MaxLinear, Inc. Special Purpose Regulators SP2996BEN-L

The SP2996BEN-L is a voltage regulator designed to convert input voltage supplies ranging from 1.6V to 6V into a desired output voltage, which can be adjusted using an external resistor divider. It is capable of sourcing or sinking up to 2A of continuous current while maintaining an output voltage regulation within ¬±20mV. This regulator is particularly suitable for applications involving high-speed memory buses and distributed backplane designs, as it meets the JEDEC SSTL-2 and SSTL-3 specifications for DDR memory termination. Key features include low output voltage offset, thermal and current limit protection, and integrated power MOSFETs. The device operates over a temperature range of -40¬8C to +85¬8C and is housed in an 8-pin NSOIC package. The SP2996BEN-L is designed for minimal external component requirements, making it a practical choice for engineers looking for a reliable voltage regulation solution in their projects.
