Product details
Overview
IR38163MTRPBFAUMA1 from Infineon Technologies is a 30 A synchronous buck regulator with integrated OptiMOS™ power stages, SVID and PMBus™ interfaces, 0.5% reference accuracy, programmable 150–1500 kHz switching frequency, and true differential remote sensing for Intel VR13/VR12.5 CPU core power delivery in server and high-end desktop platforms.
For engineers reviewing the IR38163MTRPBFAUMA1 datasheet, IR38163MTRPBFAUMA1 pinout, IR38163MTRPBFAUMA1 application, or IR38163MTRPBFAUMA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include SVID compliance, PMBus™-programmable fault thresholds (OVP/OCP/UVLO), thermally compensated current limit, pre-bias startup capability, and 5 mm × 7 mm PQFN thermal performance under high-current load transients.
Technical Context
This device integrates dual co-packaged OptiMOS™ MOSFETs (2.2 mΩ high-side, 0.78 mΩ low-side), an internal LDO enabling single 16 V input operation, and a digitally enhanced PWM controller supporting Intel VR12.5 (Rev 1.5), VR13 (Rev 1.0), and SVID v1.7 protocols. It delivers precise 0.5–0.875×PVIN output voltage range with ±0.5% accuracy over 0.75–1.25 V FB range.
The PMBus™ interface enables real-time monitoring of input voltage, output voltage, output current, and die temperature, while configurable fault responses-including hiccup-mode OCP, thermal shutdown, and dedicated PGood sensing-ensure system-level security during transient or fault conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 30 A continuous - supports high-current CPU Vccio rail without external current sharing |
| Input Voltage Range | 5.3–16 V - accommodates single-supply operation via internal LDO or external 5 V bias |
| Reference Accuracy | ±0.5% (0°C to 85°C, 0.75–1.25 V FB) - ensures tight output regulation for sub-1 V CPU core rails |
| Switching Frequency | 150–1500 kHz (PMBus™ programmable) - enables optimization of size vs. efficiency across board layouts |
| Thermal Resistance θJA | 11.1 °C/W - validated on 10-layer demo PCB, supports 30 A operation at ≤125°C junction temp |
| MOSFET RDS(on) | 2.2 mΩ (HS), 0.78 mΩ (LS) at Tj = 25°C - minimizes conduction loss in high-duty-cycle applications |
| Remote Sensing | True differential RS+/RS− - rejects PCB IR drop for accurate load-point voltage regulation |
Pinout & Package
IR38163MTRPBFAUMA1 is housed in a thermally enhanced 5 mm × 7 mm PQFN package with exposed thermal pad (PGND-connected) and 26-pin layout optimized for high-current DC/DC conversion. Pin 12 and 25 are PGND; Pin 13 is LGND (single-point quiet ground tie); Pins 23 and 26 are NC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 PVIN | Main power stage input | Connects to bulk input capacitors; requires low-ESL/ESR decoupling near pin for <25 V SW node integrity |
| 2 Boot | High-side gate driver supply | Requires 0.1 µF capacitor to SW; 1 Ω series resistor mandatory if PVIN > 14 V to limit boot diode stress |
| 3 ENABLE | Global IC enable with UVLO | 0.4–0.65 V threshold; supports controlled sequencing and brown-out protection |
| 5 Vsns | OVP and Power Good sense | Direct connection to local VOUT capacitor enables fast overvoltage detection independent of EN state |
| 11 PGood | Open-drain power-good status | Active-high after soft-start; remains functional even when ENABLE is low - critical for system reset coordination |
| 14–16 SV_CLK/SV_DIO/SV_ALERT | SVID bus interface | 3.3 V–compatible digital interface for Intel CPU communication; pull-up required |
| 17–19 SAlert#/SDA/SCL | PMBus™ interface | 400 kHz I²C-compatible bus for configuration, telemetry, and fault logging; ADDR pin sets address offset |
| 24 SW | Switch node | Connects to output inductor; must be routed with minimal loop area to suppress EMI and ringing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated MOSFET drivers + bootstrap diode | Eliminates external gate drive components and discrete bootstrap diode, reducing BOM count and layout complexity |
| Enhanced line/load regulation with feedforward | Improves transient response to input voltage steps and load changes without requiring additional compensation components |
| Post-package trimmed dead-time | Minimizes shoot-through risk in high-frequency operation while maintaining maximum duty cycle capability |
| PMBus™-configurable fault thresholds | Enables system-specific tuning of OVP, OCP, UVLO, and thermal shutdown limits without hardware modification |
| Enhanced pre-bias start-up | Allows safe turn-on into pre-charged output capacitors - essential for multi-rail CPU power sequencing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SVID-compliant high-current buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IR38363MTRPbF | 15 A rated; identical pinout and SVID/PMBus™ feature set; lower RDS(on) not required at reduced current | Targeted at Vmcp (memory controller) rails rather than Vccio; lower thermal mass suits mid-power domains | Select when system load does not exceed 18 A peak and board layout prioritizes thermal margin over max current density |
| MP87653GQH-P | Monolithic 30 A buck with SVID but no PMBus™; fixed 600 kHz fSW; lacks remote sense amplifier and programmable fault thresholds | Designed for cost-sensitive client platforms; no telemetry or dynamic margining capability | Choose only if PMBus™ telemetry, differential sensing, and field-programmable fault response are not required |
Compared with IR38363MTRPbF and MP87653GQH-P, IR38163MTRPBFAUMA1 uniquely combines 30 A capability, true differential remote sensing, PMBus™-configurable protection, and pre-bias startup-making it the only option for robust, telemetry-enabled Vccio regulation in enterprise-class CPU platforms.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported input voltage for IR38163MTRPBFAUMA1?
The absolute maximum PVIN rating is 25 V, but recommended operating range is 5.3–16 V when using the internal LDO, or 1.5–16 V with external 5 V bias. Exceeding 16 V violates the recommended operating conditions and risks violating the 25 V SW node limit under transient conditions.
Does IR38163MTRPBFAUMA1 support remote sensing for both voltage regulation and power-good generation?
Yes - it features true differential remote sense inputs (RS+ and RS−) tied directly to the load, and a dedicated Vsns pin that connects to the local output capacitor for independent power-good assertion and overvoltage protection, even when ENABLE is deasserted.
Can the switching frequency be adjusted dynamically during operation?
Yes - the device supports real-time PMBus™ write commands to change fSW between 150 kHz and 1.5 MHz without interrupting regulation, enabling adaptive efficiency optimization based on load and thermal conditions.
Is IR38163MTRPBFAUMA1 RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes - it is Pb-free and fully RoHS compliant per EU Directive 2011/65/EU, with matte tin (Sn) lead finish and halogen-free packaging meeting IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 (MSL3) requirements.
