Product details
Overview
IR3800AMTRPBF from Infineon Technologies is a highly integrated synchronous buck regulator with integrated high- and low-side MOSFETs, delivering up to 14A continuous output current, operating at a fixed 300kHz switching frequency, supporting 2.5V–21V input and 0.6V–12V adjustable output voltage, and featuring programmable over-current protection - used in graphics card VRMs and embedded point-of-load systems.
For engineers reviewing the IR3800AMTRPBF datasheet, IR3800AMTRPBF pinout, IR3800AMTRPBF application, or IR3800AMTRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its thermally enhanced 5mm×6mm Power QFN package, pre-bias start-up capability, hiccup-mode current limiting, precision 0.6V reference, and dual UVLO thresholds for VCC and VC supplies.
Technical Context
The IR3800AMTRPBF implements voltage-mode PWM control with a fixed 300kHz oscillator and internal sawtooth ramp generator, eliminating external timing components. Its error amplifier compares FB voltage against a 0.6V reference, driving gate drivers via trailing-edge modulation.
Current sensing uses RDS(on) of the internal low-side MOSFET (6.9–8.7mΩ typ), enabling resistorless over-current protection set via OCSet pin. Dual independent UVLO circuits monitor VCC (4.0–4.4V turn-on) and VC (3.1–3.5V turn-on) to ensure safe driver biasing before regulation begins.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 21V - supports wide-input industrial and computing rails including 12V and 19V adapters. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.6V to 12V - enables core voltage regulation for CPUs, GPUs, and FPGAs down to sub-1V logic domains. |
| Continuous Output Current | 14A - delivers full rated load without external current-sense resistors or heatsink augmentation. |
| Switching Frequency | 300kHz (270–330kHz) - balances efficiency and EMI while allowing compact 1µH inductors and ceramic output capacitors. |
| Reference Voltage Accuracy | ±2.0% (–40°C to +105°C) - ensures stable output under thermal stress in desktop PCs and game consoles. |
| Thermal Shutdown Threshold | 140°C with 20°C hysteresis - provides self-recovery protection during sustained overload or airflow loss. |
| Soft-Start Current | 15–28µA - sets startup time via external capacitor; enables controlled inrush management in multi-rail systems. |
Pinout & Package
IR3800AMTRPBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 5mm × 6mm Power QFN package with exposed thermal pad (pin 15 AGnd tied to thermal slug), optimized for PCB copper pour heat dissipation in high-density VRM layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 9 NC | No-connect terminal | Must remain unconnected; no internal function or routing. |
| 2 FB | Inverting error amplifier input | Connects to output via resistor divider to set regulated voltage using 0.6V internal reference. |
| 3 COMP | Error amplifier output | Drives PWM comparator; external compensation network connects here for loop stability. |
| 4, 5, 15 AGnd | Signal ground reference | Must be connected together and routed separately from PGnd to minimize noise coupling into feedback path. |
| 6 SS/SD | Soft-start / shutdown control | Pull below 0.3V to disable regulator; capacitor to AGnd sets monotonic output ramp time. |
| 7 OCSet | Over-current threshold programming | Resistor from OCSet to SW sets current limit; enables precise trip point without sense resistor. |
| 8 VCC | Bias supply for low-side driver & logic | Requires ≥0.1µF high-frequency ceramic cap to PGnd; UVLO triggers if <4.0V. |
| 10 PGnd | Power ground return | Separate ground plane for MOSFET drivers; must connect directly to power inductor and output capacitor negative. |
| 11 SW | Switch node | Connects to inductor; carries high di/dt; requires tight layout to minimize ringing and EMI. |
| 12 VIN | Main input supply | Accepts 2.5–21V; feeds high-side gate driver via VC bootstrap path and internal LDO for VCC. |
| 13 HG | High-side gate driver output | Drives top MOSFET gate; requires small RC snubber to SW to suppress gate oscillation. |
| 14 VC | High-side driver bootstrap supply | Must be >VIN+5V (up to 28V); requires ≥0.1µF ceramic cap to PGnd; UVLO triggers if <3.1V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated dual MOSFETs | Eliminates external discrete switches and reduces BOM count by 4–6 components in typical 14A POL designs. |
| Pre-bias start-up | Enables safe startup into pre-charged outputs (e.g., hot-swap or multi-phase sequencing), avoiding reverse current or output collapse. |
| Hiccup-mode over-current protection | Enters auto-retry shutdown on fault, limiting average power dissipation and preventing thermal runaway during short-circuit events. |
| Independent VCC and VC UVLO | Ensures both driver stages are fully biased before enabling switching - prevents shoot-through and gate drive failure during brown-out. |
| Thermally enhanced Power QFN | Exposed thermal pad and optimized die attach enable 14A operation with ≤3.7W total power loss at 12VIN/1.8VOUT. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP8765GQ-Z (Monolithic Power) | Fixed 500kHz frequency; 12A rating; requires external bootstrap capacitor; no VC UVLO monitoring. | Lacks independent VC supply monitoring and hiccup-mode recovery - less robust in unstable adapter environments. | Select when higher switching frequency allows smaller magnetics and board space is more constrained than thermal margin. |
| TPS546B24RVFR (Texas Instruments) | 40A rating; PMBus interface; digital control loop; 3.3V–18V input; requires external MOSFETs. | Supports telemetry and dynamic voltage scaling but adds complexity and cost for non-PMBus systems. | Select when system-level telemetry, adaptive voltage scaling, or >14A scalability are required - not a drop-in replacement. |
Compared with MP8765GQ-Z and TPS546B24RVFR, the IR3800AMTRPBF offers optimal balance of integration, thermal resilience, and analog simplicity for fixed-frequency 14A POLs where digital control or ultra-high density are not mandatory.

FAQ
What is the minimum recommended output capacitance for stable 14A operation?
The IR3800AMTRPBF requires ≥330µF total ceramic output capacitance (e.g., twelve 22µF/6.3V X5R 0805s) to meet transient response and ripple specs under 14A load steps. Layout must minimize ESL via parallel capacitor placement near PGnd/VIN pins and direct connection to the inductor's SW node.
Can IR3800AMTRPBF operate with input voltage below 4.5V?
Yes - the device supports 2.5V–21V input per absolute maximum ratings and functional specs, but VCC UVLO (4.0V turn-on) and VC UVLO (3.1V turn-on) require auxiliary biasing below ~4.5V input. A dedicated LDO or charge pump is needed to maintain driver functionality at VIN < 4.5V.
How is thermal performance verified in production?
Thermal shutdown threshold (140°C) and hysteresis (20°C) are design-guaranteed per characterization data (PD-60353, Note3) and validated through accelerated life testing and thermal imaging on representative production lots - not 100% tested per unit but statistically assured per AEC-Q100-compliant process controls.
Is AGnd and PGnd separation mandatory in layout?
Yes - AGnd (pins 4, 5, 15) must form a quiet signal ground island isolated from PGnd (pin 10) except at a single-point star connection near the input capacitor. Mixing grounds degrades reference stability and causes 5–10% output voltage error due to PGnd noise coupling into the 0.6V feedback path.
