Product details
Overview
IR3802AMTR1PBF from Infineon Technologies is a highly integrated synchronous buck regulator with integrated high- and low-side MOSFETs, delivering up to 6A continuous output current, 0.6V to 12V adjustable output voltage, and fixed 300kHz switching frequency. It operates from 2.5V–21V input, features precision 0.6V reference, hiccup-mode over-current protection, and pre-bias start-up-designed for point-of-load regulation in graphics cards and embedded computing power rails.
For engineers reviewing the IR3802AMTR1PBF datasheet, IR3802AMTR1PBF pinout, IR3802AMTR1PBF application, or IR3802AMTR1PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its thermally enhanced 5mm×6mm Power QFN package, programmable OCSet threshold, AGnd/PGnd separation for noise immunity, and VC biasing requirement above VIN+5V.
Technical Context
The IR3802AMTR1PBF 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 limiting uses RDS(on)-based sensing of the low-side MOSFET (18–23mΩ typ), enabling resistor-free protection. Under-voltage lockout monitors both VCC (4.0–4.4V turn-on) and VC (3.1–3.5V turn-on), while thermal shutdown activates at 140°C with 20°C hysteresis and auto-restart.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 21V - supports wide-input industrial and computing supplies including 12V and 19V rails. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.6V to 12V - enables core voltage regulation down to sub-1V for modern processors and FPGAs. |
| Continuous Output Current | 6A - sustained delivery under thermal limits with external inductor and PCB copper area design. |
| Switching Frequency | 300kHz (270–330kHz) - balances efficiency and EMI while allowing compact 2.2μH inductors. |
| Reference Voltage Accuracy | ±2.0% (−40°C to +105°C) - ensures stable output setpoint across temperature for reliable system operation. |
| Thermal Shutdown Threshold | 140°C with 20°C hysteresis - protects internal MOSFETs and die during overload or poor heatsinking. |
| Soft-Start Current | 15–28μA - sets startup time via external capacitor on SS pin without requiring dedicated controller logic. |
Pinout & Package
IR3802AMTR1PBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 15-pin Power QFN package measuring 5mm × 6mm, with exposed thermal pad (EP) on underside for direct PCB thermal coupling. AGnd pins (4, 5, 15) must be connected together and routed to a clean signal ground plane; PGnd (10) is isolated for power return path integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 9 NC | No-connect | Not internally bonded; must remain unconnected per datasheet. |
| 2 FB | Inverting feedback input | Connects to output divider; regulates output by comparing against 0.6V internal reference. |
| 3 COMP | Error amplifier output | Drives PWM comparator; external compensation network sets loop stability. |
| 4, 5, 15 AGnd | Analog ground reference | Common return for reference, error amp, and soft-start circuitry; must tie to quiet ground plane. |
| 6 SS/SD | Soft-start/shutdown control | Pull below 0.25V to disable; capacitor to AGnd sets ramp rate for controlled VOUT rise. |
| 7 OCSet | Over-current threshold set | Resistor to SW pin programs current limit; enables scalable protection without sense resistor. |
| 8 VCC | Bias supply for low-side driver | Must be ≥4.5V; requires ≥0.1μF ceramic cap to PGnd for stable gate drive. |
| 10 PGnd | Power ground return | Isolated return path for MOSFET drivers; connects to power plane near SW and inductor. |
| 11 SW | Switch node | Connects to inductor; carries high di/dt; requires short, low-inductance layout. |
| 12 VIN | Main input supply | Accepts 2.5–21V; decoupling caps required close to pin for transient response. |
| 13 HG | High-side gate driver output | Drives top MOSFET gate; requires small RC snubber to SW for ringing suppression. |
| 14 VC | Bootstrap supply for high-side driver | Must exceed VIN by ≥5V; requires ≥0.1μF ceramic cap to PGnd for charge reservoir. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated dual MOSFETs | 18–23mΩ RDS(on) top/bottom switches eliminate external FETs and reduce BOM count and footprint. |
| Pre-bias start-up | Enables safe startup into pre-charged outputs without output voltage collapse or oscillation. |
| Hiccup-mode over-current protection | Shuts down on fault, waits for recovery, then retries-prevents thermal runaway during sustained overload. |
| Separated AGnd and PGnd | Minimizes noise coupling between analog control circuitry and high-current power paths. |
| Programmable soft-start | Adjustable ramp time via external capacitor avoids inrush current and stabilizes multi-rail sequencing. |

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) | 4A rated, 2.5–18V input, 0.6–5.5V output, 500kHz switching, no VC bootstrap pin | Lacks VC biasing architecture; unsuitable for >12V input or high-side gate drive above VIN+5V | Choose for lower-current, cost-sensitive designs where 300kHz EMI profile and VC flexibility are not required. |
| TPS546B24RVFT (TI) | 10A rated, 3–20V input, 0.5–5.5V output, PMBus interface, 350kHz–2MHz programmable frequency | Includes digital telemetry and margining; requires external MOSFETs and more complex layout | Choose when remote monitoring, dynamic voltage scaling, or higher current headroom is needed-accepts larger footprint and BOM cost. |
Compared with MP8765GQ-Z and TPS546B24RVFT, the IR3802AMTR1PBF uniquely balances 6A capability, integrated power stage, VC bootstrap support for high-VIN operation, and minimal external component count-making it optimal for space-constrained, analog-controlled PoL applications where digital interface adds no value.

FAQ
What is the minimum recommended output capacitance for stable operation at 6A?
The IR3802AMTR1PBF requires ≥220μF total output capacitance using low-ESR ceramic or polymer capacitors, distributed near the FB and PGnd pins. Layout must minimize loop inductance between SW, PGnd, and output caps to prevent instability and overshoot during 4A/μs load transients.
Can the IR3802AMTR1PBF operate with VIN = 3.3V?
Yes-VIN can be as low as 2.5V, but output voltage must be ≤0.8×VIN per datasheet. At 3.3V input, maximum regulated output is 2.64V. Also verify VCC and VC UVLO thresholds are met: VCC ≥4.0V and VC ≥3.1V require external biasing if VIN < 4.5V.
How is the hiccup current limit threshold set?
The hiccup threshold is set by connecting a resistor between OCSet (Pin 7) and SW (Pin 11). A 10kΩ resistor yields ~20μA OCSET current, corresponding to ~6A limit with typical RDS(on); exact value depends on MOSFET conduction resistance and temperature.
Is the thermal pad (EP) electrically connected to any internal node?
No-the exposed thermal pad is internally connected only to PGnd (Pin 10). It must be soldered to a dedicated PGnd copper pour with ≥4 thermal vias (0.3mm diameter) to inner ground layers to achieve specified θJA = 15°C/W and sustain 6A continuous operation.
