RT8205A/B/C's function block diagra m, the synchronous
high-side MOSFET will be turned on at the beginning of
each cycle. After the internal one-shot timer expires, the
MOSFET will be turned off. The pulse width of this one
shot is determined by the converter's input voltage and
the output voltage to keep the frequency fairly constant
over the input voltage range. Another one-shot sets a
minimum off-time (300ns typ.). The on-time one-shot will
be triggered if the error comparator is high, the low-side
switch current is below the current-limit threshold, and
the minimum off-time one-shot has timed out.
PWM Frequency and On-Time Control
The Mach ResponseTM control architecture runs with
pseudo-constant frequency by feed-forwarding the in put

and output voltage into the on-time one-shot timer. The
high-side switch on-time is inversely proportional to the
input voltage as mea sured by the VIN, and proportional to
the output voltage. There are two benefits of a constant
switching frequency. The first is the frequency can be
selected to avoid noise-sensitive regions such as the
455kHz IF band. The second is the inductor ripple-current
operating point remains relatively constant, resulting in
ea sy design methodology and predictable output voltage
ripple. The frequency for 3V SMPS is set at 1.25 times
higher than the frequency for 5V SMPS. This is done to
prevent audio-frequency “beating” between the two sides,
which switch asynchronously for each side. The
frequencies are set by TONSEL pin connection a s Table1.
The on-time is given by :
On-Time = K x (V
where “K” is set by the TONSEL pin connection (Table
1). The on-time guara nteed in the Electrical Characteristics
tables are influenced by switching delays in the external
high-side power MOSFET. Two external factors that
influence switching-frequency accura cy are resistive drops
in the two conduction loops (including inductor and PC
board resistance) a nd the dead-time effect. These ef fects
are the largest contributors to the change of frequency
with changing load current. The dea d-time effect increa ses
the effective on-time, reducing the switching frequency
a s one or both de ad times. It occurs only in PWM mode
(SKIPSEL= GND) when the inductor current reverses at
light or negative load currents. With reversed inductor
current, the inductor's EMF causes PHASEx to go high
earlier than normal, extending the on-time by a period
equal to the low-to-high dead time. For loads above the
critical conduction point, the actual switching frequency

Operation Mode Selection (SKIPSEL)
The RT8205A/B/C supports three operation modes : DiodeEmulation Mode, Ultrasonic Mode, and Forced-CCM
Mode.
Diode-Emulation Mode (SKIPSEL = REF)
In Diode-Emulation mode, The RT8205A/B/C automatically
reduces switching frequency at light-load conditions to
maintain high efficiency. This reduction of frequency is
achieved smoothly a nd without increa se of V
load regulation. As the output current decreases from
heavy-load condition, the inductor current is also reduced,
and eventually comes to the point that its valley touches
zero current, which is the boundary between continuous
conduction and discontinuous conduction modes. By
emulating the behavior of diodes, the low-side MOSFET
allows only partial of negative current when the inductor
free-wheeling current reach negative. As the load current
is further decreased, it ta kes longer and longer to discharge
the output capacitor to the level that requires the next
“ON” cycle. The on-time is kept the same as that in the
heavy-load condition. In reverse, when the output current
increases from light load to heavy load, the switching
frequency increases to the preset value as the inductor
current reaches the continuous conduction. The tra nsition
load point to the light-load operation ca n be calculated as
follows (Figure 1) :

Figure 1. Boundary condition of CCM/DCM
The switching waveforms may appear noisy and
a synchronous when light loading causes Diode-Emulation
operation, but this is a normal operating condition that
results in high light-load efficiency . T rade-offs in PFM noise
vs. light-load efficiency are made by varying the inductor
value. Generally, low inductor values produce a broader
efficiency vs. load curve, while higher values result in higher
full-load efficiency (assuming that the coil resistance
remains fixed) and less output voltage ripple. Penalties
for using higher inductor values include larger physical
size and degraded load-tra nsient response (especi ally at
low input-voltage levels).
Ultrasonic Mode (SKIPSEL = V REG5 or VREG3)
Connecting SKIPSEL to VREG5 or VREG3 activates a
unique Diode-Emulation mode with a mini mum switching
frequency of 25kHz. This ultrasonic mode eliminates
audio-frequency modulation that would otherwise be
present when a lightly loaded controller automatically
skips pulses. In ultra sonic mode, the low-side switch gatedriver signal is OR with an internal oscillator (>25kHz).
Once the internal oscillator is triggered, the ultrasonic
controller pulls LGATEx high, turning on the low-side
MOSFET to induce a negative inductor current. After the
output voltage across the REF, the controller turns off the
low-side MOSFET (LGATEx pulled low) and triggers a
constant on-time (UGATEx driven high). When the ontime has expired, the controller re-enables the low-side
MOSFET until the controller detects that the inductor
current dropped below the zero-crossing threshold.
Forced-CCM Mode (SKIPSEL = GND)
The low-noise, forced-CCM mode (SKIPSEL = GND)
disables the zero-crossing comparator, which controls the
low-side switch on-time. This causes the low-side gatedriver waveform to become the complement of the high-
20
DS8205A/B/C-05 April 2011www.richtek.com
side gate-driver waveform. This in turn causes the inductor
current to reverse at light loads as the PWM loop to
maintain a duty ratio of V
OUT/VIN
. The benefit of forcedCCM mode is to keep the switching frequency fairly
constant, but it comes at a cost : The no-load battery
current can be 10mA to 40mA, depending on the external
MOSFETs.
Reference and linear Regulators (REF, VREGx)
The 2V reference (REF) is accurate within ±1% over
temperature, making REF useful as a precision system
reference. Bypass REF to GND with a 0.22uF (min)
cap a citor . REF ca n supply up to 50uA f or external loa ds.
Loading REF reduces the VOUTx output voltage slightly
because of the reference load-regulation error .
VREG5 regulator supplies total of 70mA f or intern al and
external loads, including MOSFET gate driver a nd PWM
controller. VREG3 regulator supplies up to 70mA for
external loads. Bypa ss VREG5 a nd V REG3 with a 4.7uF
(min) cap acitor; use a n additional 1uF per 5mA of internal
and external load.
When the 5V main output voltage is above the VREG5
switchover threshold, an internal 1.5Ω N-Channel MOSFET
switch connects VOUT1 to VREG5 while si multaneously
shutting down the VREG5 linear regulator . Similarly , when
the 3.3V main output voltage is above the VREG3
switchover threshold, an internal 1.5Ω N-Channel MOSFET
switch connects VOUT2 to VREG3 while si multaneously
shutting down the VREG3 linear regulator . It can decrea se
the power dissipation from the sa me battery , because the
converted efficiency of SMPS is better tha n the converted
efficiency of linear regulator .
Current-Limit Setting (ENTRIPx)
The RT8205A/B/C has cycle-by-cycle current limiting
control. The current-limit circuit employs a unique “valley”
current sensing algorithm. If the magnitude of the currentsense signal at PHASEx is above the current-limit
threshold, the PWM is not allowed to initiate a new cycle
(Figure 2). The actual peak current is greater than the
current-limit threshold by an a mount equal to the inductor
ripple current. Therefore, the exact current-limit
characteristic a nd maximum load ca pability are a function
of the sense resistance, inductor value, and battery and
output voltage.

Charge Pump (LG1_CP or SECFB)
The external 14V charge pump is driven by LGA TE1 (Figure
3 and Figure 4). When LGATE1 is low, the C1 will be
charged by D1 from VOUT1. C1 voltage is equal to V
minus a diode drop. When LGATE1 transitions to high,
the charges from C1 will transfer to C2 through D2 and
charge it to V
plus VC1. As LGA TE1 tra nsitions low

RT8205A/B/C
LG1_CP in the RT8205B (Figure 3) can be used a s clock
signal for charge pump circuit to generate a pproximately
14V DC voltage and the clock driver uses VOUT1 as its
power supply, SECFB in the R T8205C is used to monitor
the charge pump through resistive divider (Figure 4). In an
event when SECFB dropped below 2V , the detection circuit
forces the high-side MOSFET off and the low-side
MOSFET on for 300ns to allow CP to recharge a nd SECFB
rise above 2V. In the event of an overload on CP where
SECFB can not reach more than 2V, the monitor will be
cancelled. Special care should be ta ken to ensure enough
normal voltage ripple on ea ch cycle as to prevent CP shutdown.
The SECFB pin has ~17mV of hysteresis, so the ripple
should be enough to bring the SECFB voltage above the
threshold by ~3x the hysteresis, or (2V + 3 x 17mV) =
2.051V . Reducing the CP decoupling ca pacitor a nd placing
a small ceramic ca pa citor (10 pF to 47pF) (CF of Figure 4)
in parallel with the upper leg of the SECFB resistor
feedback network (R
of Figure 4) will also increase the
CP1
robustness of the charge pump.
The instanta neous drive current is supplied by the flying
cap acitor between BOOTx and PHASEx pin s. A dead time
to prevent shoot through is internally generated between
high-side MOSFET off to low-side MOSFET on, a nd lowside MOSFET off to high-side MOSFET on.
The low-side driver is designed to drive high current low
R
N-Channel MOSFET(s). The internal pull-down
DS(ON)
transistor that drives LGATEx low is robust, with a 0.6Ω
typical on-resistance. A 5V bi a s voltage is delivered from
VREG5 supply . The instanta neous drive current is supplied
by an input capacitor connected between VREG5 and
GND.
For high-current application s, some combinations of highand low-side MOSFETs might be encountered that will
cause excessive gate-drain coupling, which can lead to
efficiency-killing, EMI-producing shoot-through currents.
This is often remedied by adding a resistor in series with
BOOTx, which increa ses the turn-on time of the high-side
MOSFET without degrading the turn-off time (Figure 5).

Soft-Start
A build-in soft-start is used to prevent surge current from
power supply input after ENTRIPx is enabled. The typical
soft-start duration is 2ms period. Furthermore, the
maximum allowed current limit is segmented in 5 steps:
20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100% during the 2ms period.
UVLO Protection
The RT8205A/B/C has VREG5 under voltage lock out
protection (UVLO). When the VREG5 voltage is lower tha n
4.2V (typ.) and the VREG3 voltage is lower than 2.5V
(typ.), both switch power supplies are also shut off. This
is non-latch protection.

RT8205A/B/C
Power-Good Output (PGOOD)
The PGOOD is a n open-drain type output and requires a
pull-up resistor. PGOOD is a ctively held low in soft-start,
standby , a nd shutdown. It is released when both outputs
voltage above than 92.5% of nominal regulation point. The
PGOOD goes low if either output turns off or is 10% below
its nominal regulator point.
Output Over Voltage Protection (OVP)
The output voltage can be continuously monitored for over
voltage. When over voltage protection is enabled, if the
output voltage exceeded 1 1% of its set voltage threshold,
the over voltage protection is triggered and the LGATEx
low-side gate drivers are forced high. This activates the
low-side MOSFET switch, which rapidly discharges the
output cap acitor a nd pulls the input voltage downward.
RT8205A/B/C is latched once OVP is triggered a nd can
only be released by EN power-on reset. There is 10us
delay built into the over voltage protection circuit to prevent
false transition.
Note that LGA TEx latching high causes the output voltage
to dip slightly negative when energy ha s been previously
stored in the LC tank circuit. For loads that ca nnot tolerate
a negative voltage, place a power Schottky diode a cross
the output to act as a reverse polarity clamp.
If the over voltage condition is caused by a short in highside switch, turning the low-side MOSFET on 100%
creates an electrical short between the battery a nd GND,
blowing the fuse and disconnecting the battery from the
output.
Output Under voltage Protection (UVP)
The output voltage can be continuously monitored for under
voltage. When under voltage protection is enabled, if the
output is less than 70% of its set voltage threshold, under
voltage protection is triggered, then both UGATEx and
LGATEx gate drivers are forced low while entering softdischarge mode. During soft-start, the UVP will be bla nked
around 3ms.
Thermal Protection
The RT8205A/B/C have thermal shutdown to prevent the
overheat da mage. Thermal shutdown occurs when the die
temperature exceeds +150°C. All internal circuitry shuts
down during thermal shutdown. The RT8205A/B/C triggers
DS8205A/B/C-05 April 2011www.richtek.com
thermal shutdown if VREGx is not supplied from VOUTx,
while input voltage on VIN and drawing current form VREGx
are too high. Even if VREGx is supplied from VOUTx,
overloading the VREGx causes large power dissipation
on automatic switches, which may result in thermal
shutdown.
Discharge Mode (Soft-Discharge)
When ENTRIPx is low and a transition to standby or
shutdown mode occurs, or the output under voltage fault
latch is set, the outputs discharge mode will be triggered.
During discharge mode, there is one path to discharge
the outputs capacitor residual charge. That is output
cap acitor discharge to GND through a n internal switch.
Shutdown Mode
The RT8205A/B/C SMPS1, SMPS2, VREG3 a nd VREG5
have independent enabling control. Drive EN, ENTRIP1
and ENTRIP2 below the precise input falling-edge tri p level
to place the RT8205A/B/C in its low-power shutdown
state. The RT8205A/B/C consumes only 20uA of input
current while in shutdown.
Power-Up Sequencing and On/Off Controls
(ENTRIPx)
ENTRIP1 and ENTRIP2 control SMPS power-up
sequencing. When the RT8205A/B/C a pplies in the single
channel mode, ENTRIP1 or ENTRIP2 enables the
respective outputs when ENTRIPx voltage rising above
0.4V.
If both of ENTRIP1 and ENTRIP2 become higher tha n the
enable threshold voltage at a different time (without 60us),
one can force the latter one output starts after the f ormer
one regulates.
Output Voltage Setting (FBx)
Connect FBx directly to GND or VREG5 to enable the
fixed, SMPS output voltages (3.3V and 5V). Connect a
resistor voltage-divider at the FBx between the VOUTx
and GND to adjust the respective output voltage between
2V and 5.5V (Figure 6). Choose R2 to be approximately
10kΩ, and solve for R1 using the equation :

VREG5 connects to VOUT1 through an internal switch

automatic switch threshold (3.06V). This is the most
effective way when the fixed output voltages are used.
Once VREGx is supplied from VOUTx, the internal linear

Output Capacitor Selection
The output filter ca pacitor must have low enough ESR to
meet output ripple and load-transient requirements, yet
have high enough ESR to satisfy stability requirements.
Also, the capacitance value must be high enough to
absorb the inductor energy going from a full-load to noload condition without tripping the OVP circuit.
For CPU core voltage converters and other applications
where the output is subject to violent load tran sients, the

Do not put high-value ceramic capacitors directly across
the outputs without taking precautions to ensure sta bility.
Large ceramic capacitors can have a high- ESR zero
frequency and cause erratic, unstable operation. However ,
it is ea sy to add enough serie s resista nce by placing the
capacitors a couple of inches downstream from the
inductor and connecting VOUTx or the FBx divider close
to the inductor.
Unstable operation manifests itself in two related and
distinctly different ways: double-pulsing and feedba ck loop
instability.
Double-pulsing occurs due to noise on the output or
because the ESR is so low that there is not enough voltage
ramp in the output voltage signal. This “fools” the error
comparator into triggering a new cycle immediately after
the 300ns minimum off-time period has expired. Doublepulsing is more annoying tha n harmful, resulting in nothing
worse than increased output ripple. However, it may
indicate the possible presence of loop instability, which
is caused by insufficient ESR.
Loop instability can result in oscillations at the output
after line or load perturbations that can tri p the overvoltage
protection latch or cause the output voltage to fall below
the tolerance limit.
The easiest method for checking stability is to apply a
very fast zero-to-max loa d transient a nd carefully observe
the output-voltage-ripple envelope for overshoot a nd ringing.
It helps to simultaneously monitor the inductor current
with an AC current probe. Do not allow more than one

` Place the filter capacitor close to the IC, within 12 mm (0.5 inch) if possible.
` Keep current limit setting network a s close a s possible to the IC. Routing of the network should avoid coupling to high-
voltage switching node.
` Connections from the drivers to the respective gate of the high-side or the low-side MOSFET should be a s short as
possible to reduce stray inductance. Use 0.65-mm (25 mils) or wider tra ce.
` All sensitive analog tra ces and components such a s VOUTx, FBx, GND, ENTRIPx, PGOOD, a nd TONSEL should be
placed away from high-voltage switching nodes such as PHASEx, LGATEx, UGATEx, or BOOTx nodes to avoid
coupling. Use internal layer(s) a s ground plane(s) a nd shield the feedback tra ce from power tra ces and components.
` Gather ground terminal of VIN capa citor(s), VOUTx ca pacitor(s), a nd source of low-side MOSFET s a s close a s possible.
PCB trace defined a s PHASEx node, which connects to source of high-side MOSFET, drain of low-side MOSFET and
high-voltage side of the inductor, should be as short and wide a s possible.
