Hi Han In the VTT of DDR, the source and sink current is of high frequency, which is provided by the decoupling capacitor. Hope this is helpful Best Regards Zhangkun 2008.9.10 华为技术有限公司 huawei_logo 地址:深圳市龙岗区坂田华为基地 邮编:518129 http://www.huawei.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------- 本邮件及其附件含有华为公司的保密信息,仅限于发送给上面地址中列出的个人或群 组。禁 止任何其他人以任何形式使用(包括但不限于全部或部分地泄露、复制、或散发)本邮 件中 的信息。如果您错收了本邮件,请您立即电话或邮件通知发件人并删除本邮件!

Many of these are LDO, some are DC-DC(such as Linear's LTC3776). I wondered how does current flow into a DC-DC when in sink mode. (It seems relatively easier to analyze when an IC is a LDO, but swithing an one). What is the sink-current path inside an IC. Does it have an inside load which porvides a path to ground? Thank you very much. -- Best Regards Li Han ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List technical documents are available at: http://www.si-list.net List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list or at our remote archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/messages Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List technical documents are available at: http://www.si-list.net List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list or at our remote archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/messages Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu
