RT8207L/M
Complete DDRII/DDRIII/Low-Power DDRIII/DDRIV Memory
Power Supply Controller
General Description
The RT8207L/M provides a complete power supply for both
DDRII/DDRIII/Low-Power DDRIII/DDRIV memory systems.
It integrates a synchronous PWM buck controller with a
1.5A sink/source tracking linear regulator and buffered low
noise reference.
The PWM controller provides the high efficiency, excellent
transient response, and high DC output accuracy needed
for stepping down high voltage batteries to generate low
voltage 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 RT8207L/M 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 1.5A sink/source LDO maintains fast transient
response, only requiring 20μF of ceramic output
capacitance. In addition, the LDO supply input is available
externally to significantly reduce the total power losses.
The RT8207L/M supports all of the sleep state controls
placing VTT at high-Z in S3 and discharging VDDQ, VTT
and VTTREF (soft-off) in S4/S5.
The RT8207L/M has all of the protection features including
thermal shutdown and is available in WQFN-24L 4x4 and
WQFN-20L 3x3 packages.
