AIC AIC1384

AIC1384
DDR Termination Regulator
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The AIC1384 linear regulator is designed to
deliver 1.5A continuous current and up to 3A
peak transient currents for termination of DDRSRAM. The AIC1384 contains a high-speed
operational amplifier to supply superior load
transient response. It also includes a VSENSE to
provide excellent load regulation and VREF
output as a reference for the chipset and
DIMMs. The AIC1384 supply accurate VTT and
VREF without external resistors that save PCB
areas.
Source and Sink Current Capability
Suspend To RAM Functionality
Support DDRⅠ (1.25VTT) and DDRⅡ (0.9VTT)
Requirements
Low Output Voltage Offset, ±20mV
High Accuracy Output Voltage at Full-Load
Low External Component Count
No external resistor required
Current Limit protection
Thermal Protection
The AIC1384 also features an active low
shutdown pin that provides Suspend To RAM
(STR) functionality. The VTT will remain high
impedance when in shutdown, but VREF will
keep active. The advantage of power saving
can be obtained through low 150µA (DDRⅠ)
quiescent current.

APPLICATIONS
Mother board
Graphic cards
DDRⅠ and DDRⅡ termination voltage
Built in current limiting in source and sink mode,
with thermal shutdown provide maximal
protection to the AIC1384 against fault
conditions.

VDDQ is used to make internal reference voltage

precisely because of internal resistor divider. For
SSTL-2 application, connect VDDQ to the 2.5V

PVIN to achieve that reference voltage tracks the
DDR memory rails accurately without a voltage

VTT is the regulated output that is used to

ability of sinking and sourcing current while
regulating the output accurately to VDDQ/2. The
AIC1384 is designed to deliver up to ±3A peak

currents

excellent
transient
response. The output capacitor should be large
enough to prevent an excessive voltage drop if a
transient is expected to last above the maximum
continuous current rating for a significant amount
of time. AIC1384 is able to provide large transient
output currents, yet it can’t handle for long
durations under all conditions that results from
the standard packages are not able to dissipate
the heat of the internal power loss. If large
currents are required for longer durations, ensure
that the maximum junction temperature is not
exceeded.
Capacitor Selection
The input capacitor of AIC1384 is required for

47µF aluminum electrolytic capacitors or ceramic
capacitor is recommended. If AVIN and PVIN are

which is designed to protect the device against

condition,
maximum

of
junction
temperature must not be exceeded. It is
important to pay more attention in thermal
resistance. It includes junction to case, junction
to ambient. The maximum power dissipation of
AIC1384 depends on the thermal resistance of
its case and circuit board, the temperature
difference between the die junction and ambient
air, and the rate of airflow. The thermal
resistance is greatly affected by the package
used, the number of vias, the speed of airflow
and the thickness of copper. When the IC
mounting with good thermal conductivity is used,
the junction temperature will be low even when
large power dissipation applies. So the PCB
mounting pad for GND pin of AIC1384 should
provide maximum thermal conductivity to
maintain low device temperature.
The power dissipation across the device is
P = IOUT (VIN-VOUT).
The maximum power dissipation is:

Another method is to level shift the output below
Cout
the internal reference voltage of VDDQ/2 by using
