High Efficiency, Main Power Supply Controller
for Notebook Computer
RT8205L/M
General Description
The RT8205L/M is a dual step-down, switch mode power
supply controller generating logic-supply voltages in
battery powered systems. It includes two Pulse-Width
Modulation (PWM) controllers adjustable from 2V to 5.5V,
and also features fixed 5V/3.3V linear regulators. Each
linear regulator provides up to 100mA output current with
automatic linear regulator bootstrapping to the PWM
outputs. An optional external charge pump can be
monitored through SECFB (RT8205M). The RT8205L/M
includes on-board power up sequencing, a power good
output, internal soft-start, and internal soft-discharge
output that prevents negative voltage during shutdown.
The constant on-time PWM control scheme operates
without sense resistors and provides 100ns response to
load transient response while maintaining nearly constant
switching frequency. To eliminate noise in audio
applications, an ultrasonic mode is included, which
maintains the switching frequency above 25kHz. Moreover,
the diode-emulation mode maximizes efficiency for light
load applications. The RT8205L/M is available in a
WQFN-24L 4x4 package.

current limit threshold is 1/10th the voltage seen at ENTRIP1 over a 0.515V to 3V
range. There is an internal 10μA current source from VREG5 to ENTRIP1. Leave
ENTRIP1 floating or drive it above 4.5V to shutdown channel 1.
SMPS1 Feedback Input. Connect FB1 to a resistive voltage divider from VOUT1
to GND to adjust output from 2V to 5.5V.
2V Reference Output. Bypass to GND with a minimum 0.22μF capacitor. REF
can source up to 100μA for external loads. Loading REF degrades FBx and
output accuracy according to the REF load regulation error.
Frequency Selectable Input for VOUT1/VOUT2 respectively.

SMPS2 Feedback Input. Connect FB2 to a resistive voltage divider from VOUT2
to GND to adjust output from 2V to 5.5V.
Channel 2 Enable and Current Limit Setting Input. Connect a resistor to GND to
set the threshold for channel 2 synchronous R
current limit threshold is 1/10th the voltage seen at ENTRIP2 over a 0.515V to 3V
range. There is an internal 10μA current source from VREG5 to ENTRIP2. Leave
ENTRIP2 floating or drive it above 4.5V to shutdown channel 1.
Bypass Pin for SMPS2. Connect to the SMPS2 output to bypass efficient power
for VREG3 pin. VOUT2 is also for the SMPS2 output soft-discharge.
Boost Flying Capacitor Connection for SMPS2. Connect to an external capacitor
according to the typical application circuits.
Upper Gate Driver Output for SMPS2. UGATE2 swings between PHASE2 and
BOOT2.
Switch Node for SMPS2. PHASE2 is the internal lower supply rail for the
UGATE2 high side gate driver. PHASE2 is also the current sense input for the
SMPS 2.
Lower Gate Drive Output for SMPS2. LGATE2 swings between GND and
VREG 5.
Master Enable Input. The REF/VREG5/VREG3 are enabled if it is within logic
high level and disabled if it is less than the logic low level.
