Ambient temperature Ta: 100°C or lower 2. Chip junction temperature Tj: 150°C or lower The chip junction temperature Tj can be considered as follows. See Page 2/10 for θja. For the package has FIN at the bottoms of IC, package power depends on the connected copper foil area. Be sure to keep the board surface area or release the heat with setting enough through holes to inside pattern. Most of heat loss in BD3538F/HFN occurs at the output N-channel FET. The power lost is determined by multiplying the voltage between VIN and Vo by the output current. As this IC employs the power PKG, the thermal derating characteristics significantly depends on the pc board conditions. When designing, care must be taken to the size of a pc board to be used. Power dissipation (W) = {Input voltage (VTT_IN) – Output voltage (VTT=1/2VDDQ)}×Io (Ave) If VTT_IN = 1.8 volts, VDDQ=1.8 volts, and Io (Ave)=0.5 A, for instance, the power dissipation is determined as follows: Power dissipation (W) = {1.8 (V) – 0.9 (V)} × 0.5 (A) = 0.4 (W) 2/10 ●OPERATING CONDITIONS (Ta=25℃) Parameter Input Voltage Symbol MIN MAX Unit VCC 2.7 5.5 V Termination Input Voltage VTT_IN 1.0 5.5 V VDDQ Reference Voltage VDDQ 1.0 2.75 V VEN -0.3 5.5 V Enable Input Voltage ★ No radiation-resistant design is adopted for the present product. ●ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS (unless otherwise noted, Ta=25℃ VCC=3.3V VEN=3V VDDQ=1.8V VTT_IN=1.8V) Parameter Symbol Standard Value MIN TYP MAX Unit Condition Standby Current IST - 0.5 1.0 mA VEN=0V Bias Current ICC - 2 4 mA VEN=3V High Level Enable Input Voltage VENHIGH 2.3 - 5.5 V Low Level Enable Input Voltage VENLOW -0.3 - 0.8 V IEN - 7 10 uA Termination Output Voltage 1 VTT1 VREF-30m VREF VREF+30m V Termination Output Voltage 2 VTT2 VREF-30m VREF VREF+30m V Source Current ITT+ 1.0 - - A [Enable] Enable Pin Input Current VEN=3V [Termination] Sink Current Load Regulation Line Regulation ITT- - - -1.0 A ⊿VTT - - 50 mV Reg.l - 20 40 mV Upper Side ON Resistance 1 HRON1 - 0.45 0.9 Ω Lower Side ON Resistance 1 LRON1 - 0.45 0.9 Ω Upper Side ON Resistance 2 HRON2 - 0.4 0.8 Ω Lower Side ON Resistance 2 LRON2 - 0.4 0.8 Ω kΩ ITT=-1.0A to 1.0A Ta=0℃ to 105℃ *6 VCC=5V, VDDQ=2.5V VTT_IN=2.5V ITT=-1.0A to 1.0A *6 Ta=0℃ to 105℃ ITT=-1.0A to 1.0A VCC=5V, VDDQ=2.5V VTT_IN=2.5V VCC=5V, VDDQ=2.5V VTT_IN=2.5V [Reference Voltage Input] Input Impedance Output Voltage 1 ZVDDQ VREF1 Output Voltage 2 VREF2 Output Voltage 3 VREF3 Output Voltage 4 VREF4 70 100 130 1/2×VDDQ 1/2× VDDQ 1/2× VDDQ 1/2×VDDQ 1/2× VDDQ 1/2×VDDQ 1/2× VDDQ 1/2×VDDQ -40m -18m 1/2×VDDQ -40m 1/2×VDDQ -25m 1/2×VDDQ +18m 1/2×VDDQ +40m +25m +40m V V V V IREF=-5mA to 5mA *6 Ta=0℃ to 105℃ IREF=-10mA to 10mA Ta=0℃ to 105℃*6 VCC=5V, VDDQ=2.5V VTT_IN=2.5V IREF=-5mA to 5mA *6 Ta=0℃ to 105℃ VCC=5V, VDDQ=2.5V VTT_IN=2.5V ITT=-10mA to 10mA *6 Ta=0℃ to 105℃ [UVLO] Threshold Voltage VUVLO 2.40 2.55 2.70 V Hysteresis Voltage ⊿VUVLO 100 160 220 mV *6 Design Guarantee 3/10 VCC : sweep up VCC : sweep down ●Reference Data VTT(20mV/Div) VTT(20mV/Div) VTT(20mV/Div) ITT(1A/Div) ITT(1A/Div) 10μsec/Div ITT(1A/Div) 10μsec/Div Fig.1 DDR1 (-1A→1A) 10μsec/Div Fig.3 DDR2 (-1A→1A) Fig.2 DDR1 (1A→-1A) 0.902 1.252 0.901 VREF(V) VREF(V) 1.251 VTT(20mV/Div) 1.250 0.900 0.899 ITT(1A/Div) 1.249 0.898 10μsec/Div 1.248 -10 -5 0 IREF(mA) 5 10 1.260 -5 0 IREF(mA) 5 Fig.6 IREF-VREF (DDR2) Fig.5 IREF-VREF (DDR1) Fig.4 DDR2 (1A→-1A) 0.897 -10 0.920 0.915 VCC 0.910 VTT(V) VTT(V) 1.255 1.250 0.905 EN 0.900 VDDQ VTT IN 0.895 1.245 0.890 0.885 VTT 0.880 1.240 -2 -1 0 ITT(A) 1 Fig.7 ITT-VTT (DDR1) 2 -2 -1 0 ITT(A) 1 Fig.8 ITT-VTT (DDR2) 2 Fig.9 Input Sequence 1 VTT_IN VCC VCC EN EN VDDQ VTT IN VDDQ VTT IN VTT VREF 1234 ITT_IN (1A/div) VTT VTT Fig.10 Input Sequence 2 Fig.11 Input Sequence 3 4/10 Fig.12 Start up Wave Form 10 ●BLOCK DIAGRAM VCC 6 VCC 5 VCC VDDQ 7 VCC UVLO Reference Block Thermal VTT_IN VDDQ VCC SOFT TSD UVLO EN UVLO TSD VCC EN UVLO EN 2 VTT 8 VTT TSD EN UVLO TSD 3 Protection Enable VTT_IN VTTS 4 EN VREF ½× VDDQ 1 GND ●PIN CONFIGRATION GND 1 ●PIN FUNCTION PIN No. PIN NAME 8 VTT 1 GND 2 EN PIN FUNCTION GND Pin Enable Input Pin 7 VTT_IN 3 VTTS Detector Voltage VTTS 3 6 VCC 4 VREF Reference Voltage Output Pin VREF 4 5 VDDQ 5 VDDQ Reference Voltage Input Pin EN 2 Pin for Termination 6 VCC 7 VTT_IN 8 VTT Termination Output Pin Bottom FIN Substraight (Conntct to GND) 5/10 VCC Pin Termination Input Pin ●Description of operations ・VCC In BD3538F/HFN, an independent power input pin is provided for an internal circuit operation of the IC. This is used to drive the amplifier circuit of the IC, and its maximum current rating is 4 mA. The power supply voltage is 3.3 to 5.5 volts. It is recommended to connect a bypass capacitor of 1 μF or so to VCC. ・VDDQ Reference input pin for the output voltage, that may be used to satisfy the JEDEC requirement for DDR-SDRAM (VTT = 1/2VDDQ) by dividing the voltage inside the IC with two 50 kΩ voltage-divider resistors For BD3538F/HFN, care must be taken to an input noise to VDDQ pin because this IC also cuts such noise input into half and provides it with the voltage output divided in half. Such noise may be reduced with an RC filter consisting of such resistance and capacitance (220 Ω and 2.2 μF, for instance) that may not give significant effect to voltage dividing inside the IC. ・VTT_IN VTT_IN is a power supply input pin for VTT output. Voltage in the range between 1.0 and 5.5 volts may be supplied to this VTT_IN terminal, but care must be taken to the current limitation due to on-resistance of the IC and the change in allowable loss due to input/output voltage difference. Generally, the following voltages are supplied: ・ DDR I VTT_IN=2.5V ・ DDRII VTT_IN=1.8V ・ DDRIII VTT_IN=1.5V Higher impedance of the voltage input at VTT_IN may result in oscillation or degradation in ripple rejection, which must be noted. To VTT_IN terminal, it is recommended to use a 10 μF capacitor characterized with less change in capacitance. But it may depend on the characteristics of the power supply input and the impedance of the pc board wiring, which must be carefully checked before use. ・VREF In BD3538F/HFN, a reference voltage output pin independent from VTT output is given to provide a reference input for a memory controller and a DRAM. Even if EN pin turns to “Low” level, VREF output is kept unchanged, compatible with “Self Refresh” state of DRAM. The maximum current capability of VREF is 20 mA, and a suitable capacitor is needed to stabilize the output voltage. It is recommended to use a combination of a 1.0 to 2.2 μF ceramic capacitor characterized with less change in capacitance and a 0.5 to 2.2 Ω phase compensator resistor, or a 10μF ceramic or tantalum capacitor instead. For an application where VREF current is low, a capacitor of lower capacitance may be used. If VREF current is 1 mA or less, it is possible to secure a phase margin with a ceramic capacitor of 1 μF more or less. ・VTTS An independent pin provided to improve load regulation of VTT output. In case that longer wiring is needed to the load at VTT output, connecting VTTS from the load side may improve the load regulation. ・VTT A DDR memory termination output pin. BD3538F/HFN has a sink/source current capability of ±1.0A respectively. The output voltage tracks the voltage divided in half at VDDQ pin. VTT output is turned to OFF when VCC UVLO or thermal shutdown protector is activated with EN pin level turned to “Low”. Do not fail to connect a capacitor to VTT output pin for a loop gain phase compensation and a reduction in output voltage variation in the event of sudden change in load. Insufficient capacitance may cause an oscillation. High ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) of the capacitor may result in increase in output voltage variation in the event of sudden change in load. It is recommended to use a 220 μF functional polymer capacitor (OS-CON, POS-CAP, NEO-CAP), though it depends on ambient temperature and other conditions. A low ESR ceramic capacitor may reduce a loop gain phase margin and may cause an oscillation, which may be improved by connecting a resistor in series with the capacitor. ・EN With an input of 2.3 volts or higher, the level at EN pin turns to “High” to provide VTT output. If the input is lowered to 0.8 volts or less, the level at EN pin turns to “Low” and VTT status turns to Hi-Z. But if VCC and VDDQ are established, VREF output is maintained. 6/10 ●Evaluation Board ■ BD3538F/HFN Evaluation Board Circuit VCC EN GND U1 SW1 BD3538F/HFN 2 VTT_IN 7 VDDQ C5 R4 J2 5 EN VTT_IN VDDQ VTT VTTS 6 C2 VCC 1 GND ■ BD3538F/HFN Evaluation Board Application Components 220Ω 0Ω 10uF 1uF 10uF 220uF 2.2uF Company ROHM ROHM ROHM ROHM ROHM SANYO ROHM Parts Name BD3538F/HFN MCR032200 MCH218CN106K MCH184CN105K MCH218CN106K 2R5TPE220MF MCH188CN225K 7/10 C7 VREF VREF 4 C3 Value VTTS 3 C9 VCC Part No U1 R4 J1 C2 C3 C5 C7 C9 VTT 8 GND ●NOTE FOR USE 1.Absolute maximum ratings For the present product, thoroughgoing quality control is carried out, but in the event that applied voltage, working temperature range, and other absolute maximum rating are exceeded, the present product may be destroyed. Because it is unable to identify the short mode, open mode, etc., if any special mode is assumed, which exceeds the absolute maximum rating, physical safety measures are requested to be taken, such as fuses, etc. 2.GND potential Bring the GND terminal potential to the minimum potential in any operating condition. 3.Thermal design Consider allowable loss (Pd) under actual working condition and carry out thermal design with sufficient margin provided. 4.Terminal-to-terminal short-circuit and erroneous mounting When the present IC is mounted to a printed circuit board, take utmost care to direction of IC and displacement. In the event that the IC is mounted erroneously, IC may be destroyed. In the event of short-circuit caused by foreign matter that enters in a clearance between outputs or output and power-GND, the IC may be destroyed. 5.Operation in strong electromagnetic field The use of the present IC in the strong electromagnetic field may result in maloperation, to which care must be taken. 6.Built-in thermal shutdown protection circuit The present IC incorporates a thermal shutdown protection circuit (TSD circuit). The working temperature is 175°C (standard value) and has a -15°C (standard value) hysteresis width. When the IC chip temperature rises and the TSD circuit operates, the output terminal is brought to the OFF state. The built-in thermal shutdown protection circuit (TSD circuit) is first and foremost intended for interrupt IC from thermal runaway, and is not intended to protect and warrant the IC. Consequently, never attempt to continuously use the IC after this circuit is activated or to use the circuit with the activation of the circuit premised. 7.Capacitor across output and GND In the event a large capacitor is connected across output and GND, when Vcc and VIN are short-circuited with 0V or GND for some kind of reasons, current charged in the capacitor flows into the output and may destroy the IC. Use a capacitor smaller than 1000 μF between output and GND. 8.Inspection by set substrate In the event a capacitor is connected to a pin with low impedance at the time of inspection with a set substrate, there is a fear of applying stress to the IC. Therefore, be sure to discharge electricity for every process. As electrostatic measures, provide grounding in the assembly process, and take utmost care in transportation and storage. Furthermore, when the set substrate is connected to a jig in the inspection process, be sure to turn OFF power supply to connect the jig and be sure to turn OFF power supply to remove the jig. 9. Inputs to IC terminals + This device is a monolithic IC with P isolation between P-substrate and each element as illustrated below. This P-layer and the N-layer of each element form a PN junction which works as: ・a diode if the electric potentials at the terminals satisfy the following relationship; GND>Terminal A>Terminal B, or ・a parasitic transistor if the electric potentials at the terminals satisfy the following relationship; Terminal B>GND Terminal A. The structure of the IC inevitably forms parasitic elements, the activation of which may cause interference among circuits, and/or malfunctions contributing to breakdown. It is therefore requested to take care not to use the device in such manner that the voltage lower than GND (at P-substrate) may be applied to the input terminal, which may result in activation of parasitic elements. Resistor Transistor (NPN) Pin A Pin B C Pin B B E Pin A N P + N P+ P N Parasitic element N P+ P substrate Parasitic element GND B N P+ P N C E Parasitic element P substrate Parasitic element GND GND GND Other adjacent elements 10. GND wiring pattern When both a small-signal GND and high current GND are present, single-point grounding (at the set standard point) is recommended, in order to separate the small-signal and high current patterns, and to be sure the voltage change stemming from the wiring resistance and high current does not cause any voltage change in the small-signal GND. In the same way, care must be taken to avoid wiring pattern fluctuations in any connected external component GND. 8/10 11. Output capacitor (C1) Do not fail to connect a output capacitor to VREF output terminal for stabilization of output voltage. The capacitor connected to VREF output terminal works as a loop gain phase compensator. Insufficient capacitance may cause an oscillation. It is recommended to use a low temperature coefficient 1-10 μF ceramic capacitor, though it depends on ambient temperature and load conditions. It is therefore requested to carefully check under the actual temperature and load conditions to be applied. 12. Output capacitor (C4) Do not fail to connect a capacitor to VTT output pin for stabilization of output voltage. This output capacitor works as a loop gain phase compensator and an output voltage variation reducer in the event of sudden change in load. Insufficient capacitance may cause an oscillation. And if the equivalent series resistance (ESR) of this capacitor is high, the variation in output voltage increases in the event of sudden change in load. It is recommended to use a 47-220 μF functional polymer capacitor, though it depends on ambient temperature and load conditions. Using a low ESR ceramic capacitor may reduce a loop gain phase margin and cause an oscillation, which may be improved by connecting a resistor in series with the capacitor. It is therefore requested to carefully check under the actual temperature and load conditions to be applied. 13. Input capacitors (C2 and C3) These input capacitors are used to reduce the output impedance of power supply to be connected to the input terminals (VCC and VTT_IN). Increase in the power supply output impedance may result in oscillation or degradation in ripple rejecting characteristics. It is recommended to use a low temperature coefficient 1μF (for VCC) and 10μF (for VTT_IN) capacitor, but it depends on the characteristics of the power supply input, and the capacitance and impedance of the pc board wiring pattern. It is therefore requested to carefully check under the actual temperature and load conditions to be applied. 14. Input terminals (VCC, VDDQ, VTT_IN and EN) VCC, VDDQ, VTT_IN and EN terminals of this IC are made up independent one another. To VCC terminal, the UVLO function is provided for malfunction protection. Irrespective of the input order of the inputs terminals, VTT output is activated to provide the output voltage when UVLO and EN voltages reach the threshold voltage while VREF output is activated when UVLO voltage reaches the threshold. If VDDQ and VTT_IN terminals have equal potential and common impedance, any change in current at VTT_IN terminal may result in variation of VTT_IN voltage, which affects VDDQ terminal and may cause variation in the output voltage. It is therefore required to perform wiring in such manner that VDDQ and VTT_IN terminals may not have common impedance. If impossible, take appropriate corrective measures including suitable CR filter to be inserted between VDDQ and VTT_IN terminals. 15. VTTS terminal A terminal used to improve load regulation of VTT output. Connection with VTT terminal must be done not to have common impedance with high current line, which may offer better load regulation of VTT output. 16. Operating range Within the operating range, the operation and function of the circuits are generally guaranteed at an ambient temperature within the range specified. The values specified for electrical characteristics may not be guaranteed, but drastic change may not occur to such characteristics within the operating range. 17. Allowable loss Pd For the allowable loss, the thermal derating characteristics are shown in the Exhibit, which should be used as a guide. Any uses that exceed the allowable loss may result in degradation in the functions inherent to IC including a decrease in current capability due to chip temperature increase. Use within the allowable loss. 18. Built-in thermal shutdown protection circuit Thermal shutdown protection circuit is built-in to prevent thermal breakdown. Turns VTT output to OFF when the thermal shutdown protection circuit activates. This thermal shutdown protection circuit is originally intended to protect the IC itself. It is therefore requested to conduct a thermal design not to exceed the temperature under which the thermal shutdown protection circuit can work. 19. The use in the strong electromagnetic field may sometimes cause malfunction, to which care must be taken. In the event that load containing a large inductance component is connected to the output terminal, and generation of back-EMF at the start-up and when output is turned OFF is assumed, it is requested to insert a protection diode. (Example) 20. In the event that load containing a large inductance component is OUTPUT PIN connected to the output terminal, and generation of back-EMF at the start-up and when output is turned OFF is assumed, it is requested to insert a protection diode. 21. We are certain that examples of applied circuit diagrams are recommendable, but you are requested to thoroughly confirm the characteristics before using the IC. In addition, when the IC is used with the external circuit changed, decide the IC with sufficient margin provided while consideration is being given not only to static characteristics but also variations of external parts and our IC including transient characteristics. 9/10 ●Ordering part number B D 5 3 3 Part Number 8 H Package Type ・BD3538 N F - T R TR Emboss tape reel opposite draw-out side: 1 pin ・F : SOP8 ・HFN : HSON8 E2 Emboss tape reel opposite draw-out side: 1 pin SOP8 <Tape and Reel information> <Dimension> 1 4 E2 (The direction is the 1pin of product is at the upper left when you hold reel on the left hand and you pull out the tape on the right hand) 0.15±0.1 1234 1234 1234 1234 1Pin Reel (Unit:mm 1234 1234 1.27 0.4±0.1 1234 0.1 1234 1.5±0.1 0.11 6.2±0.3 4.4±0.2 0.3Min. 5 Embossed carrier tape 2500pcs Direction of feed 5.0±0.2 8 Tape Quantity Direction of feed ※When you order , please order in times the amount of package quantity.
