General Description
The G2996 is a linear regulator designed to meet the
JEDEC SSTL-2 and SSTL-3 (Series Stub Termination
Logic) specifications for termination of DDR-SDRAM.
It contains a high-speed operational amplifier that pro-
vides excellent response to the load transients. This
device can deliver 1.5A continuous current and tran-
sient peaks up to 3A in the application as required for
DDR-SDRAM termination. With an independent V
SENSE
pin, the G2996 can provide superior load regulation.
The G2996 provides a V
REF
output as the reference for
the applications of the chipset and DIMMs.
The G2996 can easily provide the accurate V
TT
and
V
REF
voltages without external resistors that PCB ar-
eas can be reduced. The quiescent current is as low
as 230碌A(chǔ) @ 2.5V. So the power consumption can
meet the low power consumption applications.
The G2996 also has an active low shutdown ( SD ) pin
that provides Suspend To RAM (STR) functionality.
When SD is pulled low, the V
TT
output will be
tri-state providing a high impendence, but V
REF
will
remain active. A power saving advantage can be ob-
tained in this mode through lowering the quiescent
current to130碌A(chǔ) @ 2.5V.
