PRODUCTION DATA
TPS51216-EP integrates two high performance, low-dropout linear regulators, VTT and VTTREF, to provide complete DDR2/DDR3/DDR3L power solutions. The VTTREF has a 10-mA sink/source current capability, and tracks ½ of VDDQSNS with ±1% accuracy using an on-chip ½ divider. A 0.22-μF (or larger) ceramic capacitor must be connected close to the VTTREF terminal for stable operation. The VTT responds quickly to track VTTREF within ±40 mV at all conditions, and the current capability is 2 A for both sink and source. A 10-μF (or larger) ceramic capacitor must be connected close to the VTT terminal for stable operation. To achieve tight regulation with minimum effect of wiring resistance, a remote sensing terminal, VTTSNS, should be connected to the positive node of the VTT output capacitors as a separate trace from the high-current line to the VTT pin. (Refer to Section 11.1 for details.)
When VTT is not required in the design, the following treatments are strongly recommended.
