Introduction
General Product Information
The RT9089A is a sink/source tracking termination regulator. It is specifically designed for low-cost and lowexternal
component count systems. The RT9089A possesses a high speed operating amplifier that provides fast load
transient response and only requires a minimum 10μF ceramic output capacitor. The RT9089A supports remote
sensing functions and all features required to power the DDRI/DDRII/DDRIII and Low Power DDRIII/DDRIV VTT
bus termination according to the JEDEC specification. The RT9089A is available in the thermal efficient package,
WDFN-10L 2x2.

Bench Test Setup Conditions
Headers Description and Placement
Please carefully inspect the EVB IC and external components, comparing them to the following Bill of Materials, to ensure that all components are
installed and undamaged. If any components are missing or damaged during transportation, please contact the distributor or send e-mail to
evb_service@richtek.com
Test Points
The EVB is provided with the test points and pin names listed in the table below.
Test point/
Pin name
Signal
Comment (expected waveforms or voltage levels on test points)
VIN
Input voltage
Power input of the regulator.
VOUT
Output voltage
Power output of the regulator.
VDDQSNS
Reference input
Reference input.
GND
Ground
Analog ground. Connect to negative terminal of the output
capacitor. The exposed pad must be soldered to a large PCB
and connected to GND for maximum power dissipation.
PGND
Power ground
Power ground of the regulator.
SENSE
Voltage sense input
Voltage sense input for the regulator. Connect to positive
terminal of the output capacitor or the load.
REFOUT
Reference output
Reference output. Connect to GND through a 0.1µF ceramic
capacitor.
S3
S3 signal input
S3 signal input.
S5
S5 signal input
S5 signal input.
VCNTL
Power good output test point
Control voltage input. Connect this pin to the 3.3V or 5V power
supply. A ceramic decoupling capacitor with a value 4.7µF is
required.

Power-up & Measurement Procedure
1.
Short J1, J8, the (1, 2) pin of J2 and the (1, 2) pin of J7 by jumper respectively.
2. Provide input voltage (2.9V < VCNTL < 5.5V) to VCNTL pin.
3. Connect input power (1.1V < VIN < 3.5V) and input ground to VIN and GND pins respectively.
4. Connect positive end and negative end of load to VOUT and GND of output pins respectively.
5. The output voltage (VOUT) can be set by the voltage level of VDDQSNS, since VDDQSNS is short with VIN :
VOUT = (VDDQSNS / 2) = (VIN / 2)
