RT9991
Power Management IC for SSD
General Description
The RT9991 is a 3-CH PMIC for SSD (Solid-State Drive).
It integrates 3 synchronous buck converters and one
voltage detector.
The RT9991 provides 3 independent enable pins for
sequence control and auto discharge when powered off
on the power line of a NAND Flash.
The frequency can be up to 1.5MHz for Buck 1and Buck
2, and up to 2MHz for Buck 3, hence allowing the use of
smaller sized inductors to meet the space and height limit
in handheld applications.
To maximize power utilization, the RT9991 is designed
with extremely low quiescent current. The buck converter
can consume down to 70μA when operating in standby
mode.
The RT9991 is available in a VQFN-32L 5x5 package.
