RT9229
Advanced Dual PWM and Dual Linear Power Controller
General Description
The RT9229 is a 4-in-one power controller optimized
for high-performance microprocessor and computer
applications. The IC integrates two PWM controllers,
a linear regulator and a linear controller as well as
monitoring and protection functions into a 28-pin
SOP package. The first PWM controller regulates the
microprocessor core voltage with a synchronous
buck converter, while the second PWM controller
supplies the 3.3V power with a standard buck
converter. The linear regulator provides power for the
clock driver circuit and the linear controller regulates
power for the GTL bus.
The RT9229 features an Intel-compatible, TTL 5-bit
programmable DAC that adjusts the core voltage
from 2.1V to 3.5V in 0.1V increments and from 1.3V
to 2.05V in 0.05V steps. The second PWM controller
is user-adjustable for output level between 3.0V and
3.5V with
鹵2.5%
accuracy. The 5-bit DAC has a
typical
鹵1%
tolerance. The linear regulator uses an
internal drive device to provide 2.5V
鹵2.5%
output
voltage. The linear controller drives an external N-
channel MOSFET or a low cost NPN bipolar
transistor to provide 1.5V
鹵2.5%.
The RT9229 monitors all the output voltages. A
Power-good signal is issued when the core voltage is
within
鹵10%
of the DAC setting and the other levels
are above their under-voltage levels. Additional build-
in over-voltage protection for the core output uses the
lower MOSFET to prevent output voltage above
115% of the DAC setting. The PWM over-current
function monitors the output current using the voltage
drop across the upper MOSFET鈥檚 R
DS(ON)
which
eliminates the need for a current sensing resistor.
