DDR BUS TERMINATION REGULATOR
Description
Pin Assignments
NEW PRODUCT
The AP2303 is a low dropout linear regulator to generate termination
voltage of DDR-SDRAM system. The regulator can source or sink up
to 1.75A current continuously. The output voltage is regulated to track
tightly with the reference voltage (1/2VDDQ) within ±10mV.
(Top View)
The AP2303 supports soft start-up when used to turn on the VCNTL
and VREFEN. It integrates a shutdown circuit that will be triggered
once the voltage of VIN, VCNTL or VREFEN falls below a certain
value.

Application Information
1. Input Capacitor
The input capacitor of VIN should be placed to VIN pin as close as possible. Use a low ESR, 10µF or larger MLCC capacitor to provide surge
current during load transient.
NEW PRODUCT
The input capacitor for VCNTL is recommended to be 0.47µF or larger to decouple the supply voltage of AP2303’s control circuitry.
2. Output Capacitor
The output capacitor is recommended with a 10µF or higher MLCC capacitor which will be sufficient at full temperature range. An aluminum
electrolytic capacitor with low ESR also should be larger than 10µF. The output capacitor should be placed to VOUT pin as close as possible.
3. Reference Voltage
A reference voltage is applied to the VREFEN pin by a resistor divider between VIN and GND pins. And a 0.1µF to 1µF bypass capacitor is
preferred to form a low-pass filter to reduce the noise from VIN. More capacitance and large resistance will increase the start-up time after VIN
power-up.
4. Thermal Consideration
There’s an internal thermal protection circuitry of AP2303 to protect device during overload conditions. For continuous operation, make sure not to
exceed the operating junction temperature range of +125°C. The power dissipation definition in device is:
PD=(VIN - VOUT)xIOUT+VINxIQ
The maximum power dissipation depends on the thermal resistance of IC package, PCB layout and the surrounding airflow. The maximum power
dissipation can also be calculated as:
PD(MAX) = (TJ(MAX)-TA)/θJA
The maximum power dissipation for PSOP-8 package at TA = +25°C can be calculated as:
PD(MAX) = (125°C-25°C) / (80°C/W) = 1.25W
