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
ƒ 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.

FAN5078D3 — Complete ACPI Compliant Power Solution for DDR3 Memory System
Electrical Specifications (Continued)
Overview
The FAN5078D3 provides five functions:
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.

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.
ƒ
SBSW and SBUSB# both pull HIGH to turn off their
P-channel switches.
ƒ
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.

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).

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.

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.

Care should also be taken to ensure that 3.3V-ALW does not
glitch during the transition to S0. 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.

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

=
+ 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.

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.

R5 in Figure 1 is the current limit setting resistor and

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.

Current Processing Section
Reference Output for ULDO Controllers
Gate Drive
ISNS is compared to the current established when a 0.9V
internal reference drives the ILIM pin. 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.

(100 + R SENSE )

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.

Figure 13. Compensation Network
Figure 12. 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.

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).
ƒ
SS is above 3.5V
ƒ
Fault latch is cleared
ƒ
FB is between 90% and 110% of VREF
ƒ
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
ƒ
VDDQ IN (PWM output voltage) > 1V
ƒ
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.

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.

component selections and verifying loop stability.
Power MOSFET Selection
For a complete analysis of MOSFET selection and efficiency
calculations, see Application Note AN-6005: Synchronous

The spreadsheet calculator can be used to calculate external
component values for the FAN5078D3. The spreadsheet
calculates compensation components that can be verified in
the PSPICE model to ensure stability.
3.3V and VTT LDO Output Capacitors
The PSPICE model in AN-6006 simulates both loop stability
(Bode Plot) and transient analysis, and can be customized
for a wide variety of applications and external component
configurations.
For stability, use at least 100μF for 3.3V-ALW bypass
capacitor with a minimum ESR of 20mΩ.
The VTT output is typically bypassed with 820μF with at
least 30mΩ ESR.
