Product details
Overview
IR3828MTRPBF from Infineon Technologies is a 10A 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 programmable 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 IR3828MTRPBF datasheet, IR3828MTRPBF pinout, IR3828MTRPBF application, or IR3828MTRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its PQFN 4mm×5mm package, monotonic start-up, precision 0.6V±0.6% reference, pre-bias start-up capability, and integrated drivers eliminating external gate drive components.
Technical Context
The IR3828 implements a voltage-mode PWM control architecture with feed-forward line regulation and internal digital soft-start. Its error amplifier uses Fb as inverting input and Comp as compensation node, enabling stable loop design across wide load and line variations.
Switching operation relies on bootstrapped high-side drive (Boot–SW capacitor), separate power ground (PGnd) for MOSFET drivers, and Vsns-based over-voltage monitoring. ILIM pin selects current limit thresholds via floating/Vcc/PGnd connection, while PGood provides open-drain power-good signaling with external pull-up.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 10A continuous - supports high-density server and telecom POL rails without external current sharing. |
| Input Voltage Range | 1.0V to 21V - enables single-rail operation from 5V/12V/19V inputs and compatibility with intermediate bus architectures. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.6V to 0.86×Vin - allows precise core voltage scaling for CPUs/FPGAs while maintaining regulation margin at light loads. |
| Switching Frequency | 300kHz to 1.5MHz - permits optimization of inductor size vs. efficiency trade-off; 600kHz typical for 12V→1.0V conversion. |
| RDS(on) Top/Bottom | 16.4mΩ / 7.3mΩ (typ) - reduces conduction loss and thermal stress in 10A applications at 125°C junction temperature. |
| Reference Accuracy | 0.6V ±0.6% - ensures ±3.6mV absolute output tolerance critical for sub-1V ASIC core supplies. |
| Junction Temp Range | −40°C to +125°C - validated for industrial and telecom equipment operating under sustained thermal load. |
Pinout & Package
PQFN 4mm × 5mm, 17-pin, exposed thermal pad (PGnd-connected), RoHS-compliant, lead-free finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Fb | Inverting feedback input | Connects to resistor divider output; sets regulated VOUT with 0.6V reference; determines closed-loop stability. |
| 3 Comp | Error amplifier output | Interface for Type II/III compensation network; directly controls PWM duty cycle based on Fb error. |
| 5 Rt | Frequency programming input | Resistor-to-GND sets free-running fSW; 100kΩ yields ~600kHz, enabling EMI-aware layout tuning. |
| 6 ILIM | Current limit select | Floating = 10A, tied to Vcc = 12A, tied to PGnd = 8A - configures OCP threshold without external sensing resistors. |
| 7 PGood | Open-drain power-good output | Asserts high after soft-start and VOUT within ±10%; requires external pull-up to ≤Vcc for sequencing logic. |
| 8 Vsns | OVP and PGood sense | Monitors output rail independently of Fb; triggers fast shutdown if VOUT exceeds 115% nominal. |
| 9 Vin | LDO input supply | Bias source for internal 5V LDO; must be decoupled with 1.0µF ceramic; shorted to Vcc when external bias used. |
| 10 Vcc/LDO_Out | LDO output / external bias input | Supplies internal circuitry; accepts 4.5–7.5V external rail to bypass LDO and improve efficiency at low PVin. |
| 11 PGnd | Power ground return | Dedicated low-impedance path for high-current MOSFET drivers; must connect to system power plane, not signal GND. |
| 12 SW | Switch node | Drives external inductor; experiences full PVin–VOUT swing; requires tight layout with minimal loop area. |
| 13 PVin | Main power stage input | High-current input for MOSFET bridge; rated up to 21V DC; requires bulk and high-frequency input capacitance. |
| 14 Boot | High-side gate driver supply | Charged via 100nF capacitor to SW; sustains top-FET gate drive during 100% duty cycle; max 33V rating. |
| 15 Enable | UVLO-capable enable input | Active-high; resistor divider from PVin enables input undervoltage lockout; threshold ≈1.2V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated MOSFET drivers + bootstrap diode | Eliminates need for external gate drivers and discrete bootstrap diodes, reducing BOM count and PCB footprint by ≥4 components. |
| Thermally compensated over-current protection | Adjusts current limit threshold with junction temperature to maintain consistent fault response across −40°C to +125°C ambient. |
| Enhanced pre-bias start-up | Allows safe turn-on into pre-charged output capacitors without reverse current flow or output voltage overshoot. |
| Monotonic start-up | Guarantees output voltage ramps only upward during soft-start, preventing glitches in downstream logic powered from same rail. |
| Programmable power-good output | Configurable delay and accuracy via external RC on Vsns; supports multi-rail sequencing in complex systems. |

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) | 6A rated, smaller 3mm×3mm QFN, no integrated bootstrap diode, requires external bootstrap cap routing. | Lower current capacity; lacks pre-bias start-up and monotonic ramp; suitable for cost-sensitive mid-range networking. | Select when board space is critical and full 10A capability is unnecessary; verify external bootstrap implementation. |
| TPS546D24RUKR (TI) | 10A, PMBus-enabled, 4mm×4mm QFN, supports digital telemetry and adaptive voltage scaling. | Requires I²C interface and firmware integration; adds telemetry but increases system complexity. | Select when remote monitoring, dynamic voltage scaling, or multi-rail coordination via PMBus is required. |
Compared with MP8765GQ-Z and TPS546D24RUKR, the IR3828MTRPBF offers higher integration (integrated bootstrap diode, LDO, drivers), simpler analog configuration, and proven robustness in high-reliability server/telecom deployments without digital overhead.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for reliable operation of IR3828MTRPBF?
The IR3828MTRPBF supports a minimum PVin of 1.0V when externally biased via Vcc/LDO_Out, but for self-biased operation using the internal LDO, Vin must be ≥5V per datasheet Section 5.2. Below 5V, the internal LDO enters dropout, degrading regulation accuracy and current capability. At 1.0V–4.9V, an external 4.5–7.5V bias must be applied to Vcc/LDO_Out, and Vin must be shorted to that rail.
How does the ILIM pin configure the over-current protection threshold?
The ILIM pin selects one of three fixed current-limit thresholds: floating = 10A, connected to Vcc = 12A, connected to PGnd = 8A. This is implemented via internal resistor ladder and comparator circuitry-no external sensing resistor is needed. The setting affects both hiccup-mode OCP response time and peak current during startup and load transients.
Can IR3828MTRPBF operate with a pre-charged output capacitor?
Yes-the IR3828MTRPBF features enhanced pre-bias start-up that safely enables the regulator into an already charged output rail. During enable, it monitors Vsns and delays high-side FET turn-on until the output voltage falls below the target, preventing reverse current flow and avoiding output voltage collapse or overshoot.
What is the recommended layout practice for the PGnd and Gnd pins?
PGnd (Pin 11) must be connected directly to the main power ground plane with low-inductance, wide copper pour, separate from signal Gnd (Pins 4 and 17). Signal Gnd serves only the control circuitry and reference; mixing PGnd and Gnd paths causes noise coupling into the error amplifier and instability. A dedicated thermal pad under the package should also connect to PGnd.
