Product details
Overview
IR3553MTRPBF from Infineon Technologies is a 40A integrated PowIRstage® synchronous buck power stage combining gate driver, control MOSFET, synchronous MOSFET, and integrated Schottky diode in a single 4mm × 6mm PQFN package. It delivers peak efficiency of 93.2% at 1.2V output, supports up to 1.0MHz switching, and features integrated current sense amplifier with 32.5 V/V gain for high-accuracy phase current monitoring in CPU/GPU core VRs.
For engineers reviewing the IR3553MTRPBF datasheet, IR3553MTRPBF pinout, IR3553MTRPBF application, or IR3553MTRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its DrMOS V4.0 compliance, Body-Braking® transient support, diode-emulation mode for light-load efficiency, and PCB footprint compatibility with IR3550/IR3551 for scalable design reuse.
Technical Context
The IR3553 implements a co-packaged synchronous buck topology with monolithic integration of high-side and low-side MOSFETs, bootstrap gate driver, and precision current-sense amplifier referenced to REFIN. Its internal timing optimization minimizes dead-time loss and enables stable operation up to 1.0MHz under 4.5–15V VIN and 0.25V–(VCC−2.5V) VOUT ranges.
Body-Braking® is implemented via tri-state PWM control (BBRK#-enabled), allowing rapid discharge of output capacitors during load transients. Diode-emulation mode eliminates zero-current detection burden on the controller by internally managing low-side conduction during discontinuous conduction mode.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended operating junction temperature for IR3553MTRPBF?
The maximum operating junction temperature is 125°C under continuous DC load conditions. The device incorporates a thermal flag (PHSFLT#) that asserts low when junction temperature exceeds 160°C (rising threshold) and releases at 135°C (falling threshold), providing overtemperature protection with 25°C hysteresis for reliable operation in high-power density environments.
How does the IR3553MTRPBF implement diode-emulation mode?
Diode-emulation mode is activated by pulling BBRK# low for ≥20ns after VCC passes UVLO. Internally, this configures the PWM logic to conduct the synchronous MOSFET during negative inductor current, eliminating reverse recovery losses and removing the need for external zero-current detection circuitry-enabling >90% efficiency at loads below 10% of rated current without controller modification.
Can IR3553MTRPBF be used without the integrated current sense amplifier?
Yes. When current sensing is disabled, CSIN+ and CSIN− must be tied to LGND, REFIN connected to LGND, IOUT left floating, and TGND connected to PGND. The device operates as a standard DrMOS stage with PWM-controlled switching only, retaining all protection features (PHSFLT#, thermal flag, UVLO) and 40A capability without current telemetry.
What is the purpose of the separate LGND and TGND pins?
LGND serves as the reference for analog circuits (current sense amplifier, REFIN, PWM input), while TGND connects internally to power and signal ground of the driver. For optimal current sense accuracy, LGND and TGND must be electrically isolated in PCB layout to prevent noise coupling from high di/dt PGND currents into the sensitive analog front-end-ensuring ±450 µV offset and >60dB PSRR performance.
