Product details
Overview
IR3824MTRPBF from Infineon Technologies is a 15A synchronous buck regulator with integrated high- and low-side MOSFETs, PWM controller, bootstrap diode, and LDO. It operates from 1.0V–21V input, delivers 0.6V–0.86×Vin output, supports 300kHz–1.5MHz switching frequency, and features thermally compensated over-current protection with three selectable trip points. Used in server point-of-load power rails.
For engineers reviewing the IR3824MTRPBF datasheet, IR3824MTRPBF pinout, IR3824MTRPBF application, or IR3824MTRPBF equivalent, key selection factors include its integrated power stage (RDS(on) top = 8.4 mΩ typ, bottom = 3.8 mΩ typ), monotonic pre-bias start-up, programmable PGood threshold, and PQFN 5 mm × 6 mm thermal performance (θJ–PCB = 2°C/W).
Technical Context
The IR3824 implements a voltage-mode PWM control architecture with feed-forward line regulation and internal digital soft-start. Its error amplifier uses Fb and Comp pins for external loop compensation, while Rt sets switching frequency via resistor-to-ground.
Protection logic includes thermally compensated current limiting (via ILIM pin configuration), over-voltage detection (Vsns), and thermal shutdown. The device supports dual biasing: internal LDO (Vcc/LDO_Out) or external 4.5V–7.5V supply, with Vin and PVin electrically separated for optimal noise isolation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 15 A continuous - supports high-density server and telecom POL rails without external MOSFETs |
| Input Voltage Range | 1.0 V to 21 V - enables single-rail operation from 12 V or 5 V bus, or wide-range industrial inputs |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.6 V to 0.86×Vin - supports sub-1 V core supplies (e.g., 0.85 V @ 12 V input) with ±0.6% reference accuracy |
| Switching Frequency | 0.3 MHz to 1.5 MHz - adjustable via Rt resistor; higher frequencies reduce inductor size but increase switching loss |
| RDS(on) Top / Bottom | 8.4 mΩ / 3.8 mΩ typ @ 25°C - defines conduction loss at 15 A; bottom FET lower RDS(on) improves light-load efficiency |
| Thermal Resistance θJ–PCB | 2 °C/W - enables high-power dissipation with minimal PCB copper area; requires direct thermal pad connection to ground plane |
| Operating Junction Temp | −40°C to +125°C - validated for sustained operation in enclosed telecom chassis and enterprise storage enclosures |
Pinout & Package
PQFN 5 mm × 6 mm, 17-pin package with exposed thermal pad (Pin 11 = PGnd). Requires solder paste stencil design for thermal pad reflow and strict adherence to NC pin floating (Pins 2 & 16).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Fb | Inverting feedback input | Connects to output via resistor divider; sets regulated VOUT with 0.6 V reference; critical for loop stability |
| 3 Comp | Error amplifier output | Interface for external RC compensation network between Comp and Fb; determines phase margin and transient response |
| 5 Rt | Frequency set input | Resistor-to-GND sets fSW; 100 kΩ → ~600 kHz, 30 kΩ → ~1.5 MHz; tolerance directly impacts timing accuracy |
| 6 ILIM | Current limit select | Floating = 15 A, tied to Vcc = 12 A, tied to PGnd = 9 A; enables scalable fault current protection per rail |
| 7 PGood | Open-drain power-good indicator | Asserts after soft-start and VOUT within ±5%; requires external pull-up to ≤Vcc; used for sequencing in multi-rail systems |
| 10 Vcc/LDO_Out | Bias supply I/O | Supplies internal circuitry; can be driven externally (4.5–7.5 V) to bypass internal LDO when PVin < 7.5 V |
| 12 SW | Power switch node | Connects to output inductor; carries high di/dt; requires tight layout and Kelvin sensing for accurate OVP |
| 14 Boot | High-side gate driver supply | 100 nF capacitor to SW provides floating bias for top FET gate drive; critical for reliable high-side turn-on |
| 15 Enable | Logic-level on/off control | Active-high; UVLO implemented via resistor divider from PVin; enables system-level power sequencing |
| 11 PGnd | Power ground return | Dedicated ground for MOSFET drivers; must be routed separately from signal GND to minimize noise coupling into control loop |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Power Stage | Eliminates 4 external MOSFETs and gate drivers; reduces BOM count and layout area by >35% vs discrete buck solutions |
| Monotonic Pre-Bias Start-Up | Enables safe ramp-up into pre-charged outputs (e.g., FPGA cores); prevents reverse current flow during power-on |
| Three-Setting Over-Current Protection | Configurable trip thresholds (9/12/15 A) allow matching fault tolerance to downstream load requirements without redesign |
| Enhanced Line Regulation | Feed-forward compensation maintains ±0.5% output regulation across full 1.0–21 V input range, reducing need for post-regulation |
| Programmable Power Good | Adjustable delay and threshold via external RC on PGood enable precise rail sequencing in multi-voltage systems (e.g., CPU + memory) |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP2451DT-LF-Z (Monolithic Power) | 3A max output, no integrated high-side FET; requires external MOSFETs and bootstrap cap | Limited to low-power applications (<5 W); lacks pre-bias start-up and programmable PGood | Only suitable for cost-sensitive, low-current auxiliary rails where integration is secondary |
| TPS546D24RQFPR (Texas Instruments) | 15A, PMBus-enabled, 4-mm × 3-mm QFN; supports digital telemetry and adaptive voltage scaling | Requires firmware integration and PMBus host; higher BOM cost and design complexity | Preferred for systems needing real-time telemetry, dynamic voltage scaling, or multi-phase coordination |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for reliable operation with internal LDO biasing?
The IR3824MTRPBF requires ≥7.5 V on Vin to maintain internal LDO regulation. Below this, the LDO enters dropout mode, increasing quiescent current and potentially degrading reference accuracy. For inputs <7.5 V, connect an external 4.5–7.5 V supply to Vcc/LDO_Out and short Vin to that node per datasheet Section 5.2 Note 6.
How does the ILIM pin configuration affect over-current response time?
ILIM pin state selects the current-limit threshold (9/12/15 A) but does not alter response latency-the thermally compensated current limit triggers within 200 ns regardless of setting. Response time is fixed by internal comparator propagation delay and is independent of trip level selection.
Can the IR3824MTRPBF safely start into a pre-biased output without external circuitry?
Yes. The IR3824MTRPBF implements monotonic pre-bias start-up: it holds the high-side FET off until the output voltage decays below the target setpoint, then ramps up using controlled gate drive. No external diodes, resistors, or controllers are needed to prevent reverse current or output overshoot.
What is the recommended PCB layout practice for the PGnd and Gnd pins?
PGnd (Pin 11) must be connected directly to the power ground plane under the thermal pad with multiple vias; Gnd (Pins 4 & 17) should route separately to the signal ground plane. A split ground plane with a single bridge near the IC ensures low-noise reference while containing high di/dt return currents away from sensitive analog nodes.
