The AP1270 is a simple, cost-effective and highspeed linear regulator designed to generate termination
voltage in double data rate (DDR) memory system to
comply with the JEDEC SSTL_2 and SSTL_18 or other
specific interfaces such as HSTL, SCSI-2 and SCSI-3
etc. devices requirements. The regulator is capable of
actively sinking or sourcing up to 3A while regulating an
output voltage to within 40mV. The output termination
voltage cab be tightly regulated to track 1/2V DDQ by two
external voltage divider resistors or the desired output
voltage can be pro-grammed by externally forcing the
REFEN pin voltage.
The AP1270 also incorporates a high-speed
differential amplifier to provide ultra-fast response in
line/load transient. Other features include extremely low
initial offset voltage, excellent load regulation, current
limiting in bi-directions and on-chip thermal shut-down
protection.
The AP1270 are available in the TO-252-5L &
ESOP-8 (Exposed Pad) surface mount packages.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Input Capacitor and Layout Consideration
Place the input bypass capacitor as close as possible to the AP1270. A low ESR capacitor
larger than 470uF is recommended for the input capacitor. Use short and wide traces to minimize
parasitic resistance and inductance.
Inappropriate layout may result in large parasitic inductance and cause undesired oscillation
between AP1270 and the preceding powe converter.

Consideration while designs the resistance of voltage divider
Make sure the sinking current capability of pull-down NMOS if the lower resistance was
chosen so that the voltage on VREFEN is below 0.2V. In addition, the capacitor and voltage divider
form the lowpass filter. There are two reasons doing this design; one is for output voltage soft-start
while another is for noise immunity.
Thermal Consideration
AP1270MP regulators have internal thermal limiting circuitry designed to protect the device
during overload conditions.For continued operation, do not exceed maximum operation junction
temperature 125 oC. The power dissipation definition in device is:
P D = (VIN - VOUT) x IOUT + VIN x IQ
The maximum power dissipation depends on the thermal resistance of IC package, PCB
layout, the rate of surroundings airflow and temperature difference between junction to ambient.
The maximum power dissipation can be calculated by following formula:
P D(MAX) = ( TJ(MAX) -TA ) / Rthja
Where T J(MAX) is the maximum operation junction temperature 125 oC, TA is the ambient
temperature and the R thja is the junction to ambient thermal resistance. The junction to ambient
o
thermal resistance (Rthja is layout dependent) for ESOP-8 package (Exposed Pad) is 75 C/W on
standard JEDEC 51-7 (4 layers, 2S2P) thermal test board. The maximum power dissipation at T A =
o
25 C can be calculated by following formula:
P D(MAX) = (125oC - 25oC) / 75oC/W = 1.33W
The thermal resistance R thja of ESOP-8 (Exposed Pad) is determined by the package design
and the PCB design. However, the package design has been decided. If possible, it's useful to
increase thermal performance by the PCB design. The thermal resistance can be decreased by
adding copper under the expose pad of ESOP-8 package. We have to consider the copper couldn't
stretch infinitely and avoid the tin overflow.
