AP2303
DDR BUS TERMINATION REGULATOR
Description
Pin Assignments
The AP2303 is a low dropout linear regulator to generate termination
voltage of DDR-SDRAM system. The regulator can source or sink up
to 1.75A current continuously. The output voltage is regulated to track
tightly with the reference voltage (1/2VDDQ) within ±10mV.

The AP2303 supports soft start-up when used to turn on the VCNTL
and VREFEN. It integrates a shutdown circuit that will be triggered
once the voltage of VIN, VCNTL or VREFEN falls below a certain
value.
