(the definition of v droop will be described later in the load line section). the first ramping up duration of v out (t2) ramps v out to v boot . after v out ramps to v boot , the RT8867A stays in this state for 800 s (t3), waiting for a valid vid code sent by the cpu. after receiving the valid vid code, v out continues ramping up or down to the voltage specified by vid code. after v out ramps to v eap = v dac ? v droop , the RT8867A stays in this state for 1600 s (t5) and then asserts vr_rdy = high. the ramping slew rate of t2 and t4 is controlled by the external capacitor connected to ss pin. the voltage of the ss pin will always be veap + 0.7v, where the mentioned 0.7v is the typical turn-on threshold of an internal power switch. before vr_rdy = high, the 0 200 400 600 800 1000 1200 020406080 r rt (k ) switching frequency (khz) 1

(a) transient boost circuit output current sensing the RT8867A provides a low input offset current sense amplifier (csa) to monitor the output current. the output current of csa (i x ) is used for load line control, dynamic phase control and over current protection. in this average inductor current sensing topology, r s and c s must be set according to the equation below : xntc ss s requ = r //r rc l dcr r n requ = + figure 6 is the current sense circuit. where the constant n is a set maximum operation phase number, not affected by the dynamic phase control machine. then, the output current of csa will follow the equation below : out x csn idcr i nr = figure 6. circuit for current sensing load line the RT8867A utilizes inductor dcr current sense technique for load line control function. the sensed output current is proportionally mirrored from the i x signal to the r droop resistor to establish the voltage of v droop . v droop subtracted from v dac generates v eap . the voltage control loop is shown in figure 3. because i x is a ptc (positive temperature coefficient) current, an ntc (negative temperature coefficient) resistor is needed to connect in parallel with the capacitor c s . if the ntc resistor is properly selected to compensate the temperature coefficient of i x , the v droop voltage will be proportional to i out without temperature effect. in the RT8867A, the positive input of error amplifier is v eap and v out will follow ? v dac ? v droop ? . thus, the output voltage which decreases linearly with i out is obtained. the load line is defined as : out droop droop out out csn vv dcrr 4 ll(load line) ii nr ? == = ? basically, the resistance of r droop sets the resistance of the load line. the temperature coefficient of r droop compensates the temperature effect of the load line. connecting vrsel pin to gnd enables load line adjustment function. when load line adjustment function is enabled, the current i x is decreased by 10mv/r csn . note that the minimum output current sensing range is also reduced by 10mv/r csn when load line adjustment function is enabled. i out v out transient boost l dcr l dcr l dcr r s r s r s r x + - r csn csn csp csa ntc (current sense amplifier) i x phn ph1 ph2 c out r l v core i out c s load line adjustment
