RT6551A/B  
Complete DDR Memory Power Supply Controller  
General Description  
The RT6551A/B provides a complete power supply for  
DDR2/DDR3/DDR3L/LPDDR3/DDR4 memory systems. It  
integrates a synchronous PWM Buck controller with a  
1.5Asink/source tracking linear regulator and buffered low  
noise reference.  
RT6551A/B supports all of the sleep state controls placing  
VTT at high-Z in S3 and discharging VDDQ, VTT and  
VTTREF (soft-off) in S4/S5.  
The RT6551A/B provides protections including OVP, UVP,  
and thermal shutdown. The RT6551A/B is available in the  
WQFN-20L 3x3 package.  
The PWM controller provides the low quiescent current,  
high efficiency, excellent transient response, and highDC  
output accuracy needed for stepping down high-voltage  
batteries to generate low-voltage chipset RAM supplies  
in notebook computers. The constant on-time PWM  
control scheme handles wide input/output voltage ratios  
with ease and provides 100ns instant-onresponse to  
load transients while maintaining a relatively constant  
switching frequency.  
Applications  
DDR2/DDR3/DDR3L/LPDDR3/DDR4 Memory Power  
Supplies  
Notebook computers  
SSTL18, SSTL15 and HSTL bus termination  
Pin Configurations  
The RT6551A/B achieves high efficiency at a reduced cost  
by eliminating the current-sense resistor found in  
traditional current mode PWMs. Efficiency is further  
enhanced by its ability to drive very large synchronous  
rectifier MOSFETs. The Buck conversion allows this device  
to directly step down high-voltage batteries for the highest  
possible efficiency.

RT6551A/B  
Operation  
Over-Voltage Protection (OVP) & Under-Voltage  
Protection (UVP)  
The RT6551A/B is a constant on-time synchronous step-  
down controller. In normal operation, the high-side  
N-MOSFET is turned on when the output voltage is lower  
than VREF, and is turned off after the internal one-shot  
timer expires. While the high-side N-MOSFET is turned  
off, the low-side N-MOSFET is turned on to conduct the  
inductor current until next cycle begins.  
The output voltage is continuously monitored for over-  
voltage and under-voltage protection. When the output  
voltage exceeds its set voltage threshold( 115% of VOUT),  
UGATE goes low and LGATE is forced high. When the  
feedback voltage is less than 0.45V, under-voltage  
protection is triggered and then both UGATE and LGATE  
gate drivers are forced low. The controller is latched until  
VDDis re-supplied and exceeds the POR rising threshold  
voltage or S5 is reset.  
Soft-Start (SS)  
For internal soft-start function, an internal current source  
charges an internal capacitor to build the soft-start ramp  
voltage. The output voltage will track the internal ramp  
voltage during soft-start interval.  
VTT Linear Regulator and VTTREF  
This VTT linear regulator employs ultimate fast response  
feedback loop so that small ceramic capacitors are enough  
for keeping track of VTTREF within 40mV at all conditions,  
including fast load transient. The VTTREF block consists  
of on-chip 1/2 divider, LPF and buffer. This regulator also  
has sink and source capability up to 10mA. Bypass  
VTTREF toGNDwith a 33nF ceramic capacitor for stable  
operation.  
PGOOD  
The power good output is an open-drain architecture. When  
the soft-start is finished, the PGOOD open-drain output  
will be high impedance.  
Current Limit  
The current limit circuit employs a unique valleycurrent  
sensing algorithm. If the magnitude of the current sense  
signal at PHASE is above the current limit threshold, the  
PWM is not allowed to initiate a new cycle. The current  
limit threshold can be set with an external voltage setting  
resistor on the CS pin.

RT6551A/B  
Application Information  
This input voltage proportional current is used to charge  
an internal on-time capacitor. The on-time is the time  
required for the voltage on this capacitor to charge from  
zero volts to VVDDQ, thereby making the on-time of the  
high-side switch directly proportional to the output voltage  
and inversely proportional to the input voltage. This  
implementation results in a nearly constant switching  
frequency without the need of a clock generator, as shown  
below :  
The RT6551A/B PWM controller provides the high  
efficiency, excellent transient response, and highDC output  
accuracy needed for stepping down high voltage batteries  
to generate low voltage chipset RAM supplies in notebook  
computers. Richtek's Mach ResponseTM technology is  
specifically designed for providing 100ns instant-on”  
response to load steps while maintaining a relatively  
constant operating frequency and inductor operating point  
over a wide range of input voltages. The topology solves  
the poor load transient response timing problems of fixed-  
frequency current mode PWMs, and avoids problems  
caused by widely varying switching frequencies in  
conventional constant-on-time and constant- off-time PWM  
schemes. The DRVTM mode PWM modulator is  
specifically designed to have better noise immunity for  
such a single output application.

where RTON is the resistor connected from VIN to the TON  
pin. Note that the setting on-time must be longer than  
100ns (typ.) of the minimum on-time and shorter than 3μs  
(typ.) of the maximum on-time.  
The 1.5A sink/source LDO maintains fast transient  
response, only requiring 10μF of ceramic output  
capacitance. In addition, the LDO supply input is available  
externally to significantly reduce the total power losses.  
The RT6551A/B supports all of the sleep state controls,  
placing VTT at high-Z in S3 and discharging VDDQ, VTT  
and VTTREF (soft-off) in S4/S5.  
Diode Emulation Mode  
In diode emulation mode, the RT6551A/B automatically  
reduces switching frequency at light load conditions to  
maintain high efficiency. As the output current decreases  
from heavy load condition, the inductor current will also  
be reduced and eventually come to the point where its  
valley touches zero current, which is the boundary between  
continuous conduction and discontinuous conduction  
modes. To emulate the behavior of diodes, the low-side  
MOSFET allows only partial negative current to flow when  
the inductor freewheeling current reaches negative.As the  
load current is further decreased, it takes longer and longer  
time to discharge the output capacitor to the level that  
requires the next ONcycle. The on-time is kept the  
same as that in the heavy load condition. In contrast, when  
the output current increases from light load to heavy load,  
the switching frequency increases to the preset value as  
the inductor current reaches the continuous condition. The  
transition load point to the light load operation is shown in  
Figure 3 and can be calculated as follows :  
PWM Operation  
The Mach ResponseTM DRVTM mode controller relies on  
the output filter capacitor's Effective Series Resistance  
(ESR) to act as a current-sense resistor, so the output  
ripple voltage provides the PWM ramp signal. Referring to  
the function block diagrams of the RT6551A/B, the  
synchronous high-side MOSFET is turned on at the  
beginning of each cycle. After the internal one-shot timer  
expires, the MOSFET will be turned off. The pulse width  
of this one-shot is determined by the converter's input  
and output voltages to keep the frequency fairly constant  
over the entire input voltage range.Another one-shot sets  
a minimum off-time (400ns typ.).

RT6551A/B  
I
L
The RT6551A/B uses the on resistance of the synchronous  
rectifier as the current sense element and supports  
temperature compensated MOSFET RDS(ON) sensing. The  
setting resistor, RILIM, between the CS pin and VDD sets  
the current limit threshold. The CS pin sources an internal  
5μA (typ.) current source at room temperature. This current  
has a 4700ppm/°C temperature slope to compensate the  
temperature dependency of RDS(ON). When the voltage  
drop across the low-side MOSFET equals the voltage  
across the RILIM setting resistor, the positive current limit  
will activate. The high-side MOSFET will not be turned on  
until the voltage drop across the low-side MOSFET falls  
below the current limit threshold.

Figure 3. Boundary Condition of CCM/DCM  
The switching waveforms may appear noisy and  
asynchronous when light load causes diode-emulation  
operation, but this is a normal operating condition that  
results in high light load efficiency. Trade offs in DEM  
noise vs. light load efficiency is made by varying the  
inductor value. Generally, low inductor values produce a  
broader efficiency vs. load curve, while higher values result  
in higher full load efficiency (assuming that the coil  
resistance remains fixed) and less output voltage ripple.  
The disadvantages for using higher inductor values include  
larger physical size and degraded load transient response  
(especially at low input voltage levels).  
Choose a current limit setting resistor via the following  
equation :

And then the CS pin voltage is  
VCS = RLIMIT x 5μA  
Note that the VCS should be set from 0.4V to 3V.  
Carefully observe the PCB layout guidelines to ensure  
that noise andDC errors do not corrupt the current-sense  
signal seen by PHASE and PGND.  
Current Limit Setting for VDDQ (CS)  
The RT6551A/B provides cycle-by-cycle current limit  
control. The current limit circuit employs a unique valley”  
current sensing algorithm. If the magnitude of the current  
sense signal at PHASE is above the current limit  
threshold, the PWM is not allowed to initiate a new cycle  
(Figure 4). The actual peak current is greater than the  
current limit threshold by an amount equal to the inductor  
ripple current. Therefore, the exact current limit  
characteristic and maximum load capability are a function  
of the sense resistance, inductor value, battery and output  
voltage.  
Current Protection for VTT  
The LDO has an internally fixed constant over-current limit  
of 2.6A while operating at normal condition. From then  
on, when the output voltage exceeds 20% of its set  
voltage, the internal power good signal will transit from  
high to low.  
MOSFET Gate Driver (UGATE, LGATE)  
The high-side driver is designed to drive high current, low  
RDS(ON) N-MOSFET(s). When configured as a floating  
driver, 5V bias voltage is delivered from the VDD supply.  
The average drive current is proportional to the gate charge  
at VGS = 5V times switching frequency. The instantaneous  
drive current is supplied by the flying capacitor between  
the BOOT and PHASE pins.

RT6551A/B  
The low-side driver is designed to drive high current, low  
RDS(ON) N-MOSFET(s). The internal pull down transistor  
that drives LGATE low is robust, with a 0.8Ω typical on-  
resistance. A 5V bias voltage is delivered from the VDD  
supply. The instantaneous drive current is supplied by the  
flying capacitor between VDDand PGND.  
begins once the chip is enabled. During soft-start, internal  
bandgap circuit gradually ramps up the reference voltage  
from zero. The maximum reference value is set externally  
as described in Table 1.  
The soft-start function of VTT is achieved by the current  
limit and VTTREF voltage through the internal RC delay  
ramp up after S3 is high. During VTT startup, the current  
limit level is 2.6A. This allows the output to start up  
smoothly and safely under enough source/sink ability.  
For high current applications, some combinations of high-  
and low-side MOSFETs may cause excessive gate drain  
coupling, which leads to efficiency killing, EMI producing  
shoot through currents. This is often remedied by adding  
a resistor in series on BOOT, which increases the turn-  
on rising time of the high-side MOSFET without degrading  
the turn-off time (Figure 5).  
While TSS is the rising period of VTT , the formula used  
to calculated this rising period is TSS = (VTT x CVTT)/  
IVTTOCL, it's base on the value of output capacitor CVTT, the  
settled output voltage VTT and the output current limit

Power Good Output (PGOOD)  
The power good output is an open drain output that requires  
a pull-up resistor. When the output voltage is 15% below  
its set voltage, PGOOD will be pulled low. It is held low  
until the output voltage returns to 87% of its set voltage  
once more. During soft-start, PGOODis actively held low  
and only allowed to be pulled high after soft-start is over  
and the output reaches 87% of its set voltage. There is a  
5μs delay built into PGOOD circuitry to prevent false  
transition.  
Output Over-Voltage Protection (OVP)  
The output voltage can be continuously monitored for over-  
voltage condition. If the output exceeds 15% of its set  
voltage threshold, over voltage protection will be triggered  
and the LGATE low-side gate driver will be forced high.  
This activates the low-side MOSFET switch which rapidly  
discharges the output capacitor and reduces the output  
voltage. There is a 5μs latch delay built into the over-  
voltage protection circuit. The RT6551A/B will be latched  
if the output voltage remains above the OV threshold after  
the latch delay period. The latched OVP will pull low  
PGOODand can only be released by VDDpower on reset  
or S5.  
POR Protection  
The RT6551A/B has a VDD supply power on reset  
protection (POR). When the VDD voltage is higher than  
4.2V (typ.), VDDQ, VTT and VTTREF will be activated.  
This is a non-latch protection.  
Note that latching the LGATE high will cause the output  
voltage to dip slightly negative when energy has been  
previously stored in the LC tank circuit. For loads that  
cannot tolerate a negative voltage, place a power Schottky  
diode across the output to act as a reverse polarity clamp.  
Soft-Start  
The RT6551A/B provides an internal soft-start function to  
prevent large inrush current and output voltage overshoot  
when the converter starts up. Soft-start (SS) automatically  
If the over voltage condition is caused by a shorted high-

create an electrical shorted circuit between the battery

from the output.

Output Under-Voltage Protection (UVP)  
When the reference voltage is changed from 0.75V to  
0.675V, the OVP latch will be masked for 120μs to prevent  
an unexpected shutdown.  
The output voltage can be continuously monitored for under-  
voltage condition. When UVP is enabled, the under voltage  
protection is triggered if the FB is less than 0.45V. Then,  
both UGATE and LGATE gate drivers will be forced low  
until next VDDor S5 reset. During soft-start, the UVP has  
a blanking time around 5ms.  
VTT Linear Regulator and VTTREF  
The RT6551A/B integrates a high performance low dropout  
linear regulator that is capable of sourcing and sinking  
currents up to 1.5A. This VTT linear regulator employs  
ultimate fast response feedback loop so that small ceramic  
capacitors are enough for keeping track of VTTREF within  
40mV at all conditions, including fast load transient. To  
achieve tight regulation with minimum effect of wiring  
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 VTT pin. For  
stable operation, total capacitance of the VTT output  
terminal can be equal to or greater than 10μF. It is  
recommended to attach two 10μF ceramic capacitors in  
parallel to minimize the effect of ESR and ESL. If ESR of  
the output capacitor is greater than 2mΩ, insert an RC  
filter between the output and VTTSNS input to achieve  
loop stability. The RC filter time constant should be almost  
the same or slightly lower than the time constant made  
by the output capacitor and its ESR. The VTTREF block  
consists of on-chip 1/2 divider, LPF and buffer. This regulator  
also has sink and source capability up to 10mA. Bypass  
VTTREF toGNDwith a 33nF ceramic capacitor for stable  
operation.  
Thermal Protection  
The RT6551A/B features a thermal protection function. If  
the temperature exceeds the threshold, 165°C (typ.), the  
PWM output, VTTREF and VTT will be shut down. The  
RT6551A/B is latched once thermal shutdown is triggered  
and can only be released by VDD power on reset or S5.  
Output Voltage Setting (FB)  
Connect a resistive voltage divider at FB between VDDQ  
andGNDto adjust the respective output voltage between  
0.675V and 3.3V (Figure 6). Choose R2 to be  
approximately 10kΩ and solve for R1 using the equation  
as follows :

In DDR2/DDR3 memory applications, it is important to

start-up and shutdown. The RT6551A/B provides this  
management by simply connecting both S3 and S5  
terminals to the sleep-mode signals such as SLP_S3 and  
SLP_S5 in notebook PC system. All VDDQ, VTTREF and  
VTT are turned on at S0 state (S3 = S5 = high). In S3  
state (S3 = low, S5 = high), VDDQ and VTTREF voltages  
are kept on while VTT is turned off and left at high

does not sink or source current in this state. In S4/S5  
states (S3 = S5 = low), all of the three outputs are disabled  
and discharged to ground. The code of each state  
represents the following: S0 = full ON, S3 = suspend to  
RAM (STR), S4 = suspend to disk (STD), S5 = soft OFF.

Find a low loss inductor having the lowest possible DC  
resistance that fits in the allotted dimensions. Ferrite cores  
are often the best choice, although powdered iron is  
inexpensive and can work well at 200kHz. The core must  
be large enough and not saturate at the peak inductor

VDDQ and VTT Discharge Control  
This inductor ripple current also impacts transient-response  
performance, especially at low VIN VVDDQ differences.  
Low inductor values allow the inductor current to slew  
faster, replenishing charge removed from the output filter  
capacitors by a sudden load step. The peak amplitude of  
the output transient (VSAG) is also a function of the output  
transient. VSAG also features a function of the maximum  
duty factor, which can be calculated from the on-time and  
minimum off-time :  
The RT6551A/B discharges VDDQ, VTTREF and VTT  
outputs when S5 is low or in the S4/S5 state. The two  
discharge modes can be selected from different part no.

When in tracking discharge mode, the RT6551A

during this discharge. Note that the VDDQ discharge

be connected to VDDQ in this mode. The internal LDO  
can handle up to 1.5A and discharge quickly.

Output Capacitor Selection  
The output filter capacitor must have low enough ESR to  
meet output ripple and load-transient requirements, yet  
have high enough ESR to satisfy stability requirements.  
Also, the capacitance must be high enough to absorb the  
inductor energy going from a full-load to no-load condition  
without tripping the OVP circuit.  
When in non-tracking discharge mode, the RT6551B  
discharges outputs using internal MOSFETs which are  
connected to VDDQ and VTT. The current capability of  
these MOSFETs is limited to discharge slowly. Note that  
the VDDQ discharge current flows from VDDQ to GND in  
this mode. In order to discharge smoothly, the RT6551B  
provides a special function that the low-side MOSFET  
will switch periodically as phase pin with remaining  
voltage.  
For CPU core voltage converters and other applications  
where the output is subject to violent load transients, the  
output capacitor's size depends on how much ESR is  
needed to prevent the output from dipping too low under a  
load transient. Ignoring the sag due to finite capacitance :

Thermal Considerations  
Layout Considerations  
For continuous operation, do not exceed absolute  
maximum junction temperature. The maximum power  
dissipation depends on the thermal resistance of the IC  
package, PCB layout, rate of surrounding airflow, and  
difference between junction and ambient temperature. The  
maximum power dissipation can be calculated by the  
following formula :  
Layout is very important in high frequency switching  
converter design. If designed improperly, the PCB could  
radiate excessive noise and contribute to the converter  
instability. Certain points must be considered before  
starting a layout for the RT6551A/B.  
Keep current limit setting network as close as possible  
to the IC. Routing of the network should avoid coupling  
to high voltage switching node.  
PD(MAX) = (TJ(MAX) TA) / θJA  
where TJ(MAX) is the maximum junction temperature, TA is  
the ambient temperature, and θJA is the junction to ambient  
thermal resistance.  
Connections from the drivers to the respective gate of  
the high-side or the low-side MOSFET should be as  
short as possible to reduce stray inductance.  
For recommended operating condition specifications, the  
maximum junction temperature is 125°C. The junction to  
ambient thermal resistance, θJA, is layout dependent. For  
WQFN-20L 3x3 package, the thermal resistance, θJA, is  
30°C/W on a standard JEDEC 51-7 four-layer thermal test  
board. The maximum power dissipation at TA = 25°C can  
be calculated by the following formula :  
All sensitive analog traces and components such as  
VDDQ, FB, PGND, PGOOD, CS, VDD, and TONshould  
be placed away from high voltage switching nodes such  
as PHASE, LGATE, UGATE, and BOOT to avoid  
coupling. Use internal layer(s) as ground plane(s) and  
shield the feedback trace from power traces and  
components.  
PD(MAX) = (125°C 25°C) / (30°C/W) = 3.33W for  
WQFN-20L 3x3 package  
VLDOINshould be connected to VDDQ output with short  
and wide trace. If different power source is used for  
VLDOIN, an input bypass capacitor should be placed as  
close as possible to the pin with short and wide trace.  
The maximum power dissipation depends on the operating  
ambient temperature for fixed TJ(MAX) and thermal  
resistance, θJA. The derating curves in Figure 7 allow the  
designer to see the effect of rising ambient temperature  
on the maximum power dissipation.  
The output capacitor for VTT should be placed close to  
the pin with short and wide connection in order to avoid  
additional ESR and/or ESL of the trace.

RT6551A/B  
It is strongly recommended to connect VTTSNS to the  
positive node of VTT output capacitor(s) as a separate  
trace from the high current power line to avoid additional  
ESR and/or ESL. If it is needed to sense the voltage of  
the point of the load, it is recommended to attach the  
output capacitor(s) at that point. It is also recommended  
to minimize any additional ESR and/or ESL of ground  
trace between theGNDpin and the output capacitor(s).  
Current sense connections must always be made using  
Kelvin connections to ensure an accurate signal, with  
the current limit resistor located at the device.  
Power sections should connect directly to ground  
plane(s) using multiple vias as required for current  
handling (including the chip power ground connections).  
Power components should be placed as close to the IC  
as possible to minimize loops and reduce losses.
