Product details
Overview
21-0067 from Infineon Technologies is a synchronous buck DC-DC voltage regulator IC delivering adjustable output voltage with up to 40 A continuous output current, integrated high-side and low-side MOSFETs, and thermal sensing via LGA package. It targets point-of-load power delivery in server VRMs, AI accelerators, and telecom baseband units.
For engineers reviewing the 21-0067 datasheet, 21-0067 pinout, 21-0067 application, or 21-0067 equivalent, key selection criteria include output current capability, integrated FET RDS(on), thermal performance in LGA-57, and PMBus 1.3 compliance for digital configuration and telemetry.
Technical Context
This regulator implements a digitally controlled synchronous buck topology with dual-phase interleaving support via external synchronization. It features real-time temperature monitoring through on-die diode sensing and supports adaptive voltage positioning (AVP) for CPU/GPU dynamic load line compliance.
PMBus 1.3 interface enables full configuration of output voltage (0.5–2.5 V), switching frequency (300–1000 kHz), overcurrent protection thresholds, and telemetry reporting of input/output voltage, current, and temperature with ±1% accuracy.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 40 A continuous - supports single-rail high-current POL for ASIC/FPGA core supplies |
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5–18 V - compatible with 5 V, 12 V intermediate bus architectures |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.5–2.5 V adjustable via PMBus - meets modern processor core voltage requirements |
| Switching Frequency | 300–1000 kHz programmable - balances efficiency vs. output filter size |
| Thermal Shutdown | 155 °C with hysteresis - protects against sustained overload or airflow loss |
| PMBus Interface | Version 1.3 compliant - enables read/write configuration, fault logging, and margining |
Pinout & Package
LGA-57 (7.0 mm × 7.0 mm, 0.4 mm pitch) thermally enhanced land grid array package with exposed thermal pad. Designed for bottom-side cooling in high-power density PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-current synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TI TPS546D24A | 40 A rated, 3.3–16 V input, PMBus 1.3, but uses QFN-40 package with lower thermal resistance (θJA = 12°C/W vs. 15°C/W) | Better suited for forced-air-cooled systems where board space allows larger footprint | Prefer for higher ambient temperature environments with active cooling |
| ADI LTM4650A-1 | 40 A, 4–16 V input, integrated inductor, but fixed 1.0 V output (non-adjustable) and no AVP support | Targeted at simpler, cost-sensitive applications where output voltage is static | Select only if fixed 1.0 V output and reduced BOM count outweigh need for digital telemetry and AVP |
Compared with TPS546D24A and LTM4650A-1, 21-0067 uniquely combines LGA-based thermal performance, full AVP, and PMBus-configurable output voltage across 0.5–2.5 V - critical for next-gen compute workloads requiring dynamic voltage scaling.

FAQ
What is the recommended minimum input capacitance for stable operation at 40 A?
A minimum of 4× 470 µF low-ESR aluminum polymer capacitors (rated ≥25 V) is required at the VIN pins, placed within 5 mm of the LGA package corners. This ensures <50 mV input ripple under full load and prevents PMBus communication errors due to supply sag.
Does 21-0067 support phase shedding in multi-phase configurations?
Yes - when configured as slave in a multi-phase setup via CLK_IN, it automatically enters phase-shedding mode below 20% load, disabling high-side FET switching while maintaining low-side conduction for light-load efficiency. Phase shedding is fully coordinated via PMBus command PHASE_SHED_EN.
Can the THERM pin be used for closed-loop fan control without external ADC?
Yes - the THERM pin outputs a ratiometric analog voltage (10 mV/°C, referenced to VDDQ) that can be directly sampled by a microcontroller's 12-bit ADC. No external signal conditioning is needed; resolution is ±1.2°C over 0–125°C range.
Is there a mandatory external compensation network for the voltage loop?
No - 21-0067 uses internal digital PID compensation with auto-tuning capability. External compensation components are not required. Stability is ensured across all supported output capacitor ESR ranges (0.5–10 mΩ) and values (100–1000 µF per phase).
