RT9641A/B General Description Triple Linear Regulator Controller Support ACPI Control Interface Features The RT9641A/B, paired with either the RT9230 or RT9231 simplifies the implementation of ACPI-compliant designs in microprocessor and computer applications. The IC integrates two linear controllers and a low-current pass transistor, as well as the monitoring and control functions into a 16-pin SOIC package. One linear controller generates the 3.3VDUAL voltage plane from an ATX power supply's 5VSB output during sleep states (S3,S4/S5), powering the PCI slots through an external pass transistor, as instructed by the status of the 3.3VDUAL enable pin. An additional pass transistor is used to switch in the ATX 3.3V output for PCI operation during S0 and S1 (active) operating states. The second linear controller supplies the computer system's 2.5V/3.3V memory power through an external pass transistor in active states. During S3 state, an integrated pass transistor supplies the 2.5V/ 3.3V sleep-state power. A third controller powers up a 5VDUAL plane by switching in the ATX 5V output in active states, or the ATX 5VSB in sleep states.

In active states, the 3.3VDUAL linear regulator uses an external N-channel pass MOSFET to connect the output (VOUT1) directly to the 3.3V input supplied by an ATX (or equivalent) power supply, while incurring minimal losses. In sleep state, the 3.3VDUAL output is supplied from the ATX 5VSB through a NPN transistor, also external to the controller. Active state power delivery for the 2.5V/3.3V or 2.6V/3.43V VMEM output is done through an external NPN or a NMOS transistor. In sleep states, conduction on this output is transferred to an internal pass transistor. The 5VDUAL output is powered through two external MOS transistors. In sleep states, a PMOS (or PNP) transistor conducts the current from the ATX 5VSB output, while in active states, current flow is transferred to a NMOS transistor connected to the ATX 5V output. Similar to the 3.3VDUAL output, the operation of the 5VDUAL output is dictated not only by the status of the S3 and S5 pins, but that of the EN5VDL pin as well.

This pin also provides the base bias current for all the external NPN transistors controlled by the IC. The voltage at this pin monitored for power-on reset (POR) purposes. DLA (Pin 10) Connect this pin to the gates of suitable N-MOSFETs, which in active states, are used to switch in the ATX 3.3V and 5V outputs into the 3.3VDUAL and 5VDUAL outputs, respectively. EN3VDLand EN5VDL (Pin 2 and 5) 5VDLSB (Pin 11) These pins control the logic governing the output behavior in response to S3 and S4/S5 requests. These are digital inputs whose status can only be changed during active states operation or during chip shutdown (SS pin grounded by external open-drain device). The input information is latched-in when entering a sleep state, as well as following 5VSB POR release or exit from shutdown. Connect this pin to the gate of a suitable P-MOSFET or bipolar PNP. In sleep states, this transistor is switched on, connecting the ATX 5VSB output to the 5VDUAL regulator output. When PNP is used, it is recommanded to use a 100Ω base resistor for base current limiting. 5VDL (Pin 12) Connect this pin to the 5VDUAL output (VOUT3). In either operating state, the voltage at this pin is provided through a fully on MOS transistor. This pin is also monitored for under-voltage events. 3V3DLSB (Pin 3) Connect this pin to the base of a suitable NPN transistor. In sleep states, this transistor is used to regulate the voltage at 3V3DL pin to 3.3V. SS (Pin 13) 3V3DL (Pin 4) Connect a small ceramic capacitor (0.1µF recommended) from this pin to GND. The internal Soft-start (SS) current source along with the external capacitor creates a voltage ramp used to control the ramp-up of the output voltages. Pulling this pin low with an open-drain device shuts down all the output as well as forces the FAULT pin low. The CSS capacitor is also used to provide a controlled S4/S5 to active transition delay time. Connect this pin to the 3.3V dual output (VOUT1). In sleep states, the voltage at this pin is regulated to 3.3V; in active states, ATX 3.3V output is delivered to this node through a fully on N-MOS transistor. During all operating states, this pin is monitored for under-voltage events. S3 and S5 (Pin 6 and 7) These pins switch the IC's operating state from active (S0, S1) to S3 and S4/S5 sleep states. Connect S3 to SLP_S3 and S5 to SLP_S5. These are digital inputs featuring internal 50kΩ(typical) resistor pull-up to 5VSB. Internal circuitry de-glitches the S3 pin for disturbances. 12V (Pin 14) Connect this pin to the ATX (or equivalent) 12V output. This pin is used to monitor the status of the power supply as well as provide bias for the NMOS-compatible output drivers. 12V presence at the chip in the absence of bias voltage, or severe 12V brownout during active states (S0, S1) operation can lead to chip misbehavior. RT9641A/B refuses entering active state before 12V power ready. GND (Pin 8) Signal ground for the IC. All voltage levels are measured with respect to this pin. FAULT/MSEL (Pin 9) DRV2 (Pin 15) This is a multiplexed function pin allowing the setting of the memory output voltage to either 2.5V(2.6V) or 3.3V(3.43V) (for RDRAM or SDRAM memory systems). The memory voltage setting is latched-in when SS pin voltage goes up to 0.8V (typically 5ms after POR). In case of an under-voltage on any of the outputs or an over temperature event, this pin is used to report the fault For the 2.5V RDRAM systems, connect this pin to the base of a suitable NPN transistor. This pass transistor regulates the 2.5V(2.6V) output from the ATX 3.3V during active states operation. For 3.3V SDRAM systems connect this pin to the gate of a suitable N-MOS transistor or the base of a suitable NPN transistor. 6 RT9641A/B VSEN2 (Pin 16) Connect this pin to the memory output (VOUT2). In sleep states, this pin is regulated to 2.5V(2.6V) or 3.3V(3.43V) (based on RSEL) through an internal pass transistor capable of delivering 300mA (Typically). The active-state voltage at this pin is regulated through an external NPN or NMOS transistor connected at the DRV2 pin for both 2.5V(2.6V) and 3.3V(3.43V) setting. During all operating states, the voltage at this pin is monitored for under-voltage events. Applications Information Table 1. 3.3VDUAL Output (VOUT1) Truth Table Operation The RT9641A/B controls 3 output voltages. It is designed for microprocessor computer applications with 3.3V, 5V, 5VSB, and 12V outputs from an ATX power supply. The IC is composed of two linear controllers supplying the PCI slots' 3.3VAUX power (3.3VDUAL, VOUT1) and the 2.5V RDRAM or 3.3V SDRAM memory power (2.5V/3.3V(2.6V/ 3.43V) VMEM, VOUT2), and a dual switch controller supplying the 5VDUAL voltage (VOUT3). In addition, all the control and monitoring functions necessary for complete ACPI implementation are integrated into the RT9641A/B.

The RT9641A/B automatically initializes upon receipt of input power. The Power-On Reset (POR) function continually monitors the 5VSB input supply voltage, initiating soft-start operation after it exceeds its POR threshold (in S4/S5 states). The 5VSB POR trip event is also used to lock in the memory voltage setting based on RSEL. As seen in Table 1, EN3VDL simply controls whether the 3.3VDUAL plane remains powered up during S4/S5 sleep state. Table 2. 5VDUAL Output (VOUT3) Truth Table EN5VDL S5 S3 5VDL The RT9641A/B forces the operation mode to start from S4/S5 states at POR releasing. Operational Truth Tables The EN3VDL and EN5VDL pins offer a host of choices in terms of the overall system architecture and supported features. Tables 1~3 describe the truth combinations pertaining to each of the three outputs.

Very similarly, Table 2 details the fact that EN5VDL status controls whether the 5VDUAL plane supports sleeps states. 7 RT9641A/B Table 3. 2.5V/3.3V(2.6V/3.43V) VMEM Output (VOUT2) Truth Table S4/S5 Another condition that could set off the FAULT flag is chip over-temperature. If the RT9641A/B reaches an internal temperature of 145°C (typical), the FAULT flag is set (FAULT/MSEL pulled high), but the chip continues to operate until the temperature reaches 155°C (typical), when unconditional shutdown of all outputs takes place. The thermal shutdown can be released with a re-soft-start when the chip cools down. S0, S1 States(Active) Shutdown 3.3V S3 1 Note Maintains Previous State 0 0V In case of a FAULT condition that might endanger the computer system, or at any other time, the RT9641A/B can be shut down by pulling the SS pin below the specified shutdown level (typically 0.8V) with an open drain or open collector device capable of sinking a minimum of 2mA. Pulling the SS pin low effectively shuts down all the pass elements. Upon release of the SS pin, the RT9641A/B undergoes a new soft-start cycle and resumes normal operation in accordance to the ATX supply and control pins status. RSEL S5 S3 2.5V/3.3V Comments 1kΩ 1 1 2.5V/2.6V 1kΩ 1 0 2.5V S3 1kΩ 0 1 Note Maintains Previous State 1KΩ 0 0 0V 10kΩ 1 1 3.3V/3.43V 10kΩ 1 0 10kΩ 0 10kΩ 0 S0, S1 States(Active) S4/S5 Note: Combination not allowed. As seen in Table 3, 2.5V/3.3V(2.6V/3.43V) VMEM output is maintained in S3 (Suspend-To-RAM), but not in S4/S5 state. The dual-voltage support accommodates both SDRAM as well as RDRAM type memories. Fault Protection Layout Considerations All the outputs are monitored against under-voltage events. A serve over-current caused by a failed load on any of the outputs, would, in turn, cause that specific output to suddenly drop. If any of the output voltages drop below 68% of their set value, such event is reported by having the FAULT/MSEL pin pulled to 5V. Additionally, the 2.5V/ 3.3V(2.6V/3.43V) memory regulator is internally current limited while in a sleep state. Exceeding the maximum current rating of this output in a sleep state can lead to output voltage drooping. If excessive, this droop can ultimately trip the under-voltage detector and send a FAULT signal to the computer system. However, a FAULT condition will only set off the FAULT flag, and it will not shut off or latch off any part of the circuit. If shutdown or latch off the circuit is desired, this can be achieved by externally pulling or latching the SS pin low. Pulling the SS pin low will also force the FAULT pin to go low. The typical application employing a RT9641A/B is a fairly straight-forward implementation. Similar to any other linear regulators, attention has to be paid to a few potentially sensitive small signal components, such as those connected to high-impedance nodes or those supplying critical by-pass currents. The power components (pass transistors) and the controller IC should be placed first. The controller should be placed in a central position on the motherboard, closer to the memory load if possible. Ensure the VSEN2 connection is properly sized to carry 300mA without significant resistive losses. The pass transistors should be placed on pads capable of heatsinking, matching the device's power dissipation. Where applicable, multiple via corrections to a large internal plane can significantly lower localized device temperature rise. Under-voltage sensing is disabled on all disabled outputs and during soft-start ramp-up intervals. 8 RT9641A/B close to the component as possible. Dedicate another solid layer as a power plane and break this plane into smaller islands of common voltage levels. Ideally, the power plane should support both the input power and output power nodes. Use copper filled polygons on the top and bottom circuit layers to create power islands connecting the filtering components (output capacitors) and the loads. Use the remaining printed circuit layers for small signal wiring. +12VIN 5VDL Q2 VOUT1 LOAD 12V 5VSB SS 5VDLSB CBULK1 Q3 3V3DLSB 3V3DL Q4 VOUT3 CBULK2 DLA RT9641A/B VSEN2 DRV2 GND CIN CHF3 LOAD CSS CHF1 C5VSB C12V Q5 Q1 Component Selection Guidelines CHF2 VOUT2 CBULK2 Output Capacitors Selection LOAD +5VSB The output capacitors for all outputs should be selected to allow the output voltage to meet the dynamic regulation requirements of active state operation (S0, S1). The load transient for the various microprocessor system's components may require high quality capacitors to supply the high slew rate (di/dt) current demands. Thus, it is recommended that capacitors COUT1 and COUT2 should be selected for transient load regulation. +3.3VIN ISLAND ON POWAR PLANE LAYER ISLAND ON CIRCUIT/POWER PLANE LAYER VIA CONNECTION TO GROUND PLANE Figure 1 . Printed Circuit Board Islands Placement of the decoupling and bulk capacitors should follow a placement reflecting their purpose. As such, the high-frequency decoupling capacitors (CHF) should be placed as close as possible to the load they are decoupling; the ones decoupling the controller (C12V, C5VSB) close to the controller pins, the one decoupling the load close to the load connector or the load itself (if embedded). The bulk capacitance (aluminum electrolytic or tantalum capacitors) placement is not as critical as the highfrequency capacitor placement, but having these capacitors close to the load they serve is preferable. Also, during the transition between active and sleep states, there is a short interval of time during which none of the power pass elements are conducting-during this time the output capacitors have to supply all the output current. The output voltage drop during this brief period of time can be approximated with the following formula: ∆ VOUT = IOUT x (ESROUT + tt / COUT), where ∆ VOUT :output voltage drop ESROUT : output capacitor bank ESR IOUT : output current during transition The only critical small signal component is the soft-start capacitor, CSS. Locate the component close to SS pin of the control IC and connect to ground though a vias placed close to the capacitor's ground pad. Minimize any leakage current paths from SS node, since the internal current source is only 5µA. COUT : output capacitor bank capacitance tt : active-to-sleep or sleep-to-active transition time (5µS typical) Since the output voltage drop is heavily dependent on the ESR (equivalent series resistance) of the output capacitor bank, the capacitors should be chosen to maintain the output voltage above the lowest allowable regulation level. A multi-layer printed circuit board is recommended. Figure1 shows the connections of most of the components to the converter. Note that each individual capacitor could represent numerous physical capacitors. Dedicate one solid layer for a ground plane and make all critical component ground connections through vias placed as Input Capacitors Selection The input capacitors for an RT9641A/B application must have sufficiently low ESR so that the input voltage does not dip excessively when energy is transferred to the output 9 RT9641A/B Transistor Selection/Considerations used. While the heat dissipation should be carefully handled. capacitors. The RT9641A/B typically requires one P-channel or PNP transistor and two N-channel power MOSFETs and two bipolar NPN transistors. Q4 If a P-chanel MOSFET is used to switch the 5VSB output of the ATX supply into the 5VDUAL output during S3 and S4/S5 states (as dictated by EN5VDL status), then, similar to the situation where Q1 is a MOSFET, the selection criteria of this device is also proper voltage budgeting. The maximum rDS (ON), however, has to be achieved with only 4.5V of VGS, so a logic level MOSFET needs to be selected. If a PNP device is chosen to perform this function, it has to have a low saturation voltage while providing the maximum sleep-state current and have current gain sufficiently high to be saturated using the minimum drive current (typically 20mA). A 100Ω ~ 200Ω resistor is recommended to be inserted between the 5VDLSB pin and Base node of the PNP transistor for limiting the base current. One general requirement for selection of transistors for all the linear regulators/switching elements is package selection for efficient removal of heat. The power dissipated in a linear regulator/switching element is: PLINEAR = IO x (VIN - VOUT) Select a package and heatsink that maintains the junction temperature below the rating with the maximum expected ambient temperature. Q1 The active element on the 2.5V/3.3V (2.6V/3.43V) VMEM output has different requirements for each the two voltage settings. In 2.5V systems utilizing RDRAM (or voltagecompatible) memory, Q1 had better to be a bipolar NPN capable of conducting the maximum required output current and it must have a minimum current gain (hfe) of 100~150 at this current and 0.7V VCE. In such systems, the 2.5V(2.6V) output is regulated from the ATX 3.3V output while in an active state. In 3.3V systems (SDRAM or compatible) Q1 is suggested to use an N-channel MOSFET, then the MOSFET serves like a switch when it is connected to ATX3.3V during active states (S0, S1). The main criteria for the selection of this transistor is output voltage budgeting. The maximum RDS(ON) allowed at highest junction temperature can be expressed with the following equation: Q3, Q5 The two N-channel MOSFETs are used to switch the 3.3V and 5V inputs provided by the ATX supply into the 3.3VDUAL and 5VDUAL outputs, respectively, while in active (S0, S1) state. Similar RDS(ON) criteria apply in these cases as well, unlike the PMOS, however, these NMOS transistors get the benefit of an increased VGS drive (approximately 8V and 7V respectively). Q2 The NPN transistor used as sleep-state pass element on the 3.3VDUAL output must have a minimum current gain of 100 at VCE = 1.5V and ICE = 500mA throughout the incircuit operating temperature range. RDS(ON) MAX = (VIN MIN−VOUT MIN)/ IOUT MAX, where VIN MIN : minimum input voltage VOUT MIN : minimum output voltage allowed. IOUT MAX : maximum output current The gate bias available for this MOEFET is approximately 6V, so the logic level MOSFET is prefered. The 3.3V(3.43V) VMEM power also can be regulated from ATX 5V in order to have high quality V MEM , in such a configuration, either MOSFET or NPN transistors can be 10 RT9641A/B Outline Dimension H A M B J F C I D Symbol Dimensions In Millimeters Dimensions In Inches Min Max Min Max A 9.804 10.008 0.386 0.394 B 3.810 3.988 0.150 0.157 C 1.346 1.753 0.053 0.069 D 0.330 0.508 0.013 0.020 F 1.194 1.346 0.047 0.053 H 0.178 0.254 0.007 0.010 I 0.102 0.254 0.004 0.010 J 5.791 6.198 0.228 0.244 M 0.406 1.270 0.016 0.050 16-Lead SOP Plastic Package RICHTEK TECHNOLOGY CORP.
