Low-Voltage DDR Linear Regulator
MAX8794
General Description
Features
The MAX8794 DDR linear regulator sources and sinks up
to 3A peak (typ) using internal n-channel MOSFETs. This
linear regulator delivers an accurate 0.5V to 1.5V output
o Internal Power MOSFETs with Current Limit (3A typ)
o Fast Load-Transient Response
o External Reference Input with Reference
from a low-voltage power input (V = 1.1V to 3.6V). The
IN
MAX8794 uses a separate 3.3V bias supply to power the
control circuitry and drive the internal n-channel MOSFETs.
Output Buffer
o 1.1V to 3.6V Power Input
The MAX8794 provides current and thermal limits to pre-
vent damage to the linear regulator. Additionally, the
MAX8794 generates a power-good (PGOOD) signal to
indicate that the output is in regulation. During startup,
PGOOD remains low until the output is in regulation for 2ms
(typ). The internal soft-start limits the input surge current.
o
15mV (max) Load-Regulation Error
o Thermal-Fault Protection
o Shutdown Input
o Power-Good Window Comparator with 2ms (typ)
Delay
The MAX8794 powers the active-DDR termination bus
that requires a tracking input reference. The MAX8794
can also be used in low-power chipsets and graphics
processor cores that require dynamically adjustable
output voltages. The MAX8794 is available in a 10-pin,
3mm x 3mm, TDFN package.
o Small, Low-Profile, 10-Pin, 3mm x 3mm TDFN

3A peak (typ) from an input voltage of 1.1V to 3.6V. The
MAX8794 sinks up to 3A peak (typ) as required in a ter-

protection, ensuring that the source and sink MOSFETs
do not conduct at the same time, yet produces a fast

the output goes out of regulation by 150mV. The

Reference Input (REFIN)
The MAX8794 regulates OUTS to the voltage set at

resistive voltage-divider connected to the memory sup-
Thermal-Overload Protection
Thermal-overload protection prevents the linear regulator
from overheating. When the junction temperature
exceeds +165°C, the linear regulator and reference
buffer are disabled, allowing the device to cool. Normal
operation resumes once the junction temperature cools
by 15°C. Continuous short-circuit conditions result in a
pulsed output until the overload is removed. A continuous
thermal-overload condition results in a pulsed output. For
continuous operation, do not exceed the absolute maxi-
mum junction-temperature rating of +150°C.

The maximum output voltage of 1.5V is limited by the

Dynamic Output-Voltage Transitions
By changing the voltage at REFIN, the MAX8794 can
be used in applications that require dynamic output-
voltage changes between two set points (graphics
processors). Figure 4 shows a dynamically adjustable
resistive voltage-divider network at REFIN. Using an
external signal MOSFET, a resistor can be switched in
and out of the REFIN resistor-divider, changing the volt-
age at REFIN. The two output voltages are determined

Operating Region and Power Dissipation
The maximum power dissipation of the MAX8794
depends on the thermal resistance of the 10-pin TDFN
package and the circuit board, the temperature differ-
ence between the die and ambient air, and the rate of
airflow. The power dissipated in the device is:

Typically, the LDO is powered from the output of a

Capacitor ESR between 2mΩ and 50mΩ is needed to
maintain stability. Within the recommended capaci-
tance and ESR limits, the output capacitor should be
chosen to provide good transient response:
The MAX8794 delivers up to 3A and operates with input
voltages up to 3.6V, but not simultaneously. High output
currents can only be achieved when the input-output
differential voltages are low (Figure 5).

Dropout Operation
A regulator’s minimum input-to-output voltage differen-
tial (dropout voltage) determines the lowest usable sup-
ply voltage. Because the MAX8794 uses an n-channel
pass transistor, the dropout voltage is a function of the
the allowable peak-to-peak voltage tolerance.
Using larger output capacitance can improve efficiency
in applications where the source and sink currents
change rapidly. The capacitor acts as a reservoir for
the rapid source and sink currents, so no extra current
is supplied by the MAX8794 or discharged to ground,
improving efficiency.

Low-Voltage DDR Linear Regulator
Noise, PSRR, and Transient Response
PCB Layout Guidelines
The MAX8794 operates with low-dropout voltage and
low quiescent current in notebook computers while
maintaining good noise, transient response, and AC-
rejection specifications. Improved supply-noise rejec-
tion and transient response can be achieved by
increasing the values of the input and output capaci-
tors. Use passive filtering techniques when operating
from noisy sources.
The MAX8794 requires proper layout to achieve the
intended output power level and low noise. Proper lay-
out involves the use of a ground plane, appropriate
component placement, and correct routing of traces
using appropriate trace widths. Refer to the MAX8794
evaluation kit for a layout example:
1) Minimize high-current ground loops. Connect the
ground of the device, the input capacitor, and the
output capacitor together at one point.
MAX8794
The MAX8794 load-transient response graphs (see the
Typical Operating Characteristics) show two compo-
nents of the output response: a DC shift from the output
impedance due to the load-current change and the
transient response. A typical transient response for a
step change in the load current from -1.5A to +1.5A is
10mV. Increasing the output capacitor’s value and
decreasing the ESR attenuate the overshoot.
2) To optimize performance, a ground plane is essen-
tial. Use all available copper layers in applications
where the device is located on a multilayer board.
3) Connect the input filter capacitor less than 10mm
from IN. The connecting copper trace carries large
currents and must be at least 2mm wide, preferably
5mm wide.
4) Connect the backside pad to a large ground plane.
Use as much copper as necessary to decrease the
thermal resistance of the device. In general, more
copper provides better heatsinking capabilities.
