DESCRIPTION
The NB675 provides a complete power supply
for DDR3, DDR3L and LPDDR2 memory with
the highest power density. It integrates a high
frequency synchronous rectified step-down
switch mode converter (VDDQ) with an 1.5A
sink/source LDO (VTT) and buffered low noise
reference (VTTREF).
The fully integrated Buck converter is able to
deliver 10A continuous output current and 12A
peak output current over a wide input supply
range with excellent load and line regulation.
The Buck converter employs the Constant-On-
Time (COT) control scheme, which provides
fast transient response and eases loop
stabilization.
The VTT LDO provides 1.5A sink/source
current capability and requires only 10uF
ceramic capacitance.
The VTTREF tracks VDDQ/2 with an excellent
1% accuracy.
Under voltage lockout is internally set as 4.5V.
An open drain power good signal indicates
VDDQ is within its nominal voltage range.
Full protection features include OCP, OVP, and
thermal shut down.
This part requires minimum number of external
components and is available in QFN21
(3mmx4mm) package.
APPLICATIONS

Notes:
1) Exceeding these ratings may damage the device.
2) Refer to Page 13 of Configuring the EN Control.
3) The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the
maximum junction temperature T

(MAX), the junction-to-
ambient thermal resistance
θ

, and the ambient temperature
T

. The maximum allowable continuous power dissipation at
any ambient temperature is calculated by P

. Exceeding the maximum allowable power dissipation
will cause excessive die temperature, and the regulator will go
into thermal shutdown. Internal thermal shutdown circuitry
protects the device from permanent damage.

NB675 –24V, HIGH CURRENT SYNCHRONOUS BUCK CONVERTER
PIN FUNCTIONS
PIN #
1
Description
Bootstrap. A capacitor connected between SW and BST pins is required to form a
BST
floating supply across the high-side switch driver.
Switch Output. Connect this pin to the inductor and bootstrap capacitor. This pin is
driven up to the VIN voltage by the high-side switch during the on-time of the PWM
duty cycle. The inductor current drives the SW pin negative during the off-time. The on-
SW
resistance of the low-side switch and the internal diode fixes the negative voltage. Use
wide and short PCB traces to make the connection. Try to minimize the area of the SW
pattern.
Buffered VTT reference output. Decouple with a minimum 0.22μF ceramic capacitor as
VTTREF close to the pin as possible. X7R or X5R grade dielectric ceramic capacitors are
recommended for their stable temperature characteristics.
Buck regulator output voltage sense. Connect this pin to the output capacitor of the
VDDQSEN
regulator directly
VINLDO
VTT LDO regulator input. Connect VINLDO to VDDQ in typical application.
VTT LDO output. Decouple with a minimum 10uF ceramic capacitor as close to the pin
VTT
as possible. X7R or X5R grade dielectric ceramic capacitors are recommended for their
stable temperature characteristics.
Analog ground. The internal reference is referred to AGND. Connect the GND of the
AGND
FB divider resistor to AGND for better load regulation.
VTTSEN VTT output sense. Connect this pin to the output capacitor of the VTT regulator directly
PGND
Power Ground. Use wide PCB traces and multiple vias to make the connection.
Supply Voltage. The VIN pin supplies power for internal MOSFET and regulator. The
NB675 operate from a +5V to +22V input rail. An input capacitor is needed to decouple
the input rail. Use wide PCB traces and multiple vias to make the connection.
Power good output, the output of this pin is an open drain signal and is high if the
output voltage is higher than 95% of the nominal voltage. There is a delay from FB
≥
95% to PG goes high.
Feedback. An external resistor divider from the output to GND, tapped to the FB pin,
sets the output voltage. Place the resistor divider as close to FB pin as possible. Avoid
vias on the FB traces. It is recommend to set the current through FB resistors around
10uA.
Enable. EN1 and EN2 are digital inputs, which are used to enable or disable the
internal regulators. Once EN1=EN2=1, the VDDQ regulator, VTT LDO and VTTREF
output will be turned on; when EN1=0 and EN2=1, the VDDQ regulator and VTTREF
are active while VTT LDO is off; all the regulators will be turned off when EN1=EN2=0.
Internal 5V LDO output. The driver and control circuits are powered from this voltage.
Decouple with a minimum 1µF ceramic capacitor as close to the pin as possible. X7R
or X5R grade dielectric ceramic capacitors are recommended for their stable
temperature characteristics.
Enable. EN1 and EN2 are digital inputs, which are used to enable or disable the
internal regulators. Once EN1=EN2=1, the VDDQ regulator, VTT LDO and VTTREF
output will be turned on; when EN1=0 and EN2=1, the VDDQ regulator and VTTREF
are active while VTT LDO is off; all the regulators will be turned off when EN1=EN2=0.
