● Support
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.

Pin name

Pin Description
Input voltage pin which supplies current to the V OUT pin. Connect this pin to a welldecoupled voltage to prevent the input rail from dropping during large load transient. A
large and low ESR capacitor is recommended to use that should be placed as close as
possible to the V IN pin.
Ground pin. Tie directly to ground plance.
VCNTL
Voltage control pin which supplies the internal control circuitry and provides the drive
voltage. The driving capability of output current is proportioned to the VCNTL. Connect
this pin to 5V bias supply to handle large output current with at least 1uF capacitor from
this pin to GND. An important note is that VIN should be kept lower or equal to VCNTL.
REFEN
Reference voltage input and active low shutdown control pin. Two resistors dividing
down the VIN voltage on this pin to create the regulatedoutput voltage. Pulling this pin to
GND to turn off the device by an open-drain, such as 2N7002 N-Channel MOSFET.
OUT
Regulator output. V OUT is regulated from REFEN voltage that is used to terminate the
bus resistors. It is capable of sinking and sourcing current while regulating the output
rail. To maintain adequate large signal transient response, typical value of 1000uF
electrolytic capacitor with 10uF ceramic capacitors are recommended to reduce the
effects of current transients on VOUT.
NC*

n Application Circuit
n General Regulator
Typical application circuit is used as a regulator to provide
termination voltage in double data rate (DDR) memory
system. The regulator could source and sink up to 2A peak
current. The output voltage will follow REFEN which
generated by two external dividing resistors down from VIN
or to the desired output voltage set externally by forcing a
voltage level to REFEN pin. To add a shutdown function ,
connect a small transistor to REFEN pin. To perform
shutdown function , put a logic high 5V signal to EN yield a
low (0V) to REFEN pin thus force output voltage to zero
voltage. The capacitor Css is used to softstart the output
voltage since V OUT will follow REFEN.
The AT9173 can be used as a general regulator.
To get a desired output voltage, put a reference
voltage to REFEN pin or dividing resistors down a
input voltage source. To drive inside N-Channel
MOSFET the VCNTL should be larger than VIN to get
enough driving voltage. The minimum dropout
voltage could be IOUT *0.1, where IOUT is the output
current.
Time constant for this circuit is Css*(R1//R2). The Css
could also used as the bypass capacitor to filter out noise in
REFEN pin. So carefully layout should put Css close to
REFEN pin to maintain noise immunity. The C IN an C CNTL is
used as power decoupling capacitor. COUT is composed of
10uF ceramic plus 1000uF electrolyte capacitors. The first
one is to used as high frequency filter and the second one is
used to reduce voltage drop during load regulating.
Place a bypass capacitor as close as possible to
VIN and VCNTL pin is necessary. A low ESR
capacitor is recommended for this bypass
capacitor. Use wide and short PCB traces to
connect in between VIN power source VOUT to
reduce PCB resistance thus to reduce undesired
power dissipation.

n Thermal issue
AT9173 has a internal thermal protection to protect the device at any overload conditions. For safety reason
the operation junction temperature should not exceed 125 ℃. The dissipation of the device is
PD = (V IN − V OUT ) xI OUT
And also the maximum power dissipation is
PD , MAX = (T J , MAX − T A ) / θ JA
Where Tj,max is the maximum operation junction 125 degree C, Ta is the ambient temperature and the is θ JA
the junction to ambient thermal resistance. The junction to ambient thermal resistance is 70 ℃ /W for exposed
pad SOP-8 package. It can be dramatically reduced by placing a large area PCB trace under exposed pad to
emit heat generated by the die attached to the exposed pad.
