High Efficiency, Main Power Supply Controller
for Notebook Computers
General Description
The RT8239A/B/C is a dual step down, Switch Mode Power
Supply (SMPS) controller which generates logic supply
voltages for battery powered systems. It includes two
Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) controllers adjustable
from 2V to 5.5V and also two fixed 5V/3.3V linear
regulators. One of the controllers (LDO5) provides
automatic switch over to the BYP1 input connected to
the main SMPS1 output for maximized efficiency. An
optional external charge pump can be monitored through
SECFB (RT8239B/C). Other features include on board
power up sequencing, a power good output, internal soft-
start, and a soft discharge output that prevents negative
voltage during shutdown.
A constant on-time PWM control scheme operates without
sense resistors and assures fast load transient response
while maintaining nearly constant switching frequency. To
eliminate noise in audio applications, an ultrasonic mode
is included, which maintains the switching frequency
above 25kHz. Moreover, a diode emulation mode
maximizes efficiency for light load applications. The
SMPS1/SMPS2 switching frequency can be adjustable
from 200kHz/233kHz to 400kHz/466kHz respectively.
The RT8239A/B/C is available in a WQFN-20L 3x3
package, and operates over an extended temperature range
from −40°C to 85°C.
