Introduction

The LTC3413 is a monolithic synchronous, step-down switching regulator that is capable of generating a bus termination voltage for DDR/DDR2 memory applications. While sourcing and sinking up to 3A of current, the LTC3413 allows switching frequencies as high as 2MHz. Increasing the switching frequency makes compact solutions ...
