VSEN SE
VSEN SE p in is a feedback p in. Connect a 10nF to 100nF Ceramic cap acitor
between this p in to ground and p lace this cap acitor close to VSEN SE p in is
required to avoid oscillation during transient condition.
4
V REF
VREF p in is an outp ut p in, which p rovides the buffered outp ut of the internal
reference voltage. A 100nF ceramic cap acitor should be connected from
VREF p in to ground with shor t trace.
5
VDDQ
The VDDQ p in is an inp ut p in for creating internal reference voltage to
regulate V TT. The VDDQ voltage is connected to an internal resistor divider.
The central tap of resistor divider (VDDQ/2) is connected to the internal
voltage buffer, which outp ut is connected to VREF p in and the non-inver ting
inp ut of the error amp lifier as the reference voltage. With the feedback loop
closed, the V TT outp ut voltage will always track the VDDQ/2 p recisely. It is
recommended that a 1uF ceramic cap acitor should be added next to the
VDDQ p in to ground to increase the noise immunity.
6
AVCC
The AVCC p in is used to sup p ly all of the internal control circuitry. The AVCC
voltage has to be greater than its UVLO threshold voltage (2.1V typ ical) to
allow the SC2596 to be in normal op eration. If AVCC voltage is lower than
the UVLO threshold voltage, the V TT p in should be in high imp edance
status.
7
PVCC
The PVCC p in p rovides the rail voltage from where the V TT p in draws load
current. There is a limitation between AVCC and PVCC. The PVCC voltage must
be less or equal to AVCC voltage to ensure the correct outp ut voltage regulation.
The V TT source current cap ability is dep endent on PVCC voltage. Higher the
voltage on PVCC, higher the source current.
8
V TT
The V TT p in is the outp ut of SC2596. It can sink and source continuous current
while keep ing excellent load regulation. It is recommended that one should
use at least one 220uF low ESR cap acitor and a 1uF ceramic cap acitor or
on e 220u F h i gh ESR electrol y ti c cap aci tor an d a 6.8u F cerami c cap aci tor,
which are p laced on the V TT strip p lane to ground reducing the voltage

Description
ERROR AMP
SC2596 is a low-voltage, low-dropout DDR termination
regulator with separate power supply to support both
DDR1 and DDR2 applications. AVCC and PVCC can be
tied together for DDR1 and can also be separated for
DDR2.
Low input offset op-amp for the main linear regulator. It
controls the VTT output voltage and which side of the
MOSFET to turn on (or turn off) to achieve zero shoot
through current.
ANTI-Shoot Thought Driver
SC2596 regulates VTT to the voltage of VREF. VTT will
sink or source upto 2.5A. Internal shoot-through protection ensure both top and bottom MOSFET will not conduct while maintaining fast source-to-sink load transient.
Thermal shut-down and internal current limit protect
SC2596 from shorted load or over-heated
Buffer stage takes the error voltage to control MOSFET.
Internal current limit is incorporated to protect from
shorted load.
THERMAL SHUTDOWN & UVLO
VREF BUFF
The Thermal shutdown block prevent the junction temperature exceed 165 oC. UVLO circuit to ensure proper
power is available for correct operation of the IC.
VREF is derived from VDDQ with an accurate divide by
op-amps(VREF Buffer). It is capable to sink and source
30uA. It is used as the reference voltage to the Error
amp. A 100nF or higher capacitor is recommended for
VREF pin to ground; To enhance the noise immunity from
board, an additional pull-down resistor (1MΩ) is
recomanded as well from VREF pin to ground.

POWER MANAGEMENT
Application Information
cause a large trace inductance and trace resistance.
Consider the load transient condition, a fast load current going through VTT strip plane will create a voltage
spike on VTT plane and a DC voltage drop for load current.
It is recommanded the VSENSE pin should be connected
center of VTT plane to improve regulation and transient
response.
Overview
Double Data Rate (DDR) SDRAM was defined by JEDEC
1997. Its clock speed is the same as previous SDRAM
but data transfer speed is twice than previous SDRAM.
By now, the requirement voltage range is changed from
3.3V to 2.5V or 1.8V; the power dissipation is smaller
than SDRAM. For above reasons, it is very popular and
widely used in M/B, N/B, Video-cards, CD ROM drives,
Disk drives.
A longer trace of VSENSE may pick up noise and cause
the error of load regulation. Hence designer should avoid
a longer trace between VSENSE to VTT plane. A 100nF
ceramic capacitor close to VSENSE pin is required.
Regarding the DDR power management solution, there
are two topologies can be selected for system designers.
One is switching mode regulator that has bigger sink/
source current capability, but the cost is higher and needs
more board space. Another solution is linear mode regulator, which costs less, and needs less board space. For
two DIMM motherboards, system designers usually
choose the linear mode regulator for DDR power management solution.
VREF
VREF pin is an output pin to provid internal reference
voltage. System designer can use the voltage for
Northbridge chipset and memory. It is necessary to add
a ceramic capacitor (100nF) from VREF pin to ground
with shortest trace.
Thermal shutdown
Typical Application Circuits & Waveforms
The SC2596 has built-in thermal detected circuit to prevent this device from over temperature and damage.
The SC2596 goes into shunt down mode when temperature is higher than 165OC. The protection condition
will release when the temperature of device drop down
by 10OC.
Four different application circuits are shown below in Figure 1, Figure 2, Figure 3 and Figure 4. Each circuit is
designed for a specific condition. See Note a. and b.
below for recommended power up sequencing.
AVCC and PVCC
The AVCC pin, PVCC pin and the VDDQ pin can be tied
together for SSTL-2 application (Figure 1). It only needs
a 2.5V power rail for normal operation. System designer
can save the PCB space and reduce the cost.
Application_1: Standard SSTL-2 Application
AVCC and PVCC are the input supply pins for the SC2596.
AVCC is supply voltage for all the internal control circuitry.
The AVCC voltage has to be greater than its UVLO threshold voltage (2.1V typical) to allow the SC2596 to be normal operation.
VDDQ

The PVCC pin provides the rail voltage from where the

AVCC and PVCC. The PVCC voltage must be less or equal

PRELIMINARY
Application_2: Lower Power Loss Configuration for
SSTL-2
Application_3: High Source Current Configuration
If there is a need for VTT to source more current, especially for DDR-II applications, the system designer can tie
the AVCC and PVCC to 3.3V while has the VDDQ tie to 1.
8V. This configuration can ensure more than 2A source
and sink capability from the VTT rail.
If power loss is a major concern, separating the PVCC
form AVCC and VDDQ will be a good choice (Figure 2).
The PVCC can operate at lower voltage (1.8V to 2.5V) if
2.5V voltage is applied on AVCC and the VDDQ, the source
current is lower due to the lower operating voltage applied on the PVCC.

Layout guidelines
1) The EDP SO-8 package of SC2596 can improve the
thermal impedance (θJC) significantly. A suitable thermal
pad should be add when PCB layout. Some thermal vias
are required to connect the thermal pad to the PCB
ground layer. This will improve the thermal performance.
Please refer to the recommanded landing pattern.
2) To increase the noise immunity, a ceramic capacitor
of 100nF is required to decouple the VREF pin with the
shortest connection trace.
3) To reduce the noise on input power rail for standard
SSTL-2 application, a 100 µF low ESR capacitor and a
1µF ceramic capacitor capacitor have to be used on the
input power rail with shortest possible connection.
4) VTT output copper plane should be as large as
possible. A 4.7uF to 10µF capacitor have to be used to
decouple the VTT pin.
5) The trace between VSENSE pin and VTT rail should be
as short as possible and put a 10nF ~100nF capacitor
close this vsense pin.
