Description
The RT8881A is a multi-phases PWM controller. Moreover, it is compliant with AMD SVI2 Voltage Regulator Specification to support both CPU core (VDD) and Northbridge portion (VDDNB) of the CPU. The RT8881A adopts the G-NAVPTM (Green-Native AVP), which is a Richtek’s proprietary topology. The G-NAVP makes it an easy setting controller to meet all AMD AVP (Adaptive Voltage Positioning) requirements.
1. Phase Shifting: In a multi-phase power delivery system, the PWM controller divides the load current into several phases by controlling multiple power stages (also known as power channels or phases). Each phase operates with a slightly different phase shift compared to the others. Phase shifting reduces the output voltage ripple and helps distribute the load evenly across the phases.
2. PWM Control: The PWM controller generates control signals for each phase. These control signals determine when each phase’s power stage should turn on and off. By adjusting the duty cycle (the ratio of on-time to off-time) of these control signals, the controller regulates the output voltage to the desired level.
3. Load Balancing: Multi-phase power delivery systems improve efficiency and reduce voltage ripple by distributing the load current across several phases. This load balancing helps minimize the stress on individual power components, such as inductors and capacitors, and allows for more efficient power delivery.
