DESCRIPTION
The LP2997 linear regulator is designed to meet the
JEDEC SSTL-18 specifications for termination of
DDR-II memory. The device contains a high-speed
operational amplifier to provide excellent response to
load transients. The output stage prevents shoot
through while delivering 500mA continuous current and transient peaks up to 900mA in the application as
required for DDR-II SDRAM termination. The LP2997
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 LP2997 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.
