Product details
Overview
IR3802MTRPBF from Infineon Technologies is a highly integrated synchronous buck regulator with integrated high- and low-side MOSFETs, delivering up to 4A continuous output current, 0.6V–12V adjustable output voltage, and fixed 600kHz switching frequency. It operates from 2.5V–21V input, features programmable over-current protection, pre-bias startup, and thermal shutdown - deployed in graphics cards and embedded point-of-load systems.
For engineers reviewing the IR3802MTRPBF datasheet, IR3802MTRPBF pinout, IR3802MTRPBF application, or IR3802MTRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its integrated power stage, AGnd/PGnd separation for noise immunity, hiccup-mode current limiting, soft-start programmability via external capacitor, and VC bootstrap supply requirement for high-side gate drive.
Technical Context
The IR3802MTRPBF implements voltage-mode PWM control with a fixed 600kHz oscillator and internal sawtooth ramp generator, eliminating external timing components. Its error amplifier compares FB voltage against a precision 0.6V reference, driving a trailing-edge modulator that controls integrated N-channel MOSFETs.
Current sensing uses RDS(on) of the low-side FET (18–23 mΩ typ.), enabling resistorless over-current protection with programmable threshold via OCSet resistor. Under-voltage lockout independently monitors 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.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 21V - supports wide industrial and computing input rails including 3.3V, 5V, 12V, and 19V adapters. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.6V to 12V - enables core voltage regulation for CPUs, GPUs, and FPGAs via resistor divider on FB pin. |
| Continuous Output Current | 4A - sustained load capability verified under thermal constraints with 5mm×6mm QFN package. |
| Switching Frequency | 600kHz (540–660kHz) - allows compact external inductors (e.g., 1.5µH) and reduces EMI filtering burden. |
| Reference Voltage Accuracy | ±2.0% (–40°C to +105°C) - ensures stable output regulation across extended temperature ranges. |
| Thermal Shutdown Threshold | 140°C with 20°C hysteresis - provides self-recovery protection without latching during transient overload. |
| Soft-Start Control | Capacitor-programmable via SS pin - sets controlled output ramp time and enables shutdown by pulling SS < 0.3V. |
Pinout & Package
IR3802MTRPBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 15-pin Power QFN package measuring 5mm × 6mm, with exposed thermal pad for PCB-level heat dissipation. Signal (AGnd) and power (PGnd) grounds are physically separated to minimize noise coupling between control and switching paths.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 9 | NC | No-connect pins - must remain unconnected per design; no internal function or routing. |
| 2 | FB | Inverting input of error amplifier - connected to output via resistor divider to set regulated voltage (VOUT = 0.6V × (1 + R1/R2)). |
| 3 | COMP | Error amplifier output - drives compensation network (type II/III) to stabilize loop response. |
| 4, 5, 15 | AGnd | Signal ground for reference, error amp, and control logic - must be tied together and routed separately from PGnd. |
| 6 | SS/SD | Soft-start/shutdown - capacitor-to-AGnd sets ramp time; pulled < 0.3V to force shutdown. |
| 7 | OCSet | Over-current threshold programming - resistor from OCSet to SW sets current limit based on low-side RDS(on). |
| 8 | VCC | Bias supply for internal logic and low-side driver - requires ≥0.1µF ceramic cap to PGnd. |
| 10 | PGnd | Power ground for MOSFET drivers - connects to system power plane and inductor return path. |
| 11 | SW | Switch node - connects to inductor and OCSet resistor; carries high di/dt switching waveform. |
| 12 | VIN | Main input supply - accepts 2.5V–21V; feeds internal LDOs and high-side driver bootstrap circuitry. |
| 13 | HG | High-side gate driver output - connects to high-side MOSFET gate; requires small RC snubber to SW. |
| 14 | VC | Bootstrap supply for high-side driver - must be ≥VIN + 5V (up to 28V); requires ≥0.1µF ceramic cap to PGnd. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated dual-MOSFET power stage | Eliminates external discrete switches; top/bottom RDS(on) = 18–23 mΩ enables >90% efficiency at 4A/1.8V. |
| Pre-bias start-up capability | Allows safe startup into pre-charged output rails without output voltage disturbance or oscillation. |
| Hiccup-mode over-current protection | Enters timed restart cycle upon fault - limits average power dissipation and prevents thermal runaway. |
| Separated AGnd and PGnd terminals | Reduces noise coupling between analog feedback and high-current switching paths for improved regulation accuracy. |
| Programmable soft-start and shutdown | Single-pin (SS/SD) control enables precise power sequencing and system-level enable/disable coordination. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP2315DJ-LF-Z | 3A rated, 2.5–30V input, 500kHz switching, no VC bootstrap - uses internal charge pump for high-side drive. | Lacks separate VC supply and PGnd/AGnd isolation; less suitable for high-noise, high-accuracy POL designs. | Preferred where input voltage exceeds 21V or board space is extremely constrained; not drop-in due to different pinout and control architecture. |
| TPS54332DR | 3A external-FET controller, 3.5–28V input, adjustable frequency (100kHz–2.5MHz), no integrated MOSFETs. | Requires external high/low-side FETs and gate drivers - higher BOM cost but greater thermal and efficiency flexibility. | Chosen when thermal management demands discrete FETs or when 4A+ continuous load requires paralleled stages. |
Compared with MP2315DJ-LF-Z and TPS54332DR, the IR3802MTRPBF delivers higher integration (dual MOSFETs + drivers), tighter output voltage accuracy (±2%), and dedicated ground separation - making it optimal for space-constrained, noise-sensitive computing POLs where 4A continuous output is required.

FAQ
What is the minimum output voltage supported by the IR3802MTRPBF?
The IR3802MTRPBF supports a minimum output voltage of 0.6V, set by its internal precision reference. This value is guaranteed across –40°C to +105°C with ±2.0% accuracy, enabling direct regulation of modern low-voltage processor cores and memory I/O rails without external reference trimming.
How is the over-current protection threshold configured?
The over-current threshold is set by an external resistor connected between OCSet and SW pins. The current limit scales inversely with this resistor value, using the low-side MOSFET's RDS(on) (18–23 mΩ) as the current sense element - eliminating the need for a discrete sense resistor and associated power loss.
Can the IR3802MTRPBF operate without a VC supply?
No. The VC pin must be supplied with a voltage ≥ VIN + 5V (up to 28V) to power the high-side gate driver. This is typically achieved using a bootstrap capacitor charged through the HG-SW path during low-side conduction - omitting VC will disable high-side switching and prevent regulation.
Is the IR3802MTRPBF compatible with pre-charged output capacitors?
Yes. The IR3802MTRPBF includes dedicated pre-bias startup circuitry that disables the synchronous rectifier until the first control pulse is generated, preventing reverse current flow and output voltage collapse when powering into an already charged rail - essential for hot-swap and multi-rail sequencing applications.
