FEATURES
For high performance termination of
DDR computer memory busses
Compatible to JEDEC JESD 79 and 8-9 DDR
specifi cations
Ideal for active wideband termination of
SSTL-2 logic
Non-isolated design with 1.25V typ. @
±9 Amps output
3-5.5V input with 85% (typ.) effi ciency
Miniature industry standard 1.6 x 0.5 x 0.2
inch surface mount or SIP package
Offers unique source/sink DDR requirements
plus automatic reference tracking
Retains controlled impedances and mini-
mizes distortion of DDR digital data
and double-side clocks
Operates over –40 to +65°C with
200 lfm airfl ow
Standard vertical mount, optional
horizontal mount
The DDR terminators are supplied in a 1.6 by
0.5inch surface-mount or SIP package measuring
only 0.2 inches high. Full output power (3.3VIN) is
available up to +65°Celsius with only 200 LFM
(linear feet per minute) of cooling airfl ow. No heat-
sink is required.
Modern SSTL-2 logic uses reduced power volt-
ages (typically 2.5 Volts), high switching currents
and a relatively narrow voltage threshold window
for logic switching. These factors contribute to
the 266MHz data transfer rate. The Vtt termination
voltage output of the DDR operates approximately
at the midpoint voltage of the bus (i.e, about 1.25V)
and therefore will either source or sink current up
to 9 Amps. To maintain a reliable window in the
logic threshold, the design tracks the Vref input
voltage at high bandwidth, operating typically at
one half the bus Vddq voltage of 2.5V. In addition,
the DDR series features a very high current slew
rate of up to 40 Amps per microsecond and fast
settling while switching from source to sink or sink
to source. These features insure no data errors on
the memory bus.
The DDR is supplied either in a vertical SIP
(Single Inline Package) mount or a horizontal
pinned mount. The converter meets UL 60950-1,
CSA and IEC safety certifi cations and both conduct-
ed and radiated EMI (electromagnetic interference)
specifi cations. The output is rated for continuous
short circuit protection and the on-board control-
ler will shut down the converter if the temperature
reaches 110°C or output current exceeds 11 Amps.
The DDR-9-W3H-C is available with RoHS reduc-
tion of hazardous substance compliance.
SIMPLIFIED SCHEMATIC
Designed for efficient termination of SSTL-2 (Series Stub Terminated Logic)
signals in DDR (Dual Data Rate) memories, the DDR series non-isolated
DC/DC converters are powered by the bus supply of 3 to 5.5Volts and
are compatible to industry-standard JEDEC JESD specifications for
DDR memories.
