MIC5163 Dual Regulator Controller for DDR3 GDDR3/4/5 Memory Termination General Description Features The MIC5163 is a dual regulator controller designed 0.75V to 6V input supply voltage specifically for low voltage memory termination Memory termination for: DDR3, GDDR3/4/5 applications such as DDR3 and GDDR3/4/5. The MIC5163 Tracking programmable output offers a simple, low cost JEDEC compliant solution for Logic controlled enable input terminating high-speed, low-voltage digital buses. Wide bandwidth The MIC5163 controls two external N-Channel MOSFETs to form two separate regulators. It operates by switching Minimal external components required between either the high-side MOSFET or the low-side Tiny MSOP-10 package MOSFET, depending on whether the current is being 40C < T < +125C J sourced to the load or being sinked by the regulator. Designed to provide a universal solution for memory Applications termination regardless of input voltage, output voltage, or load current the desired MIC5163 output voltage can be Desktop Computers externally programmed by forcing the reference voltage. Servers The MIC5163 operates from an input voltage as low as Notebook computers 0.75V up to 6V, with a second bias supply input required Workstations for operation. The MIC5163 is available in a tiny MSOP-10 package with an operating junction temperature range of 40C to +125C.
