RT9245

RT9245 is a multi-phase buck DC/DC controller integrated with all control functions for Intel® GHz CPU which is VRD10.X-compliant. The RT9245 could be operated with 2, 3 or 4 buck switching stages operating in interleaved phase set automatically. The multiphase architecture provides high output current while maintaining low power dissipation on power devices and low stress on input and output capacitors. The high equivalent operating frequency also reduces the component dimension and the output voltage ripple in load transient.

RT9245 implements both voltage and current loops to achieve good regulation, response and power stage thermal balance.

RT9245 applies the DCR sensing technology newly. The RT9245 extracts the ESR of output inductor as sense component to deliver a precise load line regulation and good thermal balance for next generation processor application.

Current sense setting, droop tuning, VCORE initial offset and over current protection are independent on compensation circuit of voltage loop. The feature greatly facilitates the flexibility of CPU power supply design and tuning. The DAC output of RT9245 supports VRD10.x with 6-bit VID input, precise offset value & smooth VCORE transient at VID jump. The IC monitors the VCORE voltage for PGOOD and over-voltage protection. Soft-start, overcurrent protection and programmable under-voltage lockout are also provided to assure the safety of microprocessor and power system. The RT9245 comes to a small footprint package TSSOP-28.
