The linear controllers use dominant pole compensation integrated into the error amplifier and are sensitive to output capacitor selection. When driving external pass transistor, normally a minimum 470μF capacitor must be placed at output for stability and good transient response. When using internal pass transistor, just need 10μF capacitor for stable. There are two critical layout considerations. One is the divider resistors should be located to RT9174 as possible to avoid inducing any noise. The second is COUT should be put at near the pass transistor to avoid oscillation. VDD 1uF The RT9174 are designed specifically to driver external NPN or NMOSFET pass transistor for up to 5A output current. The driver could deliver more 100mA when driving NPN transistor and sinking for a pull up resistor load when driving a NMOSFET. VOUT FB1 FB2 FB3 R1 + Pass Transistor Selection VDD VIN DR11 RT9174 DR12 DR13 COUT R2 As close as to RT9174 Figure 4 Typically pass transistor with NPN hfe > 50 at Imax or NMOSFET Rds-on 100mΩ are suitable in most application. Output Voltage Setting The RT9174 develop a 0.8V reference voltage, especially suit for low voltage application. As shown in Figure 4, the output voltage could be easy set by R1 & R2 resistor. The divided resistor must keep below 1kΩ for quick response and stability. Tri-state Operation A special Tri-state design is empolyed in the RT9174 for AGP 2X/4X power supply. Typical application shown the detail circuit. In AGP 2X SELECT = open, FB1 will be pulled up over 1.3V through R8 to trip the Tri-state threshold. R8 has to meet the following relationship: R8 < 0.75 (V33 - 1.3) x R2, R3 + R2 if × 0.8 = 1.5 . R3 When in AGP 4X SELECT = GND, VDDQ will work in normal 1.5V setting. www.richtek.com 6 DS9174-08 April 2011 RT9174 Outline Dimension H A M J B F C I D Dimensions In Millimeters Dimensions In Inches Symbol Min Max Min Max A 4.801 5.004 0.189 0.197 B 3.810 3.988 0.150 0.157 C 1.346 1.753 0.053 0.069 D 0.330 0.508 0.013 0.020 F 1.194 1.346 0.047 0.053 H 0.170 0.254 0.007 0.010 I 0.050 0.254 0.002 0.010 J 5.791 6.200 0.228 0.244 M 0.400 1.270 0.016 0.050 8-Lead SOP Plastic Package Richtek Technology Corporation Richtek Technology Corporation Headquarter Taipei Office (Marketing) 5F, No. 20, Taiyuen Street, Chupei City 5F, No. 95, Minchiuan Road, Hsintien City Hsinchu, Taiwan, R.O.C.
