RT9241A/B
Two-Phase DC/DC Controller for CPU Core Power Supply
General Description
The RT9241A/B is a two-phase buck DC/DC controller integrated with all control functions for high performance processor VRM. The RT9241A/B drives 2 buck switching stages operating in 180 degree phase shift. The two-phase 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. RT9241A/B regulates both easily set voltage and current loops. Precise current sharing for power stage is achieved by differential input current sense and processing circuit. The settings of current sense, droop tuning and over current protection are independent to compensation circuit of voltage loop. The feature greatly facilitates the flexibility of CPU power supply design and tuning. The RT9241A/B uses a 5-bit DAC of 1.1V to 1.85V (25mV/step) output with load current droop compensation to meet the strict VRM transient requirement. The IC monitors the VCORE voltage for PGOOD and 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.

RT9241A/B
Operation
RT9241A/B is a two-phase DC/DC controller that precisely regulates CPU core voltage and balances the current of different power channels. The converter consists of RT9241A/B and its companion MOSFET driver provide high quality CPU power and all protection function to meet the requirement of modern VRM. Voltage control The reference of VCORE is provided by a 5-bit DAC of VRM9.0 specification. Control loop consists of error amplifier, two-phase pulse width modulator, driver and power components. Like 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 VC of pulse width modulator. The PWM signals of different channels are generated by comparison of EA output and split-phase saw-tooth
