Features
General Description ( Cont.)
On-chip thermal shutdown provides protection against
any combination of overload that would create ex-
cessive junction temperature. The output voltage of
APL5331 track the voltage at VREF pin. A resistor
divider connected to VIN, GND and VREF pins is
used to provide a half voltage of VIN to VREF pin. In
addition, an external ceramic capacitor and an open-
drain transistor connected to VREF pin provides soft-
start and shutdown control respectively. Pulling and
holding the VREF to GND shuts off the output. The
output of APL5331 will be high impedance after be-
ing shut down by VREF or thermal shutdown function.

General Description
The APL5331 linear regulator is designed to provide
a regulated voltage with bi-directional output current
for DDR-SDRAM termination. The APL5331 integrates
two power transistors to source or sink current up to
3A. It also incorporate current-limit, thermal shut-
down and shutdown control functions into a single
chip. Current-limit circuit limits the short-circuit
current.
