RICHTEK RT9199

RT9199
Cost-Effective, 2A Peak Sink/Source Bus Termination Regulator
General Description
Features
The RT9199 is a simple, cost-effective and high-speed
linear regulator designed to generate termination voltage
in double data rate (DDR) memory system to comply with
the devices requirements. The regulator is capable of
actively sinking or sourcing up to 2A peak while regulating
an output voltage to within 20mV. The output termination
voltage can be tightly regulated to track 1/2VDDQ by two
external voltage divider resistors or the desired output
voltage can be pro-grammed by externally forcing the
REFEN pin voltage.
z
The RT9199 also incorporates a high-speed differential
amplifier to provide ultra-fast response in line/load transient.
Other features include extremely low initial offset voltage,
excellent load regulation, current limiting in bi-directions
and on-chip thermal shut-down protection.
z
The RT9199 are available in both SOP-8 and SOP-8
(Exposed Pad) surface mount packages.

Functional Pin Description
VIN
Input voltage which supplies current to the output pin. Connect this pin to a well-decoupled supply voltage. To prevent the
input rail from dropping during large load transient, a large, low ESR capacitor is recommended to use. The capacitor
should be placed as close as possible to the VIN pin.
GND (Exposed Pad)
Common Ground. The exposed pad must be soldered to a large PCB and connected to GND for maximum power
dissipation.
VCNTL
VCNTL supplies the internal control circuitry and provides the drive voltage. The driving capability of output current is
proportioned to the VCNTL. Connect this pin to 5V bias supply to handle large output current with at least 1μF capacitor
from this pin to GND. An important note is that VIN should be kept lower or equal to VCNTL.
REFEN
Reference voltage input and active low shutdown control pin. Two resistors dividing down the VIN voltage on the pin to
create the regulated output voltage. Pulling the pin to ground turns off the device by an open-drain, such as 2N7002,
signal N-MOSFET.
VOUT
Regulator output. VOUT is regulated to REFEN voltage that is used to terminate the bus resistors. It is capable of sinking
and sourcing current while regulating the output rail. To maintain adequate large signal transient response, typical value
of 1000μF Al electrolytic capacitor with 10μF ceramic capacitors are recommended to reduce the effects of current
transients on VOUT.

Application Information
Consideration while designing the resistance of

Refer to the “Typical Application Circuit”.Make sure the
current sinking capability of pull-down NMOS is enough
for the chosen voltage divider to pull-down the voltage at
REFEN pin below 0.15V to shutdown the device.

In addition, the capacitor CSS and voltage divider form the

one is for output voltage soft-start while another is for noise

The RT9199 could also serves as a general linear regulator.
The RT9199 accepts an external reference voltage at
REFEN pin and provides output voltage regulated to this
reference voltage as shown in Figure 6, where
VOUT = VREFEN x R2/(R1+R2)
As other linear regulator, dropout voltage and thermal issue
should be specially considered. Figure 7 shows the RDS(ON)

Input Capacitor and Layout Consideration
Place the input bypass capacitor as close as possible to
the RT9199. A low ESR capacitor larger than 470uF is
recommended for the input capacitor. Use short and wide
traces to minimize parasitic resistance and inductance.
Inappropriate layout may result in large parasitic inductance
and cause undesired oscillation between RT9199 and the
preceding power converter.
Thermal Consideration
RT9199 regulators have internal thermal limiting circuitry
designed to protect the device during overload conditions.
For continued operation, do not exceed absolute maximum
operation junction temperature 125°C. The power
dissipation definition in device is:
PD = (VIN - VOUT) x IOUT + VIN x IQ
www.richtek.com
9
RT9199
PD(MAX) = ( TJ(MAX) − TA ) / θJA
Where T J(MAX) is the maximum operation junction
temperature 125°C, TA is the ambient temperature and the
θJA is the junction to ambient thermal resistance. The
junction to ambient thermal resistance for SOP-8 package
(Exposed Pad) is 86°C/W, on standard JEDEC 51-7 (4
layers, 2S2P) thermal test board. The maximum power
dissipation at TA = 25°C can be calculated by following
formula:
PD(MAX) = (125°C − 25°C) / 86°C/W = 1.163W
Figure 8 shows the package sectional drawing of SOP-8
(Exposed Pad). Every package has several thermal
dissipation paths. As show in Figure 9, the thermal
resistance equivalent circuit of SOP-8 (Exposed Pad). The
path 2 is the main path due to these materials thermal
conductivity. We define the exposed pad is the case point
of the path 2.
The thermal resistance θJA of SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) is
determined by the package design and the PCB design.
However, the package design has been decided. If possible,
it’ s useful to increase thermal performance by the PCB
design. The thermal resistance can be decreased by
adding copper under the expose pad of SOP-8 package.
Figure 10 show the relation between thermal resistance
θJA and copper area on a standard JEDEC 51-7 (4 layers,
2S2P) thermal test board at TA = 25°C. We have to consider
the copper couldn’ t stretch infinitely and avoid the tin
overflow. We use the “Dog-Bone” copper patterns on the
top layer as Figure 11.
100
Thermal Resistance θJA (°C/W)
The maximum power dissipation depends on the thermal
resistance of IC package, PCB layout, the rate of
surroundings airflow and temperature difference between
junction to ambient. The maximum power dissipation can
be calculated by following formula:

As shown in Figure 12, the amount of copper area to which the SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) is mounted affects thermal
performance. When mounted to the standard SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) pad of 2 oz. copper (Figure 12.a), θJA is 86°C/W.
Adding copper area of pad under the SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) (Figure 12.b) reduces the θJA to 73°C/W. Even further,
increasing the copper area of pad to 70mm2 (Figure 12.d) reduces the θJA to 65°C/W.
(a) Copper Area = 10mm2, θJA = 86°C/W
(b) Copper Area = 30mm2, θJA = 73°C/W
