3 Description
The LP2996A linear regulator is designed to meet the
JEDEC SSTL-2 specifications for termination of DDR-
SDRAM. The device also supports DDR2, DDR3 and
DDR3L VTT bus termination with VDDQ min of 1.35V.
The device contains a high-speed operational
amplifier to provide excellent response to load
transients. The output stage prevents shoot through
while delivering 1.5A continuous current and transient
peaks up to 3A in the application as required for
DDR-SDRAM termination. The LP2996A also
incorporates a VSENSE pin to provide superior load
regulation and a VREF output as a reference for the
chipset and DIMMs.
An additional feature found on the LP2996A is an
active low shutdown (SD) pin that provides Suspend
To RAM (STR) functionality. 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.
