General Description
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.
The voltage output of the regulator can be used as a
termination voltage for DDR SDRAM.
Current limits in both sourcing and sinking mode, plus
on-chip thermal shutdown make the circuit tolerant of
the output fault conditions.

Pin Description
Pin name
Pin Description
Input voltage pin which supplies current to the V
OUT
pin. Connect this pin to a well-
decoupled 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.
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 V
IN
should be kept lower or equal to VCNTL.
Reference voltage input and active low shutdown control pin. Two resistors dividing
down the V
IN
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.
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 V
OUT
.
No Connection. Not internal connected.
Connected to GND plance for better heat dissipation.
