QDR APPLICATIONS
Quad data rate (QDR) applications utilize multiple channels
for improved memory performance. However, this increase in
bus lines increases the current levels required for termination.
The recommended approach in terminating multiple channels
is to use a dedicated LP2998 for each channel. This simplifies
layout and reduces the internal power dissipation for each
regulator. Separate V
bank from the corresponding regulator with the chipset refer-
This circuit permits termination in a minimum amount of board
space and component count. Capacitor selection can be var-
ied depending on the number of lines terminated and the
maximum load transient. However, with motherboards and
other applications where V

In most PC applications, an extensive amount of decoupling
is required because of the long interconnects encountered
with the DDR-SDRAM DIMMs mounted on modules. As a re-
