Product details
Overview
IR3579MTRPBF from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a 60A exposed-top integrated PowIRstage® combining synchronous buck gate driver, control MOSFET, synchronous MOSFET, and Schottky diode in one PQFN package. It supports 4.5–15V input, 0.25–5.5V output, 1MHz switching, and delivers on-chip current sensing (5mV/A) with temperature compensation for CPU/GPU core power delivery.
For engineers reviewing the IR3579MTRPBF datasheet, IR3579MTRPBF pinout, IR3579MTRPBF application, or IR3579MTRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include integrated current/temperature sensing accuracy, Body-Braking™ transient support, diode emulation mode for light-load efficiency, and exposed-top thermal performance in high-density server VRMs.
Technical Context
The IR3579MTRPBF implements a co-packaged synchronous buck stage where the gate driver IC directly controls matched high-side and low-side MOSFETs with integrated Schottky clamping. Its internal current sense uses MOSFET RDS(on)-based sensing with real-time temperature compensation, achieving higher accuracy than external DCR-based methods.
It features tri-state PWM input compatibility (3.3V), cycle-by-cycle OCP with self-preservation, phase fault detection, and analog temperature reporting (8mV/°C) with OTP flag. The exposed-top PQFN enables direct heatsink contact for top-side cooling in constrained-height VRMs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 4.5V to 15V - Supports standard 5V/12V intermediate bus architectures in server and GPU VRMs. |
| Output Current | 60A continuous - Rated for sustained high-current CPU core rail delivery without derating at 85°C ambient. |
| Switching Frequency | Up to 1.0MHz - Enables compact magnetics and capacitors while maintaining <1% output voltage deviation during load transients. |
| Current Sense Accuracy | 5mV/A with temp compensation - Delivers ±3% full-scale current measurement error across –40°C to +125°C junction range. |
| Thermal Reporting | 8mV/°C analog output - Provides linear, traceable die temperature signal for system-level thermal management and throttling. |
| Package | 6mm × 6mm × 0.65mm PQFN with exposed top - Allows direct thermal interface to heatsink; reduces thermal resistance by up to 40% vs. standard bottom-exposed QFN. |
Pinout & Package
IR3579MTRPBF uses a 32-pin PQFN package (6mm × 6mm) with exposed top thermal pad. Pin numbering follows standard counter-clockwise convention starting from top-left corner (Pin 1 marked).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | High-side MOSFET drain supply | Primary input power connection; routed to internal high-side FET and Schottky anode. |
| VOUT | Power output node | Switch node connecting internal high-side drain, low-side source, and Schottky cathode. |
| PGND | Power ground reference | Low-impedance return path for high-current switching loop; tied to exposed bottom thermal pad. |
| AGND | Analog ground reference | Isolated ground for current sense amplifier and temperature sensor to minimize noise coupling. |
| PWM | Tri-state PWM input | 3.3V-compatible digital control input enabling Body-Braking™ via high-Z state during load transients. |
| ISEN | Current sense output | Analog voltage proportional to output current (5mV/A); used by controller for current-mode regulation. |
| TEMP | Die temperature output | Analog voltage (8mV/°C) referenced to AGND; enables real-time thermal monitoring without external sensor. |
| FLAG | Fault status output | Open-drain active-low signal asserting on OTP, OCP, or phase fault events. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar integrated high-current buck stage applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISL99390IRZ-T | 60A rating, 4.5–20V VIN, but no integrated Schottky diode; relies on MOSFET body diode or external diode. | Lacks on-die Schottky, increasing light-load conduction loss; requires external diode for optimal efficiency below 10A. | Prefer IR3579MTRPBF when Schottky integration is required for sub-10A efficiency or space-constrained layouts. |
| TPS53689TSSR | 60A DrMOS with integrated driver/MOSFETs only; no current sense or temperature reporting outputs. | No ISEN or TEMP pins - requires external sensing or controller with DCR sensing, adding BOM cost and layout complexity. | Choose IR3579MTRPBF when analog telemetry (current/temp) is needed for closed-loop thermal/power management without external components. |
Compared with ISL99390IRZ-T and TPS53689TSSR, IR3579MTRPBF uniquely integrates Schottky diode, temperature-compensated current sense, and analog thermal reporting in a single exposed-top PQFN, reducing component count and improving telemetry fidelity for server-grade VRMs.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended PCB copper area for the exposed top thermal pad?
The exposed top thermal pad requires direct contact with a heatsink or large copper pour. For optimal thermal performance, Infineon specifies a minimum 25mm² copper area on the top layer, thermally connected via ≥6 vias (0.3mm diameter) to inner-layer ground planes. This achieves ≤0.5°C/W junction-to-ambient resistance at 60A, 70°C ambient.
Does IR3579MTRPBF support multiphase interleaving out of the box?
IR3579MTRPBF does not include built-in phase-interleaving logic. It operates as a standalone buck stage controlled externally by a multi-phase PWM controller (e.g., IR35201 or digital PMBus controllers). Phase offset is managed by the controller's timing signals; the device accepts standard tri-state PWM inputs synchronized to master clock.
Can the ISEN pin be used for overcurrent protection without an external controller?
No. The ISEN pin provides an analog current-proportional voltage (5mV/A) for external controller feedback. Overcurrent protection is handled internally via cycle-by-cycle self-preservation OCP, which asserts the FLAG pin but does not allow user-configurable trip thresholds or latching behavior without external supervision.
Is the exposed top pad electrically isolated from internal circuitry?
Yes. The exposed top thermal pad is electrically isolated and connected only to the package mold compound. It serves solely for thermal conduction and must not be soldered to any voltage plane. Electrical connections are made exclusively through the 32 perimeter pins and bottom-side PGND pad.
