GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The CM8500A is a switching regulator designed to provide a
desired output voltage or termination voltage for various
applications by converting voltage supplies ranging from 2.0V
to 5.0V. The CM8500A can be implemented to produce
regulated output voltages in two different modes. In the
default mode, when the VIN/2 pin is open, the output voltage
is 50% of the VCCQ. The CM8500A can also be used to
produce various user-defined voltages by forcing a voltage on
the VIN/2 pin. In this case, the output voltage follows the
VIN/2 pin input voltage. The switching regulator is capable of
sourcing or sinking up to 3A of current while regulating an
output V
TT
voltage to within 3% or less.
The CM8500A, used in conjunction with series termination
resistors, provides an excellent voltage source for active
termination schemes of high speed transmission lines as
those seen in high speed memory buses and distributed
backplane designs.
The voltage output of the regulator can be used as a
termination voltage for other bus interface standards such as
SSTL, CMOS, Rambus ™ ,GTL+, VME, LV-CMOS, LV-TTL,
and PECL.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The CM8500A is a switching regulator that is capable of
sinking and sourcing 3A of current without an external heat
sink. CM8500A uses a standard surface mount PTSSOP
and PSOP package with bottom metal exposed and the heat
can be piped through the bottom of the device and onto the
PCB.
Low Noise Current Limit:
CM3708A’s current limit is a low noise current limit. It increase
the system loop noise immunity while it is doing the current limit
protection for the system. The current limit is around 6A for the
normal 3A operation.
INPUTS
The CM8500A integrates power MOSFETs that are capable
of source and sink 3A of current while maintaining excellent
voltage regulation. The output voltage can be regulated within
3% or less by using the external feedback. Separate voltage
supply inputs have been added to fit applications with various
power supplies for the databus and power buses.
The input voltage pins (VCCQ or VIN/2) determine the output
voltages (VL1 or VL2). In the default mode, when the VIN/2 pin
is open, the output voltage is 50% of the VCCQ input.
If a specific voltage is forced at the VIN/2 pin, the output voltage
follows the voltage at the VIN/2 pin. VCCQ suggested
connecting to VCCQ of memory module for better tracking with
memory VCCQ.
VREF
The reference voltage could be ranged from 0V to VIN.
OTHER SUPPLY VOLTAGES
Several inputs are provided for the supply voltages: PVDD1,
PVDD2, VCC1, and VCC2.
OUPUTS
The output voltage pins (VL1, VL2) are tied to the databus,
address, or clock lines via an external inductor. Output voltage The PVDD1 and PVDD2 provide the power supply to the power
is determined by the VCCQ or VIN/2 inputs so it can be from
0V to VIN..
MOSFETs. VCC1 and VCC2 provide the voltage supply to the
logic section and internal error amplifiers.
Internal Power Switches:
CM3708A has been integrated 2 Power MOSFETs whose
RDS
(ON)
is around 100m Ohm each.
FEEDBACK
The VFB pin is an input that can be used for closed loop
compensation. This input is derived from the voltage output.
AGSEN pin is a contact node of internal resistor divider for
remote sense.
