The PTHxx010Y 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 VTToutput that will source or sink up to 15 A of current (12 A for 12-V input) to
accurately track their V
voltage for the memory and chipset bus receiver comparators. V
voltage.
Both the PTHxx010Y series employs an actively switched synchronous rectifier output to provide state-of-the-art
stepdown switching conversion. The products are small in size (1.37 in × 0.62 in), and are an ideal choice where
space, performance, and high efficiency are desired, along with the convenience of a ready-to-use module.
Operating features include an on/off inhibit and output over-current protection (source mode only). The on/off
inhibit feature allows the VTTbus to be turned off to save power in a standby mode of operation. To ensure tight
load regulation, an output remote sense is also provided. Package options include both throughhole and surface
mount configurations.

(3) An input capacitor is required for proper operation. The capacitor must be rated for a minimum a minimum of 500 mA rms( 750 mA rms
for 12-V input) of ripple current.
(4) The minimum value of external output capacitance value ensures that VTTmeets the specified transient performance requirements for
the memory bus terminations. Lower values of capacitance may be possible when the measured peak change in output current is
consistently less than 3 A.
(5) This is the calculated maximum. The minimum ESR limitation will often result in a lower value. Consult the application notes for further
guidance.
(6) This is the typcial ESR for all the electrolytic (non-ceramic) output capacitance. Use 7 mΩ as the minimum when using max-ESR values
to calculate.

DESCRIPTION
2The positive input voltage power node to the module, which is referenced to common GND.
This is the common ground connection for the VINand VTTpower connections. It is also the 0-VDC reference
for the control inputs.
The module senses the voltage at this input to regulate the output voltage, VTT. The voltage at V

pin should not exceed 500 Ω. See the Typical DDR Application Diagram in the Application Information
REF
section for reference.
This is the regulated power output from the module with respect to the GND node, and the tracking
termination supply for the application data and address buses. It is precisely regulated to the voltage applied

to the module's V
module. Once active it will track the voltage applied at V
The sense input allows the regulation circuit to compensate for voltage drop between the module and the
load. For optimal voltage accuracy VoSense should be connected to VTT.
The Inhibit pin is an open-collector/drain negative logic input that is referenced to GND. Applying a low-level
ground signal to this input turns off the output voltage, VTT. Although the module is inhibited, a voltage, V
will be present at the output terminals, fed through the DDR memory. When the Inhibit is active, the input
current drawn by the regulator is significantly reduced. If the Inhibit pin is left open circuit, the module will
produce an output whenever a valid input source is applied. See the Typical DDR Application Diagram in the
Application Information section for reference.

(1) The electrical characteristic data has been developed from actual products tested at 25°C. This data is considered typical for the
converter. Applies to Figure 1, Figure 2, and Figure 3.
(2) The temperature derating curves represent the conditions at which internal components are at or below the manufacturer's maximum
operating temperatures. Derating limits apply to modules soldered directly to a 4 in x 4 in double-sided PCB with 1 oz. copper. For
surface mount packages (AS and AZ suffix), multiple vias (plated through holes) are required to add thermal paths around the power
pins. Please refer to the mechanical specification for more information. Applies to Figure 4, and Figure 5.
