Having the termination voltage at midpoint, the power supply insures symmetry for switching times. Also, a reference voltage (VREF) that is free of any noise or voltage variations is needed for the DDR SDRAM input receiver, VREF is also equal to 1/2 VDDQ. Varying the VREF voltage will effect the setup and hold time of the memory. To comply with DDR requirements and to obtain best performance, VTT and VREF need to be tightly regulated to track 1/2 VDDQ across voltage, temperature, and noise margins. VTT should track any variations in the DC VREF value (VTT = VREF +/- 40 mV), (See Figure 4) for a DDR system level diagram. The 34712 supplies the VTT and a buffered VREF output. To ensure compliance with DDR specifications, the VDDQ line is applied to the VREFIN pin and divided by 2 internally through a precision resistor divider. This internal voltage is then used as the reference voltage for the VTT output. The same internal voltage is also buffered to give the VREF voltage at the VREFOUT pin for the application to use without the need for an external resistor divider. The 34712 provides the tight voltage regulation and power sequencing/tracking required along with handling the DDR peak transient current requirements. Buffering the VREF output helps its immunity against noise and load changes. The 34712 utilizes a voltage mode synchronous buck switching converter topology with integrated low RDS(ON) (45 mΩ) N-channel power MOSFETs to provide a VTT voltage with an accuracy of less than ±2.0 %. It has a programmable switching frequency that allows for flexibility and optimization over the operating conditions and can operate at up to 1.0 MHz to significantly reduce the external components size and cost. The 34712 can sink and source up to 3.0 A of continuous current. It provides protection against output over current, overvoltage, undervoltage, and overtemperature conditions. It also protects the system from short circuit events. It incorporates a power-good output signal to alert the host when a fault occurs. For boards that support the Suspend-To-RAM (S3) and the Suspend-To-Disk (S5) states, the 34712 offers the STBY and the SD pins respectively. Pulling any of these pins low, puts the IC in the corresponding state. By integrating the control/supervisory circuitry along with the Power MOSFET switches for the buck converter into a space-efficient package, the 34712 offers a complete, smallsize, cost-effective, and simple solution to satisfy the needs of DDR memory applications. Besides DDR memory termination, the 34712 can be used to supply termination for other active buses and graphics card memory. It can be used in Netcom/Telecom applications like servers. It can also be used in desktop motherboards, game consoles, set top boxes, and high end high definition TVs. VDDQ VTT VDDQ RT RS VREF BUS DDR Memory Input Receiver DDR Memory Controller Figure 4. DDR System Level Diagram FUNCTIONAL PIN DESCRIPTION REFERENCE VOLTAGE INPUT (VREFIN) The 34712 will track 1/2 the voltage applied at this pin. REFERENCE VOLTAGE OUTPUT (VREFOUT) This is a buffered reference voltage output that is equal to 1/2 VREFIN. It has a 10.0 mA current drive capability. This output is used as the VREF voltage rail and should be filtered against any noise. Connect a 0.1 µF, 6 V low ESR ceramic filter capacitor between this pin and the GND pin and between this pin and VDDQ rail. VREFOUT is also used as the reference voltage for the buck converter error amplifier. FREQUENCY ADJUSTMENT INPUT (FREQ) The buck converter switching frequency can be adjusted by connecting this pin to an external resistor divider between VDDI and GND pins. The default switching frequency (FREQ pin connected to ground, GND) is set at 1.0 MHz. SIGNAL GROUND (GND) Analog ground of the IC. Internal analog signals are referenced to this pin voltage. 34712 10 Analog Integrated Circuit Device Data Freescale Semiconductor FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION FUNCTIONAL PIN DESCRIPTION INTERNAL SUPPLY VOLTAGE OUTPUT (VDDI) POWER INPUT VOLTAGE (PVIN) This is the output of the internal bias voltage regulator. Connect a 1.0 µF, 6 V low ESR ceramic filter capacitor between this pin and the GND pin. Filtering any spikes on this output is essential to the internal circuitry stable operation. Buck converter power input voltage. This is the drain of the buck converter high-side power MOSFET. OUTPUT VOLTAGE DISCHARGE PATH (VOUT) Output voltage of the Buck Converter is connected to this pin. it only serves as the output discharge path once the SD signal is asserted. BOOTSTRAP INPUT (BOOT) Bootstrap capacitor input pin. Connect a capacitor (as discussed on page 19) between this pin and the SW pin to enhance the gate of the high-side Power MOSFET during switching. SHUTDOWN INPUT (SD) ERROR AMPLIFIER INVERTING INPUT (INV) COMPENSATION INPUT (COMP) If this pin is tied to the GND pin, the device will be in Shutdown Mode. If left unconnected or tied to the VIN pin, the device will be in Normal Mode. The pin has an internal pull up of 1.5 MΩ. This input accepts the S5 (Suspend-To-Disk) control signal. Buck converter external compensation network connects to this pin. Use a type III compensation network. STANDBY INPUT (STBY) Buck converter error amplifier inverting input. Connect the VTT voltage directly to this pin. INPUT SUPPLY VOLTAGE (VIN) IC power supply input voltage. Input filtering is required for the device to operate properly. POWER GROUND (PGND) Buck converter and discharge MOSFETs power ground. It is the source of the buck converter low-side power MOSFET. SWITCHING NODE (SW) Buck converter switching node. This pin is connected to the output inductor. If this pin is tied to the GND pin, the device will be in Standby Mode. If left unconnected or tied to the VIN pin, the device will be in Normal Mode. The pin has an internal pull up of 1.5 MΩ. This input accepts the S3 (Suspend-To-RAM) control signal. POWER GOOD OUTPUT SIGNAL (PG) This is an active low open drain output that is used to report the status of the device to a host. This output activates after a successful power up sequence and stays active as long as the device is in normal operation and is not experiencing any faults. This output activates after a 10 ms delay and must be pulled up by an external resistor to a supply voltage (e.g.,VIN.). 34712 Analog Integrated Circuit Device Data Freescale Semiconductor 11 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION FUNCTIONAL INTERNAL BLOCK DESCRIPTION FUNCTIONAL INTERNAL BLOCK DESCRIPTION Internal Bias Circuits System Control & Logic Oscillator Protection Functions Control & Supervisory Functions Tracking & Sequencing Buck Converter Figure 5. 34712 Internal Block Diagram INTERNAL BIAS CIRCUITS This block contains all circuits that provide the necessary supply voltages and bias currents for the internal circuitry. It consists of: • Internal Voltage Supply Regulator: This regulator supplies the VDDI voltage that is used to drive the digital/ analog internal circuits. It is equipped with a Power-OnReset (POR) circuit that watches for the right regulation levels. External filtering is needed on the VDDI pin. This block will turn off during the shutdown mode. • Internal Bandgap Reference Voltage: This supplies the reference voltage to some of the internal circuitry. • Bias Circuit: This block generates the bias currents necessary to run all of the blocks in the IC. SYSTEM CONTROL AND LOGIC This block is the brain of the IC where the device processes data and reacts to it. Based on the status of the STBY and SD pins, the system control reacts accordingly and orders the device into the right status. It also takes inputs from all of the monitoring/protection circuits and initiates power up or power down commands. It communicates with the buck converter to manage the switching operation and protects it against any faults. OSCILLATOR This block generates the clock cycles necessary to run the IC digital blocks. It also generates the buck converter switching frequency. The switching frequency has a default value of 1.0 MHz and can be programmed by connecting a resistor divider to the FREQ pin, between VDDI and GND pins (See Figure 1). PROTECTION FUNCTIONS This block contains the following circuits: • Over Current Limit and Short Circuit Detection: This block monitors the output of the buck converter for over current conditions and short circuit events and alerts the system control for further command. • Thermal Limit Detection: This block monitors the temperature of the device for overheating events. If the temperature rises above the thermal shutdown threshold, this block will alert the system control for further commands. • Output Overvoltage and Undervoltage Monitoring: This block monitors the buck converter output voltage to ensure it is within regulation boundaries. If not, this block alerts the system control for further commands. CONTROL AND SUPERVISORY FUNCTIONS This block is used to interface with an outside host. It contains the following circuits: • Standby Control Input: An outside host can put the 34712 device into standby mode (S3 or Suspend-ToRAM mode) by sending a logic “0” to the STBY pin. • Shutdown Control Input: An outside host can put the 34712 device into shutdown mode (S5 or Suspend-ToDisk mode) by sending a logic “0” to the SD pin. • Power Good Output Signal PG: The 34712 can communicate to an external host that a fault has 34712 12 Analog Integrated Circuit Device Data Freescale Semiconductor FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION FUNCTIONAL INTERNAL BLOCK DESCRIPTION occurred by releasing the drive on the PG pin high, allowing the signal/pin to be pulled high by the external pull-up resistor. TRACKING AND SEQUENCING This block allows the output of the 34712 to track 1/2 the voltage applied at the VREFIN pin. This allows the VREF and VTT voltages to track 1/2 VDDQ and assures that none of them will be higher than VDDQ at any point during normal operating conditions. For power down during a shutdown (S5) mode, the 34712 uses internal discharge MOSFETs (M5 and M6 on Figure 2) to discharge VTT and VREF respectively. These discharge MOSFETs are only active during shutdown mode. Using this block along with controlling the SD and STBY pins can offer the user power sequencing capabilities by controlling when to turn the 34712 outputs on or off. BUCK CONVERTER This block provides the main function of the 34712: DC to DC conversion from an un-regulated input voltage to a regulated output voltage used by the loads for reliable operation. The buck converter is a high performance, fixed frequency (externally adjustable), synchronous buck PWM voltage-mode control. It drives integrated 45 mΩ N-channel power MOSFETs saving board space and enhancing efficiency. The switching regulator output voltage is adjustable with an accuracy of less than ±2.0 % to meet DDR requirements. Its output has the ability to track 1/2 the voltage applied at the VREFIN pin. The regulator's voltage control loop is compensated using a type III compensation network, with external components to allow for optimizing the loop compensation, for a wide range of operating conditions. A typical Bootstrap circuit with an internal PMOS switch is used to provide the voltage necessary to properly enhance the high-side MOSFET gate. The 34712 is designed to address DDR memory power supplies. The integrated converter has the ability to both sink and source up to 3.0 A of continuous current, making it suitable for bus termination power supplies. 34712 Analog Integrated Circuit Device Data Freescale Semiconductor 13 FUNCTIONAL DEVICE OPERATION OPERATIONAL MODES FUNCTIONAL DEVICE OPERATION OPERATIONAL MODES VIN < 3.0V SD = 0 & STBY = x Shutdown VTT = Discharge VREF = Discharge 3.0V < = VIN < = 6.0V SD = 1 & STBY = 1 VTT > VOV VTT < VOV PG = 1 PG = 1 SD = 1 & STBY = 1 Normal VTT = ON VREF = ON Short Circuit VTT = OFF VREF = OFF tTIMEOUT Expired Undervoltage VTT = ON VREF = ON tTIMEOUT Expired TJ < = 145°C & tTIMEOUT Expired Thermal Shutdown VTT = OFF VREF = OFF PG = 1 IOUT > = ISHORT PG = 1 PG = 0 VTT > VUV VTT < VUV Standby VTT = OFF VREF = ON PG = 1 PG = 1 Overvoltage VTT = ON VREF = ON SD = 1 & STBY = 0 Power Off VTT = OFF VREF = OFF Over Current VTT = OFF VREF = ON IOUT > = ILIM For > = 10ms PG = 1 PG = 1 TJ > = 170°C Figure 6. Operation Modes Diagram MODES OF OPERATION The 34712 has three primary modes of operation: Normal Mode In normal mode, all functions and outputs are fully operational. To be in this mode, the VIN needs to be within its operating range, both Shutdown and Standby inputs are high, and no faults are present. This mode consumes the most amount of power. Standby Mode This mode is predominantly used in Desktop memory solutions where the DDR supply is desired to be ACPI compliant (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface). When this mode is activated by pulling the STBY pin low, VTT is put in High Z state, IOUT = 0 A, and VREF stays active. This is the S3 state Suspend-To-Ram or Self Refresh mode and it is the lowest DRAM power state. In this mode, the DRAM will preserve the data. While in this mode, the 34712 consumes less power than in the normal mode, because the buck converter and most of the internal blocks are disabled. Shutdown Mode In this mode, activated by pulling the SD pin low, the chip is in a shutdown state and the outputs are all disabled and discharged. This is the S4/S5 power state or Suspend-ToDisk state, where the DRAM will loose all of its data content (no power supplied to the DRAM). The reason to discharge the VTT and VREF lines is to ensure upon exiting, the Shutdown Mode that VTT and VREF are lower than VDDQ, otherwise VTT can remain floating high, and be higher than VDDQ upon powering up. In this mode, the 34712 consumes the least amount of power since almost all of the internal blocks are disabled. START-UP SEQUENCE When power is first applied, the 34712 checks the status of the SD and STBY pins. If the device is in a shutdown mode, no block will power up and the output will not attempt to ramp. If the device is in a standby mode, only the VDDI internal supply voltage and the bias currents are established and no further activities will occur. Once the SD and STBY pins are released to enable the device, the internal VDDI POR signal is also released. The rest of the internal blocks will be enabled 34712 14 Analog Integrated Circuit Device Data Freescale Semiconductor FUNCTIONAL DEVICE OPERATION PROTECTION AND DIAGNOSTIC FEATURES and the buck converter switching frequency value is determined by reading the FREQ pin. A soft start cycle is then initiated to ramp up the output of the buck converter (VTT). The buck converter error amplifier uses the voltage on the VREFOUT pin (VREF) as its reference voltage. VREF is equal to 1/2 VDDQ, where VDDQ is applied to the VREFIN pin. This way, the 34712 assures that VREF and VTT voltages track 1/2 VDDQ to meet DDR requirements. Soft start is used to prevent the output voltage from overshooting during startup. At initial startup, the output capacitor is at zero volts; VOUT = 0 V. Therefore, the voltage across the inductor will be PVIN during the capacitor charge phase which will create a very sharp di/dt ramp. Allowing the inductor current to rise too high can result in a large difference between the charging current and the actual load current that can result in an undesired voltage spike once the capacitor is fully charged. The soft start is active each time the IC goes out of standby or shutdown mode, power is recycled, or after a fault retry. To fully take advantage of soft starting, it is recommended not to enable the 34712 output before introducing VDDQ on the VREFIN pin. If this happens after a soft start cycle expires and the VREFIN voltage has a high dv/dt, the output will naturally track it immediately and ramp up with a fast dv/dt itself and that will defeat the purpose of soft starting. For reliable operation, it is best to have the VDDQ voltage available before enabling the output of the 34712. After a successful start-up cycle where the device is enabled, no faults have occurred, and the output voltage has reached its regulation point, the 34712 pulls the power good output signal low after a 10 ms reset delay, to indicate to the host that the device is in normal operation. PROTECTION AND DIAGNOSTIC FEATURES The 34712 monitors the application for several fault conditions to protect the load from overstress. The reaction of the IC to these faults ranges from turning off the outputs to just alerting the host that something is wrong. In the following paragraphs, each fault condition is explained: Output Overvoltage An overvoltage condition occurs once the output voltage goes higher than the rising overvoltage threshold (VOVR). In this case, the power good output signal is pulled high, alerting the host that a fault is present, but the VTT and VREF outputs will stay active. To avoid erroneous overvoltage conditions, a 20 µs filter is implemented. The buck converter will use its feedback loop to attempt to correct the fault. Once the output voltage falls below the falling overvoltage threshold (VOVF), the fault is cleared and the power good output signal is pulled low, the device is back in normal operation. Output Undervoltage An undervoltage condition occurs once the output voltage falls below the falling undervoltage threshold (VUVF). In this case, the power good output signal is pulled high, alerting the host that a fault is present, but the VTT and VREF outputs will stay active. To avoid erroneous undervoltage conditions, a 20 µs filter is implemented. The buck converter will use its feedback loop to attempt to correct the fault. Once the output voltage rises above the rising undervoltage threshold (VUVR), the fault is cleared and the power good output signal is pulled low, the device is back in normal operation. Output Over Current This block detects over current in the Power MOSFETs of the buck converter. It is comprised of a sense MOSFET and a comparator. The sense MOSFET acts as a current detecting device by sampling a ratio of the load current. That sample is compared via the comparator with an internal reference to determine if the output is in over current or not. If the peak current in the output inductor reaches the over current limit (ILIM), the converter will start a cycle-by-cycle operation to limit the current, and a 10 ms over current limit timer (tLIM) starts. The converter will stay in this mode of operation until one of the following occurs: • The current is reduced back to the normal level before tLIM expires, and in this case normal operation is regained. • tLIM expires without regaining normal operation, at which point the device turns off the output and the power good output signal is pulled high. At the end of a time-out period of 100 ms (tTIMEOUT), the device will attempt another soft start cycle. • The device reaches the thermal shutdown limit (TSDFET) and turns off the output. The power good output signal is pulled high. Short Circuit Current Limit This block uses the same current detection mechanism as the over current limit detection block. If the load current reaches the ISHORT value, the device reacts by shutting down the output immediately. This is necessary to prevent damage in case of a permanent short circuit. Then, at the end of a time-out period of 100 ms (tTIMEOUT), the device will attempt another soft start cycle. Thermal Shutdown Thermal limit detection block monitors the temperature of the device and protects against excessive heating. If the temperature reaches the thermal shutdown threshold (TSDFET), the converter output switches off and the power good output signal indicates a fault by pulling high. The device will stay in this state until the temperature has decreased by the hysteresis value and then After a time-out period (TTIMEOUT) of 100 ms, the device will retry automatically and the output will go through a soft start cycle. If successful normal operation is regained, the power good output signal is asserted low to indicate that. 34712 Analog Integrated Circuit Device Data Freescale Semiconductor 15 TYPICAL APPLICATIONS PROTECTION AND DIAGNOSTIC FEATURES TYPICAL APPLICATIONS VIN I/O SIGNALS BOOT VIN BOOT VDDI C15 SW 4.7_nopop VDDI J2 0.1uF PVIN R16 PVIN 1 3 2 1 R11 10k FREQ 19 PVIN 21 20 PVIN BOOT 22 VIN VDDI R12 10k_nopop FREQ J3 GND VMASTER VOUT 23 U1 24 C14 0.1uF VIN VIN GND PVIN 3 2 1 SGND 2 FREQ 3 N/C PVIN 18 SW 17 SW 16 SW SW MC34712 PG VMASTER PGOOD LED PG 4 SW 15 GND 14 GND 13 PG STBY STBY 5 STBY SD 6 SD GND GND 12 INV VOUT 11 10 COMP VREFOUT 9 7 R7 1k R8 10k_nopop 8 VIN VREFIN SD VMASTER VREFIN VREFIN D1 LED VREFIN R9 10k_nopop C11 C13 0.1uF 0.1uF LED VOUT VOUT VREFOUT VREFOUT INV COMP JUMPERS BUCK CONVERTER VOUT1 INV COMP C12 0.1uF VOUT2 J1 L1 SW 1 VOUT 2 STBY 1.5uH D2 PVIN VMASTER LED R3 4.7_nopop 1 C6 100uF C7 100uF 2 C8 100uF 1 3 5 7 9 2 4 6 8 10 VREFIN PG STBY SD PMEG2010EA_nopop C9 1nF_nopop 1 CON10A 2 SD COMPENSATION NETWORK PVIN CAPACITORS VOUT OPTIONAL nopop VDDI PVIN C20 1nF R14 300 0.02nF R15 15k C2 1uF C3 100uF C4 100uF FREQ R6 POT_50K_nopop C5 100uF R1 20k INV C18 COMP C1 0.1uF VIN CAPACITORS VIN C19 1.9nF R2 12.7k_nopop C17 10uF C16 0.1uF 34712 16 Analog Integrated Circuit Device Data Freescale Semiconductor TYPICAL APPLICATIONS PROTECTION AND DIAGNOSTIC FEATURES COMPONENT SELECTION SWITCHING FREQUENCY SELECTION The switching frequency defaults to a value of 1.0 MHz when the FREQ pin is grounded, and 200 KHz when the FREQ pin is connected to VDDI. Intermediate switching frequencies can be obtained by connecting an external resistor divider to the FREQ pin. The table below shows the resulting switching frequency versus FREQ pin voltage.

Poor quality capacitors have widely disparate ESR value, which can make the closed loop response inconsistent. CX CF COMP 34712 Figure 9.

Knowing the LC frequency, it can be obtained the values of RF and CS: TYPE III COMPENSATION NETWORK Power supplies are desired to offer accurate and tight regulation output voltages. To accomplish this requires a high DC gain. But with high gain comes the possibility of instability. The purpose of adding compensation to the internal error amplifier is to counteract some of the gains and phases contained in the control-to-output transfer function that could jeopardized the stability of the power supply. The Type III compensation network used for 34712 comprises two poles (one integrator and one high frequency pole to cancel the zero generated from the ESR of the output capacitor) and two zeros to cancel the two poles generated from the LC filter as shown in Figure 9. This gives as a result, & 34712 18 Analog Integrated Circuit Device Data Freescale Semiconductor TYPICAL APPLICATIONS PROTECTION AND DIAGNOSTIC FEATURES Calculate Rs by placing the Pole 1 at the ESR zero frequency: ⇒ BOOTSTRAP CAPACITOR ⇒ Equating the Pole 2 at Crossover Frequency to achieve a faster response and a proper phase margin, The bootstrap capacitor is needed to supply the gate voltage for the high side MOSFET. This N-Channel MOSFET needs a voltage difference between its gate and source to be able to turn on. The high side MOSFET source is the SW node, so it is not ground and it is floating and moving in voltage, so we cannot just apply a voltage directly to the gate of the high side that is referenced to ground, we need a voltage referenced to the SW node. That is why the bootstrap capacitor is needed for. This capacitor charges during the high side off time, since the low side will be on during that time, so the SW node and the bottom of the bootstrap capacitor will be connected to ground and the top of the capacitor will be connected to a voltage source, so the capacitor will charge up to that voltage source (say 5V). Now when the low side MOSFET switches off and the high side MOSFET switches on, the SW nodes rises up to Vin, and the voltage on the boot pin will be Vcap + Vin. So the gate of the high side will have Vcap across it and it will be able to stay enhanced. A 0.1µF capacitor is a good value for this bootstrap element. 34712 Analog Integrated Circuit Device Data Freescale Semiconductor 19 PACKAGING PACKAGING DIMENSIONS PACKAGING PACKAGING DIMENSIONS EP SUFFIX 24 -PIN PLASTIC PACKAGE 98ARL10577D ISSUE B 34712 20 Analog Integrated Circuit Device Data Freescale Semiconductor PACKAGING PACKAGING DIMENSIONS EP SUFFIX 24 -PIN PLASTIC PACKAGE 98ARL10577D ISSUE B 34712 Analog Integrated Circuit Device Data Freescale Semiconductor 21 REVISION HISTORY REVISION HISTORY REVISION DATE DESCRIPTION OF CHANGES 1.0 2/2006 • • Pre-release version Implemented Revision History page 2.0 11/2006 • • • Initial release Converted format from Market Assessment to Product Preview Major updates to the data, form, and style 3.0 2/2007 • • • Replaced all electrolytic capacitors with ceramic ones in Figure 1 Deleted Deadtime in Dynamic Electrical Characteristics Moved Figures 8 ahead of TYPE III COMPENSATION NETWORK 4.0 5/2007 • • • • Changed Features fom 2% to 1% Changed 34712 Simplified Application Diagram Removed Machine Model in Maximum Ratings Added minimum limits to Input DC Supply Current (11) Normal mode, Input DC Supply Current (11) Standby mode, and Input DC Supply Current (11) Shutdown mode Added High-side MOSFET Drain Voltage Range Changed Output Voltage Accuracy (12), (13), (14) Changed Short Circuit Current Limit Changed High-Side N-CH Power MOSFET (M3) RDS(ON) (12) and Low-Side N-CH Power MOSFET (M4) RDS(ON) (12) Changed M2 RDS(ON) Changed PVIN Pin Leakage Current Changed VREFOUT Buffered Reference Voltage Accuracy (17), VREFOUT Buffered Reference Voltage Current Capability, and VREFOUT Buffered Reference Voltage Over Current Limit Changed STBY Pin Internal Pull Up Resistor and SD Pin Internal Pull Up Resistor Changed Soft Start Duration, Over Current Limit Retry Time-out Period, and Output Undervoltage/ Overvoltage Filter Delay Timer Changed Oscillator Default Switching Frequency (18) Changed PG Reset Delay and Thermal Shutdown Retry Time-out Period (19) Changed drawings in Typical Applications Changed drawing in Type III Compensation Network Removed PC34712EP/R2 from the ordering information and added MC34712EP/R2 Changed the data sheet status to Advance Information • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • 34712 22 Analog Integrated Circuit Device Data Freescale Semiconductor How to Reach Us: Home Page: www.freescale.com Web Support: http://www.freescale.com/support USA/Europe or Locations Not Listed: Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.
