Product details
Overview
IR3500MTRPBF from Infineon Technologies is a VR11.0 and AMD PVID-compatible multiphase voltage regulator control IC that manages system-level power sequencing, dynamic VID adjustment, 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 CPU/GPU core voltage regulation in high-performance computing platforms.
For engineers reviewing the IR3500MTRPBF datasheet, IR3500MTRPBF pinout, IR3500MTRPBF application, or IR3500MTRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include VR11/AMD VID mode configuration via VIDSEL, programmable load line (VDRP/FB RC network), central overvoltage detection with ROSC/OVP reporting, and thermal monitoring via VRHOT with NTC thermistor interface.
Technical Context
The IR3500 implements a master-control architecture where it generates daisy-chained digital phase timing (CLKOUT/PHSOUT) and coordinates up to X phases via dedicated PHSIN/PHSOUT signaling with external xPHASE3™ Phase ICs. Its error amplifier features 30 MHz bandwidth and 12 V/µs slew rate to support fast transient response in sub-1V core rails.
It integrates dual-mode VID decoding (Intel VR11 with/without 1.1V boot, AMD 5-/6-bit PVID), programmable dynamic VID slew rate (via VDAC RC), and centralized protection including overvoltage (OVP threshold 1.73V ±130mV at power-up), overcurrent (OCSET resistor-programmed), and open remote sense detection (VOSEN+/VOSEN− differential comparator).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| System Set-Point Accuracy | ±0.5% deviation across 0.3–1.5V output range; enables tight CPU core voltage tolerance under dynamic load changes. |
| Per-Phase Switching Frequency | 250 kHz to 1.5 MHz (set by ROSC resistor 7.75kΩ–50kΩ); eliminates external clock components and supports scalable phase count. |
| Error Amplifier Bandwidth | 30 MHz typical; ensures stable loop compensation for fast load transients in high-current VR applications. |
| Remote Sense Bias Current | <50 µA on VOSEN+ and VOSEN−; minimizes IR drop error in long PCB traces between VR and processor die. |
| VRHOT Threshold | 1.600 V ±16 mV; triggers thermal shutdown when NTC-based HOTSET voltage drops below threshold, protecting power stage MOSFETs. |
| VIDSEL Mode Selection | Dual-threshold logic (0.6V for AMD 5/6-bit, 3.3V for VR11 boot/no-boot); enables single hardware design to support both Intel and AMD platforms. |
| OVP Detection Delay | 90–300 ns propagation from VO overdrive to ROSC/OVP assertion; provides rapid fault signaling to system management controller. |
Pinout & Package
IR3500MTRPBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 32-lead MLPQ package (5 mm × 5 mm body, 0.5 mm pitch), optimized for high-power density VR designs with exposed thermal pad.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VID7–VID0 | VID code inputs | 8-bit parallel bus accepting Intel VR11 or AMD PVID codes; decoded internally to generate precise VDAC reference. |
| ENABLE | Global enable input | Logic-high active; thresholds differ for VR11 (850 mV) and AMD (1.2 V) modes; hysteresis prevents chatter during power ramp. |
| VOSEN+, VOSEN− | Remote sense differential inputs | True Kelvin sensing inputs; low 50 µA bias current preserves accuracy across PCB trace resistance. |
| VDRP | Current-sense buffer output | Buffered IIN signal used with external RC on FB to program load-line (ESR) compensation for droop control. |
| ROSC/OVP | Oscillator programming & OVP flag | Resistor sets switching frequency; voltage >1.6V indicates overvoltage condition-directly readable by host controller. |
| VRHOT, HOTSET | Thermal monitor interface | HOTSET connects to NTC thermistor divider; VRHOT is open-drain output asserting low on thermal fault. |
| SS/DEL | Soft-start & OC delay timing | Capacitor-to-ground sets soft-start time (0.8–3.25 ms) and hiccup delay; internal charge/discharge ratio controls ramp profile. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Multi-standard VID support | Single IC supports Intel VR11 (with/without 1.1V boot) and AMD PVID (5- or 6-bit) via VIDSEL pin configuration-reduces BOM variants. |
| Centralized OVP with communication | Detects overvoltage at power-up (1.73V threshold) and during operation (125 mV above VDAC); signals all connected Phase ICs via IIN bus. |
| Programmable load-line impedance | VDRP-driven RC network on FB pin sets output impedance slope (droop) to match CPU current-sense requirements without external op-amps. |
| Open remote sense detection | Monitors VOSEN+ and VOSEN− independently; asserts fault if either line opens or differential exceeds 250 mV-prevents false regulation. |
| Integrated VCCL linear regulator | On-chip bias regulator with programmable UVLO (94% VCCL start threshold) and 1.19V reference; reduces external component count for auxiliary supply. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar multiphase VR control applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISL6367IRZ | Supports VR12.5 with digital SVID interface; lacks native AMD PVID decode; requires external VID translator for AMD platforms. | Targeted at newer Intel platforms only; no direct replacement for mixed Intel/AMD designs. | Select when upgrading to SVID-based systems and abandoning legacy VID buses. |
| TPS53679RTAT | Integrates MOSFET drivers; no external Phase IC required; supports D-CAP3 control but not VR11.0 timing protocol. | Suitable for compact, lower-phase-count designs where integration outweighs protocol fidelity. | Choose for space-constrained embedded applications where full xPHASE3™ scalability is unnecessary. |
Compared with ISL6367IRZ and TPS53679RTAT, IR3500MTRPBF uniquely supports both VR11.0 and AMD PVID natively in one footprint, retains full daisy-chain phase timing compatibility, and delivers tighter 0.5% system accuracy-making it irreplaceable for legacy server/desktop VR designs requiring dual-standard compliance.

FAQ
What VID protocols does IR3500MTRPBF support?
IR3500MTRPBF supports Intel VR11.0 (with and without 1.1V boot voltage) and AMD PVID (5-bit and 6-bit) through hardware-selectable VIDSEL pin configuration. The VIDSEL pin voltage thresholds-0.6V for AMD mode and 3.3V for VR11 mode-are internally trimmed and verified per datasheet Table 3. No firmware or external logic is needed to switch between standards.
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. Values from 7.75 kΩ to 50.0 kΩ yield frequencies from 1.5 MHz down to 250 kHz, as specified in Electrical Characteristics Table on page 3 of the datasheet. The same resistor also scales OCSET, VSETPT, and VDAC bias currents proportionally.
Does IR3500MTRPBF require external Phase ICs?
Yes-IR3500MTRPBF is a master control IC and must be paired with Infineon's xPHASE3™ Phase ICs (e.g., IR3520x series) to drive high-current MOSFET stages. It provides CLKOUT, PHSOUT, and IIN signaling to coordinate timing and current sharing across multiple phases, but contains no integrated gate drivers or power switches.
What protection features are integrated?
IR3500MTRPBF integrates centralized overvoltage protection (OVP) with power-up and dynamic thresholds, overcurrent protection (programmed via OCSET resistor), open remote sense detection (VOSEN+/VOSEN−), thermal monitoring (VRHOT with NTC on HOTSET), and enable-input hysteresis. All protections assert fault signals directly to system controllers or disable PHSOUT/CLKOUT to halt phase operation.
