RT9040
DDR Termination Regulator
General Description
The RT9040 is a sink/source tracking termination regulator.
It is specifically designed for low-cost and low-external
component count systems. The RT9040 possesses a high
speed operating amplifier that provides fast load transient
response and only requires a minimum 20μF of ceramic
output capacitance. The RT9040 supports remote sensing
functions and all features required to power the DDRI /
DDRII / DDRIII and Low Power DDRIII VTT bus termination
according to the JEDEC specification. In addition, the
RT9040 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 .
The RT9040 is available in the thermal efficient WDFN-
10L 3x3 package.

Pin Function
Reference Input.
Supply Voltage for the LDO.
Power Output for the LDO.
Power Ground Output for the LDO.
Voltage Sense Output for the LDO. Connect to positive terminal of the output
capacitor or the load.
Reference Output. Connect to GND through 0.1uF ceramic capacitor.
Chip Enable. For DDR VTT application, connect EN to SLP_S3. For any other
application(s), use EN as the ON/OFF function.
Signal Ground. Connect to negative terminal of the output capacitor. The exposed
pad must be soldered to a large PCB and connected to GND for maximum power
dissipation.
PGOOD Output. Indicates regulation. Connect to an internal open drain
N-MOSFET.
2.5V, 3.3V or 5V power supply. A ceramic decoupling capacitor with a value
between 1F and 4.7F is required.

Note 1.
Stresses beyond those listed
“Absolute
Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are
stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in
the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions may
affect device reliability.
Note 2.
θ
JA
is measured at T
A
= 25°C on a high effective thermal conductivity four-layer test board per JEDEC 51-7.
θ
JC
is
measured at the exposed pad of the package.
Note 3.
Devices are ESD sensitive. Handling precaution is recommended.
Note 4.
The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating conditions.
