RT8203
High-Efficiency, Quad Output, Main Power-Supply
Controllers for Notebook Computers
General Description
The RT8203 dual step-down, Switch Mode Power Supply
(SMPS) controllers generate logic-supply voltages in
battery-powered systems. The RT8203 include two pulse-
width modulation (PWM) controllers, adjustable from 2V
to 5.5V or fixed at 5V and 3.3V. These devices feature two
linear regulators providing 5V and 3.3V always-on outputs.
Each linear regulator provides up to 100mA output current
with automatic linear regulator bootstrapping to the main
SMPS outputs. The RT8203 include on-board power-up
sequencing, a power good (PGOOD) output, internal soft-
start, and soft-shutdown output discharge that prevents
negative voltages on shutdown.
Richtek's
proprietary Mach-
PWM
TM
“instant-on”
response, constant on-time PWM
control scheme operates without sense resistors and
provides 100ns response to load transients while
maintaining a relatively constant switching frequency. The
unique ultrasonic mode maintains the switching frequency
above 25kHz, which eliminates noise in audio applications.
Other features include diode-emulation, which maximizes
efficiency in light-load applications, and fixed-frequency
PWM mode, which reduces RF interference in sensitive
applications. The RT8203 provides a pin-selectable
switching frequency, allowing either 200kHz/300kHz or
400kHz/500kHz operation of the 5V/3.3V SMPSs,
respectively. The RT8203 is available in SSOP-28 package.

Pin Name
NC
PGOOD
Connect to GND.
Power Good Open Drain Output. PGOOD is pulled low if either output is disable or is
more than 8.75% below its normal value.
VOUT3 Enable Input. The 3.3V SMPS is enable if ON3 is greater than the on level
3
ON3
and disable if ON3 is less than the off level. If ON3 is connected to V
REF
, the 3.3V
SMPS starts after the 5V SMPS reached regulation(delay start). Force ON3 below the
clear fault level to reset the fault latched.
VOUT5 Enable Input. The 5V SMPS is enable if ON5 is greater than the on level and
4
ON5
disable if ON5 is less than the off level. If ON5 is connected to VREF, the 5V SMPS
starts after the 3.3V SMPS reached regulation(delay start). Force ON5 below the clear
fault level to reset the fault latched.
VOUT3 Current Limit Adjustment. The GND-PHASE3 current limit threshold defaults
5
ILIM3
to 100mV if ILIM3 is tied to VCC. In adjustable mode, the current limit threshold is 1/10
the voltage seen at ILIM3 over 0.5V to 3V range. The logic threshold for switch over to
100mV default value is approximately VCC
−
1V.
Enable Control Input. The device enters its 15μA supply current shutdown mode if EN
is less than the EN input falling edge trip level and does not restart until EN is greater
6
EN
than the EN input rising edge trip level. Connect EN to VIN for automatically startup.
EN can be connected to VIN through a resistive voltage divider to implement a
programmable undervoltage lockout.
7
FB3
VOUT3 Feedback Input. Connect FB3 to GND for fixed 3.3V operation. Connect FB3
to a resistive voltage divider from VOUT3 to GND to adjust the output from 2V to 5.5V.
2V Reference Output. Bypass to GND with a 0.22μF
(MIN)
capacitor. VREF can source
8
VREF
up to 100μA for external loads. Loading VREF degrades FBx and VOUTx accuracy
according to the VREF load regulation error.
9
FB5
PRO
VOUT5 Feedback Input. Connect FB5 to GND for fixed 5V operation. Connect FB5 to
a resistive voltage divider from VOUT5 to GND to adjust the output from 2V to 5.5V.
Over Voltage and Under Voltage Fault Protection Enable/Disable. Connect PRO to
VCC to disable Over Voltage and Under Voltage protection. Connect PRO to GND to
enable Over Voltage and Under Voltage protection.
VOUT5 Current Limit Adjustment. The GND
−
PHASE5 current limit threshold defaults
11
ILIM5
to 100mV if ILIM5 is tied to VCC. In adjustable mode, the current limit threshold is 1/10
the voltage seen at ILIM5 over 0.5V to 3V range. The logic threshold for switch over to
100mV default value is approximately VCC
−
1V.
12
SKIP
Operation Mode Input Control. Connect SKIP to GND for diode-emulation mode
(DEM) or to VCC for CCM mode(fixed frequency). Connect to VREF or floating for
ultrasonic mode.
13
14
TON
BOOT5
Frequency Select Input. Connect to VCC for 200kHz/300kHz operation and to GND
for 400kHz/500kHz operation (VOUT5/VOUT3 switching frequency respectively).
Boost Capacitor Connection for 5V SMPS. Connect an external ceramic capacitor to
PHASE5 and an external diode to LDO5.

Pin Function
Inductor Connection for 5V SMPS. PHASE5 is the internal lower supply rail for the

Low side N-MOSFET Gate-Drive Output for VOUT5. Swings between GND and
LDO5.
Power-Supply Input. VIN powers the LDO5/LDO3 linear regulators and is also used
for PWM control circuits. Connect VIN to the battery input or the AC adapter output.
VOUT5 Sense Input. Connect to the 5V output. VOUT5 is an input to the PWM control
circuit. It also serves as the 5V feedback input in fixed-voltage mode. If VOUT5 is
greater than the LDO5 switchover threshold, the LDO5 shuts down and LDO5
connects to VOUT5 through 1.4Ω switch.
VOUT3 Sense Input. Connect to the 3.3V output. VOUT3 is an input to the PWM
control circuit. It also serves as the 3.3V feedback input in fixed voltage mode. If
VOUT3 is greater than the LDO3 switchover threshold, the LDO3 shuts down and
LDO3 connects to VOUT3 through 1.5Ω switch.

Low side N-MOSFET Gate-Drive Output for VOUT3. Swings between GND and
LDO5.
3.3V Linear Regulator Output. LDO3 can provide a total of 100mA to external loads. If

ceramic capacitor to GND.
High Side N-MOSFET Floating Gate-Driver Output for VOUT3. Swings between
PHASE3 and BOOT3.
Inductor Connection for 3.3V SMPS. PHASE3 is the internal lower supply rail for the
UGATE3 high side gate driver, and the current sense input for the 3.3V SMPS.
