RT8205L/M High Efficiency, Main Power Supply Controller for Notebook Computer General Description Features The RT8205L/M is a dual step-down, switch mode power supply controller generating logic-supply voltages in battery powered systems. It includes two Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) controllers adjustable from 2V to 5.5V, and also features fixed 5V/3.3V linear regulators. Each linear regulator provides up to 100mA output current with automatic linear regulator bootstrapping to the PWM outputs. An optional external charge pump can be monitored through SECFB (RT8205M). The RT8205L/M includes on-board power up sequencing, a power good output, internal soft-start, and internal soft-discharge output that prevents negative voltage during shutdown. z The constant on-time PWM control scheme operates without sense resistors and provides 100ns response to load transient response while maintaining nearly constant switching frequency. To eliminate noise in audio applications, an ultrasonic mode is included, which maintains the switching frequency above 25kHz. Moreover, the diode-emulation mode maximizes efficiency for light load applications. The RT8205L/M is available in a WQFN-24L 4x4 package. z z z z z z z z z z z z z z Constant On-time Control with 100ns Load Step Response Wide Input Voltage Range : 6V to 25V Dual Adjustable Outputs from 2V to 5.5V Secondary Feedback Input Maintains Charge Pump Voltage (RT8205M) Fixed 3.3V and 5V LDO Output : 100mA 2V Reference Voltage Frequency Selectable via TONSEL Setting 4700ppm/°°C RDS(ON) Current Sensing Programmable Current Limit Combined with Enable Control Selectable PWM, DEM, or Ultrasonic Mode Internal Soft-Start and Soft-Discharge High Efficiency up to 97% 5mW Quiescent Power Dissipation Thermal Shutdown RoHS Compliant and Halogen Free Applications z z Notebook and Sub-Notebook Computers 3-Cell and 4-Cell Li+ Battery-Powered Devices Ordering Information RT8205 Package Type QW : WQFN-24L 4x4 (W-Type) Lead Plating System G : Green (Halogen Free and Pb Free) Z : ECO (Ecological Element with Halogen Free and Pb free) Pin Function L : Default M : With SECFB Note : Richtek products are : ` RoHS compliant and compatible with the current requirements of IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020. ` Suitable for use in SnPb or Pb-free soldering processes.

DS8205L/M-05 June 2011 RT8205L/M Application Information The RT8205L/M is a dual, Mach ResponseTM DRVTM dual ramp valley mode synchronous buck controller. The controller is designed for low-voltage power supplies for notebook computers. Richtek's Mach Response TM technology is specifically designed for providing 100ns “instant-on” response to load steps while maintaining a relatively constant operating frequency and inductor operating point over a wide range of input voltages. The topology circumvents the poor load-transient timing problems of fixed-frequency current-mode PWMs while avoiding the problems caused by widely varying switching frequencies in conventional constant-on-time and constantoff-time PWM schemes. The DRV TM mode PWM modulator is specifically designed to have better noise immunity for such a dual output application. The RT8205L/ M includes 5V (VREG5) and 3.3V (VREG3) linear regulators. VREG5 linear regulator can step down the battery voltage to supply both internal circuitry and gate drivers. The synchronous-switch gate drivers are directly powered from VREG5. When VOUT1 voltage is above 4.66V, an automatic circuit will switch the power of the device from VREG5 linear regulator to VOUT1. PWM Operation The Mach ResponseTM DRVTM mode controller relies on the output filter capacitor's Effective Series Resistance (ESR) to act as a current-sense resistor, so the output ripple voltage provides the PWM ramp signal. Referring to the RT8205L/M's function block diagram, the synchronous high side MOSFET will be turned on at the beginning of each cycle. After the internal one-shot timer expires, the MOSFET will be turned off. The pulse width of this one shot is determined by the converter's input voltage and the output voltage to keep the frequency fairly constant over the input voltage range. Another one-shot sets a minimum off-time (300ns typ.). The on-time one-shot will be triggered if the error comparator is high, the low side switch current is below the current limit threshold, and the minimum off-time one-shot has timed out. PWM Frequency and On-Time Control The Mach ResponseTM control architecture runs with pseudo constant frequency by feed forwarding the input DS8205L/M-05 June 2011 and output voltage into the on-time one shot timer. The high side switch on-time is inversely proportional to the input voltage as measured by VIN, and proportional to the output voltage. There are two benefits of a constant switching frequency. First, the frequency can be selected to avoid noise-sensitive regions such as the 455kHz IF band. Second, the inductor ripple-current operating point remains relatively constant, resulting in easy design methodology and predictable output voltage ripple. Frequency for the 3V SMPS is set at 1.25 times higher than the frequency for 5V SMPS. This is done to prevent audio frequency “beating” between the two sides, which switches asynchronously for each side. The frequencies are set by the TONSEL pin connection as shown in Table 1. The on-time is given by : t ON = K × (VOUT / VIN ) where “K” is set by the TONSEL pin connection (Table 1). The on-time guaranteed in the Electrical Characteristics table is influenced by switching delays in the external high side power MOSFET. Two external factors that influence switching frequency accuracy are resistive drops in the two conduction loops (including inductor and PC board resistance) and the dead time effect. These effects are the largest contributors to the change frequency with changing load current. The dead time effect increases the effective on-time by reducing the switching frequency. It occurs only in PWM mode (SKIPSEL = GND) when the inductor current reverses at light or negative load currents. With reversed inductor current, the inductor's EMF causes PHASEx to go high earlier than normal, thus extending the on-time by a period equal to the low-to-high dead time. For loads above the critical conduction point, the actual switching frequency is : f = (VOUT + VDROP1) / (t ON × (VIN + VDROP1 − VDROP2 )) where VDROP1 is the sum of the parasitic voltage drops in the inductor discharge path, which includes the synchronous rectifier, inductor, and PC board resistances. VDROP2 is the sum of the resistances in the charging path; and tON is the on-time. www.richtek.com 17 RT8205L/M TONSEL Table 1. TONSEL Connection and Switching Frequency SMPS 1 SMPS 1 SMPS 2 SMPS 2 K-Factor (μs) Frequency (kHz) K-Factor (μs) Frequency (kHz) Approximate K-Factor Error (%) GND 5 200 4 250 ±10 REF 3.33 300 2.67 375 ±10 VREG5 or VREG3 2.5 400 2 500 ±10 Operation Mode Selection (SKIPSEL) The RT8205L/M supports three operation modes: DiodeEmulation Mode, Ultrasonic Mode, and Forced-CCM Mode. User can set operation mode via the SKIPSEL pin. Diode-Emulation Mode (SKIPSEL = REF) In Diode-Emulation Mode, the RT8205L/M automatically reduces switching frequency at light load conditions to maintain high efficiency. This reduction of frequency is achieved smoothly. As the output current decreases from heavy load condition, the inductor current is also reduced and eventually comes to the point when its valley touches zero current, which is the boundary between continuous conduction and discontinuous conduction modes. By emulating the behavior of diodes, the low side MOSFET allows only partial negative current when the inductor free wheeling current becomes negative. As the load current is further decreased, it takes longer and longer to discharge the output capacitor to the level that requires the next “ON” cycle. The on-time is kept the same as that in the heavy-load condition. In reverse, when the output current increases from light load to heavy load, the switching frequency increases to the preset value as the inductor current reaches the continuous conduction. The transition load point to the light load operation as follows (Figure 1) : IL Slope = (VIN -VOUT) / L IL, PEAK ILoad = IL, PEAK / 2 ILOAD(SKIP) ≈ (VIN − VOUT ) × t ON 2L where tON is the On-time. The switching waveforms may appear noisy and asynchronous when light loading causes Diode-Emulation Mode operation. However, this is normal and results in high efficiency. Trade offs in PFM noise vs. light load efficiency is made by varying the inductor value. Generally, low inductor values produce a broader efficiency vs. load curve, while higher values result in higher full load efficiency (assuming that the coil resistance remains fixed) and less output voltage ripple. Penalties for using higher inductor values include larger physical size and degraded load transient response (especially at low input voltage levels). Ultrasonic Mode (SKIPSEL = VREG5 or VREG3) The RT8205L/M activates an unique Diode-Emulation Mode with a minimum switching frequency of 25kHz, called the Ultrasonic Mode. The Ultrasonic Mode avoids audiofrequency modulation that would otherwise be present when a lightly loaded controller automatically skips pulses. In Ultrasonic Mode, the high side switch gate driver signal is ORed with an internal oscillator (>25kHz). Once the internal oscillator is triggered, the controller enters constant off-time control. When output voltage reaches the setting peak threshold, the controller turns on the low side MOSFET until the controller detects that the inductor current has dropped below the zero crossing threshold. The internal circuitry provides a constant off-time control, and it is effective to regulate the output voltage under light load condition. Forced CCM Mode (SKIPSEL = GND) 0 tON t Figure 1. Boundary Condition of CCM/DEM www.richtek.com 18 The low noise, Forced CCM mode (SKIPSEL = GND) disables the zero crossing comparator, which controls the low side switch on-time. This causes the low side DS8205L/M-05 June 2011 RT8205L/M gate driver waveform to become the complement of the high side gate driver waveform. This in turn causes the inductor current to reverse at light loads as the PWM loop to maintain a duty ratio of VOUT/VIN. The benefit of forced CCM mode is to keep the switching frequency fairly constant, but it comes at a cost. The no-load battery current can be from 10mA to 40mA, depending on the external MOSFETs. Therefore, the exact current limit characteristic and maximum load capability are functions of the sense resistance, inductor value, and battery and output voltage. IL IL, peak ILoad ILIM Reference and Linear Regulators (REF, VREGx) The 2V reference (REF) is accurate within ±1% over the entire operating temperature range, making REF useful as a precision system reference. Bypass REF to GND with a minimum 0.22μF ceramic capacitor. REF can supply up to 100μA for external loads. Loading REF reduces the VOUTx output voltage slightly because of the reference load regulation error. The RT8205L/M includes 5V (VREG5) and 3.3V (VREG3) linear regulators. The VREG5 regulator supplies a total of 100mA for internal and external loads, including the MOSFET gate driver and PWM controller. The VREG3 regulator supplies up to 100mA for external loads. Bypass VREG5 and VREG3 with a minimum 4.7μF ceramic capacitor. When the 5V main output voltage is above the VREG5 switchover threshold (4.75V), an internal 1.5Ω P- MOSFET switch connects VOUT1 to VREG5, while simultaneously shutting down the VREG5 linear regulator. Similarly, when the 3.3V main output voltage is above the VREG3 switchover threshold (3.125V), an internal 1.5Ω P-MOSFET switch connects VOUT2 to VREG3, while simultaneously shutting down the VREG3 linear regulator. It can decrease the power dissipation from the same battery, because the converted efficiency of SMPS is better than the converted efficiency of the linear regulator. 0 t Figure 2. “ Valley” Current Limit The RT8205L/M uses the on resistance of the synchronous rectifier as the current sense element and supports temperature compensated MOSFET RDS(ON) sensing. The RILIMx resistor between the ENTRIPx pin and GND sets the current limit threshold. The resistor RILIMx is connected to a current source from ENTRIPx, which is typically10μA at room temperature. The current source has a 4700ppm/ °C temperature slope to compensate the temperature dependency of the RDS(ON). When the voltage drop across the sense resistor or low side MOSFET equals 1/10 the voltage across the RILIMx resistor, positive current limit will be activated. The high side MOSFET will not be turned on until the voltage drop across the MOSFET falls below 1/10 the voltage across the RILIMx resistor. Choose a current limit resistor by following equation : VILIMx = (RILIMx × 10μ A)/10 = IILIMx × RDS(ON) RILIMx = (IILIMx × RDS(ON) ) × 10 / 10μ A Carefully observe the PC board layout guidelines to ensures that noise and DC errors do not corrupt the current sense signal at PHASEx and GND. Mount or place the IC close to the low side MOSFET. Current Limit Setting (ENTRIPx) Charge Pump (SECFB) The RT8205L/M has a cycle-by-cycle current limit control. The current limit circuit employs an unique “Valley” current sensing algorithm. If the magnitude of the current sense signal at PHASEx is above the current limit threshold, the PWM is not allowed to initiate a new cycle (Figure 2). The actual peak current is greater than the current limit threshold by an amount equal to the inductor ripple current. The external 14V charge pump is driven by LGATEx (Figure 3). When LGATEx is low, C1 will be charged by D1 from VOUT1. C1 voltage is equal to VOUT1 minus a diode drop. When LGATEx transitions to high, the charges from C1 will transfer to C2 through D2 and charge it to VLGATEX plus VC1. As LGATEx transitions low on the next cycle, C2 will charge C3 to its voltage minus a diode drop through DS8205L/M-05 June 2011 www.richtek.com 19 RT8205L/M D3. Finally, C3 charges C4 through D4 when LGATEx switches to high. So, VCP voltage is : VCP = VOUT1+ 2 × VLGATEX − 4 × VD where VLGATEX is the peak voltage of LGATEx driver and is equal to the VREG5; VD is the forward diode dropped across the Schottky. SECFB in the RT8205M is used to monitor the charge pump through the resistive divider (Figure 3) to generate approximately 14V DC voltage and the clock driver uses VOUT1 as its power supply. In the event when SECFB drops below its feedback threshold, an ultrasonic pulse will occur to refresh the charge pump driven by LGATEx. In the event of an overload on charge pump where SECFB can not reach more than its feedback threshold, the controller will enter the ultrasonic mode. Special care The low side driver is designed to drive high current, low RDS(ON) N-MOSFET(s). The internal pull down transistor that drives LGATEx low is robust, with a 1.5Ω typical on resistance. A 5V bias voltage is delivered from the VREG5 supply. The instantaneous drive current is supplied by an input capacitor connected between VREG5 and GND. For high current applications, some combinations of high and low side MOSFETs might be encountered that will cause excessive gate drain coupling, which can lead to efficiency killing, EMI producing shoot through currents. This can be remedied by adding a resistor in series with BOOTx, which increases the turn-on time of the high side MOSFET without degrading the turn-off time (Figure 4). VIN BOOTx should be taken to ensure enough normal ripple voltage on each cycle as to prevent charge pump shutdown. Reducing the charge pump decoupling capacitor and placing a small ceramic capacitor (47 pF to 220pF) (CF of Figure 3) in parallel with the upper leg of the SECFB resistor feedback network (RCP1 of Figure 3) will also increase the robustness of the charge pump. RBOOT UGATEx PHASEx Figure 4. Reducing the UGATEx Rise Time Soft-Start SECFB RCP2 LGATE1 CF C3 C1 D2 D1 D3 RCP1 D4 C2 CP C4 VOUT1 Figure 3. Charge Pump Circuit Connected to SECFB MOSFET Gate Driver (UGATEx, LGATEx) The high side driver is designed to drive high current, low RDS(ON) N-MOSFET(s). When configured as a floating driver, a 5V bias voltage is delivered from the VREG5 supply. The average drive current is calculated by the gate charge at V GS = 5V times the switching frequency. The instantaneous drive current is supplied by the flying capacitor between the BOOTx and PHASEx pins. A dead time to prevent shoot through is internally generated between the high side MOSFET off to, the low side MOSFET on, and the low side MOSFET off to the high side MOSFET on. www.richtek.com 20 The RT8205L/M provides internal soft-start function to prevent large inrush current and output voltage overshoot when the converter starts up. The soft-start (SS) automatically begins once the chip is enabled. During softstart, the voltage is clamped to the ramping of internal reference voltage which is compared with FBx signal. The typical soft-start duration is 2ms. An unique PWM duty limit control that prevents output over voltage during softstart period is designed specifically for FBx floating. UVLO Protection The RT8205L/M features VREG5 under voltage lockout protection (UVLO). When the VREG5 voltage is lower than 3.9V (typ.) and the VREG3 voltage is lower than 2.5V (typ.), both switch power supplies are shut off. This is non-latch protection. Power Good Output (PGOOD) PGOOD is an open-drain type output and requires a pullup resistor. PGOOD is actively held low in soft-start, DS8205L/M-05 June 2011 RT8205L/M standby, and shutdown. It is released when both output voltages are above 91% of the nominal regulation point. The PGOOD goes low if either output turns off or is 15% below its nominal regulator point. supplied from VOUTx, while the input voltage on VIN and the drawing current from VREGx are too high. Even if VREGx is supplied from VOUTx, large power dissipation on automatic switches caused by overloading VREGx, which may also result in thermal shutdown. Output Over Voltage Protection (OVP) The output voltage can be continuously monitored for over voltage. If the output voltage exceeds 12% of its set voltage threshold, the over voltage protection is triggered and the LGATEx low side gate drivers are forced high. This activates the low side MOSFET switch, which rapidly discharges the output capacitor and pulls the input voltage downward. The RT8205L/M is latched once OVP is triggered and can only be released by toggling EN, ENTRIPx or cycling VIN. There is a 5μs delay built into the over voltage protection circuit to prevent false alarm. Note that the latching LGATEx high causes the output voltage to dip slightly negative when energy has been previously stored in the LC tank circuit. For loads that cannot tolerate a negative voltage, place a power Schottky diode across the output to act as a reverse polarity clamp. If the over voltage condition is caused by a short in the high side switch, completely turning on the low side MOSFET can create an electrical short between the battery and GND, which will blow the fuse and disconnect the battery from the output. Output Under Voltage Protection (UVP) The output voltage can be continuously monitored for under voltage protection. If the output is less than 52% of its set voltage threshold, under voltage protection will be triggered, and then both UGATEx and LGATEx gate drivers will be forced low. The UVP will be ignored for at least 5ms (typ.) after start up or a rising edge on ENTRIPx. Toggle ENTRIPx or cycle VIN to reset the UVP fault latch and restart the controller. Thermal Protection The RT8205L/M features thermal shutdown protection to prevent overheat damage to the device. Thermal shutdown occurs when the die temperature exceeds 150°C. All internal circuitry is inactive during thermal shutdown. The RT8205L/M triggers thermal shutdown if VREGx is not DS8205L/M-05 June 2011 Discharge Mode (Soft-Discharge) When ENTRIPx is low and a transition to standby or shutdown mode occurs, or the output under voltage fault latch is set, the output discharge mode will be triggered. During discharge mode, the output capacitors' residual charge will be discharge to GND through an internal switch. Shutdown Mode The RT8205L/M SMPS1, SMPS2, VREG3 and VREG5 have independent enabling control. Drive EN, ENTRIP1 and ENTRIP2 below the precise input falling edge trip level to place the RT8205L/M in its low power shutdown state. The RT8205L/M consumes only 20μA of input current while in shutdown. When shutdown mode is activated, the reference turns off. The accurate 0.4V falling edge threshold on the EN pin can be used to detect a specific analog voltage level as well as to shutdown the device. Once in shutdown, the 1V rising edge threshold activates, providing sufficient hysteresis for most applications. Power Up Sequencing and On/Off Controls (ENTRIPx) ENTRIP1 and ENTRIP2 control the SMPS power up sequencing. When the RT8205L/M is in single channel mode, ENTRIP1 or ENTRIP2 enables the respective outputs when ENTRIPx voltage rises above 0.515V. Since current source form ENTRIPx has 4700ppm/°C temperature slope, please make sure that ENTRIPx voltage is high enough to enable the respective output in low temperature application. If ENTRIPx pin becomes higher than the enable threshold voltage while another channel is starting up, soft-start is postponed until the other channel's soft-start has completed. If both ENTRIP1 and ENTRIP2 become higher than the enable threshold voltage simultaneously (within 60μs), both channels will be start up simultaneously.

For the RT8205L/M package, the derating curve in Figure 7 allows the designer to see the effect of rising ambient temperature on the maximum power dissipation. 2.0 Maximum Power Dissipation (W)1 Output Capacitor Selection 2 (ΔILOAD ) × L 2 × COUT × VOUTx ⎛ ⎞ 1 VP−P = LIR × ILOAD(MAX) × ⎜ ESR + ⎟ 8 × COUT × f ⎠ ⎝ where VSAG and VSOAR are the allowable amount of undershoot voltage and overshoot voltage in the load transient, Vp-p is the output ripple voltage, tOFF(MIN) is the minimum off-time, and K is a factor listed in from Table 1. PD(MAX) = (TJ(MAX) − TA) / θJA where TJ(MAX) is the maximum junction temperature, TA is the ambient temperature, and θJA is the junction to ambient thermal resistance. For recommended operating condition specifications of the RT8205L/M, the maximum junction temperature is 125°C and TA is the ambient temperature. The junction to ambient thermal resistance, θJA, is layout dependent. For WQFN-24L 4x4 packages, the thermal resistance, θJA, is 52°C/W on a standard JEDEC 51-7 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) / (52°C/W) = 1.923W for WQFN-24L 4x4 package www.richtek.com 24 1.6 1.2 0.8 0.4 0.0 0 25 50 75 100 125 Ambient Temperature (°C) Figure 7. Derating Curve for the RT8205L/M Package 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 : Four-Layer PCB Layout Considerations Layout is very important in high frequency switching converter designs, the PCB could radiate excessive noise and contribute to the converter instability with improper layout. Certain points must be considered before starting a layout using the RT8205L/M. ` Place the filter capacitor close to the IC, within 12 mm (0.5 inch) if possible. ` Keep current limit setting network as close as possible to the IC. Routing of the network should avoid coupling to high voltage switching node. ` Connections from the drivers to the respective gate of the high side or the low side MOSFET should be as short as possible to reduce stray inductance. Use 0.65 mm (25 mils) or wider trace. ` All sensitive analog traces and components such as VOUTx, FBX, GND, ENTRIPx, PGOOD, and TONSEL should be placed away from high voltage switching nodes such as PHASEx, LGATEx, UGATEx, or BOOTx nodes to avoid coupling. Use internal layer(s) as ground plane(s) and shield the feedback trace from power traces and components. DS8205L/M-05 June 2011 RT8205L/M ` Place the ground terminal of VIN capacitor(s), VOUTx capacitor(s), and source of low side MOSFETs as close as possible. The PCB trace defined as PHASEx node, which connects to source of high side MOSFET, drain of low side MOSFET and high voltage side of the inductor, should be as short and wide as possible.
