The XRP6142 is a synchronous step-down switching controller for over 15Amps point-of-loads converters and optimized to generate and support DDR I, II and III memory voltages requirements.

Optimized to operate from standard 3.3V and 5V rails, the XRP6142 supports conversions down to 0.5V from an input voltage as low as 1V. Based on a constant on-time control scheme and operating at a constant switching frequency over the whole input voltage range, it provides excellent load transient response while requiring no external compensation components and comes in three selectable on-time options(0.5µs, 1µs and 2µs).

The XRP6142 easily generates VDDQ (VDD) or VTT voltages while an on board buffer provides the buffered VTT reference voltage.

The XRP6142 is available in a compact RoHS compliant “green”/halogen free 16-pin QFN package.

Distribution Date Description File
07/17/2023 In 2023, MaxLinear will be converting all shipping labels for the parts noted from an EXAR format to MaxLinear’s label. During this transition customers may receive either label. This change affects only shipping and packing labels. This change will not affect the part number, part marking, manufacturing process or manufacturing sites. Only work in progress material will be converted. Existing inventory from MaxLinear’s warehouse, channel sales, distributor, and such, will not be converted. Hence, customers may experience receiving mixed shipments with both Exar and MaxLinear labels for some period until existing inventory of old labels is eventually cleared out. Situation is product to product with no predictable way to determine when all old labels will be exhausted. No change to product form, fit, function and reliability. ADDENDUM A: Fixed MBB label logo for DX204001 to MaxLinear logo. ADDENDUM B: Replaced ‘All other affected products outer box label’ with clearer pictures. Corrected Date Issued (from original PCN) issue date +90 days to August 30, 2023.
