The PTHxx050Y are a series of ready-to-use switching regulator modules from Texas Instruments designed specifically for bus termination in DDR and QDR memory applications. Operating from either a 3.3-V, 5-V or 12-V input, the modules generate a VTT output that will source or sink up to 6 A of current (8 A transient) to accurately track their VREF input. VTT is the required bus termination supply voltage, and VREF is the reference voltage for the memory and chipset bus receiver comparators. VREF is usually set to half the VDDQ power supply voltage.Both the PTHxx050Y series employs an actively switched synchronous rectifier output to provide state-of-the-art step-down switching conversion. The products are small in size (0.
