●Description of operations
・VCC
In BD3533/31/32, an independent power input pin is provided for an internal circuit operation of the IC. This is used to drive
the amplifier circuit of the IC, and its maximum current rating is 4 mA. The power supply voltage is 3.3 to 5.5 volts (BD3533)
or 5 volts (BD3531/32). It is recommended to connect a bypass capacitor of 1 μF or so to VCC.
・VDDQ
Reference input pin for the output voltage, that may be used to satisfy the JEDEC requirement for DDR-SDRAM (VTT =
1/2VDDQ) by dividing the voltage inside the IC with two 50 kΩ voltage-divider resistors
For BD3533, care must be taken to an input noise to VDDQ pin because this IC also cuts such noise input into half and
provides it with the voltage output divided in half. Such noise may be reduced with an RC filter consisting of such resistance
and capacitance (220 Ω and 2.2 μF, for instance) that may not give significant effect to voltage dividing inside the IC.
・VTT_IN
VTT_IN is a power supply input pin for VTT output. Voltage in the range between 1.0 and 5.5 volts may be supplied to this
VTT_IN terminal, but care must be taken to the current limitation due to on-resistance of the IC and the change in allowable
loss due to input/output voltage difference.
Generally, the following voltages are supplied:
・ DDR I VTT_IN=2.5V
・ DDRII VTT_IN=1.8V
Higher impedance of the voltage input at VTT_IN may result in oscillation or degradation in ripple rejection, which must be
noted. To VTT_IN terminal, it is recommended to use a 10 μF capacitor characterized with less change in capacitance. But
it may depend on the characteristics of the power supply input and the impedance of the pc board wiring, which must be
carefully checked before use.
・VREF
In BD3533/31/32, a reference voltage output pin independent from VTT output is given to provide a reference input for a
memory controller and a DRAM. Even if EN pin turns to “Low” level, VREF output is kept unchanged, compatible with “Self
Refresh” state of DRAM. The maximum current capability of VREF is 20 mA, and a suitable capacitor is needed to stabilize
the output voltage. It is recommended to use a combination of a 1.0 to 2.2 μF ceramic capacitor characterized with less
change in capacitance and a 0.5 to 2.2 Ω phase compensator resistor, or a 10μF ceramic or tantalum capacitor instead. For
an application where VREF current is low, a capacitor of lower capacitance may be used. If VREF current is 1 mA or less, it
is possible to secure a phase margin with a ceramic capacitor of 1 μF more or less.
・VTTS
An independent pin provided to improve load regulation of VTT output. In case that longer wiring is needed to the load at
VTT output, connecting VTTS from the load side may improve the load regulation.
10/16
・VTT
A DDR memory termination output pin. BD3533/31/32 has a sink/source current capability of ±1.0A/±1.5A/±3.0A
respectively. The output voltage tracks the voltage divided in half at VDDQ pin. VTT output is turned to OFF when VCC
UVLO or thermal shutdown protector is activated with EN pin level turned to “Low”. Do not fail to connect a capacitor to
VTT output pin for a loop gain phase compensation and a reduction in output voltage variation in the event of sudden change
in load. Insufficient capacitance may cause an oscillation. High ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) of the capacitor may
result in increase in output voltage variation in the event of sudden change in load. It is recommended to use a 220 μF
functional polymer capacitor (OS-CON, POS-CAP, NEO-CAP), though it depends on ambient temperature and other
conditions. A low ESR ceramic capacitor may reduce a loop gain phase margin and may cause an oscillation, which may
be improved by connecting a resistor in series with the capacitor.
・EN
With an input of 2.3 volts or higher, the level at EN pin turns to “High” to provide VTT output. If the input is lowered to 0.8
volts or less, the level at EN pin turns to “Low” and VTT status turns to Hi-Z. But if VCC and VDDQ are established, VREF
output is maintained.

● Heat loss
Thermal design must be conducted with the operation under the conditions listed below (which are the guaranteed
temperature range requiring consideration on appropriate margins etc.):
1. Ambient temperature Ta: 100°C or lower
2. Chip junction temperature Tj: 150°C or lower
The chip junction temperature Tj can be considered as follows. See Page 14/16 for θja.
Most of heat loss in BD3533/31/32 occurs at the output N-channel FET. The power lost is determined by multiplying the
voltage between VIN and Vo by the output current. As this IC employs the power PKG, the thermal derating characteristics
significantly depends on the pc board conditions. When designing, care must be taken to the size of a pc board to be used.
Power dissipation (W) = {Input voltage (V
) – Output voltage (VTT=1/2VDDQ)}×Io (Ave)
TT_IN
If VTT_IN = 1.8 volts, VDDQ=1.8 volts, and Io (Ave)=0.5 A, for instance, the power dissipation is determined as follows:
Power dissipation (W) = {1.8 (V) – 0.9 (V)} × 0.5 (A) = 0.4 (W)
●NOTE FOR USE
1.Absolute maximum ratings
For the present product, thoroughgoing quality control is carried out, but in the event that applied voltage, working
temperature range, and other absolute maximum rating are exceeded, the present product may be destroyed. Because it is
unable to identify the short mode, open mode, etc., if any special mode is assumed, which exceeds the absolute maximum
rating, physical safety measures are requested to be taken, such as fuses, etc.
2.GND potential
Bring the GND terminal potential to the minimum potential in any operating condition.
3.Thermal design
Consider allowable loss (Pd) under actual working condition and carry out thermal design with sufficient margin provided.
4.Terminal-to-terminal short-circuit and erroneous mounting
When the present IC is mounted to a printed circuit board, take utmost care to direction of IC and displacement. In the event
that the IC is mounted erroneously, IC may be destroyed. In the event of short-circuit caused by foreign matter that enters in
a clearance between outputs or output and power-GND, the IC may be destroyed.
5.Operation in strong electromagnetic field
The use of the present IC in the strong electromagnetic field may result in maloperation, to which care must be taken.
6.Built-in thermal shutdown protection circuit
The present IC incorporates a thermal shutdown protection circuit (TSD circuit). The working temperature is 175°C
(standard value) and has a -15°C (standard value) hysteresis width. When the IC chip temperature rises and the TSD circuit
operates, the output terminal is brought to the OFF state. The built-in thermal shutdown protection circuit (TSD circuit) is first
and foremost intended for interrupt IC from thermal runaway, and is not intended to protect and warrant the IC.
Consequently, never attempt to continuously use the IC after this circuit is activated or to use the circuit with the activation of
the circuit premised.
7.Capacitor across output and GND
In the event a large capacitor is connected across output and GND, when Vcc and VIN are short-circuited with 0V or GND for
some kind of reasons, current charged in the capacitor flows into the output and may destroy the IC. Use a capacitor smaller
than 1000 μF between output and GND.
8.Inspection by set substrate
In the event a capacitor is connected to a pin with low impedance at the time of inspection with a set substrate, there is a fear
of applying stress to the IC. Therefore, be sure to discharge electricity for every process. As electrostatic measures,
provide grounding in the assembly process, and take utmost care in transportation and storage. Furthermore, when the set
substrate is connected to a jig in the inspection process, be sure to turn OFF power supply to connect the jig and be sure to
turn OFF power supply to remove the jig.
9. Inputs to IC terminals
This device is a monolithic IC with P
the N-layer of each element form a PN junction which works as:
・a diode if the electric potentials at the terminals satisfy the following relationship; GND>Terminal A>Terminal B, or
・a parasitic transistor if the electric potentials at the terminals satisfy the following relationship; Terminal B>GND Terminal A.
The structure of the IC inevitably forms parasitic elements, the activation of which may cause interference among circuits,
and/or malfunctions contributing to breakdown. It is therefore requested to take care not to use the device in such manner
that the voltage lower than GND (at P-substrate) may be applied to the input terminal, which may result in activation of
parasitic elements.

10. GND wiring pattern
When both a small-signal GND and high current GND are present, single-point grounding (at the set standard point) is
recommended, in order to separate the small-signal and high current patterns, and to be sure the voltage change stemming
from the wiring resistance and high current does not cause any voltage change in the small-signal GND. In the same way,
care must be taken to avoid wiring pattern fluctuations in any connected external component GND.
11. Output capacitor (C1)
Do not fail to connect a output capacitor to VREF output terminal for stabilization of output voltage. The capacitor connected
to VREF output terminal works as a loop gain phase compensator. Insufficient capacitance may cause an oscillation. It is
recommended to use a low temperature coefficient 1-10 μF ceramic capacitor, though it depends on ambient temperature and
load conditions. It is therefore requested to carefully check under the actual temperature and load conditions to be applied.
12. Output capacitor (C4)
Do not fail to connect a capacitor to VTT output pin for stabilization of output voltage. This output capacitor works as a loop
gain phase compensator and an output voltage variation reducer in the event of sudden change in load. Insufficient
capacitance may cause an oscillation. And if the equivalent series resistance (ESR) of this capacitor is high, the variation in
output voltage increases in the event of sudden change in load. It is recommended to use a 47-220 μF functional polymer
capacitor, though it depends on ambient temperature and load conditions. Using a low ESR ceramic capacitor may reduce a
loop gain phase margin and cause an oscillation, which may be improved by connecting a resistor in series with the capacitor.
It is therefore requested to carefully check under the actual temperature and load conditions to be applied.
13. Input capacitors (C2 and C3)
These input capacitors are used to reduce the output impedance of power supply to be connected to the input terminals (VCC
and VTT_IN). Increase in the power supply output impedance may result in oscillation or degradation in ripple rejecting
characteristics. It is recommended to use a low temperature coefficient 1μF (for VCC) and 10μF (for VTT_IN) capacitor, but
it depends on the characteristics of the power supply input, and the capacitance and impedance of the pc board wiring pattern.
It is therefore requested to carefully check under the actual temperature and load conditions to be applied.
14. Input terminals (VCC, VDDQ, VTT_IN and EN)
VCC, VDDQ, VTT_IN and EN terminals of this IC are made up independent one another. To VCC terminal, the UVLO
function is provided for malfunction protection. Irrespective of the input order of the inputs terminals, VTT output is activated
to provide the output voltage when UVLO and EN voltages reach the threshold voltage while VREF output is activated when
UVLO voltage reaches the threshold. If VDDQ and VTT_IN terminals have equal potential and common impedance, any
change in current at VTT_IN terminal may result in variation of VTT_IN voltage, which affects VDDQ terminal and may cause
variation in the output voltage. It is therefore required to perform wiring in such manner that VDDQ and VTT_IN terminals
may not have common impedance. If impossible, take appropriate corrective measures including suitable CR filter to be
inserted between VDDQ and VTT_IN terminals.
15. VTTS terminal
A terminal used to improve load regulation of VTT output. Connection with VTT terminal must be done not to have common
impedance with high current line, which may offer better load regulation of VTT output.
16. Operating range
Within the operating range, the operation and function of the circuits are generally guaranteed at an ambient temperature
within the range specified. The values specified for electrical characteristics may not be guaranteed, but drastic change may
not occur to such characteristics within the operating range.
17. Allowable loss Pd
For the allowable loss, the thermal derating characteristics are shown in the Exhibit, which should be used as a guide. Any
uses that exceed the allowable loss may result in degradation in the functions inherent to IC including a decrease in current
capability due to chip temperature increase. Use within the allowable loss.
18. Built-in thermal shutdown protection circuit
Thermal shutdown protection circuit is built-in to prevent thermal breakdown. Turns VTT output to OFF when the thermal
shutdown protection circuit activates. This thermal shutdown protection circuit is originally intended to protect the IC itself.
It is therefore requested to conduct a thermal design not to exceed the temperature under which the thermal shutdown
protection circuit can work.
19. The use in the strong electromagnetic field may sometimes cause malfunction, to which care must be taken.
In the event that load containing a large inductance component is connected to the output terminal, and generation of
back-EMF at the start-up and when output is turned OFF is assumed, it is requested to insert a protection diode.
20. In the event that load containing a large inductance component is
connected to the output terminal, and generation of back-EMF at the
start-up and when output is turned OFF is assumed, it is requested
to insert a protection diode.
21. We are certain that examples of applied circuit diagrams are recommendable,
but you are requested to thoroughly confirm the characteristics before using the IC.
In addition, when the IC is used with the external circuit changed, decide the IC with sufficient margin provided
while consideration is being given not only to static characteristics but also variations of external parts and our IC including
transient characteristics.
