Using the TPS51206EVM-745, 2-A Peak Sink/Source DDR
Termination Regulator With VTTREF Buffered Reference
for DDR2, DDR3, DDR3L, and DDR4
The TPS51206EVM-745 evaluation module (EVM) uses the TPS51206. The TPS51206 is a sink/source
double data rate (DDR) termination regulator with VTTREF buffered reference output. It is specifically
designed for low-input voltage, low cost, low external component count systems where space is a key
consideration.
