RT8167A
Dual Single-Phase PWM Controller for CPU Core/GFX
Power Supply
General Description
The RT8167A is a dual single-phase synchronous Buck
PWM controller with integrated gate drivers, compliant
with Intel VR12/IMVP7 specification. A serial VID (SVID)
interface is built-in in the RT8167A to communicate with
Intel VR12/IMVP7 compliant CPU. The integrated
differential remote output voltage sensing function and
built-in high accuracy DAC achieve accurate output voltage
regulation.
The RT8167A supports VR12/ IMVP7 compatible power
management states and VID on-the-fly function. The
RT8167A operates in two power management states
including DEM in PS2 and Forced-CCM in PS1/PS0.
Richtek's proprietary G-NAVPTM (Green Native AVP) makes
AVP (Active Voltage Positioning) design easier and more
robust. By utilizing the G-NAVPTM topology, DEM and CCM
efficiency can be improved.
The RT8167A integrates high accuracy ADC for platform
setting functions, such as no-load offset or over current
level. Individual VR ready output signals are provided for
both CORE VR and GFX VR. The IC also features complete
fault protection functions, including over voltage, under
voltage, negative voltage, over current and under voltage
lockout. The RT8167A is available in a WQFN-48L 6x6
small foot print package.
