RT9089A
Operation
The RT9089A is a linear sink/source DDR termination
regulator with current capability up to 2A. The RT9089A
builds in a high-side N-MOSFET which provides current
sourcing and a low-side N-MOSFET which provides current
sinking. All the control circuits are supplied by the power
VCNTL. In normal operation, the error amplifier OP adjusts
the gate driving voltage of the power MOSFET to achieve
SENSE voltage well tracking the VDDQSNS/2 voltage.
Thermal Protection
Both the high-side and low-side power MOSFETs will be
turned off when the junction temperature is higher than
typically 160°C, and be released to normal operation when
junction temperature falls below 120°C typically.
Power State Control
The input pins S3 and S5 of RT9089A, provide simple
control of the power state. Table 1 describes S3/S5
terminal logic state and corresponding state of REFOUT/
VOUT outputs. VOUT is turn-off and discharged to GND
in state S3. When both S5 and S3 pins are LOW, the
power state is set to S4/S5. In S4/S5 state, all the outputs
are turn-off and discharged to GND.
Both the source and sink currents are detected by the
internal sensing resistor, and the OCP function will work
to limit the current to a designed value when overload
happens. Furthermore, the current will be folded back to
be one half if VOUT is out of the power good window.
Buffer
This function provides REFOUT output level which is equal
to VDDQSNS/2 with 10mA source/sink current capability.
Control Logic
This block includes VCNTL UVLO, VDDQSNS UVLO and
Enable/Disable functions, and provides logic control to
the whole chip.

Application Information
Capacitor Selection
Good bypassing is recommended from VIN to GND to help
improve AC performance. A 10μF or greater input capacitor
placed as close as possible to the IC is recommended.
The input capacitor must be located at a distance of less
than 0.5 inches from the VIN pin of the IC.
The 1μF ceramic capacitor added close to the VCNTL pin
should be kept away from any parasitic impedance from
the supply power. For stable operation, the total
capacitance of the ceramic capacitor at the VOUT output
terminal must be larger than 10μF. The RT9089A is
designed specifically to work with low ESR ceramic output
capacitor in space saving and performance consideration.
Larger output capacitance can reduce the noise and
improve load transient response, stability and PSRR. The
output capacitor should be located near the VOUT output
terminal pin as close as possible.
80°C/W on a standard JEDEC 51-7 four-layer thermal test
board. The maximum power dissipation at TA = 25°C can
be calculated by the following formula :
P D(MAX) = (125°C − 25°C) / (80°C/W) = 1.25W for
WDFN-10L 2x2 package
The maximum power dissipation depends on the operating
ambient temperature for fixed T J(MAX) and thermal
resistance, θJA. The derating curve in Figure 1 allows the
designer to see the effect of rising ambient temperature
on the maximum power dissipation.

Maximum Power Dissipation (W)1
The RT9089A is a 2A sink/source tracking termination
regulator. It is specifically designed for low-cost and lowexternal component count system such as notebook PC
applications. The RT9089A possesses a high speed
operating amplifier that provides fast load transient response
and only requires two 10μF ceramic input capacitor and a

Thermal Considerations
For continuous operation, do not exceed absolute
maximum junction temperature. The maximum power
dissipation depends on the thermal resistance of the IC
package, PCB layout, rate of surrounding airflow, and
difference between junction and ambient temperature. The
maximum power dissipation can be calculated by the
following formula :
PD(MAX) = (TJ(MAX) − TA) / θJA
where TJ(MAX) is the maximum junction temperature, TA is
the ambient temperature, and θJA is the junction to ambient
thermal resistance.
For recommended operating condition specifications, the
maximum junction temperature is 125°C. The junction to
ambient thermal resistance, θJA, is layout dependent. For
WDFN-10L 2x2 package, the thermal resistance, θJA, is
