SC1116
Linear FET Controller
For DDR Supplies
Features
Revision: March 28, 2007
Description
The SC1116 is a low cost controller for low power
linear DDR power supplies.
The SC1116 comes in a space saving SOT-23 6 pin
package.
The SC1116 provides a dual gate drive for the top serial
and bottom parallel MOSFETs with internal shoot through
protection.
The wide range of input voltages (3V to 15V) allows the
chip to work in many various applications.
The variable output voltage is programmable from the
outside with an input divider or an external reference.
Wide range of VDDQ, down to 0.5V

Absolute Maximum Rating
Exceeding the specifications below may result in permanent damage to the device, or device malfunction. Operation outside of the parameters specified
in the Electrical Characteristics section is not implied.
Unless otherwise specified, VCC = 5V, 0.5V VDDQ 2.5V, R1 = R2 = 1k +/- 0.1%.
Specifications with standard typeface are for TJ = 25°C, and limits in boldface type apply over the full operating temperature range
(TA = -40°C to +85°C).
Note:
(1) For Load Regulation testing use a low duty cycle current pulse, when measuring VTT.

SC1116
Application Information
Overview
The SC1116 linear controller is designed to meet the
JEDEC specifications for termination of DDR-SDRAM.
Double Data Rate (DDR) memory is clocked at the same
speed as older SDRAM (synchronous dynamic random
access memory), yet handles twice the amount of data
by using the rising and falling edge of the clock signal for
data transfers. Another difference is that DDR memory
requires 2.5V instead of 3.3V used by standard SDRAM.
The other feature that separates DDR memory from a
conventional type is employment of the VTT – termination
voltage. Main requirements for the VTT are that it must
track variations of VDDQ and be able to supply (source)
current, and absorb (sink) current.
The SC1116 controller offers a low cost solution for DDR
termination voltage regulation by using external pass el-
ements (MOSFETs). Having the flexibility of choosing the
MOSFETs allows for optimization on the basis of cost/
size/performance of the specific application.
Test Circuit & Waveforms
The test circuit is shown below in Figure 1.
Note that VREF voltage is supplied externally to eliminate
inaccuracy caused by resistor divider.
