Applications information
The RT8884B is a 4/3/2/1 multiphase synchronous Buck
controller designed to meet Intel VR12.5 compatible CPU
specification with a serial SVID control interface. The
controller uses an ADC to implement all kinds of settings
to save a total number of pins for easily using and
increasing PCB space utilization. RT8884B is used in
notebook, desktop computer and server.
G-NAVP
TM
Control Mode
The RT8884B adopts the G-NAVP
TM
controller, which is a
current mode constant on-time control with DC offset
cancellation. The approach can not only improve DC offset
problem for increasing system accuracy but also provide
fast transient response. For the RT8884B, when current
feedback signal reaches comp signal to generate an on-
time width to achieve PWM modulation. Figure 1 shows
the basic G-NAVP
TM
behavior waveforms in continuous
conduct mode (CCM).

Diode Emulation Mode (DEM)
As well-known, the dominate power loss is switching
related loss during light load, hence VR needs to be
operated in asynchronous mode (or called discontinuous
conduct mode, DCM) to reduce switching related loss
since switching frequency is dependent on loading in the
asynchronous mode. RT8884B can operate in Diode
Emulation Mode (DEM) in order to improve light load
efficiency. In DEM operation, the behavior of the low side
MOSFET(s) needs to work like a diode, that is, the low
side MOSFET(s) will be turned on when the phase voltage
is a negative value, i.e. the inductor current follows from
source to drain of low side MOSFET(s). The low side
MOSFET(s) will be turned off when phase voltage is a
positive value, i.e. reversed current is not allowed. Figure
2 shows the control behavior in DEM. Figure 3 shows the
G-NAVP
TM
operation in DEM to illustrate the control
behaviors. When the load decreases, the discharge time
of output capacitors increases during UGATE and LGATE
are turned off. Hence, the switching frequency and
switching loss will be reduced to improve efficiency in
light load condition.
