The RT9401A/B are digital to analog converters which
generate a reference
voltage for Intel VR10.x/AMD K8
5-bit VID code respectively. The parts are proposed to
pair with a series of RichTek’s general purpose PWM
controllers dedicated for the desktop microprocessor core
power voltage regulation. The reference voltage is within
1% high accuracy. These parts use a small footprint
package of SOT-23-8.

Note 1. Stresses listed as the above "Absolute Maximum Ratings" may cause permanent damage to the device. These are for
stress ratings. Functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational
sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may
remain possibility to affect device reliability.
Note 2. Devices are ESD sensitive. Handling precaution recommended.
Note 3. The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating conditions.
Note 4. θJA is measured in the natural convection at TA = 25°C on a low effective thermal conductivity test board of
