LP2998MAX

Texas Instruments · Battery Management · SOIC-8

LP2998MAX from Texas Instruments, in a SOIC-8. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 GND power_in Device ground return. Also connect the exposed pad (DDA package) to this net; SOIC-8 (MAX) has no exposed pad.
2 SD input Active-low shutdown. When pulled low the VTT output tri-states (Suspend-To-RAM); VREF remains active. Has an internal pull-up current so it can be left open or tied to AVIN to enable. Input range 0 to AVIN.
3 VSENSE input Remote-sense feedback pin for VTT regulation. Connect to VTT at the point of load (middle of the termination bus) for best distributed load regulation; tie directly to VTT at the pin if remote sense is not used. A small 0.1 µF ceramic near the pin helps reject noise pickup.
4 VREF output Buffered VDDQ/2 reference output for chipset/DIMM Vref inputs. Nominally 1.258 V (DDR-I, VDDQ=2.5 V), 0.910 V (DDR-II, 1.8 V) or 0.758 V (DDR-III, 1.5 V). Output impedance ~2.5 kΩ over ±30 µA; remains active during shutdown / thermal shutdown. Bypass with 0.01-0.1 µF ceramic near the pin.
5 VDDQ input Sense input for generating the internal VDDQ/2 reference via two internal 50 kΩ resistors (100 kΩ to GND total, always drawing current even in shutdown). Best used as a remote sense tied to the DDR VDDQ rail at the DIMM. Absolute max 6 V, and must be ≤ 2×(AVIN−1) V.
6 AVIN power_in Analog supply for the internal control circuitry. Recommended operating range 2.2 V to 5.5 V (absolute max 6 V). AVIN must be ≥ PVIN.
7 PVIN power_in Power input to the VTT output stage. Range 0 V to AVIN; recommended ≤ 3.3 V to keep internal dissipation within the thermal limit. Higher PVIN increases maximum continuous output current by lowering RDSON headroom above VTT.
8 VTT power_out Regulated DDR termination output at VDDQ/2. Sources and sinks up to ±1.5 A continuous with peak transients to ±3 A; tri-stated during SD-asserted shutdown and thermal shutdown. Requires a bulk output capacitor sized for expected transient step; VTT must not be pulled above AVIN while in shutdown.
