Product Description
The CM3196 is a sinking and sourcing regulator specif-
ically designed for DDR-I, -II V
TT
bus termination. The
output voltage accurately tracks V
DDQ
/2. For DDR-I it
can source and sink current up to 2A with a load regu-
lation of 0.5%. This current adequately serves both sin-
gle and dual channel DDR-I memory systems. For
power conscious notebook applications, the CM3196
also operates from a V
DDQ
of 1.5V or 1.8V with less
current drive. For DDR-II applications, the CM3196
provides up to 0.6A at 0.9V to drive the memory con-
troller V
TT.
For boards which support Suspend to RAM (STR)
functionality, the CM3196 provides a Shutdown (SD)
pin. When SD is set low, V
TT
will be in tri-state mode,
causing the output to go high impedance. In this mode,
CM3196 power is saved by significantly reducing the
quiescent current. V
REF
voltage remains V
DDQ
/2.
The CM3196 provides overcurrent and over tempera-
ture protection. These features protect the chip from
excessive heating due to high current and high temper-
ature.
The CM3196 is housed in an 8-pin SOIC or PSOP
package and is available with optional lead-free finish-
ing.
