1.Description
With the introduction of the ATA6264, Atmel® introduces a new generation of airbag
power supplies for future airbag systems tailored to the needs of the automotive
industry. It is designed in Atmel’s 0.8 micron BCDMOS technology. ATA6264 contains
all the necessary blocks to supply the microcontroller, the firing capacitors, and
peripheral components of the airbag system. The power supply specifically fulfills the
power requirements of dual-voltage microcontrollers used in modern ECUs. The integrated watchdog and diagnosis blocks additionally support the safety aspects. The
8-MHz 16-bit SPI enables a high communication speed. Despite the high-level functionality, ATA6264 comes in a space-saving QFP44 package.

1.1Block Description
1.1.1Integrated Boost Converter EVZ
With an external n-channel FET, the integrated boost converter EVZ provides 3 different voltages adjustable via the serial interface for the energy reserve and firing capacitors. Two
voltages are fixed values; one voltage can be adjusted using an external resistive divider.
1.1.2Integrated Buck Converter VSAT
The integrated buck converter VSAT is a fully integrated step-down converter supplied by the
boost converter, EVZ, and providing 7.8V, 9.1V, or 10.4V. The user can program the voltage via
an OTP system.
1.1.3Integrated Buck Converter VCORE
The integrated buck converter VCORE is a fully integrated step-down converter supplied either
by the boost converter, EVZ, or by the battery, and providing 1.88V, 2.5V, or 5V. The user can
program the voltage via an OTP system.
1.1.4Linear Regulator VPERI
The linear regulator, VPERI, is supplied from the buck converter VSAT and provides an accurate
voltage of 3.3V ±3% or 5V ±4% as a supply for sensitive elements such as sensors and ADC
references with the current capability of 100 mA. The user can program the voltage via an OTP
system. With a sophisticated power-sequencing concept of VCORE and VPERI, ATA6264 supports dual-voltage-supply microcontrollers, so that under all conditions the voltage difference
between the two linear regulator voltages never drops below a defined value. This measure
guarantees the safe operation of the system.

5.1Discharger Circuit
e
Applications using the ATA6264 usually use a reverse polarity protection diode (D1 in Figure
5-1) in the power supply to prevent any damage if the wrong polarity is applied to V
nately, this method includes some risk as can be seen in the following description:

capacitor (C1). D1 prevents the capacitor from being discharged via the power supply and the
very small quiescent current via the IC can also be neglected. This means that during long periods of Standby mode, the IC’s supply voltage could increase continuously until finally the
maximum supply voltage limit would be exceeded and the IC could be damaged. ATA6264
therefore features a discharger circuit which avoids such unwanted effects. If V
threshold value of approximately 26.8V, the blocking capacitor is discharged via an integrated
resistor until V
again falls below the threshold.

Figure 5-1.Discharger Circuit
5.2Initial Programming of the ATA6264
The ATA6264 supports different output voltages at the VSAT, VPERI and the VCORE regulators. In addition, different modes at the ISO9141 interfaces can be adjusted at the initial
programming (IP). The memory cells are one-time programmable (OTP) and cannot be changed
after the IP (default values are “0”). In general, the IP is done after mounting the ATA6264 on the
PCB with an in-circuit tester. The programming voltage of 11.7V has to be applied on pin VSAT.
It is also possible to use the VSAT regulator as the programming voltage because VSAT is programmed to 11.7V (±0.5V) as long as the Test mode is entered and the lock bit is not set. To
ensure proper programming of the ATA6264, at least a 10-µF electrolytic cap and a 100-nF
ceramic cap have to be applied at pin VSAT.

5.3Start-up and Power-down Procedure
E
The ATA6264 is powered via the pin K30 (battery voltage) and via a diode or a resistor it is connected to the ignition key line K15. In order to detect an interruption on one of these pins
correctly, resistors are implemented at these pins. Normally, the main supply pin of ATA6264 is
pin K30. In the case of a missing or a too-low voltage at pin K30, the whole IC is supplied from
the backup power supply capacitor hooked up to pin EVZ.

ATA6264 [Preliminary]
Depending on the initial programming of the ATA6264, the start-up procedure takes place in different phases.
5.3.1Start-up Procedure if V
is Programmed to Be 5V or 2.5V
VCORE
Phase1: After switching on the ignition key, K15 voltage will apply at pin K15. If, in addition, the
voltage at pin K30 is larger than 3.85V to 5V, the EVZ regulator will be enabled. The signal
K15GOOD can be replaced by the serial interface command KEYLATCH which can be set via
the serial interface.
Phase2: If V
is larger than 7.5V to 9V the VSAT regulator starts operating and the VCORE
EVZ
regulator will be enabled.
Phase3: After V
has reached 6.77V to 7.2V, the VPERI regulator starts working. The
VSAT
VCORE regulator starts operating depending on the charge pump voltage.
5.3.2The Power-down Procedure Takes Place in Different Phases
Phase1: If the ignition key is switched off, K15 voltage will vanish at pin K15. If the serial inter-
face command KEYLATCH is not set, the EVZ regulator stops working. The external charge
pump is still working because EVZ is above VSAT and the VSAT regulator is not in Perma-nent-on mode. The charge-pump voltage still supplies the VSAT regulator and the VCORE
regulator. Because the EVZ regulator stops working, VCORE will be switched to EVZ.
Phase2: The EVZ capacitor will be discharged, and as soon as the voltage at pin VSAT drops to
low, the VSAT regulator will go into Permanent-on mode. If VSAT reaches Permanent-on mode,
the external charge pump stops working and the VSAT voltage falls analog to the EVZ voltage. If
the voltage at VSAT is below 6.27V to 7V, the VPERI regulator will be switched off. Depending
on the charge-pump voltage, the VCORE regulator stops working.
Phase3: When the voltage at the EVZ capacitor gets to be lower than 5.5V to 6.2V, VSAT is
switched off.

5.3.4The Power-down Procedure for V
Phase1: If the ignition key is switched off, the K15 voltage will vanish at pin K15. If the serial
interface command KEYLATCH is not set, the EVZ regulator stops working. The external charge
pump is still working because EVZ is above VSAT and the VSAT regulator is not in the Permanent-on mode. The charge-pump voltage still supplies the VSAT regulator and the VCORE
regulator. Because the EVZ regulator stops working, VCORE will be switched to EVZ.
Phase2: The EVZ capacitor will be discharged, and as soon as the voltage at pin VSAT drops
too low, the VSAT regulator will go into Permanent-on mode. If VSAT reaches Permanent-on
mode, the external charge pump stops working and the VSAT voltage falls analog to the EVZ
voltage. If the voltage at VSAT is below 6.27V to 7V, the VPERI regulator will be switched off.
Depending on the charge-pump voltage, the VCORE regulator stops working. The power
sequencing function for the VPERI regulator is still active and guarantees a maximum voltage
difference between VPERI and VCORE of 2.8V
Phase3: After VVPERI becomes lower than 1.1V to 1.55V, the VCORE regulator has to stop
working.
Phase4: When the voltage at the EVZ capacitor is lower than 5.5V to 6.2V, VSAT is switched
off.

6.Power Supply Sequencing
(Only active when initial programming sets V
In order to meet the requirements of several dual-voltage-supply microcontrollers, a
power-sequencing function is implemented. The ATA6264 ensures that the voltage difference
VPERI – VCORE will not exceed 2.8V.
The voltage difference between VPERI and VCORE is monitored. In error cases, for example, if
the VCORE regulator does not start to work, the difference may rise above the 2.8V threshold. In
this case, the VPERI regulator is switched off before reaching this level and switched on again if
the voltage difference drops below a hysteresis value.

7.Charge Pump
To supply the VSAT and VCORE drivers, an external charge pump is provided. Both FETs
driven by the high charge pump voltage V
to ensure that they can be switched to a low-ohmic
CP
(1)
are
state. For correct function of the charge pump, an external capacitor of C = 47 nF has to be connected to pin SVSAT, and another of C = 100 nF to pin CP. A double diode has to be
implemented for proper function of the charge pump. An external series resistor is recommended to suppress spikes during switching of the SVSAT. The CP block is supplied by EVZ
and VSAT voltage and starts to operate as soon as the thresholds for VK15, K30 and EVZ are
achieved. An additional start-up circuitry is implemented to support the VSAT driver during the
start-up phase, thus enabling a reliable system startup.
The charge pump has an output CP-OUT to supply the external circuitry, and can be switched
via the SPI. It is capable of 250 µA.

8.GKEY Function
The GKEY function is used to enable or disable the ECU via a powerless signal. If the voltage at
pin K15 is larger than 3V to 4.15V, the charge pump and the EVZ regulator (for correct EVZ
function, the K30 pin has to be connected to the battery) will start operating. If the K15 pin is
open, an internal pull-down resistor of approximately 220 kΩ discharges the pin. A logical con-
nection between the voltage at the K15 pin, a serial-interface-driven latch command, and the
K30 voltage determines the EVZ Enable signal. In order to achieve the Switch Function of the
GKEY function, a transformer has to be used.

9.EVZ Step-up Regulator
A boost converter generates the supply voltage for energy reserve and firing capacitors in the
system. Using a voltage divider at pin FBEVZ, this voltage can be adjusted between 15V and
40V. Thus, high-voltage charged capacitors will be used to supply the whole system during the
stand-alone time (for example, broken K30 line after a crash). The step-up regulator has to start
running as soon as a certain threshold voltage at the K15 pin is exceeded. The regulator has to
stop running again if the voltage at the K15 pin falls below a voltage level (or voltage at pin K30
is missing, see Section 5.3 ”Start-up and Power-down Procedure” on page 14).
An inductor is PWM-switched by an external n-channel power FET with a fixed frequency of
100 kHz. A driver stage for the external FET is integrated into the ATA6264. The current limitation of the external FET is implemented by using an external resistor in series between the
source connection of the external FET and GND, sensing the voltage drop at this resistor via the
pins OCEVZ and GNDA.
The reference section provides a reference voltage of 1.24V for the regulation loop. An error
amplifier compares the reference voltage with the feedback signal, which is provided either from
two different serial-interface-programmable internal dividers (VEVZ1 = 22V, VEVZ2 = 31.5V) or
an external voltage divider network (VEVZExt). These dividers determine the output voltage
EVZ.

The pins EVZ and FBEVZ have to be shorted in applications without an external divider in order
to ensure a safe operation of the ATA6264 in the case of an EVZ-pin fault. If the voltage at pin
FBEVZ is larger than the voltage at pin EVZ, the ATA6264 switches the feedback path automatically to pin FBEVZ. The remaining voltage at FBEVZ causes the regulator to switch off.
The output of the error amplifier is compared with a periodic linear ramp of a saw-tooth generator by the PWM comparator. A logic signal with variable pulse width is generated, which controls
the PWM frequency of the external FET. A maximum duty cycle is determined by the duration of
the falling ramp of the saw-tooth oscillator. The saw-tooth generator is controlled by the internal
100-kHz oscillator.

The output transistor conduction is suppressed immediately if the current through the power
FET exceeds a certain level, determined by the voltage drop across an external resistor in the
range of 0.2Ω. The ATA6264 itself will see a voltage at the OCEVZ pin. If this voltage exceeds
typically 0.5V, the output transistor conduction has to be suppressed.
The external FET also has to be switched off if a low battery voltage at K30 or overvoltage on pin
EVZ is detected. Multiple output pulses at pin GEVZ during one oscillator period are suppressed
by internal logic.
In the default state - for example, before the minimum input voltage for starting the regulator has
been reached - the external transistor is switched off.
During startup, the voltage on pin EVZ is too low and the PWM comparator requires a duty cycle
of more than 90%. Due to an increasing inductance current, after several periods the overcurrent sensor becomes active and reduces the maximum duty cycle to improve magnetic energy
transfer.

A capacitance of 10 mF or more may be applied at pin EVZ. The equivalent series resistance
(ESR) should have a value of less than 0.5Ω.
After power-on, the default state of the internal dividers should always be the low EVZ voltage
divider.
The voltage at pin GNDA is compared with the voltage at pin GNDD, and if GNDA is not connected, bit b6 of the APACE status register is set. Pin GNDB is also compared with pin GNDD.
Pin GNDB not being connected will also result in bit b6 being set, and, additionally, in the EVZ
regulator being switched off.

10. VSAT Power Supply
A stabilized VSAT supply is realized by a buck converter. An external inductance is
PWM-switched with a frequency of 200 kHz via an internal high-side DMOS power transistor.
The VSAT power supply is connected to the boost converter output (EVZ), and uses the stored
energy of the boost converter capacitor if the voltage at K30 is missing. The regulator uses both
current and voltage feedback. The basis for the regulation loop is a temperature-compensated
band-gap reference voltage, which is compared with the internally divided output voltage VSAT.
The error amplifier output is applied to the inverting input of a comparator, the current feedback
is connected with the positive input. The PWM flip-flop (which is set every 5 µs by the oscillator)
is reset if the current feedback reaches the error amplifier level. In order to adjust the compensation of the regulation loop and therefore improve the behavior in case of load changes in
continuous-mode operation, pin COMSATO has to be connected to COMSATI via a compensation network. Because of the fact that current-mode-controlled converters exhibit sub-harmonic
oscillations when operating at duty cycles higher than 50%, a slope compensation (which adds
an artificial ramp to the comparator) is implemented. If the regulator input voltage at pin EVZ is
too low, the regulator switches to a duty cycle of 100% (Permanent-on mode).
The VSAT voltage can be programmed via the serial interface to one of three different voltage
values during initial programming.

The duration of the output transistor conduction depends on the VSAT level and current feedback. Conduction is suppressed immediately if the current through the output transistor exceeds
850 mA typically. A logic circuit disables, in the case of short spikes, multiple-pulse operation
during one oscillating period. If pin VSAT is open (VSAT loss), an internal current source connected to a higher voltage than VSAT acts as pull-up for this pin, to prevent the VSAT voltage
from rising up to EVZ. In order to ensure the gate voltage for the output transistor, the driver
stage is supplied by the charge pump (pin CP).

12. VCORE Power Supply
The voltage of the VCORE regulator is generated out of the K30 voltage using a step-down regulator as long as the K30 voltage is available. During times when K30 is not present
(power-down or stand-alone time), the VCORE regulator is supplied out of VEVZ. Depending on
the initial programming, the supply switch signal is derived from the CORESWAP comparator or
the EVZEN comparator. The VCORE voltage can be programmed via the serial interface to 3
different voltage values during initial programming. In the case of short spikes, a logic circuit disables multiple-pulse operation during one oscillating period. The regulator uses both current and
voltage feedback. In the following cases, the output transistor of the regulator is switched off at
once and may be switched on again with the beginning of the next clock period:
1. If the current through the transistor exceeds the output current limit value, the transistor
is switched off immediately.
2. If overvoltage is detected at the pin VCORE, the transistor is switched off immediately.
3. If the feedback voltage at the pin VCORE is missing (disconnected pin), the regulator is
switched off.

In order to trim the compensation of the regulation loop and to improve the behavior at load
changes, pin COMCOO has to be connected to COMCOI via a compensation network. Because
of the fact that current-mode-controlled converters exhibit sub-harmonic oscillations when operating at duty cycles larger than 50%, a slope compensation (which adds an artificial ramp to the
comparator) is implemented. If the regulator input voltage at pin EVZ or pin K30 is too low, the
regulator switches to a duty cycle of 100% (Permanent-on mode). Backward feeding of EVZ and
K30 is avoided. In order to ensure the gate voltage for the output transistors of the regulator, the
driver stages are supplied by the charge pump (pin CP).

14. Reference Voltage and Reference Current Generation
The pin IREF is an output derived directly from the chip’s internal reference voltage. This reference source is a band gap. All internally used precise voltages are derived from this band-gap
voltage. At pin IREF a reference resistor of 12.4 kΩ has to be applied, providing a reference cur-
rent. All internally used precise currents are derived from this current. In case of a missing
resistor at IREF, the regulators will stop. The power-sequencing block still operates as specified.
A defect of the band-gap reference source can be detected by a microcontroller by comparing
the voltage at IREF with the voltage at pin VINT (Internal 5V supply), because V
from a different band gap.

15. Reset Function (Pin RESQ and Pin RESQ2)
Pins RESQ and RESQ2 are low-active digital outputs of the ATA6264, which provide a digital
“low” signal in the case of a missing or incorrect watchdog transmission or in the case of
improper VEVZ, VPERI or VCORE voltage.
The voltage at pin RESQ depends on the proper voltages at pins EVZ, VCORE, and VPERI. The
RESQ signal will be set to high after a 16-ms delay as soon as the VCORE reset threshold and
the VPERI reset threshold and the EVZ reset threshold (signal EVZGOOD = high) have been
reached. If the watchdog circuitry does not detect a valid watchdog trigger, the RESQ signal is
set to low again. If the watchdog was triggered successfully, RESQ stays high and RESQ2 is
also set to high.
In the case that an overvoltage at VCORE or VPERI is detected, the voltages at pins RESQ and
RESQ2 are set to low.

The RESQ2 signal results from a logical AND of the Reset signal and an OK signal from the
watchdog circuitry, so RESQ2 will go high after the watchdog triggers correctly.
RESQ and RESQ2 have to be set to low if V
VPERI
or V
are below the specified threshold.
EVZ
VCORE is designed as an essential supply for a microcontroller core, and therefore special
supervisor circuits for this regulator will affect the signals at pin RESQ and RESQ2 such that
both outputs are set to low if the voltage at pin VCORE spends more than 4 regulator cycles in
an overvoltage or undervoltage condition at their corresponding switching marks. In addition, a
detected overcurrent signal during switch-on gives information about regulator problems, and
results in a low-level signal for RESQ/RESQ2.

If the watchdog is triggered incorrectly, RESQ and RESQ2 are set to low as well. Voltage spikes
on EVZ smaller than or equal to 10 µs to 20 µs do not influence the RESQ or RESQ2 pins.
If the ATA6264 internal supply voltage (VINT) is below its proper value, RESQ and RESQ2 are
also set to low.
For all voltages at VPERI below the reset threshold, pins RESQ and RESQ2 are switched to
low. Both pins deliver a valid low until VPERI goes lower than 1V.

16. Watchdog Function
To verify the proper function of the microcontroller, watchdog logic is included. As the ATA6264
is powered up, the RESQ2 signal stays low until the first valid watchdog trigger is detected.
Features:
• Watchdog trigger has to be done via the serial interface
• In case of a watchdog-trigger mismatch, the ATA6264 is set into its default state (latches,
MISO status, etc.) and RESQ is set to low.
• Watchdog has to be triggered cyclically (prescaler for repetition time is set via serial interface
command). Default: 16-ms repetition time

4929B–AUTO–01/07

Requirements for successful trigger:
• Minimum one valid different serial interface command between two trigger watchdog
commands is necessary. Exception: First trigger watchdog command need not be preceded
by a different serial interface command.
• Cyclic repetition for the trigger watchdog command within ±25% tolerance is necessary.
Incorrect trigger causes RESQ active.
The prescaler will be set to its default value with RESQ = low
Initial phase:
Timing for the first trigger watchdog is fixed to 16 ms after RESQ changes from low to high (trigger window ±25% means ±4-ms trigger window for first trigger watchdog command). After the
first watchdog trigger, the prescaler can be reconfigured within a specified time window (< 1 ms).
Only one configuration command is allowed in this time window. For watchdog trigger handling,
the Serial Interface Reconfigure command can be chosen as a different serial interface command. Any further configuration inside or outside this time window will cause an immediate reset
via RESQ.

17. LIN/ISO 9141 Interfaces
The ATA6264 includes two complete ISO 9141 interfaces. Interface #1 is controlled via the pins
RxD1 and TxD1, interface #2 is controlled via the pins RxD2 and TxD2. In order to support both
ISO9141 and LIN bus requirements, interface #1 can be configured during initial programming.
In applications where one or both ISO9141 interfaces are not needed, the output transistors of
K1 and K2 may be used as simple low-side transistors, switched on or off by the serial interface.
In this mode, a diagnosis of the pins K1 and K2 via the analog multiplexer is possible. The K1
and K2 outputs include an internal current limitation and overtemperature protection circuit.

18. Voltage/Current Sources (IASGx Sources)
For a variable resistance measurement and especially for buckle-switch detection, five constant
voltage sources, switchable between two different voltages (V1 and V2) are implemented. The
current delivered by these voltage sources is mirrored by a factor of 1 / 10 or 1 / 15 to the pin
ISENS and causes a voltage drop at the external resistor connected to this pin. This voltage
drop can be measured at pin UZP by choosing the corresponding AMUX command. The external resistor at pin IASG
can be calculated using the following formulas:

ATA6264 [Preliminary]
The pin UZP is an analog output pin of the ATA6264. The UZP buffer is realized as a tristate output with the ability to drive to VPERI as well as to GNDA. The selected measurement result is
given to the pin UZP as long as no new measurement is selected or the tristate command has
been sent. Driver capability is typically 4 mA.

21. Chip Temperature Measurement
A serial interface command allows measuring a chip-temperature–dependent voltage which is
generated by two diodes connected in series. Three 2-diode sensors are connected in parallel
and located in the following blocks: VPERI, VCORE, and VSAT. The diodes are supplied by a
temperature-constant current source, the voltage drop of the diodes is switched via AMUX to pin
UZP. If the overtemperature level is exceeded, bit a7 in the status register is set to “1”.

22. Serial Interface Commands
22.1Overview
All functions of the ATA6264 are triggered by 16-bit serial interface commands. Some of these
commands are latched because their actions have to continue for a longer time. Other commands have to be executed as long as no other command is received via the serial interface.
The pin SSQ (low active) is used to select the ATA6264. If pin SSQ is inactive (high), the output
pin MISO is disabled (tristate) and the signals at the pins SCLK and MOSI are ignored and do
not affect the data in the serial interface register.
With the falling edge at pin SSQ, the ATA6264 response on the previous command is latched in
the ATA6264 status register and, after a short delay time, the signal at pin MISO is valid. With
the rising edge at pin SCLK, the data at pin MOSI is shifted into the serial interface input register
and the next bit of the status register is shifted to pin MISO. A command received at pin MOSI is
valid and will be executed if the number of rising edges at pin SCLK was exactly 16 during data
transmission; otherwise, the received signal will be ignored.
The slave select pin, SSQ, allows the individual selection of different slave SPI devices. Slave
devices that are not selected do not interfere with SPI bus activities. To ensure deactivation of
the device in case of an open SSQ pin, an internal current source is implemented to drive the
SSQ pin to high level (VPERI).
All commands, independent of their function, consist of 16 bits. The serial interface includes a
16-bit input shift register, 16-bit latches, and a decoder logic block for the generation of the SPI
command signals.
To suppress data transfer errors in the case of spikes or glitches on the clock signal, a
16-clock-cycle counter is provided. Only after 16 clock cycles does the rising edge of SSQ cause
an internal signal latch enable, which transfers the data from the shift register to the 16-bit latch.
The data word is decoded to address the correct functional block.

23. Test Mode
For better testability of the ATA6264, a test mode is implemented. This mode is activated if the
pins RESQ and TxD1 are connected to GND, the pins RESQ2 and TxD2 are connected to
VPERI, and the serial interface command 5A5Ah is sent to the ATA6264. Test mode is latched
as long as the ATA6264 is powered (V
> 4.2V to 5V and V
K30
> 3V to 4V). In Test mode the
K15
watchdog is disabled, which means that RESQ and RESQ2 depend on the voltage levels of the
pins VCORE, VPERI and EVZ. In order to provide the programming voltage at VSAT for the initial programming, V
is set to 11.7V (±0.5V) in Test mode if the lock bit is not set.
VSAT
After a reset, Test mode is disabled (default).
The following serial interface commands are used for the ATA6264 supplier test: E6B5(h) and
E6BA(h).
