LM27212
Two-Phase Current-Mode Hysteretic Buck Controller
General Description
The LM27212 is a two-phase synchronous buck regulator
controller that is designed to support high-current loads such
as microprocessors.
The IC employs a two-phase current-mode hysteretic control
mechanism. During normal operation, the two switching
channels operate 180˚ out of phase, helping reduce the
number of input capacitors.
Inductor currents are sensed through low value sense resistors. Current sharing between the two channels is automatically guaranteed by multiplexing the feedback comparator.
The regulator input voltage range supported by the LM27212
is 5V to 30V. The output voltage is programmed through six
voltage identification pins and ranges from 0.700V to 1.708V
in 64 steps.
The IC provides accurate load-line characteristic. The regulator can be programmed to lower its output voltage linearly
with increasing load current, so that the power generated by
the load can be significantly reduced.
Since the error in the output voltage directly sets the inductor
currents, the dynamic response to a large and fast load
transient is close to a square wave. This is optimal for
meeting CPU supply voltage specifications.
Due to the intrinsic input voltage feed forward characteristic
of a peak current-mode controller, the IC has a superior line
transient response.
The IC provides a cycle-by-cycle peak current limit, overvoltage protection, and a power good signal.
The LM27212 fully supports the Stop CPU mode and Sleep
mode required by some mobile CPUs. In the Sleep mode,
the IC enters single-phase power-saving operation which
significantly enhances the light load efficiency.
The LM27212 also has a soft start pin for the external
adjustment of soft start speed.
The LM27212 combined with the LM27222 series of MOSFET drivers, provides a layout-friendly, thermally optimized
and noise-immune power solution for the mobile platform.

Note 1: Absolute maximum ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings are conditions under which operation of the
device is guaranteed. For guaranteed performance limits and associated test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics table. Functional temperature range is the
range within which the device performs its intended functions, but not necessarily meeting the limits specified in the Electrical Characteristic table.
Note 2: The maximum allowable power dissipation is calculated by using PDmax = (TJMAX - TA) /θJA , where TJMAX is the maximum junction temperature, TA is the
ambient temperature, and θJA is the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of the specified package. The 1.56W rating results from using 150˚C, 25˚C, and 80˚C/W
for TJMAX, TA, and θJA respectively. The θJA of 90˚C/W represents the worst-case condition with no heat sinking of the 48-Pin TSSOP. Heat sinking allows the safe
dissipation of more power. The Absolute Maximum power dissipation should be de-rated by 12.5mW per ˚C above 25˚C ambient. The LM27212 actively limits its
junction temperature to about 150˚C.

Operation Description
20152006
FIGURE 1. Two-Phase Current-Mode Hysteretic Operation
GENERAL
The LM27212 is a 2-phase current-mode hysteretic buck
regulator controller that meets modern mobile CPU power
requirements.
The LM27212 operates from a 5V supply and generates two
logic signals that can be used to control external MOSFET
drivers. The IC also has two pins (SYNC1 & SYNC2) that
can be used to instruct the external MOSFET drivers to run
synchronous or asynchronous, a feature to enable power
saving operation in Stop CPU or Sleep mode.
since it is switching at infinite frequency, the V- voltage is
always equal to V+ voltage. Since the hysteresis current, ih
is zero, V- is always equal to X1. Therefore the voltage
across RS1 is always equal to that across RR2. In other
words, inductor current in each channel is proportional to the
voltage across RR2. So whenever there is a change in
VCORE, there will be a corresponding but smaller change in
RR2 voltage, which causes a finite change in the inductor
currents. That is how load line programming is achieved.
In reality, the switching frequency is typically a few hundred
kilohertz. The inductor currents therefore has a finite amount
of ripple. The LM27212 sets the inductor ripple current by
alternately forcing a hysteresis current (ih) through RH1 and
RH2. The hysteresis current ih causes a hysteresis voltage
across RH1 and RH2. When CMP1 gets connected to Vnode of the error comparator via the internal mux, ih is
turned on and flows through the RH1 resistor, establishing a
hysteresis voltage across it. The error comparator trips when
V- exceeds V+, at which moment X1 exceeds V+ by the
hysteresis voltage. In other words, roughly half of the ripple
voltage developed across RS1 is equal to the hysteresis
voltage across RH1. After the error comparator trips, the top
switch of Channel 1 is turned off, ih is turned off and L1’s
current starts to decrease. When L1’s current droops to a
CONTROL LOOP
Refer to Figure 1. The core of the control circuit is the error
comparator, which turns off the top switch of a channel when
that channel’s peak inductor current exceeds the current
command. The comparator turns on the top switch of the
other channel when the previous channel’s inductor current
has dropped from its peak value by the preset hysteresis. By
doing this the two channels are turned on and off alternately
with a theoretical phase shift of 180 degrees.
To understand how the current mode works in this topology,
let us assume the hysteresis current (ih) is zero, and the
regulator can switch at infinite frequency. For channel 1,

Operation Description
DIODE EMULATION MODE
(Continued)
In such a mode, the zero-cross detector senses the Vds of
the Channel 1 bottom FET while OUT1 is low. If the sensed
Vds is negative, the bottom FET will remain on. If the sensed
Vds starts to go positive, the bottom FET will be turend off so
that inductor current cannot go negative. This action prevents energy from cycling back from output capacitors to the
power source. This mode enjoys better efficiency than the
pure asynchronous mode because before the inductor current goes to zero it flows through FET instead of a diode. By
implementing such a mode, the switching frequency can
drop significantly at light loads. As a result, both the switching loss and MOSFET gate charge loss can be significantly
reduced.
point where X1 (which is now the same as V- because ih is
zero) is equal to V+, Channel 2’s top switch gets turned on
and ih starts to flow through RH2.
In reality, the steady-state voltage across RR2 is not pure
DC. That complicates the precise calculation of the operating
point. See Design Considerations.
SOFT-START
By charging up the capacitor connected between the SS pin
and ground with a 20µA current, the VREF pin voltage
gradually and linearly increases. That causes the inductor
current to build up, and hence the output voltage will follow
VREF. The required capacitance at the SS pin is simply
20µA divided by the desired output voltage slew rate. For
example, if output voltage needs to go to 1V within 2ms, then
the capacitance required would be about 40nF.
STOP CPU MODE
During normal operation, if the STP_CPU# pin is asserted
and the SLP pin is not asserted, the VREF pin voltage will
transition to the voltage at the VSTP pin. The speed of the
transition depends on the soft start capacitor. The current
that charges or discharges the soft start capacitor during
such a transition is 350µA typical. The slew rate of the mode
change is simply 350µA divided by SS pin capacitance. For
example, if the soft start capacitor is 22nF, then the output
voltage slew rate is 16mV/µs. Whenever the LM27212 is
entering or exiting the Stop CPU mode, PGOOD is masked
for about 130µs.
SOFT SHUTDOWN
The LM27212 goes through a soft shutdown process upon
receiving a de-asserted VRON signal. A constant 40µA current discharges the soft start capacitor and linearly brings
down the VREF voltage. The output voltage will follow VREF
until VREF is 0.2V, after which the bottom FET is kept on and
the top FET is kept off, causing the output voltage to quickly
drop to zero.
Soft shutdown serves two purposes. One is to prevent a
severe negative output voltage while discharging the output
capacitors during shutdown. The other is so that output
voltage ramps down in a well controlled manner and the
difference between various voltage rails supplying the processor can be controlled.
SLEEP MODE
The LM27212 will enter the Sleep mode only when both
STP_CPU# and SLP are asserted. Upon assertion of the
Sleep mode, the VREF pin voltage will transition to the
voltage at the VSLP pin. The speed of the transition depends
on the soft start capacitor. The current that charges or discharges the soft start capacitor during such a transition is
350µA typical. The slew rate of the mode change is simply
350µA divided by SS pin capacitance. For example, if the
soft start capacitor is 22nF, then the output voltage slew rate
is 16mV/µs. Whenever the LM27212 is entering or exiting
the Sleep mode, PGOOD is masked for about 130µs.
OVER-VOLTAGE PROTECTION
The over-voltage protection trigger level can be set by tying
the VOVP pin to a constant voltage. When the output voltage
exceeds the VOVP pin voltage by 25%, the IC will turn off the
top FET and turn on the bottom FET. The soft start capacitor
will be discharged by the soft shutdown current.
After the VDD pin voltage or VRON is toggled, the IC will go
through a normal soft start.
MODE CHANGE
A mode change is a change in the VREF voltage caused by
entering or existing Stop CPU mode or Sleep mode. During
mode change or a Dynamic VID event, the soft start capacitor is charged or discharged with a 350µA current.
POWER GOOD FLAG
After the EXT PWRGD signal is asserted at the XPOK pin,
the LM27212 will wait 6ms and then release PGOOD if the
core voltage is within ± 12% of the initial VREF target voltage
(VBOOT voltage).
During a Dynamic VID or a mode transition, the PGOOD is
masked for about 130µs and asserted high.
Upon de-assertion of VRON, PGOOD is pulled low within
90ns.
POWER SAVING MODE
When both the DE_EN# and STP_CPU# pins are asserted
and SLP is not toggling, the LM27212 will enter the Power
Saving mode. In such a mode, Channel 1 will operate in
Diode Emulator mode. Channel 2’s status depends on SLP.
If SLP is also asserted, Channel 2 will be turned off (both
OUT2 and SYNC2 will remain low, i.e. all Channel 2 FETs
will be off), and Vcore will go to the VSLP voltage. If SLP is
not asserted, Channel 2 will operate in pure asynchronous
mode in which the bottom FET will not be turned on, and
Vcore will be VID value minus the Stop CPU offset.
If SLP goes from low to high during Power Saving mode, the
LM27212 enforces two-channel synchronous mode for
about 130µs to guarantee Vcore can be pulled down within
the specified time. Refer to the Modes During Normal Operation table.
DYNAMIC VID TRANSITIONS
Upon detecting a DAC code change, the LM27212 will blank
the Power Good for about 130µs, during which time the
VREF voltage gradually transitions to the new DAC voltage.
The speed of the transition depends on the soft start capacitor. The current that charges or discharges the soft start
capacitor during such a transition is 350µA typical. The slew
rate of the Dynamic VID change is simply 350µA divided by
SS pin capacitance. For example, if the soft start capacitor is
22nF, then the Dynamic VID slew rate is 16mV/µs.

GENERAL
Due to the large and ultra-fast load transient behavior in
modern digital devices, it is typically easier to start the design process with the output capacitors.
CURRENT SHARING
Current sharing is guaranteed by actively sensing the inductor current in each channel and comparing the peak of each
sensed current with the same reference. In a current mode
hysteretic controller such as the LM27212, current sharing is
intrinsic. However, due to the low resistance value of the
sense resistors (as low as 1mΩ), care should be exercised
to make sure that the layout of the sense resistors is symmetrical, especially how the sense lines are connected to the
sense resistors.
SWITCHING FREQUENCY RANGE
In a current-mode hysteretic controller such as the
LM27212, switching frequency can be rather complicated to
calculate. If we assume that the ESR zero frequency is much
lower than the typical switching frequency (typically true for
non-MLCs), the switching frequency can be determined from
the following equation (refer to Figure 1):
CURRENT LIMITING
An adjustable current limit is built in. An internal current
flowing from the ILIMREF pin to the output through a resistor
establishes a voltage which is compared with the voltage
across the sense resistors to determine whether the sense
resistors are conducting too much current.
When the peak inductor current in Channel 1 exceeds the
preset limit, the OUT1 pin will go low, causing the inductor
current to drop. When the inductor current drops by an
amount that corresponds to the hysteresis of the current
limit, the OUT2 pin will be allowed to go high. If the inductor
current of Channel 2 also hits current limit, then OUT2 pin
will go low and so Channel 2 current will fall. When Channel
2 current falls by an amount that corresponds to current limit
hysteresis, the OUT1 pin is allowed to go high again.
In the case of a persistent over current, the output voltage
will continue to droop until the load current is equal to the
current limit value. If the output voltage droops too much
(12% below nominal), PGOOD will be de-asserted and the
system may use that to de-assert VRON and thus shut down
the regulator.

Design Considerations
The calculated minimum output capacitance is Cmin =
1026µF.
Example 2: L = 0.2µH, ∆Ic_s = 20A, Re = 0.125mΩ, Vout =
1.00V, r = -3mΩ, δ = 10mV, Vrip = 12mV
The calculated ∆Vc_s = 64mV
(Continued)
Vout = Vref + Iout x r
In the equations, τ is the delay from error comparator trip
point to the instant external power FETs start to switch. For
the LM27212 and LM27222, that value is found to be 150ns
typical.
To determine the maximum switching frequency, first use the
following equation to find the Vin value where the frequency
peaks (notice that maximum switching frequency happens at
maximum Vout value.):
The calculated minimum output capacitance is Cmin = 313µF.
The above calculations are based on the assumption that
when the worst-case unloading transient happens, the top
FETs of the two channels immediately turn off. If that is not
always the case, more capacitance is needed and a bench
test is probably necessary to determine how much more is
needed.
OUTPUT INDUCTOR SELECTION
Large output inductor values will need large output capacitor
values, whereas smaller inductance will cause larger output
ripple voltage. To meet the budget for output ripple voltage,
we need to find out what the ripple current in the inductors is.
We know the peak-to-peak inductor current is:
Then calculate the frequency using Vin_fmax for Vin, and
Vout_max for Vout.
Example: RR1 = RR2, Re = 3mΩ, L = 0.6µH, maximum Vout
= 1.356V, maximum Vin = 8.4V, minimum Vout = 0.84V, RS1
= 3mΩ, Rds1 = 10mΩ, Rds2 = 4mΩ, Iout = 0A, r = -3mΩ, ih
= 100µA, RH1 = 40Ω.
So Vin_fmax = 6.83V and maximum switching frequency is
fmax = 350kHz
Lowest switching frequency happens at minimum Vout and
maximum Vin.
So for the above example, fmin = 250kHz.
By plotting switching frequency curves, it is found that the
largest ripple current happens at the highest Vin and Vout.
Example: RR1 = RR2, Re = 3mΩ, L = 0.6µH, maximum Vout
= 1.356V, maximum Vin = 15V, RS1 = 3mΩ, Rds1 = 10mΩ,
Rds2 = 4mΩ, Iout = 0A, r = -3mΩ, ih = 100µA, RH1 = 40Ω.
The calculated frequency is f = 266kHz, and D = 0.09
So the peak-to-peak inductor current is ∆i = 7.73A
Therefore the output peak-to-peak ripple voltage is 23.2mV.
OUTPUT CAPACITORS
Output capacitors are critical in controlling the output voltage
excursion when a load transient first happens. The initial
voltage excursion consists of two portions, that caused by
the output capacitor ESR, and that caused by the total
capacitance. When the ESR value is close to the load line
slope value, the initial voltage excursion will be dominated by
the ESR. Otherwise, it will be mainly caused by loss of
charge in the capacitors. For a load transient tutorial, please
refer to the Output Capacitor Selection section in the
LM2633 datasheet.
It is apparent that the ESR should not exceed the load line
slope |r|, or the load device’s specification will immediately
be violated. In addition, the output capacitance should be
greater than a minimum value which is required by the
worst-case unloading transient.
MOSFET SELECTION
Bottom FET Selection
During normal operation, the bottom FET is turned on and off
at almost zero voltage. So only conduction loss is present in
the bottom FET. The bottom FET power loss peaks at the
maximum input voltage and load current. The most important
parameter when choosing the bottom FET is the onresistance. The lower the on-resistance, the less the power
loss. The equation for the maximum allowed on-resistance at
room temperature for a given FET package, is:
where
where Tj_max is the maximum allowed junction temperature
in the FET, Ta_max is the maximum ambient temperature,
Rθja is the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of the FET,
and TC is the temperature coefficient of the on-resistance
which is typically 4000ppm/˚C.
If the calculated on-resistance is smaller than the lowest
value available, multiple FETs can be used in parallel. If the
design criterion is to use the highest Rds FET, then the
Rds2_max of a single FET can be increased due to reduced
current. In the case of two FETs in parallel, multiply the
Example 1: L = 0.6µH, ∆Ic_s = 20A, Re = 3mΩ, Vout = 1.356V,
r = -3mΩ, δ = 10mV, Vrip = 12mV.
The calculated ∆Vc_s = 64mV
www.national.com
14
Since the switching loss usually increases with bigger FETs,
choosing a top FET with a much smaller on-resistance
sometimes may not yield a noticeably lower temperature rise
and better efficiency.
(Continued)
calculated on-resistance by 4 to obtain the on-resistance for
each FET. In the case of more FETs, that number is the
square of the number of FETs. Since efficiency is very important in most cases, having the lowest on-resistance is
usually more important than fully utilizing the thermal capacity of the package. So it is probably better to find the lowest
Rds FET first, and then determine how many are needed.
Example: Tj_max = 100˚C, Ta_max = 60˚C, Rθja = 60˚C/W,
Vin_max = 15V, Vout = 1.356V, and Iout_max = 30A.
INPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION
The fact that the two switching channels of the LM27212 are
180˚ out of phase will help reduce the RMS value of the
ripple current seen by the input capacitors. That will help
extend input capacitor life span and result in a more efficient
system. In most application, the output voltage is rather low
compared to the input voltage. The corresponding duty
cycles are therefore less than 50%, which means there will
be no overlapping between the two channels’ input current
pulses. The equation for calculating the maximum total input
ripple RMS current is therefore:
Example: Iout_max = 30A, Vin = 8.1V to 15V, Vout = 1.356V
The closer D is to 0.25, the larger the result. So the D value
that should be used in this example should be D = 1.356 /
8.1V = 0.167.
If four bottom FETs are to be used (2 per channel), the
maximum on-resistance can be as high as 0.63mΩ x 16 =
10mΩ. Generally it will be better to use lower on-resistance
FETs.
Top FET Selection
The top FET has two types of losses – switching losses and
the conduction losses. The switching loss mainly consists of
the crossover loss and the bottom diode reverse recovery
loss. It is rather difficult to estimate the switching losses. A
general starting point is to allot 60% of the top FET thermal
capacity to switching loss. The best way to find out is still to
test it on the bench. The equation for calculating the onresistance of the top FET is thus:
If we use 10µF ceramic capacitors at the input and each can
handle 1.5A of RMS ripple current, then we need 5 or 6 of
these capacitors.
SOFT-START CAPACITOR
The capacitor connected between the SS pin and ground
serves several purposes. Namely, soft start slew rate, soft
shutdown slew rate, and Dynamic VID and Mode Change
slew rates.
During soft-start, the current charging the SS capacitor is
20µA typical.
During soft shutdown, the current discharging the SS capacitor is 40µA typical.
During Dynamic VID and Mode Change, the current charging or discharging the SS capacitor is 350µA typical.
Usually the Dynamic VID and Mode Change slew rate is
more critical than soft-start and soft shutdown slew rates. So
when selecting SS capacitor value, priority should be assigned accordingly.
The equation used to determine the SS capacitor value is:
where Tj_max is the maximum allowed junction temperature
in the FET, Ta_max is the maximum ambient temperature,
Rθja is the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of the FET,
and TC is the temperature coefficient of the on-resistance
which is typically 4000ppm/˚C.
Example: Tj_max = 100˚C, Ta_max = 60˚C, Rθja = 60˚C/W,
Vin_min = 8.1V, Vout = 1.356V, and Iout_max = 30A.
where ISS is the current through the SS pin, and dv/dt is the
slew rate required.
The equation used to determine the transition time for a
given slew rate and SS capacitance is:
If four top FETs are to be used (2 per channel), the maximum
on-resistance can be as high as 1.35mΩ x 16 = 21.6mΩ.
where ∆V is the voltage difference between the initial value
and the end-of-transition value.

Example: soft start time is preferred to be 1ms to 3ms, initial
Vcore is 1.37V, and Dynamic VID / Mode Change slew rate
is preferred to be no less than 5mV/µs.
So,
Double-checking the soft start time:
To make sure during Sleep entry PGOOD doesn’t go low, SS
voltage must hit the PGOOD window of the target voltage
before the PGOOD mask timer expires (around 130 µs). The
following equation can be used to establish the approximate
value of the largest SS capacitor.
SETTING STOP CPU VOLTAGE VSTP
Refer to Typical Application circuit.
The Stop CPU voltage VSTP is a certain percentage lower
than the DAC output voltage. The equation used to determine the R7 resistor values is:
where ∆0 is the difference between VSLP (typically around
0.74V) and the SS-pin voltage immediately before the Sleep
entry, and t is the time it tkaes to reach the VSLP voltage. A
and B are coefficients that depend on temperature.

where δ is the percentage VSTP is lower than VDAC.
Example: δ = -2.69%.
If we choose R8 = 100kΩ, then
It is found that the SS-pin sink current is the lowest at 110˚C
over the temperature range of -5˚C to 110˚C.
SETTING VOVP, VBOOT, VSLP AND IH
Refer to the Typical Application circuit.
The hysteresis current ih used in the previous equations is
equal to the current sourced by the V1R7 pin. So calculation
of the R2, R3, R5 and R6 values is straightforward.
Example: hysteresis current ih = 100µA, Sleep voltage VSLP
= 0.748V, initial start up voltage VBOOT = 1.37V, OVP
threshold VOVP = 1.7V.
Choosing too small an R8 will result in too much current
draw from the VDD pin, hurting system efficiency. Too large
an R8 value may result in noise issues.
SETTING THE HYSTERESIS
Refer to Figure 1. The hysteresis voltages across RH1 and
RH2 contribute to switching frequency characteristics, inductor ripple current, noise immunity and line regulation. Typically the higher the hysteresis, the lower the switching frequency and the tighter the frequency range. Also the higher
the hysteresis, the higher the ripple current. In a typical
mobile CPU design, the hysteresis is typically set at a few
milivolts.
Example: hysteresis voltage is set at 6mV, hysteresis current
ih = 100µA
So RH1 = RH2 = 6mV ÷ 100µA = 60Ω.

SETTING CURRENT LIMIT
1. Grounding
The current limit comparator compares the voltage preestablished across the current limit set resistor (R13 in Figure 1) and the voltage across the current sense resistors.
There are two grounds, one is power ground, the other is
signal ground. Power ground is the plane which DGND,
power FETs, input and output capacitors are directly connected to. Signal ground is a separate plane that R6 / R8 /
C3 / C7 and SGND / TGND (if LLP, also the thermal pad) are
connected to. Signal ground should connect to the ground
sense via through a trace.
PGND should connect to the source pins of Channel 1
bottom FETs through a separate trace. If vias have to be
used during routing, make sure the vias are isolated from all
ground planes, polygons and fills.
The current sourced by the ILIMREF pin is 3 times ih. The
equation to determine R13 is:
where Ipeak is the maximum allowed peak inductor current,
RS1 is the sense resistance and Iref is the current sourced by
the ILIMREF pin.
Example: RS1 = RS2 = 3mΩ, Ipeak = 21A, Iref = 300µA.
So R13 = 210Ω. Note Ipeak is usually half of maximum output
current plus inductor current ripple plus some margin. Suppose the maximum output current is 24A, and inductor ripple
current is ± 5A. So choosing an Ipeak value of 21A gives us a
margin of 8A in load current.
2. Sensing
The VCORE sense via should be as close to output bulk
capacitors as possible and should be symmetrical with respect to the two phases. It should also be isolated from any
VCORE planes / polygons / fills other than those on the top
layer. The VCORE sense signal should be used for the
SENSE pin, R13 and R14. This trace should be kept away
from power inductors.
SETTING THE LOAD LINE SLOPE
Refer to Figure 1. In two-phase operation mode, the load line
is set by the ratio between RR1 and RR2. The equation is:
The ground sense via is the only place power ground connects to signal ground. The via should be as close to the
output bulk capacitors as possible. It should be symmetrical
with respect to the two phases. It should also be isolated
from any ground planes/polygons/fills other than those on
top layer. The control IC should be close to this Via.
SW1 sense needs a trace from the SW1 pin to the drain pins
of the Channel 1 bottom FETs. If vias have to be used during
routing, make sure the vias are isolated from all SW1 planes
/ polygons / fills. Keep the SW1 sense trace as close as
possible to the SRCK1 trace.
Current sense vias should connect to the current sense
resistor pads through a top layer trace. The vias should be
isolated from all planes / polygons / fills on the same net but
not on the top layer. They should connect to R11 / R12 and
R18 / R19 through an isolated trace. Current sense traces
should be kept away from power inductors.
Example: RS1 = 3mΩ, r = -3mΩ.
So RR2 divided by RR1+RR2 is 0.5
It is suggested that the user choose the parallel combination
of RR1 and RR2 to be close to RH1 or RH2 to cancel the DC
offset caused by bias current of the CMPx pins. So if RH1 is
60Ω, then RR1 = RR2 = 120Ω.
