NCP5203
2−in−1 DDR Power
Controller
The NCP5203 2−in−1 DDR Power Controller is a complete power
solution for an ACPI compliant high current DDR memory system.
This IC combines the efficiency of a PWM controller for the VDDQ
supply with the simplicity of linear regulator for the VTT
termination voltage. The NCP5203 contains a synchronous PWM
buck controller for driving two external NFETs to form the DDR
memory supply voltage (VDDQ). The 2.0 A user adjustable VTT
terminator regulator has short circuit protection. An internal power
good function monitors both the VDDQ and VTT outputs and signals
if a fault occurs. Protective features include soft−start, undervoltage
monitoring of 5VDUAL, over protection current (OCP), and thermal
shutdown. The IC is packaged in 18−lead QFN.

NCP5203
DETAILED OPERATING DESCRIPTION
General
fixed frequency Ramp waveform derived from the internal
oscillator to generate a pulse−width−modulated signal.
This PWM signal drives the external N−Channel Power
FETs via the TGDDQ and BGDDQ pins. External inductor
L and capacitor COUT1 filter the output. The VDDQ
output voltage ramps up at a pre−defined soft−start rate
each time the IC exits S5. When in normal mode, and
regulation of VDDQ is detected, signal INREGDDQ will
go high to notify the control logic block.
For enhanced efficiency, an active synchronous switch is
used to eliminate the conduction loss contributed by the
forward voltage of a diode or Schottky diode rectifier.
Adaptive non−overlap timing control of the
complementary gate drive output signals is provided to
reduce shoot−through current.
The NCP5203 2−in−1 DDR Power Controller combines
the efficiency of a VDDQ PWM controller with the
simplicity of a linear regulator for VTT termination. Both
VDDQ and VTT outputs can be user adjusted.
The inclusion of both VDDQ and VTT power good
voltage monitors, soft−start, VDDQ overvoltage and
undervoltage detection, supply undervoltage monitors, and
thermal shutdown, makes this device a total power solution
for high current DDR memory systems.
VDDQ Switching Regulator in Normal (S0) Mode
The VDDQ regulator is a switching synchronous
rectification buck controller directly driving two external
N−Channel power FETs. An external resistor divider sets
the nominal output voltage. The control architecture is
voltage mode fixed frequency PWM (300 kHz ± 12.5%)
with external compensation. The VDDQ output voltage is
divided down and fed back to the inverting input of an
internal amplifier through the FBDDQ pin to close the loop
at VDDQ = VFBDDQ × (1 + R2/R1). This amplifier
compares the feedback voltage with an internal VREF1
(= 1.25 V) to generate an error signal for the PWM
comparator. This error signal is further compared with a
Tolerance of VDDQ
The tolerance of VFBDDQ and the ratio of the external
resistor divider R2/R1 both impact the precision of VDDQ.
When the control loop is in regulation, VDDQ = VFBDDQ
× (1 + R2/R1). With a worst case (overtemperature)
VFBDDQ tolerance of ±2%, a worst case range of 2.5% for
VDDQ will be assured if the ratio R2/R1 is specified as
0.98985 ±1%.

VDDQ Regulator in Standby Mode (S3)
During S3, the VDDQ regulator operates in
asynchronous switch mode. The switching frequency is
increased to 600 kHz, the low−side FET is disabled, and the
body diode of the low side FET is used. The regulator will
operate in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) and the
switching frequency is doubled to reduce peak conduction
current.
across this resistor. This voltage is compared to the voltage
at SWDDQ pin when the TGDDQ is high after a fixed
blanking period of 500 ns to avoid false current limit
triggering. When the voltage at SWDDQ is lower than
OCDDQ, an overcurrent condition occurs, upon which all
outputs will be latched off to protect against a
short−to−ground condition on SWDDQ or VDDQ. The IC
will be reset once 5VDUAL or VDDQEN is cycled.
VDDQ Regulator Fault Protection
VDDQ Regulator Feedback Compensation
During S0 and S3, the external resistor (RL1) sets the
current limit for the high−side switch. An internal 35 A
current sink at OCDDQ pin establishes a voltage drop
The recommended compensation network is shown in
Figure 2.

NCP5203
VTT Active Terminator in Normal Mode (S0)
VTT Active Terminator Thermal Consideration
The VTT active terminator is a two−quadrant linear
regulator with two internal N−channel power FETs to
provide transient current sink and source capability up to
2.0 A. It is activated in normal mode in S0 when the
VTTEN pin is high and VDDQ is in regulation. When in the
S0 state and VTT is in regulation, signal INREGVTT will
go high to notify the control logic block. The VTT regulator
is powered from VDDQ with the internal FET’s gate drive
power derived from 5VDUAL. The VTT output voltage
can be adjusted by using an external resistor divider
connected to the REFSNS pin. This regulator is stable with
any value of output capacitor greater than 470 F, and is
insensitive to ESR ranging from 2.0 m to 400 m.
The VTT terminator is designed to handle large transient
output currents. If large currents are required for very long
duration, then care should be taken to ensure the maximum
junction temperature is not exceed. The 5x6 QFN−18 has
a thermal resistance of 35C/W (dependent on air flow,
grade of copper, and number of vias). In order to take full
advantage of this thermal capability, the thermal pad
underneath must be soldered directly to a PCB metal
substrate.
Supply Voltages Undervoltage Monitor
The IC continuously monitors 5VDUAL through the
5VDUAL pin. 5VDLGD is set high if 5VDUAL is higher
than its preset threshold (derived from VREF with
hysteresis). The IC will later latch off if 5VDUAL is in S0
providing both VDDQEN and VTTEN remain high.
VTT Active Terminator in Normal Mode (S3)
VTT output is high−impedance in S3 mode.
VTT Active Terminator Fault Protection
Thermal Shutdown
To provide protection for the internal FETs,
bi−directional current limit is implemented, preset at 2.4 A
magnitude. This current limit is also used as constant
current source during VTT startup.
If the chip junction temperature exceeds 150C, the
entire IC will shutdown. The IC resumes normal operation
only after 5VDUAL or VDDQEN is cycled.
