WQFN-12L 2x2
General Description
The RT8228A PWM controller provides high efficiency,
excellent transient response, and high DC output accuracy
needed for stepping down high voltage batteries to
generate low voltage CPU core, I/O, and 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 RT8228A 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 and enter diode emulation mode at
light load condition. The buck conversion allows this device
to directly step down high voltage batteries at the highest
possible efficiency. The Audio Skipping Mode (ASM)
setting maintains the switching frequency above 25kHz,
which eliminates noise in audio applications. The RT8228A
is intended for CPU core, chipset, DRAM, or other low
voltage supplies as low as 0.5V. The RT8228A is available
in a WQFN-12L 2x2 package.
