Complete DDRII/DDRIII Memory Power Supply Controller
General Description
The RT8207 provides a complete power supply for both
DDRII/DDRIII memory systems. It integrates a
synchronous PWM buck controller with a 3A sink/source
tracking linear regulator and a buffered low noise reference.
The PWM controller provides the high efficiency, excellent
transient response, and high DC output accuracy needed
for stepping down high-voltage batteries to generate low
voltage chipset RAM supplies in notebook computers.
The constant-on-time PWM control scheme handles wide
input/output voltage ratios with ease and provides 100ns
“instant-on” response to load transients while maintaining
a relatively constant switching frequency.
The RT8207 achieves high efficiency at a reduced cost
by eliminating the current-sense resistor found in
traditional current-mode PWMs. Efficiency is further
enhanced by its ability to drive very large synchronous
rectifier MOSFETs. The buck conversion allows this device
to directly step down high-voltage batteries for the highest
possible efficiency.
The 3A sink/source LDO maintains fast transient response
only requiring 20μF of ceramic output capacitance. In
addition, the LDO supply input is available externally to
significantly reduce the total power losses. The RT8207
supports all of the sleep state controls placing VTT at
High-Z in S3 and discharging VDDQ, VTT and VTTREF
(soft-off) in S4/S5.
