The maximum allowable continuous power dissipation at any ambient temperature is calculated by PD(MAX)=(TJ(MAX)TA)/ θJA. Exceeding the maximum allowable power dissipation will cause excessive die temperature, and the regulator will go into thermal shutdown. Internal thermal shutdown circuitry protects the device from permanent damage. 3) The device is not guaranteed to function outside of its operating conditions. 4) Measured on JESD51-7 4-layer board. www.MonolithicPower.com MPS Proprietary Information.

The IC is enabled whenever VDDQ UVLO is pulled low. VTTREF output begins to track VREF/2. When the VTTEN pin is high, the VTT regulator is activated. VTTREF Output The VTTREF output tracks VREF/2 with 2% accuracy. It has source current capability of up to 15mA. VTTREF should be bypassed to analog ground of the device by 1.0F ceramic capacitor for stable operation. The VTTREF is turned on as long as VDDQ is higher the UVLO threshold. VTTREF features a soft-start and tracks VREF/2. Output Voltages Sensing The VTT output voltage is sensed across the VTTSEN and GND pins. The VTTSEN should be connected to the VTT regulation point, which is MP20073 Rev. 1.0 10/16/2012 usually the VTT local bypass capacitor, via a direct sense trace. The GND should be connected via a direct sense trace to the ground of the VTT local bypass capacitor for load. VDDQ UVLO Protection For VDDQ undervoltage lockout (UVLO) protection, the MP20073 monitors VDDQ voltage. When the VDDQ voltage is lower than UVLO threshold voltage, the VTT regulator is shut off. Current Protection of VTT Active Terminator To provide protection for the internal FETs, over current limit(OCL) of 3A is implemented. The LDO has a constant overcurrent limit (OCL) at 3A. This trip point is reduced to 1.0 A if the output voltage drops below 1/3 of the target voltage. www.MonolithicPower.com MPS Proprietary Information. Patent Protected.

All Rights Reserved. 7 MP20073 – 2A, 1.3V-6.0V INPUT, DDR MEMORY TERMINATION REGUALTOR Thermal Consideration of VTT Active Terminator 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 exceeded. The 8-pin MSOP with ExposedPAD has a thermal resistance of 50oC/W (dependent on air flow, and PCB design). In order to take full advantage of the thermal capability of this package, the exposed pad should be soldered directly onto the PCB ground layer to allow good thermal contact. It is recommended that the PCB should have 10 to 15 vias with 0.3mm drill size underneath the exposed thermal pad connecting all the ground layers MP20073 Rev. 1.0 10/16/2012 Supply Voltage Undervoltage Monitor The IC continuously monitors VDDQ. If VDDQ is set higher than its preset threshold and VTTEN is high too, the IC will start up. Thermal Shutdown When the chip junction temperature exceeds 150oC, the entire IC is shutdown. The IC resumes normal operation only after the junction temperature dropping below 125oC. www.MonolithicPower.com MPS Proprietary Information. Patent Protected.

All Rights Reserved. 8 MP20073 – 2A, 1.3V-6.0V INPUT, DDR MEMORY TERMINATION REGUALTOR APPLICATION INFORMATION Input Capacitor Depending on the trace impedance from the power supply to the part, transient increase of source current is supplied mostly by the charge from the VDDQ input capacitor. Use a 10μF (or more) ceramic capacitor to supply this transient charge. Provide more input capacitance as more output capacitance is used at VTT. In general, use 1/2 COUT for input. Output Capacitor For stable operation, total capacitance of the VTT output terminal can be equal or greater than 20μF. Attach two 10μF ceramic capacitors in parallel to minimize the effect of ESR and ESL. If the ESR is greater than 10m, insert an R-C filter between the output and the VTTSEN input to achieve loop stability. The R-C filter time constant should be almost the same or slightly lower than the time constant of the output capacitor and its ESR. VDRV Capacitor Add a ceramic capacitor with a value between 1.0μF and 4.7μF placed close to the VDRV pin, to stabilize 3.3V from any parasitic impedance from the supply. Thermal design As the MP20073 is a linear regulator, the VTT current flow in both source and sink directions generate power dissipation from the device. In the source phase, the potential difference between VDDQ and VTT times VTT current becomes the power dissipation, Psource=(VDDQ-VTT) x Isource In this case, if VDDQ is connected to an alternative power supply lower than VDDQ voltage, power loss can be decreased. For the sink phase, VTT voltage is applied across the internal LDO regulator, and the power dissipation Psink is: The device does not sink and source the current at the same time and source/sink current varies rapidly with time. The actual power dissipation to be considered for thermal design is an average of the above values over time. Another power consumption is the current used for internal control circuitry from VDDQ supply. This power needs to be effectively dissipated from the package. PCB Layout Guidelines Good PCB layout design is critical to ensure high performance and stable operation of the DDR power controller. The following items must be considered when preparing PCB layout: 1. All high−current traces must be kept as short and wide as possible to reduce power loss. High−current traces are the trace from the input voltage terminal to VDDQ pin, the trace from the VTT output terminal to the load, the trace from the input ground terminal to the VTT output ground terminal, and the trace from VTT output ground terminal to the GND pin. Power handling and heaksinking of high−current traces can be improved by also routing the same high−current traces in the other layers by the same path and joining them together with multiple vias. 2. To ensure the proper function of the device, separated ground connections should be used for different parts of the application circuit according to their functions. The VTT output capacitor ground should be connected to the GND pin first with a short trace, it is then connected to the ground plane of GND. The input capacitor ground, the VTT output capacitor ground, the VDDQ decoupling capacitor ground should be connected to the GND plane.

It is recommended to use a PCB with 1 oz or 2oz copper foil. 4. A separate sense trace should be used to connect the VTT point of regulation, which is usually the local bypass capacitor for load, to the VTTSEN pin. connect the VREF point of regulation to the VTTREF pin to ensure the accuracy of the reference voltage to VTT. 6. VDDQ should be connected to VREF Input with wide and short trace if VDDQ is used as the sourcing supply for VTT. An input capacitor of at least 10F should be added close to the VDDQ pin and bypassed to GND if external voltage supply is used as the VTT sourcing supply. 5. Separate sense trace should be used to MP20073 Rev. 1.0 10/16/2012 www.MonolithicPower.com MPS Proprietary Information. Patent Protected.
