1.5A DDR TERMINATION REGULATOR
AP2301
General Description
Features
·
Support Both DDR I (1.25V ) and DDR II
TT
The AP2301 linear regulator is designed to meet the
JEDEC specification SSTL-2 and SSTL-18 for termi-
nation of DDR-SDRAM. The regulator can sink or
source up to 1.5A current continuously, offers enough
current for most DDR applications. Output voltage is
designed to track the reference voltage within a 2%
tolerance for load regulation while preventing shooting
through on the output stage. On-chip thermal limiting
provides protection against a combination of high cur-
rent and ambient temperature which would create an
excessive junction temperature.

Applications
The AP2301, used in conjunction with series termina-
tion resistors, provides an excellent voltage source for
active termination schemes of high speed transmission
lines as those seen in high speed memory buses and
distributed backplane designs.
