Typical Application Circuits
Output Capacitor Selection
For applications utilizing the LP2994 to terminate SSTL-2 I/O
signals the typical application circuit shown in Figure 12 can
be implemented.
This circuit permits termination in a minimum amount of
board space and component count. Capacitor selection can
be varied depending on the number of lines terminated and
the maximum load transient. However, with motherboards
and other applications where V
plane it is advisable to use multiple bulk capacitors and
In most PC applications an extensive amount of decoupling
is required because of the long interconnects encountered

addition to high frequency decoupling. Figure 13 shown
below depicts an example circuit where 2 bulk output capaci-
tors could be situated at both ends of the V
optimal placement. Large aluminum electrolytic capacitors
are used for their low ESR and low cost.
