Product Description
The CM3205 is a dual-output, low noise linear regula-
tor designed to meet SSTL-2 and SSTL-3 specifica-
tions for DDR-SDRAM V
DDQ
supply and termination
voltage V
TT
supply. With integrated power MOSFET’s,
the CM3205 can source up to 5A of V
DDQ
current, and
source or sink up to 2A V
TT
current. The typical drop-
out voltage for V
DDQ
is 600-mV at 5A load current.
The CM3205 provides fast response to transient load
changes. Load regulation is excellent, less than 1%,
from no load to full load. It also has built-in over-current
limits and thermal shutdown at 170°C.
The CM3205 is packaged in an easy-to-use 5-pin
D
2
PAK (TO263-5) and DPAK (TO252-5). Low thermal
resistance (48°C/W) allows it to withstand 1.7W
(1)
dis-
sipation at 85°C ambient. It can operate over the indus-
trial ambient temperature range of –40°C to 85°C.
