6.3.3 Reference Output (REFOUT Pin)

When it is configured for DDR termination applications, REFOUT generates the DDR VTT reference voltage for the memory application. It is capable of supporting both a sourcing and sinking load of 10mA. REFOUT becomes active when REFIN voltage rises to 0.390V and VIN is above the UVLO threshold. When REFOUT is less than 0.375V, it is disabled and subsequently discharges to GND through an internal 10kΩ MOSFET. REFOUT is independent of the EN pin state.
