LTC3831(V2) Datasheet - Linear Technology

DESCRIPTION
   The LTC®3831 is a high power, high efficiency switching regulator controller designed for DDR memory termination. The LTC3831 generates an output voltage equal to 1/2 of an external supply or reference voltage. The LTC3831 uses a synchronous switching architecture with N-channel MOSFETs. Additionally, the chip senses output current through the drain-source resistance of the upper N-channel FET, providing an adjustable current limit without a current sense resistor.
