RT3662AC
Operation
The RT3662AC adopts G-NAVPTM (Green Native
Error Amplifier
AVP) which is Richtek's proprietary topology derived
from finite DC gain of EA amplifier with current mode
control, making it easy to set the droop to meet all
AMD CPU requirements of AVP (Adaptive Voltage
Positioning). The G-NAVPTM controller is one type of
current mode constant on-time control with DC offset
Error amplifier generates COMP/COMP_NB signal by
the difference between VSET/VSET_NB and
FB/FB_NB.
cancellation. The approach can not only improve DC
offset problem for increasing system accuracy but also
provide fast transient response. When current
feedback signal reaches COMP signal, it generates an
on-time width to achieve PWM modulation.
voltage ripple and current ripple to achieve accurate
output voltage.
Offset Cancellation
This block cancels the output offset voltage from
UVLO
Detect the VCC pin voltage for under voltage lockout
protection and power on reset operation.
MUX and ADC
The MUX supports the inputs from SET1, TSEN,
TSEN_NB, IMONI, IMONI_NB, ISENN_NB and VSEN.
The ADC converts these analog signals to digital
codes for reporting or performance adjustment.
SVI2 Interface/Configuration Registers/Control
Logic
The SVI2 interface uses the SVC, SVD, and SVT pins
to communicate with CPU. The configuration registers
save the digital data from ADC output for reporting or
performance adjustment. The Control Logic controls
the ADC timing and generates the digital code of the
VID for VDD/VDDNB voltage.
Loop Control Protection Logic
Loop control protection logic detects EN and UVLO
signals to initiate the soft-start function, and the
PGOOD and VRHOT_L will be controlled after the
soft-start is finished. When VRHOT indication event
occurs, the VRHOT_L pin voltage will be pulled low.
Current Balance
Each phase current sense signal is sent to the current
balance circuit which adjusts the on-time of each
phase to optimize current sharing.
PWM CMP
The PWM comparator compares COMP signal
(COMP/COMP_NB) and current feedback signal to
generate a signal for TONGEN.
TONGEN
This block generates an on-time pulse which high
interval is based on the on-time setting.
RAMP
The Ramp generator is designed to improve noise
immunity and reduce jitter.
OC/OV/UV
Output voltage and output current are sensed for over
current, over voltage and under voltage protection.
DAC
The DAC receives VID codes from the SVI2 control
logic to generate an internal reference voltage
(VSET/VSET_NB) for controller.
Soft-Start and Slew-Rate Control
This block controls the slew rate of the internal
reference voltage when output voltage changes.

Application Information
Power Ready (POR) Detection
Boot VID
During start-up, the RT3662AC will detect the voltage at
the voltage input pins: VCC, PVCC and EN. When VCC
> 4.3V and PVCC > 3.85V, the IC will recognize the
power state of system to be ready (POR = high) and
wait for enable command at the EN pin. After POR =
When EN goes high, both VDD and VDDNB output
begin to soft-start to the Boot VID in CCM. Table 7
shows the Boot VID setting. The Boot VID is determined
by the SVC and SVD input states at EN rising edge and
it is in the internal register. The digital soft-start circuit
high and VEN > 2V, the IC will enter start-up sequence
for both VDD and VDDNB rail. If the voltage of VCC and
EN pin drop below low threshold, the IC will enter power
down sequence and all the functions will be disabled.
Normally, connecting system power to the EN pin is
recommended. The SVID will be ready in 2ms (max)
ramps up the reference voltage at a controlled slew rate
to reduce inrush current during start-up. When all the
output voltages are above power good threshold
(300mV below Boot VID) at the end of soft-start, the
controller asserts power good (PGOOD) after a time
delay.
after the chip has been enabled. All the protection
latches (OVP, OCP, UVP) will be cleared only after
POR = low. The condition of VEN = low will not clear
these latches.

If the voltage at the EN pin falls below the enable falling

PGOOD pin will immediately go low when EN pin signal
goes low, and the controller executes soft-shutdown
operation. The internal digital circuit ramps down the
reference voltage at the same slew rate as that of in
soft-start, making VDD and VDDNB output voltages
gradually decrease in CCM. The Boot VID information
stored in the internal register is cleared at POR. This
event forces the RT3662AC to check the SVC and SVD
inputs for a new boot VID when the EN voltage goes

(SVI2) protocol. With SVI2 protocol, the processor
directly controls the reference voltage level of each
individual controller channel and determines which
controller operates in power saving mode. The SVI2
interface is a three-wire bus that connects a single
master to one or above slaves. The master initiates and
terminates SVI2 transactions and drives the clock, SVC,
and the data, SVD, during a transaction. The slave
drives the telemetry, SVT during a transaction. The
AMD processor is always the master. The voltage
PGOOD
The PGOOD is open-drain logic output. It provides the
power good signal when VDD and VDDNB output
voltage are within the regulation limits and no protection
is triggered. The pin is typically tied to 3.3V or 5V power
source through a pull-high resistor. During shutdown
state (EN = low) and the soft-start period, the PGOOD
voltage is pulled low. After a successful soft-start and
VDD and VDDNB output voltages are within the
regulation limits, the PGOOD is released high.
The voltage at the PGOOD pin will be pulled low when any
of the following events occurs : over-voltage protection,
under-voltage protection, over-current protection, and logic
low EN voltage. If one rail triggers protection, the PGOOD
will be pull low.
regulator controller (RT3662AC) is always the slave.
The RT3662AC receives the SVID code and acts
accordingly. The SVI protocol supports 20MHz high
speed mode I2C, which is based on SVD data packet.
Table 8 shows the SVD data packet. A SVD packet
consists of a “Start” signal, three data bytes after each
byte, and a “Stop” signal. The 8-bit serial VID codes are
listed in Table1. After the RT3662AC has received the
stop sequence, it decodes the received serial VID code
and executes the command. The controller has the
ability to sample and report voltage and current for the
VDD and VDDNB domains. The controller reports this
telemetry serially over the SVT wire which is clocked by
the processor driven SVC. A bit TFN at SVD packet
along with the VDD and VDDNB domain selector bits
are used by the processor to change the telemetry
functionality. The telemetry bit definition is listed in
Figure 3. The detailed SVI2 specification is outlined in
the AMD Voltage Regulator and Voltage Regulator
Module (VRM) and Serial VID Interface 2.0 (SVI2)
Specification.

PWROK and SVI2 Operation
VID on-the-Fly Transition
The PWROK pin is an input pin, which is connected to
the global power good signal from the platform. Logic
high at this pin enables the SVI2 interface, allowing data
transaction between processor and the RT3662AC.
Once the RT3662AC receives a valid SVID code, it
decodes the information from processor to determine
which output plane is going to move to the target VID.
The internal DAC then steps the reference voltage in a
After the RT3662AC has received a valid SVID code, it
executes the VID on-the-Fly transition by stepping
up/down the reference voltage of the required controller
channel in a controlled slew rate, hence allowing the
output voltage to ramp up/down to target VID.
controlled slew rate, making the output voltage shift to
the required new VID. Depending on the SVID code,
more than one controller channel can be targeted
simultaneously in the VID transition. For example, VDD
and VDDNB voltages can ramp up/down at the same
time.
prior to the VID on-the-Fly transition, it will change to
high performance mode and implement CCM operation
when the controller implement VID up, and then remain
in high performance mode; if the controller implement
VID down in power-saving mode, it will decay down and
keep in power-saving mode. The voltage at the PGOOD
pin will keep high during the VID on-the-Fly transition.
The RT3662AC send a VOTF complete only at the end
of VID up transition. In the event of receiving a VID off
code, the RT3662AC steps the reference voltage of
required controller channel down to zero, hence making
the required output voltage decrease to zero, and the
voltage at the PGOOD pin will remain high since the VID
code is valid.
If the PWROK input goes low during normal operation,
the SVI2 protocol stops running. The RT3662AC
immediately drives SVT high and modifies all output
voltages back to the Boot VID, which is stored in the
internal register right after the controller is enabled. The
controller does not read SVD and SVC inputs after the
loss of PWROK. If the PWROK input goes high again,
the SVI2 protocol resumes running. The RT3662AC
then waits to decode the SVID command from
processor for a new VID and acts as previously
described. The SVI2 protocol is only runs when the
PWROK input goes high after the voltage at the EN pin
goes high.

VDD Controller
Current Signal Sensing
Active Phase Determination
Refer to Figure 7, for different RSENSE resistor, the
current sense method can classify as two types. The
The number of active phases is determined by the
internal circuitry that monitors the ISEN2P voltage
during start-up. Normally, the VDD controller operates
as a 2-phase PWM controller. Pulling ISEN2P to VCC
programs a 1-phase operation. At EN rising edge, VDD
controller detects whether the voltage of ISEN2P is
higher than “VCC  0.5V” to decide how many phases
should be active and the active phase number is
determined and latched.
Loop Control
The VDD controller adopts Richtek's proprietary GNAVPTM topology. The G-NAVPTM is based on the
finite gain peak current mode with CCRCOT (Constant
Current Ripple Constant On-Time) topology. The output
voltage, VVDD will decrease with increasing output load
current. The control loop consists of PWM modulators
with power stages, current sense amplifiers and an error
method1 only use RX1 for lower RSENSE application,
and the method2 use RX1 and RX2 to divide the current
signal for higher RSENSE application. Richtek also
provide Excel based design tool to let user choose the
appropriate components quickly.
The current sense topology of the VDD controller is
continuous inductor current sensing. Therefore, the
controller has less noise sensitive. Low offset amplifiers
are used for current balance, loop control and over
current
detection. The ISENxP and ISEN1N pins
denote the positive and negative input of the current
sense amplifier.
In order to optimize transient performance, the
recommended Req and CX will be set according to the
equations as below,  recommended set to 1.1.

amplifier as shown in Figure 7.
Similar to the peak current mode control with finite
compensator gain, the HS_FET on-time is determined
by CCRCOT on-time generator. When load current
increases (VCS increases), the steady state COMP
voltage also increases and induces VVDD_SENSE to
decrease, thus achieving AVP. A near-DC offset
canceling is added to the output of EA to eliminate the
inherent output offset of finite gain peak current mode
controller.

Considering the inductance tolerance, the resistor Req
has to be tuned on board by examining the transient
voltage. If the output voltage transient has an initial dip
below the minimum load-line requirement and the
response time is too fast causing a ring back, the value
of resistance should be increased. Vice versa, with a
high resistance, the output voltage transient has only a
small initial dip with a slow response time.

Current Balance
The VDD controller implements internal current balance
mechanism in the current loop. The VDD controller
senses and compares per-phase current signal with
average current. If the sensed current of any particular
phase is larger than average current, the on-time of this
phase will be adjusted to be shorter.
Loop Compensation
Optimized compensation of the VDD controller allows
for best possible load step response of the regulator's
output. A type-I compensator with one pole and one
zero is adequate for proper compensation. Figure 9
shows the compensation circuit. Previous design
procedure shows how to select the resistive feedback
components for the error amplifier gain. Next, C1 and
C2 must be calculated for compensation. The target is
to achieve constant resistive output impedance over the
widest possible frequency range.

For prevent the OCP false trigger, the trigger delay is
requirement, refer to Electrical Characteristics. When
output current is still higher than the OCP_SPIKE after
the trigger delay time, the OCP will be latched, and then
the VDD controller will turn off both high-side and lowside MOSFETs of all channels.
During normal operation, if the voltage at the VCC pin
drops below IC POR threshold, the VDD controller will

Current Sense Setting
Refer to Figure 12, for different RSENSE resistor, the
current sense method can classify as two types. The
method1 only use RX1 for lower RSENSE application,
and the method2 use RX1 and RX2 to divide the current
signal for higher RSENSE application. Richtek also
provide Excel based design tool to let user choose the
appropriate components quickly.
The current sense topology of the VDDNB controller is
continuous inductor current sensing. Therefore, the
controller has less noise sensitive. Low offset amplifiers
are used for loop control and over current detection. The
ISENP_NB and ISENN_NB pins denote the positive
and negative input of the current sense amplifier.

Considering the inductance tolerance, the resistor Req
has to be tuned on board by examining the transient
voltage. If the output voltage transient has an initial dip
below the minimum load-line requirement and the
response time is too fast causing a ring back, the value
of resistance should be increased. Vice versa, with a
high resistance, the output voltage transient has only a

During a dynamic VID event, the charging (dynamic VID
up) or discharging (dynamic VID down) current causes
unwanted load-line effect which degrades the settling
time performance. The RT3662AC will hold the inductor
current to hold the load-line during a dynamic VID event.
The VDDNB controller will always enter CCM operation
when it receives dynamic VID up command; If VDD
controller receives dynamic VID down command, it will
hold the operating state.
When the VID CCM down on light loading condition, the
negative inductor current will be produced, and it may
cause the audio noise and phase ring effect. For
improving the problems, the controller set the dynamic
VID down slew rate to 0.625mV/s, the action will
reduce the negative current and phase ring effect.

implemented through the TSEN pin setting. And the

G-NAVPTM topology is one type of ripple based control
that has fast transient response. However, ripple based
control usually don't have good noise immunity. The
RT3662AC provides a ramp compensation to increase
noise immunity and reduce jitter at the switching node
refer to Figure 10 shows the ramp compensation. When
the VDDNB controller takes phase shedding operation
and enters diode emulation mode, the internal ramp of
VDDNB controller will be modified for the reason of
stability.
Current Monitoring and Reporting
The VDDNB controller provides current monitoring
function via inductor current sensing. In the G-NAVPTM
technology, the output voltage is dependent on output
current, and the current monitoring function is achieved
by this characteristic of output voltage. The equivalent
output current will be sensed from inductor current
sensing and mirrored to the IMON_NB pin. The resistor
connected to the IMON_NB pin determines voltage of
the IMON_NB output.

VDDNB Voltage Reporting Offset
The VDDNB controller senses the ISENN_NB voltage
for voltage reporting. In Figure 15, due to the PCB trace
(RPCB) from ISENN_NB to output capacitor, it will cause
the voltage drop on loading, as the loading current
become bigger, the drop will affect the voltage reporting
seriously. Through the voltage reporting offset function,
it can be improved, and the voltage reporting of VDDNB
controller (VVDDNB_RPT) can be described as below :

For prevent the OCP false trigger, the trigger delay is
requirement, refer to Electrical Characteristics. When
output current is still higher than the OCP_SPIKE_NB
after the trigger delay time, the OCP will be latched, and
then the VDDNB controller will turn off both high-side
and low-side MOSFETs.
Per-Phase Over Current Protection
The VDDNB controller provides per-phase over current
protection (PHOCP) function, it only detected at softstart duration when VR power on. The PHOCP
threshold is set by TSEN_NB pin setting described as
below :
(39)
PHOCP_TH  OCP_SPIKE_NB  N
N is the VDDNB PHOCP setting ratio.
If the PHOCP is triggered, the controller will turn off all
high-side and low-side MOSFETs to protect CPU.
Over-Voltage Protection (OVP)
The OVP circuit of the VDDNB controller monitors the
output voltage via the ISENN_NB pin after POR. When
the ISENN_NB voltage exceeds the OVP threshold
1.85V, OVP is triggered and latched. The VDDNB
controller will try to turn on low-side MOSFET and turn
off high-side MOSFET of all active phases to protect the
CPU. When OVP is triggered by one rail, the other rail
will also enter soft shut down sequence. A 1s delay is
used in OVP detection circuit to prevent false trigger.

The VDDNB controller implements UVP of ISENN_NB pin.
If ISENN_NB voltage is less than the internal reference by
500mV, the VDDNB controller will trigger UVP latch. The
UVP latch will turn off both high-side and low-side
MOSFETs. When UVP is triggered by one rail, the other rail
will also enter soft shutdown sequence. A 3s delay is used
in UVP detection circuit to prevent false trigger.

During normal operation, if the voltage at the VCC pin
drops below IC POR threshold, the VDDNB controller
will trigger UVLO. The UVLO protection forces all highside and low-side MOSFETs off by shutting down
internal PWM logic drivers. A 3s delay is used in UVLO
detection circuit to prevent false trigger.
Thermal Considerations
For continuous operation, do not exceed absolute
maximum junction temperature. The maximum power
dissipation depends on the thermal resistance of the IC
package, PCB layout, rate of surrounding airflow, and
difference between junction and ambient temperature.
The maximum power dissipation can be calculated by
the following formula :
PD(MAX) = (TJ(MAX)  TA) / JA
where TJ(MAX) is the maximum junction temperature, TA
is the ambient temperature, and JA is the junction to
ambient thermal resistance.
The maximum power dissipation depends on the
operating ambient temperature for fixed TJ(MAX) and
thermal resistance, JA. The derating curve in Figure 16
allows the designer to see the effect of rising ambient
temperature on the maximum power dissipation.

resistance, JA, is 27.5C/W on a standard JEDEC 517 four-layer thermal test board. The maximum power
dissipation at TA = 25C can be calculated by the
following formula :
PD(MAX) = (125C  25C) / (27.5C/W) = 3.63W for
