EUP7996
1.5A DDR Termination Regulator
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The EUP7996 is a high performance linear regulator
designed to provide power for termination of a DDR
memory bus. It significantly reduces parts count, board
space and overall system cost over previous switching
solutions.
Extremely low quiescent current (305uA)
Fast transient response time
Capable of sourcing and sinking 1.5A for DDR-I
termination
Reference out for other memory and control
components
The EUP7996 contains a high-speed operational amplifier
to provide excellent response to load transients. The
EUP7996 also incorporates a VSENSE pin to provide
superior load regulation and a VREF output as a reference
for chipset and DIMMs.
Low-current shutdown mode
Over-temperature protection
High accuracy output voltage at full-load
Low external component count
An additional feature found on the EUP7996 is an active
low shutdown (SD) pin. When SD is pulled low the VTT
output will Tri-state providing a high impedance output,
but, VREF will remain active. A power savings advantage
can be obtained in this mode through lower quiescent
current.
Available in SOP-8, SOP(FD) package
RoHS compliant and 100% lead (Pb)-free
APPLICATIONS
DDR-I and DDR-II termination voltage
The EUP7996, used in conjunction with series
termination resistors, provides an excellent voltage source
for active termination schemes of high speed transmission
lines as those seen in high speed memory buses. A typical
DDR memory system is seen in Figure 1.
