Typical Application Circuit
Description
The SC1110 is a low-cost, full featured, synchronous
voltage-mode controller designed to generate
termination voltage in double data rate (DDR) memory
systems and other applications where wide data bus
need to be actively terminated. Synchronous control of
the MOSFET half bridge allows power flowing
bi-directionally. The termination voltage can be tightly
regulated to track the chipset voltage, i.e. to be exactly
50% of that at all times.
The SC1110 is ideal for low cost implementation of
termination voltage supplies. SC1110 features include
temperature compensated voltage reference, triangle
wave oscillator and current sense comparator circuitry,
and allows the use of inexpensive N-channel power
MOSFETs.
The SC1110 operates at a fixed 250kHz, providing an
optimum compromise between efficiency, transient
performance, external component size, and cost.
