Product details
Overview
IR38164MTRPBFAUMA1 from Infineon is a fully integrated synchronous buck regulator with integrated MOSFET drivers, supporting 30 A continuous output current, Intel SVID v1.7/VR12.5/VR13 compliance, 0.5% reference accuracy, and programmable 500 kHz–1.5 MHz switching frequency. It delivers precise low-voltage power (0.5 V–0.875×PVIN) for CPU non-core rails including VCCIO and VCMP in server and high-end desktop platforms.
For engineers reviewing the IR38164MTRPBFAUMA1 datasheet, IR38164MTRPBFAUMA1 pinout, IR38164MTRPBFAUMA1 application, or IR38164MTRPBFAUMA1 equivalent, this device serves as a single-phase iPOL solution with PMBus™-programmable fault thresholds, true differential remote sensing, thermally compensated current limiting, and dedicated PGOOD with OVP active during disable.
Technical Context
The IR38164 implements a voltage-mode PWM controller with feedforward line regulation and an internal LDO enabling single 16 V input operation. Its SVID interface supports dynamic VID slew rate control, VR13HC set-work-point commands, and all-call addressing for multi-rail coordination.
It integrates dual MOSFET drivers with bootstrap diode, on-die temperature sensing, and a 12-bit ADC for telemetry of Vin, Vout, Iout, and die temperature. Fault protection includes hiccup-mode OCP, UVLO with adjustable threshold, and independent OVP using dedicated Vsns pin with offset DAC calibration.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 30 A continuous; supports high-current CPU non-core rails without external current sense amplifiers. |
| Input Voltage Range | 5.5 V to 16 V PVIN; internal LDO enables single-supply operation without auxiliary bias rail. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.5 V to 0.875×PVIN; covers VCCIO, VCMP, and other sub-1V Intel VR rails with SVID-programmable margining. |
| Reference Accuracy | ±0.5% over -40°C to +125°C; ensures tight output regulation across industrial temperature range. |
| Switching Frequency | 500 kHz to 1.5 MHz via PMBus™; allows optimization of size vs. efficiency in dense point-of-load designs. |
| Interface Protocol | SVID v1.7, I²C, PMBus™ v1.2; enables full telemetry, sequencing, fault logging, and dynamic voltage scaling in server BIOS. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Active at Tj > 150°C ±5°C with thermal derating curve; protects against sustained overload in enclosed systems. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 5 mm × 7 mm PQFN, 40-pin, exposed thermal pad, RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 3.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PVIN | Main power input for high-side FET | Connects to bulk input capacitors; requires low-ESL/ESR decoupling near PGND for stable high-frequency operation. |
| BOOT | Bootstrap supply for high-side gate driver | Requires 0.1 µF capacitor to SW; series 1 Ω resistor mandatory if PVIN > 14 V to limit boot diode stress. |
| ENABLE | Logic-level enable with voltage monitoring | Asserts internal startup sequence; monitors input voltage for UVLO and initiates soft-start when valid. |
| ADDR | PMBus™ address offset configuration | Resistor-to-LGND sets 4-bit address offset; supports up to 16 unique addresses on shared bus. |
| Vsns | Dedicated OVP and PGOOD sensing node | True differential remote sense input; remains active for overvoltage protection even when ENABLE is low. |
| FB | Inverting error amplifier input | Connected to output filter; used for closed-loop regulation; separate from Vsns to avoid sensing path conflicts. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated MOSFET drivers + bootstrap diode | Eliminates external high-side gate drive components and discrete bootstrap diode, reducing BOM count and layout area. |
| True differential remote voltage sensing | Compensates for PCB trace IR drop between regulator and load, ensuring accurate load-point regulation under dynamic current steps. |
| Thermally compensated pulse-by-pulse current limit | Adjusts OCP threshold dynamically with junction temperature to maintain consistent current protection across operating range. |
| PMBus™-configurable fault thresholds | Allows system-level tuning of input UVLO, output OVP/OCP, and thermal shutdown limits without hardware changes. |
| Enhanced pre-bias start-up | Enables safe turn-on into pre-biased output without reverse current flow or output voltage overshoot. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SVID-compliant single-phase buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISL91302BHRZ-T7A | 2-phase interleaved design; higher integration (dual output); no SVID support; uses I²C only. | Targeted at mobile SoC power delivery; lacks VR12.5/VR13 protocol stack and dedicated Vsns OVP path. | Select only for non-Intel platforms requiring dual-output capability and lower quiescent current. |
| TPS53679RSMT | Supports SVID v1.7 and VR13; 40 A rating; requires external MOSFETs; larger footprint (7 mm × 7 mm). | Used in core CPU VRs with higher current demand; lacks integrated drivers and bootstrap diode. | Choose when >30 A output or discrete FET selection for thermal partitioning is required. |
Compared with ISL91302BHRZ-T7A and TPS53679RSMT, the IR38164MTRPBFAUMA1 uniquely combines SVID compliance, integrated drivers, true differential Vsns, and compact 5 mm × 7 mm PQFN-making it optimal for space-constrained, Intel-compatible non-core VRs where component count and layout simplicity are critical.

FAQ
What input voltage range does the IR38164MTRPBFAUMA1 support?
The IR38164MTRPBFAUMA1 operates from 5.5 V to 16 V on its PVIN pin. Its internal LDO allows full functionality-including gate driving and logic-using only this single input rail, eliminating the need for a separate 5 V or 3.3 V bias supply in most implementations.
Does the IR38164MTRPBFAUMA1 support remote voltage sensing?
Yes-it features true differential remote sensing via dedicated Vsns and RS+/RS− pins. This path is independent of the FB loop and remains active for overvoltage protection and PGOOD generation even when the ENABLE pin is deasserted.
How is the PMBus™ address configured on the IR38164MTRPBFAUMA1?
The ADDR pin accepts a resistor to LGND to set a 4-bit address offset. Combined with the base address (default 0x60), this allows up to 16 unique addresses (0x60–0x6F) on a shared PMBus™ bus, supporting multi-rail coordination without address conflict.
What protection features are implemented in hardware versus firmware?
Hardware protections include thermal shutdown (150°C), input UVLO (adjustable via VIN_UV_DAC), output OVP (via Vsns offset DAC), and hiccup-mode OCP with thermally compensated current limit. Firmware-configurable features include PMBus™-set fault thresholds, soft-start time, and dynamic VID slew rate-all enforced by on-chip logic without host intervention.
