General Description
The MIC5163 is a dual regulator controller designed specifically for low voltage memory termination applications such as DDR3 and GDDR3/4/5. The MIC5163 offers a simple, low cost JEDEC compliant solution for terminating high-speed, low-voltage digital buses.
The MIC5163 controls two external N-Channel MOSFETs to form two separate regulators. It operates by switching between either the high-side MOSFET or the low-side MOSFET, depending on whether the current is being sourced to the load or being sinked by the regulator.
