The NCP51401 is a source/sink Double Data Rate (DDR)
termination regulator specifically designed for low input voltage and
low−noise systems where space is a key consideration.
The NCP51401 maintains a fast transient response and only requires
a minimum output capacitance of 20
mF.
The NCP51401 supports a
remote sensing function and all power requirements for DDR V
TT
bus
termination. The NCP51401 can also be used in low−power chipsets
and graphics processor cores that require dynamically adjustable
output voltages.
The NCP51401 is available in the thermally−efficient DFN10
Exposed Pad package, and is rated both Green and Pb−free.

NCP51401
General
The NCP51401 is a sink/source tracking termination
regulator specifically designed for low input voltage and
low external component count systems where space is a key
application parameter. The NCP51401 integrates a
high−performance, low−dropout (LDO) linear regulator
that is capable of both sourcing and sinking current. The
LDO regulator employs a fast feedback loop so that small
ceramic capacitors can be used to support the fast load
transient response. To achieve tight regulation with
minimum effect of trace resistance, a remote sensing
terminal, V
TTS
, should be connected to the positive terminal
of the output capacitors as a separate trace from the high
current path from V
TT
.
V
RI
− Generation of Internal Voltage Reference
P
GOOD
de−asserts within 10
ms
after the output exceeds the
limits of the PowerGood window. During initial V
TT
startup, P
GOOD
asserts high 2 ms after the V
TT
enters power
good window. Because P
GOOD
is an open−drain output, a
100 kW, pull−up resistor between P
GOOD
and a stable active
supply voltage rail is required.
The LDO has a constant over−current limit (OCL). Note
that the OCL level reduces by one−half when the output
voltage is not within the power good window. This reduction
is non−latch protection. For V
CC
under−voltage lockout
(UVLO) protection, the NCP51401 monitors V
CC
voltage.
When the V
CC
voltage is lower than the UVLO threshold
voltage, both the V
TT
and V
RO
regulators are powered off.
This shutdown is also non−latch protection.
Thermal Shutdown with Hysteresis
The output voltage, V
TT
, is regulated to V
RO
. When V
RI
is configured for standard DDR termination applications,
V
RI
can be set by an external equivalent ratio voltage divider
connected to the memory supply bus (V
DDQ
). The
NCP51401 supports V
RI
voltage from 0.5 V to 1.8 V,
making it versatile and ideal for many types of low−power
LDO applications.
V
RO
− Reference Output
When it is configured for DDR termination applications,
V
RO
generates the DDR V
TT
reference voltage for the
memory application. It is capable of supporting both a
sourcing and sinking load of 10 mA. V
RO
becomes active
when V
RI
voltage rises to 435 mV and V
CC
is above the
UVLO threshold. When V
RO
is less than 360 mV, it is
disabled and subsequently discharges to GND through an
internal 10 kW MOSFET. V
RO
is independent of the EN pin
state.
EN − Enable Control
If the NCP51401 is to operate in elevated temperatures for
long durations, care should be taken to ensure that the
maximum operating junction temperature is not exceeded.
To guarantee safe operation, the NCP51401 provides
on−chip thermal shutdown protection. When the chip
junction temperature exceeds 150°C, the part will shutdown.
When the junction temperature falls back to 125°C, the
device resumes normal operation. If the junction
temperature exceeds the thermal shutdown threshold then
the V
TT
and V
RO
regulators are both shut off, discharged by
the internal discharge MOSFETs. The shutdown is a
non−latch protection.
Tracking Startup and Shutdown
When EN is driven high, the NCP51401 V
TT
regulator
begins normal operation. When EN is driven low, V
TT
is
discharges to GND through an internal 18−W MOSFET.
V
REF
remains on when EN is driven low.
P
GOOD
− PowerGood
The NCP51401 provides an open−drain P
GOOD
output
that goes high when the V
TT
output is within
±20%
of V
RO
.
The NCP51401 also supports tracking startup and
shutdown when EN is tied directly to the system bus and not
used to turn on or turn off the device. During tracking
startup, V
TT
follows V
RO
once V
RI
voltage is greater than
435 mV. V
RI
follows the rise of V
DDQ
memory supply rail
via a voltage divider. P
GOOD
is asserted 2 ms after V
TT
is
within
±20%
of V
RO
. During tracking shutdown, V
TT
falls
following V
RO
until V
RO
reaches 360 mV. Once V
RO
falls
below 360 mV, the internal discharge MOSFETs are turned
on and quickly discharge both V
RO
and V
TT
to GND.
P
GOOD
is de−asserted once V
TT
is beyond the
±20%
range
of V
RO
.
