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. z z z z z z z z z z RT9199 Package Type S : SOP-8 SP : SOP-8 (Exposed Pad-Option 2) Operating Temperature Range P : Pb Free with Commercial Standard G : Green (Halogen Free with Commercial Standard) Note : Richtek Pb-free and Green products are : RoHS compliant and compatible with the current require- Current Limiting Protection On-Chip Thermal Protection RoHS Compliant and 100% Lead (Pb)-Free Applications z z Ordering Information Ideal for DDR-II VTT Applications Sink and Source 2A Peak Current Integrated Power MOSFETs Generate Termination Voltage for DDR Memory Interfaces High Accuracy Output Voltage at Full-Load Output Adjustment by Two External Resistors Low External Component Count Shutdown for Suspend to RAM (STR) Functionality with High-Impedance Output z z z Desktop PCs, Notebooks, and Workstations Graphics Card Memory Termination Set Top Boxes, Digital TVs, Printers Embedded Systems Active Termination Buses DDR/II Memory Systems Pin Configurations (TOP VIEW) 8 VIN VCNTL GND 2 7 VCNTL REFEN 3 6 VOUT 4 5 VCNTL VCNTL ments of IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020.

REFEN Pin Shutdown Threshold, VIH & VIL DS9199-07 September 2007 www.richtek.com 3 RT9199 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 1F 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 1000F Al electrolytic capacitor with 10F ceramic capacitors are recommended to reduce the effects of current transients on VOUT.

There are two reasons doing this design; one is for output voltage soft-start while another is for noise immunity.

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 125C. 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 ) / JA Where T J(MAX) is the maximum operation junction temperature 125C, TA is the ambient temperature and the JA is the junction to ambient thermal resistance. The junction to ambient thermal resistance for SOP-8 package (Exposed Pad) is 86C/W, on standard JEDEC 51-7 (4 layers, 2S2P) thermal test board. The maximum power dissipation at TA = 25C can be calculated by following formula: PD(MAX) = (125C - 25C) / 86C/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 JA 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 JA and copper area on a standard JEDEC 51-7 (4 layers, 2S2P) thermal test board at TA = 25C. 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 JA (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: 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 Ambient Molding Compound Gold Line 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 2 Copper Area (mm ) Lead Frame Figure 10.

Thermal Resistance Equivalent Circuit www.richtek.com 10 DS9199-07 September 2007 RT9199 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), JA is 86C/W. Adding copper area of pad under the SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) (Figure 12.b) reduces the JA to 73C/W. Even further, increasing the copper area of pad to 70mm2 (Figure 12.d) reduces the JA to 65C/W.
