CM3121
Dual Linear Voltage Regulator for DDR-I and DDR-II Memory
Features
Product Description
•
The CM3121 provides an integrated power solution for
DDR-I and DDR-II memory systems in consumer electronics applications. The CM3121 is ideal for a 2.8V to 3.6V
supply for DDR-I memory and 2.2V to 2.8V for DDR-II memory. The CM3121 features two independent linear regulators for VDDQ and VTT supply regulation. The default
voltage for VDDQ is 2.5V. The VDDQ regulator SENSE pin
allows for setting VDDQ in the 2.2V to 2.8V range, or DDR-II
memories from 1.7V to 1.9V. The VTT regulator output is
always half the VDDQ voltage, derived internally. A capacitor
should be connected to each of the two outputs.

Fully integrated power solution for DDR memory
ICs
Ideal for DDR-I (2.5VDDQ) and DDR-II (1.8VDDQ)
Lowest system cost and smallest footprint with just
two external output capacitors
Two linear regulators:
- VDDQ regulator with a maximum output current
of 1.5A shared by DRAM and VTT regulator
- source-sink VTT regulator with maximum output current of 0.5A (DDR-I) or 0.3A (DDR-II)
Fault output indicates overcurrent condition in
either regulator, under voltage lock-out and overtemperature condition
Reverse current protection if host is powered off
PSOP-8 package with integrated heat spreader
Lead-free versions available
Applications
•
When EN_DDR is set high, the two DDR regulators are disabled to minimize overall system power dissipation such as
when memory is in standby.
The FAULT pin goes low whenever either of the two regulators goes into current limit mode, the input voltage drops too
far or if overtemp occurs.
The CM3121 is available in a PSOP-8 package that has
excellent thermal dissipation. It is available with optional
lead-free finishing.
DDR-I and DDR-II memory power for:
− Set Top Boxes, DVD Players, Games
− Digital TVs, Flat Panel Displays
− Printers, Digital Projectors
− Embedded systems
− Communications systems

CM3121
Functional Description
The CM3121 provides power for DDR-I/DDR-II memories from two voltage regulators on-chip. There is an
over-temperature thermal shutdown if any of the regulators overheat. Each regulator also has reverse current protection in the event of any being shut down.
The VDDQ linear regulator can provide 2.5V/1.8V for
DDR-I/-II memory at up to 1.5A. An external feedback
resistor divider R1 and R2, when connected to the
SENSE_VDDQ pin, enables selection of VDDQ output
voltages from 2.2V to 2.8V for use with DDR-I memories requiring other than 2.5V for VDDQ (see Figure 5).
In this mode, the voltage on VDDQ is detemined as follows:
(R1+R2)
VDDQ = 1.25V x ---------------------R2
When SENSE_VDDQ is connected to GND or left open,
VDDQ is fixed at 2.50V (and VTT at 1.25V). For DDR-II
operation, VDDQ can be set from 1.7V to 1.9V. The VTT
regulator is a linear source-sink regulator powered
from the VDDQ output that supplies the VTT supply
required by DDR-I memory termination resistors. This
regulator sinks or sources up to 0.5A. The VTT output
voltage accurately tracks VDDQ/2 to 1%. When there is
no VCC provided, VTT is powered down and its output
is 0V. This regulator has overload current limiting of
0.6A minimum.
The EN_DDR pin when set active low enables the
CM3121 to operate in normal mode with VDDQ and VTT
active. When EN_DDR is high, the CM3121 is disabled
and both VDDQ and VTT are set to 0V.
The FAULT output is normally at logic high but when
an overcurrent occurs on either VDDQ or VTT outputs,
FAULT goes active low, and remains low as long as
the overcurrent fault persists. Also if the chip goes into
thermal overload, or the input voltage VCC drops sufficiently that the chip goes into Under Voltage Lock-Out
mode (UVLO), FAULT goes active low, and remains
low as long as the condition persists.

Performance Information (cont’d)
Typical Thermal Characteristics
PCB Layout Considerations
The overall junction to ambient thermal resistance
(θJA) for device power dissipation (PD) consists primarily of two paths in series. The first path is the junction
to the case (θJC) which is defined by the package style,
and the second path is case to ambient (θCA) thermal
resistance which is dependent on board layout. The
final operating junction temperature for any set of conditions can be estimated by the following thermal equation:
The CM3121-02SB/SH has a heat spreader attached
to the bottom of the PSOP-8 package in order for heat
to be transferred more easily from the package to the
PCB. The heat spreader is a copper pad of dimensions
just smaller than the package itself. By positioning the
matching pad on the PCB top layer to connect to the
spreader during manufacturing, the heat will be transferred between the two pads. The drawing below
shows the recommended PCB layout. Note that there
are six vias on either side to allow the heat to dissipate
into the ground and power planes on the inner layers of
the PCB. Vias can be placed underneath the chip, but
this can cause blockage of the solder. The ground and
power planes should be at least 2 sq in. of copper by
the vias. It also helps dissipation if the chip is positioned away from the edge of the PCB, and not near
other heat-dissipating devices. A good thermal link
from the PCB pad to the rest of the PCB will assure the
best heat transfer from the CM3121 package to ambient, θJA, of around 40°C/W.
TJUNC = TAMB + PD ( θJC ) + PD ( θCA )
= TAMB + PD ( θJA)
When a CM3121-02SB/SH (PSOP-8) is mounted on a
double-sided printed circuit board with two square
inches of copper allocated for "heat spreading," the
resulting θJA is 40°C/W. Based on the over temperature limit of 150° C with an ambient of 70°C, the available power of this package will be:
150° C – 70° C

Application Information
Other Applications
The CM3121 can be used without any external resistors if a VDDQ voltage of 2.5V is required by connecting
the SENSE_VDDQ pin to GND.
Also in applications where a reference voltage (VREF)
is required, a PCB trace directly from the VTT pin can
be used. The VTT output pin has an error relative to
VDDQ/2 of up to +/-25mV, which is well within most
DDR system specs of +/-50mV. This is because the

VTT output internally tracks the VDDQ output very
closely due to the matched on-chip resistors R that tap
down from the VDDQ rail, and the low offset voltage of
the VTT regulator. It is recommended that the VREF

Application Information (cont’d)
DDR-II Application
For DDR-II applications, it is recommended that a
lower input voltage than 3.3V be applied to reduce
overall power dissipation. The input voltage can be as
low as 2.1V worst case, so an input voltage of 2.4V
±10% would be the best input voltage for the least
power dissipation. Also to obtain a VDDQ voltage of
1.8V, a resistor divider comprising R1 = 56K and R2 =
130K would result in an output voltage of 1.79V for
VDDQ, and a VTT of 0.895V.

Memory #
The maximum current IDDQ for the CM3121 in a DDRII application is 1.5V, and the maximum for ITT is 0.3V.
This should be satisfactory for most DDR- II applications because the DDR- II memories do not require a
VTT, so the only current needed is for either a reference voltage or a controller input.
