MAX8794ETB+T

The MAX8794 DDR linear regulator sources and sinks up to 3A peak (typ) using internal n-channel MOSFETs. This linear regulator delivers an accurate 0.5V to 1.5V output from a low-voltage power input (VIN = 1.1V to 3.6V).
The MAX8794 uses a separate 3.3V bias supply to power the control circuitry and drive the internal n-channel MOSFETs.
The MAX8794 provides current and thermal limits to prevent damage to the linear regulator. Additionally, the MAX8794 generates a power-good (PGOOD) signal to indicate that the output is in regulation. During startup, PGOOD remains low until the output is in regulation for 2ms (typ).
The internal soft-start limits the input surge current.
The MAX8794 powers the active-DDR termination bus that requires a tracking input reference.
The MAX8794 can also be used in low-power chipsets and graphics processor cores that require dynamically adjustable output voltages.
The MAX8794 is available in a 10-pin, 3mm x 3mm, TDFN package.
