FAN5078D3 — Complete ACPI Compliant Power Solution for DDR3 Memory System Features Description PWM regulator for VDDQ Linear LDO regulator generates VTT = VDDQ/2, 1.5A peak sink/source capability The FAN5078D3 DDR memory regulator combines a highefficiency Pulse-Width Modulated (PWM) controller to generate the memory supply voltage, VDDQ, and a linear regulator to generate termination voltage (VTT). AMT / M-state support Control to generate 5V USB ACPI drive and control for 5V DUAL generation 3.3V internal LDO for 3V-ALW generation 300kHz fixed-frequency switching RDS(ON) current sensing or optional current-sense resistor for precision over-current detect Internal synchronous boot diode Common Power-Good signal for all voltages Input under-voltage lockout (UVLO) Thermal shutdown Latched multi-fault protection Precision reference output for ULDO controllers 24-pin 5x5mm MLP package FAN5078D3 can be configured to provide VDDQ and VTT power requirements for DDR3 version. For power requirements of DDR1 and DDR2 memory systems, refer to FAN5078. Synchronous rectification provides high efficiency over a wide range of load currents. Efficiency is further enhanced by using the low-side MOSFET’s RDS(ON) to sense current. The VDDQ PWM regulator is a sampled, current-mode control with external compensation to achieve fast loadtransient response and provide system design optimization. The VTT regulator derives its reference and takes its power from the VDDQ PWM regulator output. The VTT termination regulator is capable of sourcing or sinking up to 1.5A peak currents. In S5 M1 mode, the VDDQ switcher, VTT regulator, and the 3.3V regulators remain on. S3 mode keeps these regulators on and turns on an external P-channel to provide 5V USB. A single soft-start capacitor enables controlled slew rates for both VDDQ and 3.3V-ALW outputs. PGOOD becomes true in S0 only after all regulators have achieved stable outputs. Applications DDR VDDQ and VTT voltage generation with ACPI support for DDR3 In S5 (EN = 0), the 3.3V internal LDO stays on while the other regulators are powered down.

Bypass Capacitor Notes: 1. Input capacitor CIN is typically chosen based on the ripple current requirements. COUT is typically selected based on both current ripple rating and ESR requirement (see AN-6006 for these calculations). 2. C7, C12, and C15 selection is largely determined by ESR and load transient response requirements. In each case, the number of capacitors required depends on the capacitor technology chosen. Oscons can meet the requirements with less space, but higher cost, than low-ESR electrolytics. © 2008 Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation FAN5078D3 • Rev. 1.0.0 3 www.fairchildsemi.com FAN5078D3 — Complete ACPI Compliant Power Solution for DDR3 Memory System Table 1.

A general purpose PWM regulator, typically used to generate VDDQ for DDR Memory. 2. A low-dropout linear VTT regulator capable of sinking and sourcing 1.5A peak. 3. Control to generate 5V DUAL using an external Nchannel to supply power from 5V MAIN in S0 and an external P-channel to provide power from 5V standby (5V SB) in S3. 4. Drive to generate 5V USB. This signal drives a PChannel MOSFET to connect 5V USB to +5V SB in S3. 5. An internal LDO that regulates 3.3V-ALW in S3 mode from VCC (5V SB). In S3 or S5, this regulator is capable of 1.25A peak currents with average currents limited by the thermal design of the PCB. At initial power-up, or when transitioning from S5, the PWM regulator is disabled until 5V MAIN is above the UVLO threshold. Table 2. ACPI States STATE S5 S5 M1 S3 S0 EN 3.3 ALW (S5#) S3#I S4ST# SBSW SBUSB# S3#O VDDQ VTT LDO L X X H H L OFF OFF ON H L L L H L ON ON ON H L H L L L ON ON ON H H X H H H ON ON OFF 3.3 ALW LDO LDO LDO 3.3V MAIN 5V Dual OFF +5VSB +5VSB +5 MAIN 5V USB OFF OFF +5VSB +5 MAIN Regulator Sequencing T4 to T5: After VDDQ is stabilized (when CSS is at about ~1.3V), an internal VDDQ OK is generated that allows the VTT LDO to start. To ensure that the VDDQ output is not subjected to large transient currents, the VTT slew rate is limited by the slew rate of the SS cap. In addition, the VTT regulator is current limited. VTT is in regulation once CSS reaches about 3.8V. The VCC pin provides power to all logic and analog control functions of the regulator, including: 1. 2. 3. 4. Power for the 3.3V regulator LDRV gate driver current HDRV boot diode charging current The regulator analog control and logic. This pin must be decoupled with a X5R ceramic capacitor (1μF or larger recommended) as close as possible to the VCC pin. After VCC is above UVLO, the start-up sequence begins (see Figure 9). S0 to S3 or S5 M1: The system signals this transition by dropping the S3#I signal. When this occurs, S3#O goes LOW, and the 3.3V LDO turns on. SBSW pulls low to turn ON the P-channel 5V DUAL switch. SBUSB# pulls LOW to turn on Q6 when S4ST# is HIGH. UVLO on VCC discharges SS and resets the IC. S3 or S5 M1 to S0: The system signals this transition by raising the S3#I signal. S0 mode is not entered until 5V MAIN OK, then the following occurs: T0 to T3: After initial power-up, the IC ignores logic inputs for a period (T3-T0) of approximately: T3 - T0 ≈ 1.7 • CSS (1) where T3-T0 is in ms if CSS is in nF. At T2 (about 2/3 of the way from T1 to T3), the 3.3V-ALW LDO is in regulation. The 3.3V LDO slew rate is limited by the discharge slope of CSS. If 3.3V MAIN has come up prior to this time, the 3.3V-ALW node is already pre-charged through the body diode of Q5 (see Figure 1). S3#O releases. SBSW and SBUSB# both pull HIGH to turn off their P-channel switches. The 3.3V LDO turns off. In most systems, the ATX power supply is enabled when S3#I goes HIGH. At that time, 5V and 3.3V MAIN starts to rise. When the FAN5078D3’s 5V MAIN pin is above its UVLO threshold, Q3 and Q5 turn on. This can cause about a 10% “dip” in both 5V DUAL and 3.3V ALW when Q3 and Q5 turn on, since at that point, 5V MAIN and 3.3V MAIN are at 90% of their regulation value. T3 to T4: The IC starts VDDQ only if 5V MAIN is above the UVLO threshold (5V MAIN OK). Provided 5V MAIN is up before T3, the IC waits about 100μs before initiating softstart on VDDQ to allow CSS time to fully discharge. The IC is in "SLEEP" or S5 state when EN is LOW. In S5, only the 3.3V LDO is ON. If the IC is in S5 at T4, CSS is held to 0V. © 2008 Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation FAN5078D3 • Rev. 1.0.0 10 www.fairchildsemi.com FAN5078D3 — Complete ACPI Compliant Power Solution for DDR3 Memory System Circuit Description 5V Dual "dip" 4.4V 5V MAIN S3#O S3#I Figure 5. S3 to S0 Transition: 5V DUAL This dip can also occur in 5V USB and 3.3V-ALW if 5V and 3.3V are not fully charged before the 5V MAIN pin exceeds its threshold. To eliminate the dip, add delay to the 5V MAIN pin, as shown below. The 5V MAIN pin does not supply power to the IC; it is only used to monitor the voltage level of the 5V MAIN supply. The pin has a pull-down resistor impedance of about 62K and therefore requires a low value RDLY resistor (see Figure 6 below). 3.3-ALW 3.3V LDO I3.3 x ESRC12 ON OFF S3#O (Q5 gate) 4.4V 5V MAIN RDLY +5MAIN FROM ATX 5V MAIN 4 CDLY S3#I Figure 8. 3.3V-ALW Transition to S0 Figure 6. Adding Delay to 5V MAIN Another method of eliminating the potential for this dip is to connect the ATX power supply PWR_OK signal to the 5V MAIN pin. Some systems cannot tolerate the long delay for PWR_OK (>100ms) to assert, so the solution in Figure 6 may be preferable. S5 to S5 M1 or S3: During S5 to S3 transition, the IC pulls SBSW (or SBUSB# if enabled by S4ST#) LOW with a 500nA current sink to limit inrush in Q4 if 5V MAIN is below its UVLO threshold. At that time, 5V DUAL and 5V USB are discharged. The limited gate drives control the inrush current through Q4 or Q6 as they charge their respective load capacitances on 5V DUAL and 5V USB, respectively. Depending on the CGD of Q4 and Q6, the current available from 5V SB, and the size of CIN and C15, C13, and C14 may be omitted. If the PWR_OK signal is used, the voltage at the 5V MAIN pin must reach the 5V MAIN threshold. Since the internal pull-down resistance of the 5V MAIN pin is 62K, a low value pull-up should be used. A lower current solution can also be used by employing the 12V supply to provide adequate pullup capability. The circuit in Figure 7 requires that PWR_OK, 12V, and +5MAIN from the ATX are all up before allowing the IC to go to S0. 10K FROM ATX +12V 5V MAIN IQ 4(INRUSH) = CIN • 5 X10 −7 C13 + C GD(Q 4 ) C15 • 5X10−7 IQ6(INRUSH) = C14 + CGD(Q6) 4 (2) If 5V MAIN is above its UVLO threshold, SBSW (or SBUSB# if enabled by S4ST#) is pulled down with an impedance of ~150Ω. VDDQ and VTT do not start until 5V MAIN OK is true. 5VS B PWR_OK Figure 7.

As shown in Figure 8, the 3.3V internal regulator turns off as soon as 5V MAIN crosses its rising threshold, releasing S3#O. While the gate capacitances of Q5, Q7, and Q3 charge sufficiently to turn Q5 ON, the load current on 3.3-ALW is supplied by C12. There is an initial “ESR step” of I3.3 x ESRC12, where I3.3 is the 3.3-ALW load current. This is followed by a discharge of I C12 whose slope is proportional to 3.3 . To ensure that the C12 drop in 3.3-ALW during this transition does not cause system problems, use sufficiently low-ESR capacitors and a sufficiently low value for R4 to ensure that 3.3-ALW remains inside the required system tolerance. 5V DUAL 5V SB 4V 3.8V SS 1V VDDQ 3.3V LDO T0 T1 T2 T3 T4 T5 Figure 9. Start-up Sequence into S0 PWM Regulator A PSPICE model and spreadsheet calculator are available in Application Note AN-6006 for the VDDQ PWM regulator to select external components and verify loop stability. The topics covered below provide the explanation behind the calculations in the spreadsheet. Oscillator Setting the Output Voltage When the PWM regulator is enabled, the circuit waits until the VDDQ IN pin is below 100mV to ensure that the softstart cycle does not begin with a large residual voltage on the PWM regulator output. The oscillator frequency is 300Khz. The internal PWM ramp is reset on the rising clock edge. PWM Soft Start The output voltage of the PWM regulator can be set in the range of 0.9V to 80% of its power input by an external resistor divider. When the PWM regulator is disabled, 40Ω is connected from VDDQ IN to PGND to discharge the output. The circuit waits until the FB pin is below 100mV to ensure that the soft-start cycle does not begin with a large residual voltage on the VDDQ regulator output. The internal reference is 0.9V. The output is divided down by an external voltage divider to the FB pin (for example, R1 and R2 in Figure 1). There is also a 1.3μA current sourced out of FB to ensure that if the pin is open, VDDQ remains LOW. The output voltage therefore is: The voltage at the positive input of the error amplifier is limited to VCSS, which is charged with about 45μA. Once CSS reaches 0.9V, the output voltage is in regulation. 0.9V VOUT − 0.9V (3a) = + 1.3 μA R2 R1 To minimize noise pickup on this node, keep the resistor to GND (R2) below 2K. In the example below, R2 is 1.82K and R1 is calculated: R1 = R2 • (VOUT − 0.9) = 0.9 − 1.3 μA 1.815K ≈ 1.82K The time it takes SS to reach 0.9V and VDDQ to achieve regulation is: T0.9 ≈ (3b) (4) where T0.9 is in ms if CSS is in nF. CSS charges another 400mV before the PWM regulator’s fault latch is enabled. When CSS reaches 1.2V, the VTT regulator begins its soft-start. After VTT is in regulation, PGOOD is allowed to go HIGH (open). The synchronous buck converter is optimized for 5V input operation. The PWM modulator uses an average current mode control for simplified feedback loop compensation. © 2008 Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation FAN5078D3 • Rev. 1.0.0 0.9 X C SS 45 12 www.fairchildsemi.com FAN5078D3 — Complete ACPI Compliant Power Solution for DDR3 Memory System V(UVLO) The following discussion refers to Figure 11. The ILIM pin (pin 20) may be used as a precision 0.9V reference for external ULDO controllers, as shown in Figure 10. The ILIM pin is ON during all ACPI states. The current through RSENSE resistor (ISNS) is sampled shortly after Q2 is turned on. That current is held and summed with the output of the error amplifier. This effectively creates a current-mode control loop. RSENSE sets the gain in the current feedback loop. For stable operation, the voltage induced by the current feedback at the PWM comparator input should be set to 30% of the ramp amplitude at maximum load current and line voltage. 5VSB Q1 R3 U1 C1 ILIM R5 R1 VOUT Equation 5 estimates the recommended value of RSENSE as a function of the maximum load current (ILOAD(MAX)) and the value of the MOSFET RDS(ON): COUT R2 20 Figure 10. Using ILIM as a ULDO Reference R SENSE = R5 in Figure 1 is the current limit setting resistor and comprises the only DC current path from the ILIM pin to GND. The circuit is configured so that the reference for the ULDO is presented at the positive terminal of U1 and draws negligible DC current. R3 and C1 filter noise that might be induced if there is significant PCB trace length. C1 should be placed as close as possible to the op-amp’s input pin. R3 should be placed as close as possible to pin 20 of the FAN5078D3 and should be greater than 10K to isolate the ILIM pin from noise.

RILIM, the RDS(ON) of Q2, and RSENSE determine the current limit: The adaptive gate control logic translates the internal PWM control signal into the MOSFET gate drive signals, providing necessary amplification, level shifting, and shoot-through protection. It also has functions to help optimize the IC performance over a wide range of operating conditions. R ILIM = (100 + R SENSE ) 9.6 X ILIMIT R DS(ON) (7) where ILIMIT is the peak inductor current. Since the tolerance on the current limit is largely dependent on the ratio of the external resistors, it is fairly accurate if the voltage drop on the switching node side of RSENSE is an accurate representation of the load current. When using the MOSFET as the sensing element, the variation of RDS(ON) causes proportional variation in the ISNS. This value not only varies from device to device, but also has a typical junction temperature coefficient of about 0.4%/°C (consult the MOSFET datasheet for actual values), so the actual current limit set point decreases proportional to increasing MOSFET die temperature. A factor of 1.6 in the current limit set point should compensate for MOSFET RDS(ON) variations, assuming the MOSFET heat sinking keeps its operating die temperature below 125°C. Since MOSFET switching time can vary dramatically from type to type and with the input voltage, the gate control logic provides adaptive dead time by monitoring the gateto-source voltages of both upper and lower MOSFETs. The lower MOSFET drive is not turned on until the gate-tosource voltage of the upper MOSFET has decreased to less than ~1V. Similarly, the upper MOSFET is not turned on until the gate-to-source voltage of the lower MOSFET has decreased to less than ~1V. This allows a wide variety of upper and lower MOSFETs to be used without concern for simultaneous conduction or shoot-through. There must be a low-resistance, low-inductance path between the driver pin and the MOSFET gate for the adaptive dead-time circuit to work properly. Any delay along that path subtracts from the delay generated by the adaptive dead-time circuit and shoot-through may occur. Current limit (ILIMIT) should be set sufficiently high as to allow the inductor current to rise in response to an output load transient. Typically, a factor of 1.3 is sufficient. In addition, since ILIMIT is a peak current cut-off value, multiply ILOAD(MAX) by the inductor ripple current (i.e. 20%). To account all of these variations, set ILIMIT as: ILIMIT > ILOAD(MAX) x 1.6 x 1.3 x 1.2 Frequency Loop Compensation The loop is compensated using a feedback network around the error amplifier.

Improving Current Sensing Accuracy Figure 13 shows a complete Type-3 compensation network. A Type-2 compensation configuration eliminates R4 and C3 and is shown in Figure 1. Since the FAN5078D3 architecture employs summing current mode, Type-2 compensation can be used for most applications. For critical applications that require wide loop bandwidth and use very low ESR output capacitors, Type-3 compensation may be required. The PSPICE model and spreadsheet calculator of AN-6006 can be used to calculate these component values. More accurate sensing can be achieved using a resistor (R1) instead of the RDS(ON) of the FET, shown in Figure 12. This approach causes higher losses, but greater accuracy. Transient response during a rapid decrease in ILOAD can be improved by adding a pull-down resistor (>5K) from the COMP pin to GND. © 2008 Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation FAN5078D3 • Rev. 1.0.0 14 www.fairchildsemi.com FAN5078D3 — Complete ACPI Compliant Power Solution for DDR3 Memory System Setting the Current Limit OVP / HS Fault / FB Short to GND Detection PGOOD monitors the status of the PWM output and VTT. PGOOD remains LOW unless all these conditions are met: A HS fault is detected when there is more than 0.5V from SW to PGND 350ns after LDRV reaches 4V (same as the current sampling time). SS is above 3.5V Fault latch is cleared FB is between 90% and 110% of VREF VTT is in regulation. OVP fault detection occurs if FB>115% VREF for 16 clock cycles. During soft-start, the output voltage could potentially "run away" if either the FB pin is shorted to GND or R1 is open. This fault is detected if the following condition persists for more than 14μs during soft-start: Protection VDDQ IN (PWM output voltage) > 1V FB < 100mV The converter output is monitored and protected against extreme overload, short-circuit, over-voltage, and undervoltage conditions. Any of these faults sets the fault latch, even during the SS time (SS < 1.2V). An internal fault latch is set for any fault intended to shut down the IC. When the fault latch is set, the IC discharges its output by driving LDRV HIGH until VDDQ IN < 0.5V. LDRV goes LOW until VDDQ IN > 0.8V. This discharges VDDQ without causing undershoot (negative output voltage). To ensure that FB pin open does not cause a destructive condition, a 1.3μA current source ensures that the FB pin is HIGH if open. This causes the regulator to keep the output LOW and eventually results in an under-voltage fault shutdown (after PWM SS completes). To discharge the output capacitors, a 40Ω load resistor is switched from VDDQ IN to PGND whenever the IC is in fault condition or when EN is LOW. After a latched fault, operation can be restored by recycling power or toggling the EN pin. COMP 1.3μA – FB + E/A Under-Voltage Shutdown RAMP + 4.41K ISS SS If FB stays below the under-voltage threshold for 2μs, the fault latch is set. This fault is prevented from setting the fault latch during PWM soft-start (SS < 1.3V). VREF – + PWM + ISNS Over-Current Sensing Figure 15. SS Clamp and FB Open Protection If the circuit’s current limit signal (ILIM det shown in Figure 11) is high at the beginning of a clock cycle, a pulse-skipping circuit is activated and HDRV is inhibited. The circuit continues to pulse skip in this manner for the next 8 clock th th cycles. If, at any time from the 9 to the 16 clock cycle, the ILIM det is again reached, the fault latch is set. If ILIM det does not occur between cycle 9 and 16, normal operation is restored and the over-current circuit resets itself. Over-Temperature Protection The chip incorporates an over-temperature protection circuit that shuts the chip down when a die temperature of ~150°C is reached. Normal operation is restored when the die temperature falls below 125°C with internal Power On Reset asserted, resulting in a full soft-start cycle. To accomplish this, the over-temperature comparator discharges the SS pin. This fault is prevented from setting the fault latch during softstart (SS < 1.3V). VTT Regulator Section (see Figure 3) The VTT regulator includes an internal resistor divider (50K for each resistor) from the output of the PWM regulator. If the REF IN pin is left open, the divider produces a voltage 50% of VDDQ IN. Using a low-impedance external precision voltage divider produces greater accuracy. The VTT regulator is enabled when S3#I is HIGH and the PWM regulator’s internal PGOOD signal is true. The VTT regulator also includes its own PGOOD signal, which is HIGH when VTT SNS > 90% of REF IN.
