TPS53317: why the device TPS53317 can be used as DDR terminator,

Part Number: TPS53317

Hi team,

why the device TPS53317 can be used as DDR terminator, How the device achieve sink current ability? Why other buck converter cannot be used here?

Thanks.

  • Hi Frank,

    The buck converter is able to sink current.
    The other buck converter is not a suitable choice for DDR application is because they are lack of the features required by DDR application.
    For example, in TPS53317, VO can follow REFIN. Also, TPS53317 has negative over-current protection.

    thanks
