Product details
Overview
IR3477MTR1PBF from Infineon Technologies is a highly integrated 15A synchronous buck DC/DC regulator with on-die high- and low-side MOSFETs, constant-on-time control, 0.5V ±1% reference, programmable switching frequency up to 750 kHz, and thermally compensated over-current protection. It delivers precise regulation from 3V–27V input to 0.5V–12V output in a compact 5mm × 6mm QFN package, targeting point-of-load conversion in notebook power rails.
For engineers reviewing the IR3477MTR1PBF datasheet, IR3477MTR1PBF pinout, IR3477MTR1PBF application, or IR3477MTR1PBF equivalent, key selection factors include its FCCM/DCM mode selectability via pin 1, ISET-based current limit programming, PGOOD open-drain signaling, pre-bias startup capability, and VCC under-voltage lockout with 300 mV hysteresis.
Technical Context
The IR3477 implements a constant-on-time (COT) hysteretic control architecture that eliminates external loop compensation while maintaining fast transient response across load steps. Its internal gate drivers support bootstrapped high-side FET operation and integrate deadtime control (5–30 ns) to prevent shoot-through.
Thermal compensation of over-current protection uses the ISET pin's temperature coefficient (4400 ppm/°C) to scale trip threshold with junction temperature. The device supports both forced continuous conduction mode (FCCM) and diode-emulation DCM via the FCCM pin, enabling efficiency optimization across light-to-heavy loads.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3V to 27V - supports wide-input industrial and battery-powered systems including 12V/24V distributed supplies. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.5V to 12V - enables core voltage regulation for CPUs, GPUs, and SoCs with tight tolerance (±1% at 0.5V). |
| Continuous Output Current | 15A - delivered via integrated 14.5 mΩ/6 mΩ (HS/LS) MOSFETs, eliminating external power stage design effort. |
| Switching Frequency | Programmable up to 750 kHz - set via FF pin resistor; higher frequencies reduce output filter size but increase switching loss. |
| Reference Voltage Accuracy | 0.5V ±1% - ensures stable feedback loop performance without external trimming or calibration. |
| Soft-Start Control | Capacitor-programmable via SS pin - prevents inrush current during power-up; shutdown achieved by pulling SS < 0.3V. |
| Power Good Output | Open-drain PGOOD with 25–50 Ω pull-down - signals valid regulation after soft-start and fault-free operation. |
| Enable Threshold | 1.1–1.45 V rising edge with 400 mV hysteresis - allows precise input voltage monitoring for system sequencing. |
Pinout & Package
IR3477MTR1PBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 5mm × 6mm QFN package with exposed thermal pad (PGND-connected), 0.5 mm pitch, and 28-pin layout. Pin 1 is marked with a dot; the package supports reflow soldering per JEDEC Level 2 moisture sensitivity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 FCCM | Mode Select Input | 3.3V logic level: forces CCM; grounded: enables DCM/diode emulation for light-load efficiency. |
| 2 ISET | Current Limit Programming | Connects to PHASE through resistor to set over-current trip point; temperature-compensated (4400 ppm/°C). |
| 3 PGOOD | Open-Drain Status Output | Asserts low when output is within ±7.5 mV of target; requires external pull-up to 3.3V. |
| 4,17 GND | Analog Ground Reference | Signal return for FB, SS, EN, and internal bias circuits; must be separated from PGND in layout. |
| 5 FB | Feedback Input | Inverting input to PWM comparator; monitors output via resistive divider; senses OVP/UVP faults. |
| 6 SS | Soft-Start/Shutdown | Capacitor-to-GND sets ramp time; pulled <0.3V to disable converter with controlled discharge. |
| 8 3VCBP | LDO Bypass | Bypasses internal 3.3V LDO for gate drive bias; requires 1 µF ceramic capacitor to GND. |
| 10 VCC | Gate Drive Supply | 5V supply for internal drivers; minimum 1 µF ceramic decoupling required at pin. |
| 11 PGND | Power Ground Return | High-current return path for lower MOSFET and output capacitor; connects to thermal pad. |
| 12 PHASE | Switch Node | Connection between HS and LS FETs; drives external bootstrap capacitor and senses DCM comparator offset. |
| 13 VIN | Main Input Supply | Primary power input (3–27V); feeds upper FET source and internal LDO; requires local bulk capacitance. |
| 14 BOOT | Bootstrap Supply | Connects to PHASE via capacitor to generate gate drive voltage > VIN for upper FET. |
| 15 FF | Feed-Forward Input | Resistor-to-VIN sets on-time; improves line regulation and enables frequency programming. |
| 16 EN | Enable with Monitoring | Turns device on/off; two-resistor divider sets turn-on threshold (1.1–1.45 V) with 400 mV hysteresis. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external compensation required | Constant-on-time control eliminates need for type-II/type-III compensation network, reducing BOM count and layout sensitivity. |
| Pre-bias start-up support | Allows safe startup into pre-charged output capacitors without reverse current flow or output collapse. |
| Thermally compensated OCP | ISET pin current scales with temperature (4400 ppm/°C), maintaining consistent current limit across -40°C to +125°C junction range. |
| Programmable FCCM/DCM mode | FCCM pin selects conduction mode: CCM ensures fixed frequency and low noise; DCM improves light-load efficiency. |
| Precision 0.5V reference | 0.5V ±1% internal reference enables accurate low-VOUT regulation (e.g., 1.05V @ ±1%) without external DAC or trimming. |
| Integrated dual MOSFET power stage | On-die 14.5 mΩ HS / 6 mΩ LS FETs deliver 15A continuous current with minimal external components and thermal footprint. |

FAQ
What is the recommended layout practice for the thermal pad of IR3477MTR1PBF?
The exposed thermal pad (Pin 11 PGND) must be soldered to a solid copper pour connected to the main PGND plane using ≥4 thermal vias (0.3 mm diameter, spaced ≤1 mm apart). Avoid splitting the pad or routing signals underneath it. Thermal relief connections to inner layers are not permitted-full copper connection ensures junction temperature stays below 125°C at 15A.
Can IR3477MTR1PBF operate with a 2.5V input supply?
No. The absolute minimum input voltage is 3V per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table, and the Recommended Operating Conditions specify 3V–27V. Operation below 3V risks failure to initiate switching, improper gate drive, or undervoltage lockout activation due to insufficient VCC bootstrap margin and internal LDO headroom.
How is the over-current protection threshold calculated using the ISET pin?
The ISET pin sources a temperature-compensated current (19 µA typical at 25°C, +4400 ppm/°C) into an external resistor tied to the PHASE node. The resulting voltage drop across the resistor sets the current-limit threshold: ILIM ≈ (VPHASE − VISET) / RISET. Typical design uses 10 kΩ for ~15A trip with appropriate derating for temperature rise.
Does IR3477MTR1PBF support output voltages below 0.5V?
No. The internal reference is fixed at 0.5V ±1%, and the FB pin is designed for inverting configuration with this reference. Attempting to regulate below 0.5V violates the electrical specification and results in loss of regulation accuracy, unstable PGOOD assertion, and potential violation of the ±7.5 mV UVP/OVP hysteresis window.
