NE57810
DESCRIPTION
The NE57810 is designed to provide power for termination of a Double Data Rate (DDR) SDRAM memory bus. It significantly reduces parts count, board space, and overall system cost compared to previous solutions. The NE57810 DDR termination regulator maintains an output voltage (DDR reference bus voltage) that is one-half that of the RAM supply voltage. It is capable of providing up to 3.5 A for sustained periods. Overcurrent limiting protects the NE57810 from inrush currents at start-up, and overtemperature shutdown protects the device in extreme temperature situations. The SPAK-5 (SOT756) package is thermally robust for flexibility of thermal design. Because the NE57810 is a linear regulator, no external inductors or switching FETs are necessary. Fast response to load changes reduces the need for output capacitors.

TECHNICAL DISCUSSION
The NE57810 supplies power to the DDR memory bus termination resistors at nominally 1/2 the voltage supplied to the memory ICs or DIMMs. DDR memory output drivers source and sink current into and out of their outputs. A typical DDR memory system is seen in Figure 1 (page 2). Each input/output pin on the bus has a series 20 resistor connected to it. The bus is terminated to the DDR terminator though a 27 to 50 resistance. The memory system will then require current from the VTT terminator bus only when the instantaneous value of the aggregate bus state are not equal amounts of 1s and 0s. When memory bus speeds are in the 200-300 MHz region, the period of any single bus state is extremely small. This permits the DDR bus termination regulator to be a linear `power Op Amp' that can source and sink current instantly to the DDR bus from the VDD supply voltage. Figure 8 models the VTT loading condition of each bus line equivalent circuit during operation and with terminating resistors. This yields the worst case current loading equation:
I O(max) +
Where:
N DDR V DD 2(R T ) R S)
NDDR is the total number of terminated control, address and data lines within the DDR memory system. (typically 192) RT is the value of the terminating resistors. RS is the value of the series resistors from the active output driver. Hence the worst-case current loading condition, where there are either all 1s or all 0s for an instant, and RT is 27 and RS is 20 , produces an instantaneous output current of either + or - 3.5 Amperes.

THERMAL DESIGN
Designing the proper thermal system for the NE57810 is important to its reliable operation. The NE57810 will be operating at an average power level less than the maximum rating of the part. In a typical DDR terminator system the average power dissipation is between 0.8 and 1.5 watts. The termination power will vary as the average number of `1s' and `0s' changes during normal operation of the DDR memory. The load current will assume a new value for each bus cycle at a 266 MHz rate, and will increase and decrease as the statistical average of bus states change. The terminator heatsink must be designed to accommodate the average power as a steady state condition and be able to withstand momentary periods of increased dissipation, typically 2 - 5 seconds duration. For the typical NE57810 application, the power dissipated by the terminator can be calculated: dimension as given on the X axis. If you use a double-sided PCB with some plated-through holes to help transfer heat to the bottom side, the thermal resistance only improves by about 3 - 4 C/W. After the power is estimated, the minimum PCB area can be determined by calculating the worst case thermal resistance and referring to Figure 10 to determine the PCB area. This is done by:
R qJA(min) +
Where:
T j * T amb PD
Eqn. (2)
Tj is the maximum desired junction temperature Tamb is the highest expected local ambient temperature PD is the estimated average power The junction temperature should be kept well away from the over-temperature cutoff threshold temperature (+150 C) in normal operation. Using the above power dissipation, the highest ambient temperature and a junction temperature of +125 C, calculate the maximum thermal resistance (1.5 watts is used only as an example).
O O R th(j-a)(min) + 125 C * 70 C + 36.6 O C W 1.5W
P D + I DD(VTT)Watts
Eqn. (1)
The thermal resistance of a surface mount package is given as Rth(j-a), the thermal resistance from the junction to air. JESD51-7 specifies a 4-layer multiplayer PCB (2oz/1oz/1oz/2oz copper) that is 4 inches on each side. This is probably the best (or lowest) thermal resistance you will see in any application. Most applications cannot afford the PCB area to create this situation, but the thermal performance of a multilayer PCB will still provide a significant heatsinking effect. The actual thermal resistance will be higher than the 16.5 C/W given for the 4-layer JEDEC PCB. Figure 10 shows the thermal resistance you can expect for heatsinking PCB areas less than the JEDEC specification. The graph is for a 2 oz. single-sided PCB with a square area of the side
Eqn. (3)
Looking at Figure 10, you see that this power dissipation requires a minimum PCB island area of 225 mm2 (15 mm on each side). This is the smallest area you could use at this power dissipation. Of course, increasing this area will allow the NE57810 to operate at cooler temperatures, thus enhancing its long-term reliability.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
The NE57810 can be used in a variety of DDR memory configurations. Its small footprint, fast transient response and lessened need for large bulk output capacitance, makes it highly adaptable. Some of these methods of use are given below. address, data, and control buses, and a low frequency component caused by the time-average skew of all of the bus states away from an equal number of 1s and 0s. Electrolytic and tantalum capacitor appear inductive at the high frequencies. Therefore two types of capacitors are needed for the output filtering. A very good, low ESR electrolyic capacitor of no less than 470 F should be placed next to the terminator, which should be placed as close as possible to the memory array. One half of the high frequency filter capacitors should be to VDD and the other half to VSS so that the output will better track any variations in the VDD voltage. For different memory sizes, the values of the recommended output filter capacitances will change. For a 256 MByte memory space, for example, approximately 100 F of ceramic surface mount chip capacitors should be evenly distributed across the physical memory layout. Depending upon the PCB noise environment, this could be 10 pieces of 10 F, 20 pieces of 5 F, and so on. It might be possible to reduce the total capacitance, provided the performance remains stable. Examine the behavior of the VTT bus carefully when the system is operating and verify that deviations in the bus voltage do not exceed the DDR specification (40 mV).
Normal operating mode (VTT = VDDR/2)
The most common implementation of a DDR terminator regulator using the NE57810 is shown in Figure 12. The NE57810 has an internal resistor divider between the VDD (pin 2) and VSS (pin 3) pins which maintains the output voltage, VTT, at VDD/2. Typically, the VDD voltage is the DDR RAM supply voltage, which can range from 1.8 V to 2.5 V. The center node of this resistor divider is brought out to ExtRefIn (pin 4). This node acts as the reference for the VTT output voltage and the buffered RefOut signal (pin 5). If the ExtRefIn pin is not connected to other voltage sources, then two small bypass capacitors (0.01 F) should be placed between the ExtRefIn pin and the GND and VDD pins to improve the terminator's noise performance. The two ExtRefIn bypass capacitors connected as shown in Figure 12 allow the terminator to better track any variations in the memory VDD voltage. This method can be seen in Figure 12. There are two components to the memory signal load: a high frequency component caused by the 266 MHz plus speed of the

Externally programmed VTT output voltage
The NE57810 allows use of an external reference voltage to set its VTT output voltage. This pin (ExtRefIn pin 4) is used for applications where the VTT voltage is not VDD divided by 2. This allows VTT voltage and current to be drawn from a power supply bus that is not the DDR RAM supply voltage. This may have some advantages when you are attempting to better match the power being drawn from the outputs emerging from main system power supply. This can be seen in Figure 13. The internal reference voltage is set by two matched 100 k resistors connected in a resistor divider between the VDD and VSS pins of the NE57810. Setting the value of Vref or VTT can be done in two ways: by placing an external resistor divider whose resistor values are less than 5 k each or by connecting the output of an operational amplifier that is outputting the reference voltage. If the external resistor divider is used, place a 0.01 F ceramic bypass capacitor between the ExtRefIn pin (pin 4) and the VSS pin (pin 3). The accuracy of the new reference voltage when the external resistor divider is used will be about 0.5 percent PLUS the sum of the tolerances of the resistors used in the divider. Please note that when the NE57810 is operating in this fashion, the power dissipation of the part may increase.

Cascading the NE57810 for complex memory systems
For high-performance computer systems, sometimes memory banks are driven 180 degrees out of phase with one another such that the apparent access time is halved (even and odd memory addresses). To do this, it is recommended that two NE57810s are used, one to terminate each memory bank. Cascading NE57810 terminators offers two advantages, it improves the system noise performance by bringing the memory SIMMs closer to the terminator, and distributes any heat generated by the terminator system. By using the RefOut pin from one NE57810 to the ExtRefIn pin for the other NE57810(s) used in the system, one can always guarantee that the VTT voltages are identical. Because of the very tight output voltage regulation of the NE57810, the VTT outputs should never be wired together. This is because the terminators would `fight' one another if their output were different by only a few millivolts. This method can be used in either the normal operating mode and the externally programmed operating mode. This method of use can be seen in Figure 14.
