2A SOURCE/SINK TERMINATION REGULATOR
DESCRIPTION
NX1720 is a 2A source and sink Low Dropout Regulator
designed for DDRI and DDRII termination application.
Current limit circuitry in both sink and source side plus
internal thermal shutdown protects the device under short
circuit condition . NX1720 can be disabled by pulling
down the Reference Pin below 0.2V using external small
signal transistor or a MOSFET.
The NX1720 can also be used as an adjustable output
voltage regulator using an external reference.
NX1720 is available in TO-252 package, standard SOIC8
package as well as SOIC8 with exposed pad package.
