RT9088A
DDR Termination Regulator
General Description
Features
The RT9088A is a sink/source tracking termination
regulator. It is specifically designed for low-cost and lowexternal component count systems. The RT9088A
possesses a high speed operating amplifier that provides
fast load transient response and only requires a minimum
30μF ceramic output capacitor. The RT9088A supports
remote sensing functions and all features required to power
the DDRIII and Low Power DDRIII / DDRIV VTT bus
termination according to the JEDEC specification. In
addition, the RT9088A provides an open-drain PGOOD
signal to monitor the output regulation and an EN signal
that can be used to discharge VTT during S3 (suspend to
RAM) for DDR applications.

Operation
The RT9088A is a linear sink/source DDR termination
regulator with current capability up to 3A. The RT9088A
builds in a high-side N-MOSFET which provides current
sourcing and a low-side N-MOSFET which provides current
sinking. All the control circuits are supplied by the power
VCNTL. In normal operation, the error amplifier OP adjusts
the gate driving voltage of the power MOSFET to achieve
SENSE voltage well tracking the REFIN voltage.
Both the source and sink currents are detected by the
internal sensing resistor, and the OCP function will work
to limit the current to a designed value when overload
happens. Furthermore, the current will be folded back to
be one half if VOUT is out of the power good window.
Buffer
This function provides REFOUT output equal to REFIN
with 10mA source/sink current capability.

DS9088A-03 August 2015
Power Good
When the SENSE voltage is in the power good window
and lasts for a certain delay time, then the PGOOD pin
will be high impedance and the PGOOD voltage will be
pulled high by the external resistor.
Control Logic
This block includes VCNTL UVLO, REFIN UVLO and
Enable/Disable functions, and provides logic control to
the whole chip.
Thermal Protection
Both the high-side and low-side power MOSFETs will be
turned off when the junction temperature is higher than
typically 160°C, and be released to normal operation when
junction temperature falls below 120°C typically.

Application Information
Capacitor Selection
Good bypassing is recommended from VLDOIN to GND
to help improve AC performance. A 10μF or greater input
capacitor located as close as possible to the IC is
recommended. The input capacitor must be located at a
distance of less than 0.5 inches from the VLDOIN pin of
the IC.
Adding a 1μF ceramic capacitor close to the VIN pin and
it should be kept away from any parasitic impedance from
the supply power. For stable operation, the total
capacitance of the ceramic capacitor at the VTT output
terminal must be larger than 30μF. The RT9088A is
designed specifically to work with low ESR ceramic output
capacitor in space saving and performance consideration.
Larger output capacitance can reduce the noise and
improve load transient response, stability and PSRR. The
output capacitor should be located near the VTT output
terminal pin as close as possible.
WDFN-10L 3x3 package, the thermal resistance, θJA, is
30.5°C/W on a standard JEDEC 51-7 four-layer thermal
test board. The maximum power dissipation at TA = 25°C
can be calculated by the following formula :
PD(MAX) = (125°C − 25°C) / (30.5°C/W) = 3.27W for
WDFN-10L 3x3 package
The maximum power dissipation depends on the operating
ambient temperature for fixed T J(MAX) and thermal
resistance, θJA. The derating curve in Figure 1 allows the
designer to see the effect of rising ambient temperature
on the maximum power dissipation.
3.5
Maximum Power Dissipation (W)1
The RT9088A is a 3.5A sink/source tracking termination
regulator. It is specifically designed for low-cost and lowexternal component count system such as notebook PC
applications. The RT9088A possesses a high speed
operating amplifier that provides fast load transient response
and only requires two 10μF ceramic input capacitors and
three 10μF ceramic output capacitors.

Thermal Considerations
For continuous operation, do not exceed absolute
maximum junction temperature. The maximum power
dissipation depends on the thermal resistance of the IC
package, PCB layout, rate of surrounding airflow, and
difference between junction and ambient temperature. The
maximum power dissipation can be calculated by the
following formula :
PD(MAX) = (TJ(MAX) − TA) / θJA
where TJ(MAX) is the maximum junction temperature, TA is
the ambient temperature, and θJA is the junction to ambient
thermal resistance.
For recommended operating condition specifications, the
maximum junction temperature is 125°C. The junction to
ambient thermal resistance, θJA, is layout dependent. For
