RT8125F/G
High Efficiency Single Synchronous Buck PWM Controller
General Description
The RT8125F/G PWM controller provides high efficiency,
excellent transient response, and high DC output accuracy
needed for CPU core, I/O, and chipset RAM supplies in
notebook computers.
Richtek Mach Response
TM
technology is specifically
designed for providing 100ns
“instant-on”
response to
load transients while maintaining a relatively constant
switching frequency.
The RT8125F/G 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. The Buck conversion allows this device
to directly step down high voltage batteries at the highest
possible efficiency. The RT8125F/G provides an 1% high
accuracy 0.8V reference voltage with minimum 1mA
source/sink current for high accuracy output application.

Pin Function
Bootstrap supply for high side gate driver. Connect a capacitor between this
pin and the PHASE pin.
Gate drive output for the external high side MOSFET.
Switch node. It behaves as the current sense comparator input for low side
MOSFET R
DS(ON)
sensing and reference voltage for on-time generation.
Gate drive output for the low side External MOSFET. Connect a resistor
(R
OCSET
) between this pin and GND to set the output current limit level. If
R
OCSET
is not present , or the setting threshold greater than 400mV, the OC
threshold is internally present to 315mV (typ.)
Supply voltage input. It provides the power for the Buck controller, the low
side driver and the bootstrap circuit for high side driver. Bypass to GND with
a 4.7F ceramic capacitor.
V
OUT
feedback voltage input. Connect the FB to a resistive voltage divider
from V
OUT
to GND to set the output voltage from 0.3V to 3.3V
Enable control input.
Open-drain power good indicator. High impedance indicates that power is
good.
Reference input. Connect a current console to REFIN pin, and connect a
resistor between REFIN and REFOUT to tune up/down FB reference
voltage.
Reference voltage output. It provides a 1% high accuracy reference 0.8V
with 2mA source/sink ability. Bypass to GND with a maximum 6.8nF ceramic
capacitor.
Ground. The exposed pad must be soldered to a large PCB and connected
to GND for maximum power dissipation.

Operation
The RT8125F/G is suitable for low external component count configuration with appropriate amount of Equivalent Series
Resistance (ESR) capacitor(s) at the output. The output ripple valley voltage is monitored at a feedback point voltage.
The synchronous high side MOSFET is turned on at the beginning of each cycle. After the internal one-shot timer
expires, the MOSFET is turned off. The pulse width of this one-shot is determined by the converter's input and output
voltages to keep the frequency fairly constant over the entire input voltage range. Another one-shot sets a minimum off-
time (400ns typ.).
The on-time comparator has two inputs, one is from the output voltage, the other is from the input voltage. The on-time
of the high side switch is designed to be directly proportional to the output voltage and inversely proportional to the input
voltage. The implementation results in a nearly constant switching frequency without the need of a clock generator.
