AT9173
Bus Termination Regulator
n
General Description
The AT9173 is a voltage regulator which could
convert the input voltage ranging from 1.8V to 5V to an
output voltage that user settled. The regulator can
provide sourcing or sinking current.The AT9173, used
in conjunction with series termination resistors,
provides an excellent voltage source for active
termination schemes of high speed transmission lines
as those seen in high speed memory buses and
distributed backplane designs.
The voltage output of the regulator can be used as a
termination voltage for DDR SDRAM.
Current limits in both sourcing and sinking mode, plus
on-chip thermal shutdown make the circuit tolerant of
the output fault conditions.
