NO Load Offset (Platform)
RT8884B provides no load offset for platform users. Users
can disable this function by pulling the SET3 pin to ground.
Figure 22 shows a voltage divider used to set no load
offset voltage. No load offset voltage setting is :

Figure 22. No Load Offset Circuit
Phase Disable (Before POR)
The number of active phases is determined by the internal
circuitry that monitors the ISENxN voltages during start-
up. Normally, the VR operates as a 4-phase PWM
controller. Pulling ISEN4N to VCC programs a 3-phase
operation, pulling ISEN3N and ISEN4N to VCC programs
a 2-phase operation, and pulling ISEN2N, ISEN3N and
ISEN4N to VCC programs a 1-phase operation. Before
POR, VR detects whether the voltages of ISEN2N,
ISEN3N and ISEN4N are higher than

respectively to decide how many phases should be active.
Phase selection is only active during POR. When POR =
high, the number of active phases is determined and
latched. The unused ISENxP pins are recommended to
be connected to VCC and unused PWM pins can be left
floating.
