RT8202/A/B
Single Synchronous Buck Controller
General Description
The RT8202/A/B PWM controller provides high efficiency,
excellent transient response, and high DC output accuracy
needed for stepping down high voltage batteries to
generate low voltage CPU core, I/O, and chipset RAM
supplies in notebook computers.
The constant on-time PWM control scheme handles wide
input/output voltage ratios with ease and provides 100ns
“instant-on”
response to load transients while maintaining
a relatively constant switching frequency.
The RT8202/A/B achieves high efficiency at a reduced
cost by eliminating the current sense resistor found in
traditional current mode PWMs. Efficiency is further
enhanced by its ability to drive very large synchronous
rectifier MOSFETs. The buck conversion allows this device
to directly step down high voltage batteries for the highest
possible efficiency. The RT8202/A/B is intended for CPU
core, chipset, DRAM, or other low voltage supplies as
low as 0.75V. RT8202 is available in WQFN-16L 4x4,
RT8202A is available in WQFN-16L 3x3 and RT8202B is
available in WQFN-14L 3.5x3.5 packages.

Pin Function
VOUT Sense Input. Connect to the output of PWM converter. VOUT is an
input of the PWM controller.
Analog Supply Voltage Input for the internal analog integrated circuit.
Bypass to GND with a 1μF ceramic capacitor.
VOUT Feedback Input. Connect FB to a resistor voltage divider from
VOUT to GND to adjust the output from 0.75V to 3.3V.
Power Good Signal Open-Drain Output of PWM Converter. This pin will
be pulled high when the output voltage is within the target range.
No Internal Connection.
Ground for Analog Circuitry.
The exposed pad must be soldered to a large
PCB and connected to GND for maximum power dissipation.
Power Ground.
Low side N-MOSFET Gate-Drive Output for PWM. This pin swings
between GND and VDDP.
VDDP is the gate driver supply for the external MOSFETs. Bypass to
GND with a 1μF ceramic capacitor.
PWM Current Limit Setting and sense. Connect a resistor between OC to
PHASE for current limit setting.
Inductor Connection. This pin is not only the zero-current-sense input for
the PWM converter, but also the UGATE high side gate driver return.
High Side N-MOSFET Floating Gate-Driver Output for the PWM
converter. This pin swings between PHASE and BOOT.
Boost Capacitor Connection for PWM Converter. Connect an external
ceramic capacitor to PHASE and an external diode to VDDP.
PWM Enable and Operation Mode Selection Input. Connect to VDD for
diode-emulation mode, connect to GND for shutdown mode and floating
the pin for CCM mode.
VIN Sense Input. Connect to VIN through a resistor. TON is an input of
the PWM controller.
