RT8179C
Dual-Output PWM Controller with 2 Integrated Drivers for
AMD SVI2 Mobile CPU Power Supply
General Description
The RT8179C is a dual-output PWM controller, and is
compliant with AMD SVI2 Voltage Regulator Specification
to support both CPU core (VDD) and Northbridge portion
of the CPU (VDDNB). The RT8179C features CCRCOT
(Constant Current Ripple Constant On-Time) with G-NAVP
(Green-Native AVP), which is Richtek's proprietary
topology. G-NAVP makes it an easy setting controller to
meet all AMD AVP (Adaptive Voltage Positioning) VDD/
VDDNB requirements. The droop is easily programmed
by setting the DC gain of the error amplifier. With proper
compensation, the load transient response can achieve
optimized AVP performance. The controller also uses the
interface to issue VOTF Complete and to send digitally
encoded voltage and current values for the VDD and
VDDNB domains. It can operate in diode emulation mode
and reach up to 90% efficiency in different modes according
to different loading conditions. The RT8179C provides
special purpose offset capabilities by pin setting. The
RT8179C also provides power good indication, over
current indication (OCP_L) and dual OCP mechanism for
AMD SVI2 CPU core and NB. It also features complete
fault protection functions including over voltage, under
voltage and negative voltage.

Pin Function
Bootstrap supply for high side MOSFET. This pin powers high side MOSFET
driver.
VDD controller on-time setting. Connect this pin to the converter input voltage,
VIN, through a resistor, R
TON
, to set the on-time of UGATE and also the output
voltage ripple of VDD controller.
Positive current sense input of Channel 1 for VDD controller.
Negative current sense input of Channel 1 for VDD controller.
VDD controller voltage sense input. This pin is connected to the terminal of
VDD controller output voltage.
Output voltage feedback input of VDD controller. This pin is the negative input
of the error amplifier for the VDD controller.
Error amplifier output pin of the VDD controller.
Return ground of VDD and VDDNB controller. This pin is the common negative
input of output voltage differential remote sense for VDD and VDDNB
controllers.
Current monitor output for the VDD controller. This pin outputs a voltage
proportional to the output current.
Fixed 0.64V output reference voltage output. This voltage is only used to offset
the output voltage of the IMON pin and the IMONA pin. Connect a 0.47F
capacitor from this pin to GND.
Current monitor output for the VDDNB controller. This pin outputs a voltage
proportional to the output current.
Processor memory interface power rail and serves as the reference for
PWROK, SVD, SVC and SVT. This pin is used by the VR to reference the SVI
pins.
System power good input. If PWROK is low, the SVI interface is disabled and
VR returns to BOOT-VID state with initial load-line slope and initial offset. If
PWROK is high, the SVI interface is running and the DAC decodes the
received serial VID codes to determine the output voltage.
Serial VID clock input from processor.
Serial VID data input from processor. This pin is a serial data line.
Serial VID telemetry input from VR. This pin is a push-pull output.
Over clocking offset setting for the VDD controller.

1st platform setting pin. Platform can use this pin to set OCP_TDC threshold,
DVID compensation bit1 and internal ramp slew rate.
2st platform setting pin. Platform can use this pin to set quick response
threshold, OCP_TDC trigger delay time, DVID compensation bit0, VDDNB rail
zero load-line enable setting and over clocking offset enable setting.
Over current indicator for dual OCP mechanism. This pin is an open drain
output.
Controller power supply input. Connect this pin to 5V with a 1F or greater
ceramic capacitor for decoupling.
