Serial Interface
I2C interface provides access to configuration registers.
Type-3 and 6 layers PCB technology are used for BD71837MWV ROHM’s EVM.
The following general stack-up is strongly recommended to be applied to all the routings on the PCB.
Surface plane layers are recommended to apply 1.9 Mils thick copper.
Internal plane layers are recommended to apply 1.2 Mils thick copper.
It is recommended I2C signals to have the reference versus solid planes over the length of their routing and not to
cross plane splits. Ground should be the ideal reference.
The extra area in each layers should be filled with as much ground or other power rails as possible.
There should not be any large free areas with no metal for each layer because of the improvement for heat
dissipation. Large metal area also reduces stray resistance and inductance.
4.4. 6-layer Board Stack-up
BD71837MWV ROHM’s EVM uses Type 3 PCB technology and Figure 4.3 shows the 6-layer PCB stack-up.
This section explains proper via-drill, pad, and anti-pad size.
Note:
Improper drill, pad, and anti-pad size may cause some troubles on the PCB cost, reliability, manufacturability, and electrical
characteristics.
Type-3 PCB technology employs plated through-hole (PTH) vias for breakout routing. The dimension of PTH vias may vary as
necessary. Table 2.1 shows the recommended via dimension used for the breakout areas of BD71837MWV. Figure 4.4 shows the
image of PTH vias.
Figure 4.5 The clearance between PTH and the exposed pad
4.6. Placement of PTHs underneath the exposed pad
When the distance between the edge of metal mask of the exposed pad and PTH is close, the solder may get on the resist then the
PTH and exposed pad of BD71837MWV will be shorted. To avoid the soldering issue, it is highly recommended to keep the positons
of PTHs away from the edge of the exposed pad by 500μm or more, and PTHs should be placed not to disrupt the current flows
between each GND of the output capacitors and the exposed pad.
Note
The spaces for the current flows between GNDs of each output capacitor and exposed pad for PMIC PGND should be ensured. So it
is recommended that the numbers of PTHs disturbing the current flows should be secured.
For understanding the outline of ROHM’s reference layout, the layout data for Layer 1(Top Layer) to 6 (Bottom layer) are shown in
Figure 4.6 to Figure 4.11.
The layout is designed, supposing the position of the SoC as Figure 4.6.
(1st pin of SoC is positioned at lower right.)
Layer 2 is used as power GND.
It’s better to secure the wide plane for large switching currents.
The parasitic impedance between PGND and each capacitor should be as low as possible.
BD71837MWV is the PMIC that incorporates single BUCK regulators, LDOs, and the internal load switch.
It is essential to follow the guidelines to ensure the stable power delivery to the SoC and the system.
5.1. Platform Power Delivery
Figure 5.1 shows the voltages BD71837MWV provides to the SoC and other devices in the system and the information of the
maximum currents for each VR are summarized in Table 5.1.
Table 5.1 The Maximum Design Powers for BUCK convertors, LDOs, and the Load Switch
This section explains the guideline about the layout for voltage regulators. The voltage rails with higher Iomax current especially for
BUCK convertors should be carefully designed not to transmit the unwanted interference caused by switching noises to other signals
with high impedance.
And IR drop caused by large switching currents often influence the violation of the stability for the input level for each buck convertor
so the design for each input should be also taken care. It is highly recommended to follow the all guidelines in this section.
5.2.1. Overall Component Placement
Figure 5.2 shows the overall parts placement. The figure shows the positions of the components needed to be put closely to PMIC. It
is strongly recommended that the components controlling the higher currents like input / output capacitors and inductors are placed in
priority to any other components to guarantee the stabilities of each VR.
Figure 5.4 Example of parts placement and routings for BUCK2 at the top layer
Figure 5.3 BUCK Convertor Large Current Loops
5.2.2. Large Current Loop
There are 2 high-pulsing current flow loops in the BUCK convertor system.
Loop1
When Tr2 turns ON, the loop starts from the input capacitor, to VIN terminal, to LX terminal, to L (inductor), to output capacitors, and
then returns to the input capacitor through GND.Loop2
When Tr1 turns ON, the loop starts from Tr1, to L (inductor), to output capacitors, and then returns to Tr1 through GND.
To reduce the noise and improve efficiency, please minimize the impedance of the each loop.
Figure 5.3 shows the current loops to be designed carefully.
As Figure 5.4 shows, the patterns which handle the heavy currents should be routed as much shortly and widely as possible to
suppress the effect of the parasitic impedance coming from PCB layout, especially the node with drastic shift in current or voltage
level such as VIN (input voltage) and power ground (GND). Two vias with the diameter of 300μm are used for input and GND for each
input capacitor to make the impedance lower.
Power ground for BUCK Converters (exposed pad) is the noisy ground because of the current loops indicated in the previous section.
Thus, the power ground should take an area as large as possible to keep the impedance low and reduce the swing of ground voltage
level.
5.2.4. VSYS (Power supply for BD71837MWV analog circuit)
BUCK X_VIN (X is 1, 2, 3… and 8) of each VR’s input should be connected to VSYS plane directly to minimize the parasitic and
common impedance effects.
The enough numbers of vias for input capacitors should be used and the decoupling capacitors should be placed as close to PMIC as
possible. The reference layout (BD71837MWV reference layout) can be referred to for your reference.
5.2.5. Other Signal Pattern Precautions
Make sure to leave adequate space between noisy lines of voltage rail and serial interface (I2C).
5.2.6. Feedback Sense Lines
Feedback sense lines (e.g., BUCK1_FB, BUCK2_FB etc.) should be routed to monitor the accurate output voltages for each voltage
rail. In order to avoid the effects of IR drop and switching noise, please make sure that the feedback sense lines are independently
routed from the point near output capacitors.
As the method for voltage sensing, “Local sensing” is recommended in all VRs.
In addition, these lines are interfered by noisy lines since these sense lines are high impedance nodes. Please don’t route these
sense lines by overlapping with or in parallel with noisy lines such as LX, SCL and SDA.
Drastic voltage shift in feedback lines result in unexpected voltage violations.
Figure 5.6 Connection between Power GND and Analog GND
5.2.7. AGND layout
AGND is recommended not to be connected to PGND for PMIC (exposed pad) directly to avoid noise effect. It’s better to short AGND
to a GND at inner GND plane (stable GND) through PTH.
The reference layout as above can be referred to.

Note: According to the setting of SD_VSELECT by SoC, the output of MUXSW is determined.

When SD_VSELECT = DVDD, "1.8V mode" is selected and VIN_1P8_2 is used as the input.
BD71837MWV has the crystal oscillator driver for 32.768 kHz for RTC in SoC internally.
The external load capacitors of C49 and C50 shown in the Figure 5.25 are set to 18pF and this value was determined after fine tuning
the specific parameters for the crystal of ST3215SB32768H5HPWAA (Load capacitance is 12.5pF) together with ROHM’s evaluation
board.
So it is ideal to confirm the valid capacitance value supported by the crystal supplier finely since the peripheral environment around
the crystal including the crystal part number itself should be different from the condition in ROHM’s evaluation.

Note: As the crystal oscillator for RTC clock circuit, 32.768 kHz and 12.5pF (KYOCERA) is used together with BD71837MWV
evaluation board.
It is recommended to tune the load capacitance finely in the actual set to guarantee the stable oscillation.
<The recommended part of capacitor is shown below.>
A. ST3215SB32768H5HPWAA, size:3215, Load capacitance: 12.5pF
Crystal oscillator driver circuit is extremely sensitive to external environment like parasitic capacitance due to the long wirings for XIN
and XOUT. So it is recommended to position the Crystal oscillator part near PMIC to shorten the length of the wirings.

Note1: The source for pull up should be BUCK6 to avoid a leakage current. POR_B keeps L level until PMIC_ON_REQ is issued by
SoC and POR_B is de- asserted during the power sequence.
Note2: If the power source for NVCC_GPIO1 in SoC is different from the voltage of DVDD in PMIC, the pull up voltage is set to
NVCC_GPIO1.
Note3: If DVDD is different from the voltage of NVCC_SNVS in SoC, the pull up voltage is set to NVCC_SNVS.
Note4: This signal comes from SoC so the signal voltage level depends on the power source for NVCC_SNVS.
Note5: The voltage level depends on the power source for NVCC_GPIO1 which is the power source for GPIO in SoC.
Connect to the inner GND plane with lower impedance
