7 Detailed Description

7.1 Overview

The TPS51100 is a sink / source double date rate (DDR) termination regulator with VTTREF buffered reference output.

7.3 Feature Description

7.3.1 VTT Sink/Source Regulator

The TPS51100 is a 3-A sink/source tracking termination regulator designed specially for low-cost, low-external-components systems where space is at premium, such as notebook PC applications. The TPS51100 integrates a high-performance, low-dropout linear regulator that is capable of sourcing and sinking current up to 3 A. This VTT linear regulator employs an ultimate fast-response feedback loop so that small ceramic capacitors are enough to keep tracking to the VTTREF within ±40 mV under all conditions, including fast load transient. To achieve tight regulation with minimum effect of trace resistance, a remote sensing terminal, VTTSNS, should be connected to the positive node of the VTT output capacitor(s) as a separate trace from the high-current line from VTT.

7.3.2 VTTREF Regulator

The VTTREF block consists of an on-chip 1/2 divider, low-pass filter (LPF), and buffer. This regulator can source current up to 10  mA. Bypass VTTREF to GND using a 0.1-μF ceramic capacitor to ensure stable operation.

7.3.3 Soft-Start

The soft-start function of the VTT is achieved via a current clamp, allowing the output capacitors to be charged with low and constant current that gives linear ramp-up of the output voltage. The current-limit threshold is changed in two stages using an internal powergood signal. When VTT is outside the powergood threshold, the current limit level is 2.2 A. When VTT rises above (VTTREF – 5%) or falls below (VTTREF + 5%), the current limit level switches to 3.8 A. The thresholds are typically VTTREF ±5% (from outside regulation to inside) and ±10% (when it falls outside). The soft-start function is completely symmetrical, and it works not only from GND to VTTREF voltage, but also from VDDQ to VTTREF voltage. Note that the VTT output is in a high-impedance state during the S3 state (S3 = low, S5 = high), and its voltage can be up to VDDQ voltage, depending on the external condition. Note that VTT does not start under a full-load condition.

7.3.4 VTT Current Protection

The LDO has a constant overcurrent limit (OCL) at 3.8 A. This trip point is reduced to 2.2 A before the output voltage comes within ±5% of the target voltage or goes outside of ±10% of the target voltage.

7.3.5 VIN UVLO Protection

For VIN undervoltage lockout (UVLO) protection, the TPS51100 monitors VIN voltage. When the VIN voltage is lower than UVLO threshold voltage, the VTT regulator is shut off. This is a non-latch protection.

7.3.6 Thermal Shutdown

TPS51100 monitors its temperature. If the temperature exceeds the threshold value, typically 160°C, the VTT and VTTREF regulators are shut off. This is also a non-latch protection.

7.4 Device Functional Modes

7.4.1 S5 Control and Soft-Off

The S3 and S5 terminals should be connected to SLP_S3 and SLP_S5 signals, respectively. Both VTTREF and VTT are turned on at the S0 state (S3 = high, S5 = high). VTTREF is kept alive while VTT is turned off and left high-impedance in the S3 state (S3 = low, S5 = high). Both VTT and VTTREF outputs are turned off and discharged to ground through internal MOSFETs during S4/S5 state (both S3 and S5 are low).

STATE S3 S5 VTTREF VTT
S0 H H 1 1
S3(1) L H 1 0 (Hi-Z)
S4/S5(1) L L 0 (discharge) 0 (discharge)
(1) In case S3 is forced to H and S5 to L, VTTREF is discharged and VTT is at Hi-Z state. This condition is not recommended.
