Introduction

Today’s complicated computing and communication systems demand high system memory bandwidths. The emerging standard is double data rate (DDR) memory because of its higher data rate and relatively low cost. A typical DDR memory system needs at least two main power supplies: VDD for the I/O power and VTT for the termination power. To ensure good signal quality ...
