www.enpirion.com, Page 11 Rev: C EV1320QI Functional Description Table 1. Typical Soft-Start Capacitance Time Table VDDQ/VTT Converter (No Load) The EV1320QI is designed to replace low efficiency linear regulators as well as expensive switch-mode DCDC memory terminations. The patented EV1320QI architecture provides efficiencies up to 96% with a solution footprint similar to that of a linear regulator. SS Capacitance (nF) VTT Rise Time (µs) 27 450 15 265 6.8 140 2.7 70 1 40 0.47 30 0.27 25 0.1 20 VOUT (VTT) tracks ½VDDQ with ±40mV accuracy and is compliant with DDR2/3/QDR and low power DDR4 JEDEC memory termination requirements. The EV1320QI tracks VDDQ directly so there is no need for a separate reference voltage or resistor divider network. If a VREF signal is needed for the VTT termination, it can be generated by an external VREF divider circuit from VDDQ, as shown in Figure 5. The RVREF resistors divide the VDDQ voltage by 2 and can be used as the VREF signal. Choose high accuracy resistors for RVREF. If more current is needed for VREF, the divider signal may be buffered by a voltage follower as shown in Figure 5. Be sure the RVREF resistor values are negligible compared to the input impedance of the voltage follower to ensure VREF voltage accuracy. Soft-Start Operation The EV1320QI has a programmable soft-start. The EV1320 can operate with AVIN on, ENABLE high, and VDDQ ramped up and down. If, however, VDDQ comes up first, and then the device is enabled, the soft-start capacitor limits the rise of the output (VTT). The output (VTT) ramp rate is determined by the value of the soft start (SS) capacitor, as shown in Table 1. The soft-start time begins when ENABLE crosses its threshold until VTT reaches final value. 06831 Enable Operation The ENABLE pin provides a means to enable or disable operation of the part. When enable is pulled high the device will go through a soft start sequence. When enable is pulled low such as if the memory device enters S3 (suspend to RAM), the output will be discharged through a 100Ω resistor. Please note that if the equivalent load resistance is lower than 100Ω, the output will discharge faster. The ENABLE pin should not be left floating. Power OK (POK) The EV1320QI provides an open drain output to indicate if the output voltage stays within nominally +/- 10% of VDDQ/2. Within this range, the POK output is allowed to be pulled high. Outside this range, POK remains low. However, during transitions such as enable/disable and fault restart the POK output will not change state until the transition is complete for enhanced noise immunity. Figure 5. VREF Divider External Circuit Enpirion 2012 all rights reserved, E&OE NOTE: If a fault condition occurs during normal operation the output is discharged through a 100Ω resistor for a period of 1.5mS and then a soft start cycle is initiated. The POK has 1mA sink capability for events where it needs to feed a device with standard CMOS inputs. When POK is pulled high, the pin leakage current is as low as 25µA maximum over temperature. This allows a large pull up resistor such as 100kΩ to be used for minimal current consumption in shutdown mode. Enpirion Confidential April 9, 2012 www.enpirion.com, Page 12 Rev: C EV1320QI Over-Current Protection The overload function is achieved by sensing the output voltage. An overload state is entered when the device is out of soft start and the output voltage drops below ~85% of VDDQ/2. When an OCP condition is detected, the device is disabled, the output is discharged through a 100 resistor for a period of 1.5mS. After the 1.5mS discharge time has expired, a soft start is initiated as described in the soft start section. If an over current condition is again detected the device will repeat the discharge/soft start cycle in a hiccup manner as long as the over current condition persists. Enpirion 2012 all rights reserved, E&OE 06831 Thermal Overload Protection Thermal shutdown will disable operation when the Junction temperature exceeds approximately 150ºC. Output will discharge through a 100 ohm resistor for 1.5mS. If the thermal fault condition is still present then the device will hiccup until temp falls by 25°C. Once the junction temperature drops by approximately 25ºC, the converter will re-start with a normal soft-start. Input Under-Voltage Lock-out Internal circuits ensure that the converter will not start switching until the AVIN voltage is above the specified minimum voltage. Enpirion Confidential April 9, 2012 www.enpirion.com, Page 13 Rev: C EV1320QI Application Information Figure 6. General Application Circuit for 2A Operation General Application Circuit Figure 6 shows a typical application circuit for the EV1320QI. The resistor before the AVIN capacitor is optional, but recommended if AVIN supply is noisy. NOTE: The output filter capacitor section assumes that there is additional decoupling on the VTT island(s) of approximately 100µF per amp of VTT current. If this VTT decoupling is not present, additional bulk capacitance will be required on the EV1320QI output. Soft-Start ramp rate is set by choice of the soft start capacitor (CSS) as described in the soft start section. Power Up Sequence During power up, neither ENABLE nor VDDQ Enpirion 2012 all rights reserved, E&OE 06831 should be asserted before AVIN. There are two common acceptable turn-on/off sequences for the device. ENABLE can be tied to AVIN and come up with it, and VDDQ can be ramped up and down as needed. In this case, the output will attempt to track VDDQ. Alternatively, VDDQ can be brought high after AVIN is asserted, and the device can be turned on and off by toggling the ENABLE pin. In this case, the output will ramp up as determined by the soft-start capacitor, and it will turn off as described in “Enable Operation” section. Input Capacitors A 22µF 4V X5R MLCC capacitor is required at the VDDQ input for 2A applications. A 10µF may be used for under 1A applications. The input capacitor must be placed at the position closest to the VDDQ pins of the EV1320QI. Either 0603 or 0805 case size is acceptable. The capacitors should be Enpirion Confidential April 9, 2012 www.enpirion.com, Page 14 Rev: C EV1320QI connected between VDDQ pin and the PGND pin. Do not connect the capacitors to the AGND terminal. Do not use Y5V or equivalent dielectric capacitors. These capacitors lose substantial capacitance with bias, frequency, and temperature and are thus not appropriate for use in DCDC converter applications.

Parallel Operation The architecture of the EV1320QI lends itself to seamless parallel operation. Up to 4 devices can be paralleled to achieve a VTT current of up to 8A. Figure 7 shows an example circuit diagram for parallel operation of three EV1320QIs. The following guidelines must be followed for proper parallel operation. 1. The VDDQ inputs should be connected to a common VDDQ bus. 2. The VOUT connections should be connected to a common VTT bus. 3. Each EV1320QI device must have its own input and output capacitors connected close to the device as described in the input and output capacitor sections. The input and output capacitors should be connected to the local PGND pins on the respective EV1320QI devices. 4. The C1N-C1P capacitors should only be connected to their respective EV1320QI devices. They should not be connected to any common bus, VIN, VOUT, or any other signal or plane. 5. All AVIN connections should be tied to a common 3.3V supply rail. Each EV1320QI should have its own AVIN filter resistor and capacitor if required. 6. All ENABLE pins should be tied to a common enable signal. 7. All soft start pins should be tied together and a single soft start capacitor should be used. Each device should NOT have its own soft start capacitor. 8. All Analog ground (AGND) connections should be tied together. The single soft start capacitor should be connected to this common AGND. 9. All Power ground (PGND) connections should be tied together through a common PGND plane. However, each input and output capacitor compliment should be connected to the local PGND pins on each individual EV1320QI device. 10. The devices should be placed such that the impedance in each path to the load is equivalent to ensure current balance. CFLY 22µF 22µF + 10µF Output Capacitors A 22µF 4V X5R MLCC capacitor is required at the output for 2A applications. A 10µF may be used for under 1A applications. The output capacitor must be placed at the position closest to the VOUT pins of the EV1320QI. Either 0603 or 0805 case size is acceptable. The capacitors should be connected between VOUT pin and the PGND pin. Do not connect the capacitors to the AGND terminal. Do not use Y5V or equivalent dielectric capacitors. These capacitors lose substantial capacitance with bias, frequency, and temperature and are thus not appropriate for use in DCDC converter applications. This capacitor recommendation assumes that there is additional bulk and decoupling capacitance at VTT DIMM leads and the VTT islands. Ensure that there is at least 100µF of bulk capacitance per amp of VTT current. If there is not sufficient bulk capacitance, add additional bulk capacitance to the output of the EV1320QI. Refer to the “Layout Recommendation” section for guidance on placement and PCB routing. C1N and C1P Capacitors (CFLY) A 22µF 4V X5R MLCC and a 10µF 4V X5R MLCC capacitors must be connected between the C1N and C1P pins for 2A applications. A 22µF may be used for under 1A applications. The CFLY capacitor must be placed in the position closest to the C1N and C1P pins. The C1N and C1P pads should not be connected to any other plane or trace. Capacitor case size of 0805 or 0603 is acceptable. Do not use Y5V or equivalent dielectric capacitors. These capacitors lose substantial capacitance with bias, frequency, and temperature and are thus not appropriate for use in DCDC converter applications.

Enpirion 2012 all rights reserved, E&OE 06831 Enpirion Confidential April 9, 2012 www.enpirion.com, Page 16 Rev: C EV1320QI Thermal Considerations Thermal considerations are important physical limitations that cannot be avoided in the real world. Whenever there are power losses in a system, the heat that is generated by the power dissipation needs to be accounted for. The Enpirion EV1320QI VDDQ/VTT Converter is packaged in a 3x3x0.55mm 16-pin QFN package. The recommended maximum junction temperature for continuous operation is 125°C. Continuous operation above 125°C may reduce long-term reliability. The device has a thermal overload protection circuit designed to turn off the device at an approximate junction temperature value of 150°C. The EV1320QI is guaranteed to support the full 2A output current up to 85°C ambient temperature. The following example and calculations illustrate the thermal performance of the EV1320QI. PIN = POUT / η PIN ≈ 1.2W / 0.926 ≈ 1.2959W The power dissipation (PD) is the power loss in the system and can be calculated by subtracting the output power from the input power. PD = PIN – POUT ≈ 1.2959W – 1.2W ≈ 0.0959W With the power dissipation known, the temperature rise in the device may be estimated based on the theta JA value (θJA). The θJA parameter estimates how much the temperature will rise in the device for every watt of power dissipation. The EV1320QI has a θJA value of 50 ºC/W without airflow. Determine the change in temperature (∆T) based on PD and θJA. ∆T = PD x θJA Example: ∆T ≈ 0.0959W x 50°C/W = 4.795°C ≈ 4.8°C VDDQ = 1.2V IOUT = 2A The junction temperature (TJ) of the device is approximately the ambient temperature (TA) plus the change in temperature. We assume the initial ambient temperature to be 25°C. First calculate the output power. TJ = TA + ∆T POUT = VTT * IOUT = 0.6V x 2A = 1.2W TJ ≈ 25°C + 4.8°C ≈ 29.8°C Next, determine the input power based on the efficiency (η) shown in Figure 8. With 0.0959W dissipated into the device, the TJ will be 29.8°C. VTT = 0.6V The maximum operating junction temperature (TJMAX) of the device is 125°C, so the device can operate at a higher ambient temperature. The maximum ambient temperature (TAMAX) allowed can be calculated. Efficiency vs. Output Current 96 EFFICIENCY (%) 94 92 TAMAX = TJMAX – PD x θJA 90 ≈ 125°C – 4.8°C ≈ 120.2°C 92.6% 88 86 84 82 VTT = 0.6V CONDITIONS AVIN = 3.0V VDDQ = 2* VTT 80 0 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1 1.2 1.4 OUTPUT CURRENT (A) 1.6 1.8 Figure 8: Efficiency vs. Output Current For VDDQ = 1.2V, VTT = 0.6V at 2A, η ≈ 92.6% 2 The ambient temperature can actually rise by another 95.2°C, bringing it to 120.2°C before the device will reach TJMAX. This indicates that the EV1320QI can support the full 2A output current range up to approximately 120.2°C ambient temperature given the input and output voltage conditions. This allows the EV1320QI to guarantee full 2A output current capability at 85°C with room for margin. Note that the efficiency will be slightly lower at higher temperatures and these calculations are estimates. η = POUT / PIN = 92.6% = 0.926 Enpirion 2012 all rights reserved, E&OE 06831 Enpirion Confidential April 9, 2012 www.enpirion.com, Page 17 Rev: C EV1320QI Layout Recommendation Figure 9: Typical Top Side and Bottom Side Layout Recommendation (Top View) Figure 9 shows the critical components along with top and bottom traces of a recommended minimum footprint EV1320QI layout with ENABLE tied to VDDQ. Alternate enabling configurations, and the POK pin would have to be connected and routed according to the specific customer application. Please see the Gerber files at www.enpirion.com for exact dimensions and the internal layers. Recommendation 1: Input and output filter capacitors should be placed on the same side of the PCB, and as close to the EV1320QI package as possible. They should be connected to the device with very short and wide traces. Do not use thermal reliefs or spokes when connecting the capacitor pads to the respective nodes. The +V and GND traces between the capacitors and the EV1320QI should be as close to each other as possible so that the gap between the two nodes is minimized, even under the capacitors. Enpirion 2012 all rights reserved, E&OE 06831 Recommendation 2: The C1N-C1P capacitors should be placed as close to the C1N-C1P pins as possible. Use large copper planes to minimize resistance and inductance. The C1P and C1N traces between the capacitors and the EV1320QI should be as close to each other as possible so that the gap between the two nodes is minimized, even under the capacitors. Recommendation 3: The system ground plane should be the first layer immediately below the surface layer (layer 2). This ground plane should be continuous and un-interrupted below the converter and the input/output capacitors. Recommendation 4: The VDDQ and VOUT copper are paralleled on layers 3 and 4 in order to minimize overall series resistance. Please see Gerber files. Recommendation 5: AVIN is the power supply for the internal control circuits. It should be connected to the 3.3V bus at a quiet point. A 10µF bypass capacitor (shown on the backside in Figure 9) is needed on the AVIN node. If the AVIN supply is noisy, an optional 1Ω resistor is recommended in series with AVIN. See Figure 6. Recommendation 6: The AGND pin does not get connected to PGND on layer 1. It connects to PGND on layer 2 ground plane. This provides some noise isolation between AGND and the noisy PGND trace on layer 1. Recommendation 7: The soft-start capacitor CSS and the AVIN capacitor CAVIN are placed on the back side in Figure 9 so that the input PGND trace is not compromised. Recommendation 8: If POK needs to be used, place a via to the left of pin 4, and route the POK trace on layer 3 to the POK resistor. Place the POK resistor to AVIN such that any modifications to the traces and placements in this recommended layout are minimized. Recommendation 9: Follow all the layout recommendations as close as possible to optimize performance. Enpirion provides schematic and layout reviews for all customer designs.
