7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Sink and Source Regulator (VO Pin)
The TPS51200 is a sink and source tracking termination regulator specifically designed for low input voltage,
low-cost, and low external component count systems where space is a key application parameter. The device
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,
connect a remote sensing terminal, VOSNS, to the positive terminal of each output capacitor as a separate trace
from the high current path from VO.
7.3.2 Reference Input (REFIN Pin)
The output voltage, VO, is regulated to REFOUT. When REFIN is configured for standard DDR termination
applications, REFIN can be set by an external equivalent ratio voltage divider connected to the memory supply
bus (VDDQ). The TPS51200 device supports REFIN voltages from 0.5 V to 1.8 V, making it versatile and ideal
for many types of low-power LDO applications.

Feature Description (continued)
7.3.3 Reference Output (REFOUT Pin)
When it is configured for DDR termination applications, REFOUT generates the DDR VTT reference voltage for
the memory application. It is capable of supporting both a sourcing and sinking load of 10 mA. REFOUT
becomes active when REFIN voltage rises to 0.390 V and VIN is above the UVLO threshold. When REFOUT is
less than 0.375 V, it is disabled and subsequently discharges to GND through an internal 10-kΩ MOSFET.
REFOUT is independent of the EN pin state.
7.3.4 Soft-Start Sequencing
A current clamp implements the soft-start function of the VO pin. The current clamp allows the output capacitors
to be charged with low and constant current, providing a linear ramp-up of the output voltage. When VO is
outside of the powergood window, the current clamp level is one-half of the full overcurrent limit (OCL) level.
When VO rises or falls within the PGOOD window, the current clamp level switches to the full OCL level. The
soft-start function is completely symmetrical and the overcurrent limit works for both directions. The soft-start
function works not only from GND to the REFOUT voltage, but also from VLDOIN to the REFOUT voltage.
7.3.5 Enable Control (EN Pin)
When EN is driven high, the VO regulator begins normal operation. When the device drives EN low, VO
discharges to GND through an internal 18-Ω MOSFET. REFOUT remains on when the device drives EN low.
Ensure that the EN pin voltage remains lower than or equal to VVIN at all times.
7.3.6 Powergood Function (PGOOD Pin)
The TPS51200 device provides an open-drain PGOOD output that goes high when the VO output is within ±20%
of REFOUT. PGOOD de-asserts within 10 μs after the output exceeds the size of the powergood window. During
initial VO start-up, PGOOD asserts high 2 ms (typ) after the VO enters power good window. Because PGOOD is
an open-drain output, a pull-up resistor with a value between 1 kΩ and 100 kΩ, placed between PGOOD and a
stable active supply voltage rail is required.
7.3.7
Current Protection (VO Pin)
The LDO has a constant overcurrent limit (OCL). The OCL level reduces by one-half when the output voltage is
not within the powergood window. This reduction is a non-latch protection.
7.3.8 UVLO Protection (VIN Pin)
For VIN undervoltage lockout (UVLO) protection, the TPS51200 monitors VIN voltage. When the VIN voltage is
lower than the UVLO threshold voltage, both the VO and REFOUT regulators are powered off. This shutdown is
a non-latch protection.
7.3.9 Thermal Shutdown
The TPS51200 monitors junction temperature. If the device junction temperature exceeds the threshold value,
(typically 150°C), the VO and REFOUT regulators both shut off, discharged by the internal discharge MOSFETs.
This shutdown is a non-latch protection.
7.3.10 Tracking Start-up and Shutdown
The TPS51200 also supports tracking start-up and shutdown when the EN pin is tied directly to the system bus
and not used to turn on or turn off the device. During tracking start-up, VO follows REFOUT once REFIN voltage
is greater than 0.39 V. REFIN follows the rise of VDDQ rail through a voltage divider. The typical soft-start time
(tSS) for the VDDQ rail is approximately 3 ms, however it may vary depending on the system configuration. The
soft-start time of the VO output no longer depends on the OCL setting, but it is a function of the soft-start time of
the VDDQ rail. PGOOD is asserted 2 ms after VVO is within ±20% of REFOUT. During tracking shutdown, the VO
pin voltage falls following REFOUT until REFOUT reaches 0.37 V. When REFOUT falls below 0.37 V, the
internal discharge MOSFETs turn on and quickly discharge both REFOUT and VO to GND. PGOOD is
deasserted when VO is beyond the ±20% range of REFOUT. Figure 20 shows the typical timing diagram for an
application that uses tracking start-up and shutdown.

Feature Description (continued)
Because VTT accuracy has a direct impact on the memory signal integrity, it is imperative to understand the
tolerance requirement on VTT. Equation 1 applies to both DC and AC conditions and is based on JEDEC VTT
specifications for DDR and DDR2 (JEDEC standard: DDR JESD8-9B May 2002; DDR2 JESD8-15A Sept 2003).
VVTTREF – 40 mV < VVTT < VVTTREF + 40 mV
(1)
The specification itself indicates that VTT must keep track of VTTREF for proper signal conditioning.
The TPS51200 ensures the regulator output voltage to be as shown in Equation 2, which applies to both DC and
AC conditions.
VVTTREF –25 mV < VVTT < VVTTREF + 25 mV
where
•
–2 A < IVTT < 2 A
(2)
The regulator output voltage is measured at the regulator side, not the load side. The tolerance is applicable to
DDR, DDR2, DDR3, DDR3L, Low Power DDR3, and DDR4 applications (see Table 1 for detailed information).
To meet the stability requirement, a minimum output capacitance of 20 μF is needed. Considering the actual
tolerance on the MLCC capacitors, three 10-μF ceramic capacitors sufficiently meet the VTT accuracy
requirement.

The TPS51200 uses transconductance (gM) to drive the LDO. The transconductance and output current of the
device determine the voltage droop between the reference input and the output regulator. The typical
transconductance level is 250 S at 2 A and changes with respect to the load in order to conserve the quiescent
current (that is, the transconductance is very low at no load condition). The (gM) LDO regulator is a single pole
system. Only the output capacitance determines the unity gain bandwidth for the voltage loop, as a result of the
bandwidth nature of the transconductance (see Equation 3).
gM
ƒUGBW =
2 ´ p ´ COUT
where
•
•
•
ƒUGBW is the unity gain bandwidth
gM is transconductance
COUT is the output capacitance
(3)
Consider these two limitations to this type of regulator that come from the output bulk capacitor requirement. In
order to maintain stability, the zero location contributed by the ESR of the output capacitors must be greater than
the –3-dB point of the current loop. This constraint means that higher ESR capacitors should not be used in the
design. In addition, the impedance characteristics of the ceramic capacitor should be well understood in order to
prevent the gain peaking effect around the transconductance (gM) –3-dB point because of the large ESL, the
output capacitor and parasitic inductance of the VO pin voltage trace.

7.3.12 REFOUT (VREF) Consideration for DDR2 Applications
During TPS51200 tracking start-up, the REFIN voltage follows the rise of the VDDQ rail through a voltage
divider, and REFOUT (VREF) follows REFIN once the REFIN voltage is greater than 0.39 V. When the REFIN
voltage is lower than 0.39 V, VREF is 0 V.
The JEDEC DDR2 SDRAM Standard (JESD79-2E) states that VREF must track VDDQ/2 within ±0.3 V accuracy
during the start-up period. To allow the TPS51200
device to meet the JEDEC DDR2 specification, a resistor divider can be used to provide the VREF signal to the
DIMM. The resistor divider ratio is 0.5 to ensure that the VREF voltage equals VDDQ/2.

When selecting the resistor value, consider the impact of the leakage current from the DIMM VREF pin on the
reference voltage. Use Equation 4 to calculate resistor values.

2 × ¿VREF
IREF
where
•
•
•
RREF is the resistor value
∆VREF is the VREF DC variation requirement
IREF is the maximum total VREF leakage current from DIMMs
(4)
Consider the MT47H64M16 DDR2 SDRAM component from Micron as an example. The MT47H64M16
datasheet shows the maximum VREF leakage current of each DIMM is ±2 µA, and VREF(DC) variation must be
within ±1% of VDDQ. In this DDR2 application, the VDDQ voltage is 1.8 V. Assuming one TPS51200 device
needs to power 4 DIMMs, the maximum total VREF leakage current is ±8 µA. Based on the calculations, the
resistor value should be lower than 4.5 kΩ. To ensure sufficient margin, 100 Ω is the suggested resistor value.
With two 100-Ω resistors, the maximum VREF variation is 0.4 mV, and the power loss on each resistor is 8.1 mW.

7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Low Input Voltage Applications
TPS51200 can be used in an application system that offers either a 2.5-V rail or a 3.3-V rail. If only a 5-V rail is
available, consider using the TPS51100 device as an alternative. The TPS51200 device has a minimum input
voltage requirement of 2.375 V. If a 2.5-V rail is used, ensure that the absolute minimum voltage (both DC and
transient) at the device pin is be 2.375 V or greater. The voltage tolerance for a 2.5-V rail input is between –5%
and 5% accuracy, or better.
7.4.2 S3 and Pseudo-S5 Support
The TPS51200 provides S3 support by an EN function. The EN pin could be connected to an SLP_S3 signal in
the end application. Both REFOUT and VO are on when EN = high (S0 state). REFOUT is maintained while VO
is turned off and discharged via an internal discharge MOSFET when EN = low (S3 state). When EN = low and
the REFIN voltage is less than 0.390 V, TPS51200 enters pseudo-S5 state. Both VO and REFOUT outputs are
turned off and discharged to GND through internal MOSFETs when pseudo-S5 support is engaged (S4 or S5
state). Figure 19 shows a typical start-up and shutdown timing diagram for an application that uses S3 and
pseudo-S5 support.

• VIN = 3.3 V
• VDDDQ = 1.5 V
• VVLDOIN = VVDDQ = 1.5 V
• VVTT = 0.75 V
8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
8.2.2.1 Input Voltage Capacitor
Add a ceramic capacitor, with a value between 1.0-μF and 4.7-μF, placed close to the VIN pin, to stabilize the
bias supply (2.5-V rail or 3.3-V rail) from any parasitic impedance from the supply.
8.2.2.2 VLDO Input Capacitor
Depending on the trace impedance between the VLDOIN bulk power supply to the device, a transient increase of
source current is supplied mostly by the charge from the VLDOIN input capacitor. Use a 10-μF (or greater)
ceramic capacitor to supply this transient charge. Provide more input capacitance as more output capacitance is
used at the VO pin. In general, use one-half of the COUT value for input.
8.2.2.3 Output Capacitor
For stable operation, the total capacitance of the VO output pin must be greater than 20 μF. Attach three, 10-μF
ceramic capacitors in parallel to minimize the effect of equivalent series resistance (ESR) and equivalent series
inductance (ESL). If the ESR is greater than 2 mΩ, insert an RC filter between the output and the VOSNS input
to achieve loop stability. The RC filter time constant should be almost the same as or slightly lower than the time
constant of the output capacitor and its ESR.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
This device is designed to operate from an input bias voltage from 2.375 V to 3.5 V, with LDO input from 1.1 V to
3.5 V. Refer to Figure 19 and Figure 20 for recommended power-up sequence. Maintain a EN voltage equal or
lower than VVIN at all times. VLDOIN can ramp up earlier than VIN if the sequence in Figure 19 and Figure 20
cannot be used. The input supplies should be well regulated. VLDOIN decoupling capacitance
of 2 × 10 µF is recommended, and VIN decoupling capacitance of 1 × 4.7 µF is recommended.
10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
Consider the following points before starting the TPS51200 device layout design.
• Place the input capacitors as close to VDLOIN pin as possible with short and wide connection.
• Place the output capacitor as close to VO pin as possible with short and wide connection. Place a ceramic
capacitor with a value of at least 10-µF as close to VO pin if the rest of output capacitors need to be placed
on the load side.
• Connect the VOSNS pin to the positive node of output capacitors as a separate trace. In DDR VTT
application, connect the VO sense trace to DIMM side to ensure the VTT voltage at DIMM side is well
regulated.
• Consider adding low-pass filter at VOSNS if the VO sense trace is very long.
• Connect the GND pin and PGND pin to the thermal pad directly.
• TPS51200 uses its thermal pad to dissipate heat. In order to effectively remove heat fromTPS51200 package,
place numerous ground vias on the thermal pad. Use large ground copper plane, especially the copper plane
on surface layer, to pour over those vias on thermal pad.
• Consult the TPS51200EVM User's Guide (SLUU323) for detailed layout recommendations.

10.3 Thermal Design Considerations
Because the TPS51200 is a linear regulator, the VO current flows in both source and sink directions, thereby
dissipating power from the device. When the device is sourcing current, the voltage difference shown in
Equation 5 calculates the power dissipation.
PD _ SRC = (VVLDOIN - VVO ) ´ IO _ SRC
(5)
In this case, if the VLDOIN pin is connected to an alternative power supply lower than the VDDQ voltage, overall
power loss can be reduced. During the sink phase, the device applies the VO voltage across the internal LDO
regulator. Equation 6 calculates he power dissipation, PD_SNK can be calculated by .
PD _ SNK = VVO ´ ISNK
(6)
Because the device does not sink and source current at the same time and the I/O current may vary rapidly with
time, the actual power dissipation should be the time average of the above dissipations over the thermal
relaxation duration of the system. The current used for the internal current control circuitry from the VIN supply
and the VLDOIN supply are other sources of power consumption. This power can be estimated as 5 mW or less
during normal operating conditions and must be effectively dissipated from the package.

Thermal Design Considerations (continued)
Maximum power dissipation allowed by the package is calculated by Equation 7.
TJ(max) - TA(max)
PPKG =
qJA
where
•
•
•
TJ(max) is 125°C
TA(max) is the maximum ambient temperature in the system
θJA is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient
(7)
NOTE
Because Equation 7 demonstrates the effects of heat spreading in the ground plane, use it
as a guideline only. Do not use Equation 7 to estimate actual thermal performance in real
application environments.
In an application where the device is mounted on PCB, TI strongly recommends using ψJT and ψJB, as explained
in the section pertaining to estimating junction temperature in the Semiconductor and IC Package Thermal
Metrics application report, SPRA953. Using the thermal metrics ψJT and ψJB, as shown in the Thermal
Information table, estimate the junction temperature with corresponding formulas shown in Equation 8. The older
θJC top parameter specification is listed as well for the convenience of backward compatibility.
TJ = TT + Y JT ´ PD
(8)
TJ = TB + Y JB ´ PD
where
•
•
•
PD is the power dissipation shown in Equation 5 and Equation 6
TT is the temperature at the center-top of the IC package
TB is the PCB temperature measured 1-mm away from the thermal pad package on the PCB surface (see
Figure 36).
(9)
NOTE
Both TT and TB can be measured on actual application boards using a thermo-gun (an
infrared thermometer). For more information about measuring TT and TB, see the
application report Using New Thermal Metrics (SBVA025).
