Product details
Overview
IR3500AMTRPBF from Infineon Technologies is a VR11.0 and AMD PVID-compatible multiphase voltage regulator control IC that manages system-level power sequencing, dynamic VID control, and per-phase timing coordination with xPHASE3™ Phase ICs. It delivers 0.5% system set-point accuracy, programmable 250 kHz–1.5 MHz per-phase switching via ROSC resistor, and integrated remote sense amplifier with <50 µA bias current for server CPU/GPU core rail regulation.
For engineers reviewing the IR3500AMTRPBF datasheet, IR3500AMTRPBF pinout, IR3500AMTRPBF application, or IR3500AMTRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include VIDSEL-configurable AMD/VR11 protocol support, programmable load line output impedance, central overvoltage detection with communication to phase ICs, and thermal monitoring via NTC-based VRHOT function.
Technical Context
The IR3500AMTRPBF implements a master-control architecture where it generates daisy-chained digital phase timing (CLKOUT/PHSOUT) and coordinates fault signaling (OCSET, ROSC/OVP, PGOOD) across up to X external Phase ICs. Its error amplifier features 30 MHz bandwidth and 12 V/µs slew rate for fast transient response in high-current CPU VR applications.
It supports dual-protocol VID decoding: AMD 5-/6-bit PVID (via VIDSEL resistor biasing) and Intel VR11 with optional 1.1 V boot voltage. Dynamic VID slew rate, load line (output impedance), and soft-start delay are all resistor- or capacitor-programmable using SS/DEL, OCSET, and ROSC pins - eliminating need for external DACs or microcontrollers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| System Set-Point Accuracy | ±0.5% deviation from VID tables; ensures tight CPU core voltage tolerance under load transients. |
| Per-Phase Switching Frequency | 250 kHz to 1.5 MHz via ROSC resistor (7.75 kΩ–50 kΩ); enables optimal efficiency vs. size trade-off in multiphase designs. |
| Error Amplifier Bandwidth | 30 MHz typical; supports sub-100 ns load-step response for modern high-performance processors. |
| Remote Sense Bias Current | <50 µA on VOSEN+/VOSEN−; minimizes IR drop error in long PCB traces between VR and CPU socket. |
| VRHOT Threshold | 1.600 V ±16 mV; interfaces directly with NTC thermistor divider for accurate power-stage temperature monitoring. |
| PGOOD Delay | 0.5–2.3 ms after startup; provides stable power-good assertion only after output settles within ±1% of target. |
| OVP Detection Threshold | 1.73 V ±130 mV at power-up; triggers immediate shutdown if output exceeds safe margin before system initialization. |
Pinout & Package
IR3500AMTRPBF uses a thermally enhanced 32-lead MLPQ package (5 mm × 5 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad for high-power density CPU VR applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VID7–VID0 (Pins 1–8) | VID code inputs | Decode 5-/6-bit AMD PVID or VR11 digital voltage commands; logic thresholds differ based on VIDSEL configuration. |
| ENABLE (Pin 9) | Global enable input | Active-high; 850 mV threshold with 50 mV hysteresis ensures noise-immune startup/shutdown control. |
| VOSEN+ / VOSEN− (Pins 13/12) | Remote sense differential inputs | Measure true load voltage at CPU socket; enable Kelvin sensing to reject PCB trace resistance error. |
| IIN (Pin 18) | Average current monitor input | Receives summed phase currents from xPHASE3™ Phase ICs; used for overcurrent protection and load-line programming. |
| ROSC/OVP (Pin 23) | Oscillator timing & OVP input | Resistor sets per-phase frequency and bias currents; also serves as analog OVP comparator input during normal operation. |
| VRHOT / HOTSET (Pins 10/11) | Thermal monitoring interface | HOTSET connects NTC thermistor divider; VRHOT outputs open-drain low when sensed temperature exceeds threshold. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable Load Line Output Impedance | Configured via VDRP–FB RC network to emulate droop for current-sharing across parallel phases without current-sense resistors. |
| Dual-Protocol VID Support | Single hardware platform supports both AMD PVID (5/6-bit) and Intel VR11 via VIDSEL pin resistor selection - no firmware change required. |
| Centralized Overvoltage Protection | Detects overvoltage at VO and broadcasts fault signal to all connected Phase ICs within 180 ns propagation delay for coordinated shutdown. |
| Open Remote Sense Detection | Monitors VOSEN+ and VOSEN− independently; asserts fault if either line opens or loop gain drops below detectable level. |
| Integrated VCCL Linear Regulator | Provides regulated 1.2 V ±40 mV bias supply for internal circuitry; includes UVLO with 93% start/87% stop hysteresis relative to VCCL. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar multiphase voltage regulator control applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IR35203MTRPBF | Successor with VR12.5/IMVP8 support, higher 3.5 MHz max phase frequency, and integrated MOSFET drivers. | Designed for newer Intel client platforms requiring faster dynamic VID and tighter voltage tolerances (±0.3%). | Select when upgrading from VR11.0 to IMVP8 and targeting lower system cost via driver integration. |
| TPS53679RTAT | Texas Instruments part with PMBus interface, 400 kHz–2 MHz frequency range, and built-in EEPROM for configuration storage. | Requires PMBus host controller; suited for systems needing telemetry logging, fault history, and field-upgradable settings. | Select when digital configuration, telemetry, and firmware-defined power states are required over analog VID simplicity. |
Compared with IR3500AMTRPBF, IR35203MTRPBF offers higher frequency headroom and native VR12.5 compliance but lacks AMD PVID support; TPS53679RTAT adds digital configurability at the cost of increased design complexity and external component count.

FAQ
What VID protocols does IR3500AMTRPBF support?
IR3500AMTRPBF supports both AMD 5-bit and 6-bit PVID protocols and Intel VR11.0 with or without 1.1 V boot voltage. Protocol selection is determined by the resistor value on VIDSEL: 6.49 kΩ selects AMD 6-bit, floating or VCCL-connected selects VR11, and LGND-connected selects AMD 5-bit. Threshold voltages are specified in the datasheet with ±50 mV margins.
How is per-phase switching frequency programmed?
Per-phase switching frequency is set by an external resistor (ROSC) connected from Pin 23 (ROSC/OVP) to LGND. The value determines both oscillator frequency and bias currents for OCSET, VSETPT, and VDAC. For example, 7.75 kΩ yields 1.5 MHz, 24.5 kΩ yields 500 kHz, and 50.0 kΩ yields 250 kHz - all without additional components.
Does IR3500AMTRPBF require external compensation components?
Yes - external RC networks are required on VDRP–FB (for load-line droop), SS/DEL–LGND (for soft-start timing), and VDAC–LGND (for dynamic VID slew rate and buffer compensation). These networks replace traditional Type II/III compensation and allow tuning without changing feedback topology.
Can IR3500AMTRPBF operate without a Phase IC?
No - IR3500AMTRPBF is a master control IC and requires at least one compatible xPHASE3™ Phase IC (e.g., IR3548A) to drive high-side/low-side MOSFETs. It provides timing, VID decoding, and fault coordination but does not integrate gate drivers or current sensing circuitry needed for standalone operation.
