Description
The FAN5078D3 DDR memory regulator combines a high-
efficiency Pulse-Width Modulated (PWM) controller to
generate the memory supply voltage, VDDQ, and a linear
regulator to generate termination voltage (VTT).
FAN5078D3 can be configured to provide VDDQ and VTT
power requirements for DDR3 version. For power
requirements of DDR1 and DDR2 memory systems, refer to
FAN5078.
Synchronous rectification provides high efficiency over a
wide range of load currents. Efficiency is further enhanced
by using the low-side MOSFET’s RDS(ON) to sense current.
The VDDQ PWM regulator is a sampled, current-mode
control with external compensation to achieve fast load-
transient response and provide system design optimization.
The VTT regulator derives its reference and takes its
power from the VDDQ PWM regulator output. The VTT
termination regulator is capable of sourcing or sinking up to
1.5A peak currents.
In S5 M1 mode, the VDDQ switcher, VTT regulator, and the
3.3V regulators remain on. S3 mode keeps these regulators
on and turns on an external P-channel to provide 5V USB.
A single soft-start capacitor enables controlled slew rates for
both VDDQ and 3.3V-ALW outputs.
PGOOD becomes true in S0 only after all regulators have
achieved stable outputs.
In S5 (EN = 0), the 3.3V internal LDO stays on while the
other regulators are powered down.
