We manufacture a focused and effective line of DDR termination regulators that feature low output impedance, very-high bandwidth, quick transient response time and high output voltage accuracy. Our DDR termination solutions are ideal choices for achieving accurate and high-speed bus termination.
What Are DDR Termination Regulators?
DDR termination regulators are an essential component to regulate power through DDR transmission lines. DDR termination regulators achieve power conservation by rapidly dropping or increasing current so that the output termination voltage (VTT) would be half of the supply voltage (VDDQ). This results in reduced power dissipation and higher efficiency. Key benefits of these devices include:
- Output current range from 0.75A to 2.6A
- Power good option
- Very accurate VTT as high as ±5 mV
- Available in MSOP-10 and DFN packages
- High-speed bus termination
Why Use DDR Termination Regulators?
DDR termination regulators are necessary to save power while DDR memory is active. Today, DDR is becoming even faster and more effective in transferring data and this makes the systems powering the DDR memory more susceptible to frequent and inaccurate data transfer. A good DDR termination regulator closely tracks supplied voltage and quickly sinks or sources current to maintain a regulated transmission of power. This ultimately leads to a more efficient double-data-rate memory and an indispensable power solution for a variety of mobile and home devices.
