RT6543A/B
High Efficiency Single Synchronous Buck PWM Controller
for INTEL VCCIN AUX ICL and TGL
General Description
Features
The RT6543A/B PWM controller provides high efficiency,
excellent transient response, and high DC output accuracy
for stepping down high voltage batteries to generate low
voltage CPU core, I/O, and chipset RAM.
The RT6543A/B supports on chip voltage programming
function between 0V and 1.8V by controlling VID1/VID0
inputs.
Compared with conventional current-mode PWMs, the
RT6543A/B achieves high efficiency without any current
sensing resistors. Furthermore, the RT6543A/B has ability
to drive synchronous rectifier MOSFETs and enters diode
emulation mode at light load condition that also save lots
of power consumption. Besides, the RT6543A/B equips
with UVLO, OVP, UVP, OTP and current limit protection.
All above functions are integrated in a WQFN-20L-3x3
package.

1
CS_DIS
Current limit setting. Connect a resistor from CS pin to AGND for overcurrent
protection. CS pin sources a CS current which is 6A (typ) at TA = 25oC to
define maximum allowable output current. CS terminal voltage VCS is
limited from 0.5V to 2.8V over all operation temperature.

VOUT
Power good indicator output for VCCIN_AUX. This open-drain is pulled low
as UVP, OVP, OTP, EN low and output voltage is not regulated (such as
before soft-start). An external pull-up resistor to VCC or other external rail is
required, in which the pull-up resistor is recommended from 10k to 100k.
Internal error amplifier output. For loop compensator application.
Internal error amplifier input. For loop compensator application.
Return ground for VCCIN_AUX from CPU side.
VCCIN_AUX feedback input. This pin is unit feedback for AUX regulation
FSWSEL
VCCIN_AUX setting pin. Use this pin to adjust AUX rail frequency setting for
different LC combination. (High state: Direct pull high to VCC, Hi-Z state:
Floating, Low state: Direct connect to GND). Default switching frequency is
floating, 600kHz. Anytime, make sure FSWSEL VCC < 0.5V.
10
BOOT
Supply bootstrap capacitor output pin. The bootstrap capacitor is charged by
this pin while the low-side MOSFET is turned on. Therefore, the bootstrap
capacitor can provide the energy to turn on the high-side MOSFET. Connect
this pin through the bootstrap capacitor to the PH pin.
11
UGATE
Upper gate driver with sink and source output. Connect to the gate of the
high-side MOSFET through a short and low inductance path.
12
PH
Switch node of AUX. Connect to the power inductor. For the high-side gate
driver return path, connect a capacitor from PH to BOOT. Beside, this pin is
noisy, keep the sensitive trace or signal away from PH.

LGATE
Low-side gate driver output pin. Connect this pin to the gate of low-side
MOSFET. Notice, DO NOT connect the resistor RG_EXT between LGATE
and gate terminal of low-side MOSFET, otherwise it might cause undesired
shoot-through since the LGATE voltage is monitored for shoot-through
protection.
14
PGND
Power GND. AGND and PGND are connected with a short trace and at only
one point to reduce circulating currents.
PVCC
Bias voltage for internal gate driver. The required bias voltage for PVCC is
5V typ. For avoiding noise disturbance, the supplied bias voltage must be
stable, Beside, a RC filter (R = 2.2/0603 and C = 1F/0603) from bias
voltage to PVCC pin is necessary which should be placed as close as
physically possible to PVCC pin.
16
VCC
Bias voltage for control logic. The required bias voltage for VCC is 5V typ.
For avoiding noise disturbance, the supplied bias voltage must be stable,
Beside, a RC filter (R = 2.2/0603 and C = 1F/0603) from bias voltage to
VCC pin is necessary which should be placed as close as physically
possible to VCC pin.
17
VID1
VCCIN_AUX VID control signal. Adjust AUX output voltage (0V, 1.1V, 1.65V
and 1.8V)
18
VID0
VCCIN_AUX VID control signal. Adjust AUX output voltage (0V, 1.1V, 1.65V
and 1.8V)
19
EN
Enable control input. As voltage is lower than 0.3V, RT6543A/B is in
shutdown mode and all power rails are disabled. As RT6543A/B is higher
than 1V, RT6543A/B is woken up.
20
VSYS
System voltage sense. Connect this pin to input voltage for UVLO monitor
and controller’s on-time setting. For avoiding any noise to disturb on-time
setting, a RC filter (R = 2.2/0603 and C = 0.1F/0603) is required from
input voltage to VSYS.
21 (Exposed pad)
GND
Exposed pad for package. Electrically isolated. Directly solder to the large
PGND plane and use thermal vias to connect PGND of other layers for
thermal resistor reduction

Operation
The RT6543A/B is a constant on-time synchronous stepdown controller. In normal operation, the high-side NMOSFET is turned on when the output voltage is lower
than VREF, and is turned off after the internal one-shot
timer expires. While the high-side N-MOSFET is turned
off, the low-side N-MOSFET is turned on to conduct the
inductor current until next cycle begins.
Current Limit
Soft-Start (SS)
Over-Voltage Protection (OVP) & Under-Voltage
Protection (UVP)
For internal soft-start function, an internal current source
charges an internal capacitor to build the soft-start ramp
voltage. The output voltage will track the internal ramp
voltage during soft-start interval.
PGOOD
The power good output is an open-drain architecture. When
the soft-start is finished, the PGOOD open-drain output
will be high impedance.

The current limit circuit employs a unique “valley” current
sensing algorithm. If the magnitude of the current sense
signal at PHASE is above the current limit threshold, the
PWM is not allowed to initiate a new cycle. The current
limit threshold can be set with an external voltage setting
resistor on the CS_DIS pin.
The output voltage is continuously monitored for overvoltage and under-voltage protection. When the output
voltage exceeds 2.2V (Typ.), UGATE goes low and LGATE
is forced high. When the feedback voltage is less than
60% of output voltage, under-voltage protection is triggered
and then both UGATE and LGATE gate drivers are forced
low. The controller is latched until VCC is re-supplied and
exceeds the POR rising threshold voltage or EN is reset.
