RT8880B
Dual-Output PWM Controller with 3 Integrated Drivers for
AMD SVI2 Mobile CPU Power Supply
General Description
The RT8880B is a 3 + 2 phases PWM controller, and is
compliant with AMD SVI2 Voltage Regulator Specification
to support both CPU core (VDD) and Northbridge portion
of the CPU (VDDNB). The RT8880B features CCRCOT
(Constant Current Ripple Constant On-Time) with G-NAVP
(Green-Native AVP), which is Richtek's proprietary
topology. The G-NAVP makes it an easy setting controller
to meet all AMD AVP (Adaptive Voltage Positioning) VDD/
VDDNB requirements. The droop is easily programmed
by setting the DC gain of the error amplifier. With proper
compensation, the load transient response can achieve
optimized AVP performance. The controller also uses the
interface to issue VOTF Complete and to send digitally
encoded voltage and current values for the VDD and
VDDNB domains. It can operate in single phase and diode
emulation mode and reach up to 90% efficiency in different
modes according to different loading conditions. The
RT8880B provides special purpose offset capabilities by
pin setting. The RT8880B also provides power good
indication, over-current indication (OCP_L) and dual OCP
mechanism for AMD SVI2 CPU core and NB. It also
features complete fault protection functions including over-
voltage, under-voltage and negative-voltage protections.

Pin Function
PWM Outputs for Channel 3 VDD Controller.
VDD Controller On-Time Setting. Connect this pin to the converter input
voltage, VIN, through a resistor, RTON, to set the on-time of UGATE and
also the output voltage ripple of VDD controller.
Positive Current Sense Input of Channel 1, 2 and 3 for VDD Controller.
Negative Current Sense Input of Channel 1, 2 and 3 for VDD Controller.
VDD Controller Voltage Sense Input. This pin is connected to the terminal
of VDD controller output voltage.

input of the error amplifier for the VDD controller.
Compensation Node of the VDD Controller.
Return Ground of VDD and VDDNB Controller. This pin is the common
negative input of output voltage differential remote sense for VDD and
VDDNB controllers.

SVI pins.
System Power Good Input. If PWROK is low, the SVI interface is disabled
and VR returns to BOOT-VID state with initial load line slope and initial
offset. If PWROK is high, the SVI interface is running and the DAC
decodes the received serial VID codes to determine the output voltage.
