Product details
Overview
IR38062 from Infineon Technologies is a 15 A synchronous buck DC-DC regulator with integrated MOSFETs, PMBus/I²C interface, and internal LDO enabling single 21 V input operation. It delivers 0.5–0.875×PVIN output voltage with ±0.5% reference accuracy, supports up to 1.5 MHz switching frequency, and operates across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature for high-current point-of-load power delivery in server and telecom systems.
For engineers reviewing the IR38062 datasheet, IR38062 pinout, IR38062 application, or IR38062 equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual-mode (analog/digital) configuration capability, true differential remote sensing, thermally compensated overcurrent protection, dedicated output voltage sensing during disable, and 5 mm × 7 mm PQFN package with validated thermal resistance (θJ-PCB = 2.05°C/W).
Technical Context
The IR38062 integrates a PWM controller, high-side (2.7–5.6 mΩ) and low-side (1.11–2.05 mΩ) MOSFETs, bootstrap diode, and LDO to support single-supply 5.5–21 V operation. Its block diagram confirms independent analog control loop (FB/COMP/RT/SYNC) coexisting with digital PMBus command set (66 commands) for telemetry, sequencing, and fault management.
It implements programmable soft-start with pre-bias startup, selectable FCCM/DCM mode via EN/FCCM pin, and dedicated OVP/PGood monitoring on Vsns - all active even when EN is low. The remote sense amplifier (RS+/RS−) provides true differential feedback, and SALERT doubles as analog temperature monitor (TMON) in non-PMBus use cases.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 15 A continuous - enables single-chip solution for high-current CPU/GPU core rails without external MOSFETs. |
| Input Voltage Range | 5.5–21 V - supported by internal LDO, eliminating need for auxiliary bias supply in most systems. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.5 V to 0.875×PVIN - supports dynamic scaling for modern low-voltage processors and FPGAs. |
| Reference Accuracy | ±0.5% (0°C–85°C), ±1.0% (–40°C–125°C) - ensures tight regulation under thermal stress for mission-critical loads. |
| Switching Frequency | 225–1650 kHz - adjustable via RT resistor or external SYNC signal, enabling EMI optimization and inductor size reduction. |
| PMBus Commands | 66 standardized commands - enables full runtime configuration, telemetry (VOUT, IOUT, TEMP), fault logging, and sequencing without firmware changes. |
| Thermal Resistance | θJ-PCB = 2.05°C/W - validated PCB-level thermal path supports 15 A operation within 125°C TJ limit on standard 4-layer board. |
Pinout & Package
IR38062 uses a thermally enhanced 5 mm × 7 mm PQFN package with exposed thermal pad (PGND-connected) and 26-pin layout. Pins 23 and 26 are internally shorted but externally isolated per assembly drawing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PVIN | Main power stage input | Connects to bulk input capacitors; requires low-ESL/ESR decoupling directly adjacent to PGND for stable high-di/dt operation. |
| SW | Power switch node | Drives output inductor; must be routed with minimal loop area to reduce EMI and ringing (3.3 nF snubber recommended). |
| FB | Inverting error amplifier input | Directly connects to output or remote sense amplifier; sets regulated voltage via external resistor divider. |
| VSNS | OVP and PGood sense input | Dedicated overvoltage detection path - remains active even when EN is low, ensuring safe shutdown behavior. |
| RT/SYNC | Frequency control / synchronization | Configures switching frequency in analog mode (via resistor); accepts external clock in digital mode for system-wide timing alignment. |
| SALERT/TMON | Alert output / analog temperature monitor | Open-drain SMBus alert; outputs voltage proportional to junction temperature when PMBus disabled - enables analog thermal monitoring. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Power Stage | High-side (2.7 mΩ typ) and low-side (1.11 mΩ typ) MOSFETs eliminate external driver and discrete FET design complexity. |
| Dual-Mode Operation | Runs as fully programmable PMBus device or standalone analog regulator - no firmware required for basic functionality. |
| True Differential Remote Sensing | RS+/RS− inputs measure load voltage at point-of-use, compensating for PCB trace IR drop to maintain ±0.5% output accuracy. |
| Pre-Bias Soft-Start | Enables safe startup into pre-charged output capacitors - critical for hot-swap and multi-rail sequencing applications. |
| Dedicated Output Monitoring | VSNS-based OVP and PGood remain functional during EN deassertion, providing fail-safe rail supervision independent of enable state. |
Applications
| Server Core Rails | Network Processor Supplies |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP8772GQ-Z | 12 A rating, 2.7–16 V input, no PMBus, only analog interface; smaller 4 mm × 4 mm QFN. | Lacks telemetry, sequencing, and digital configuration - suitable for cost-sensitive, fixed-output designs without system-level monitoring. | Select when PMBus is unnecessary and board space is constrained; verify thermal margin at 15 A with external MOSFETs. |
| TPS546D24RQF | 15 A, 3–18 V input, PMBus v1.3 compliant, but requires external gate drivers and MOSFETs; larger 6 mm × 6 mm QFN. | Higher BOM count and layout complexity; supports higher VIN max and more flexible phase control in multiphase configurations. | Choose for designs needing >21 V input or multiphase scalability; accept added component count and thermal management overhead. |
Compared with MP8772GQ-Z and TPS546D24RQF, the IR38062 uniquely combines 15 A integrated power stage, PMBus telemetry, and analog fallback in a thermally optimized 5 mm × 7 mm footprint - simplifying design while preserving configurability and observability.

FAQ
Can the IR38062 operate without PMBus communication?
Yes - the IR38062 functions as a fully autonomous analog regulator when ADDR is floating and PMBus lines are unused. It retains all core features including remote sensing, soft-start, OVP, and PGood, with output voltage set by FB resistor divider and frequency set by RT resistor. Analog telemetry (IMON, TMON) remains accessible via SDA and SALERT pins.
What is the minimum output voltage achievable with IR38062?
The IR38062 supports output voltages down to 0.5 V, verified across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature and full 15 A load range. This is enabled by its precision 0.5% reference and low-noise error amplifier architecture, making it suitable for modern sub-0.6 V FPGA and ASIC core rails.
How does the IR38062 handle pre-biased outputs during startup?
The IR38062 implements hardware-enforced pre-bias start-up: when enabled, it monitors FB voltage before initiating switching and gradually ramps gate drive to avoid reverse current flow into a pre-charged output capacitor. This prevents inrush damage and ensures controlled, monotonic voltage rise.
Is external compensation required for stable operation?
Yes - COMP pin requires an external RC network (typically 1–10 kΩ resistor + 1–10 nF capacitor) between COMP and FB to stabilize the control loop. The exact values depend on output capacitance, inductance, and target crossover frequency; Infineon provides design calculators and reference schematics for common configurations.
