Product details
Overview
IR3829MTRPBF from Infineon Technologies is a 16A 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–1.2MHz 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 IR3829MTRPBF datasheet, IR3829MTRPBF pinout, IR3829MTRPBF application, or IR3829MTRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its PQFN 5×6 mm package, 16A continuous output, feed-forward line/load regulation, monotonic start-up, and programmable PGood threshold-critical for high-density telecom and storage power systems.
Technical Context
The IR3829 implements a voltage-mode PWM control architecture with internal error amplifier, feed-forward compensation path, and digitally controlled soft-start. Its dual-ground architecture separates PGnd (power stage return) from Gnd (signal reference), minimizing noise coupling in high-dI/dt applications.
Over-current protection uses thermal compensation across junction temperature (−40°C to +125°C) and offers three discrete ILIM settings via pin strapping (float/Vcc/PGnd). The PGood output is open-drain with programmable delay and threshold, synchronized to the internal power-good comparator monitoring Vsns.
Key Specifications

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP8765GQ-Z (Monolithic Power) | 16 A rated, but uses external bootstrap capacitor; no integrated bootstrap diode; 0.5% reference accuracy | Lacks pre-bias start-up and monotonic ramp; requires external UVLO circuitry | Preferred when lower BOM cost outweighs layout simplicity and robustness in non-critical systems |

FAQ
What is the minimum output voltage supported by IR3829MTRPBF?
The IR3829MTRPBF supports a minimum output voltage of 0.6 V ±0.6%, set by its internal precision reference. This value is fixed and not adjustable below 0.6 V. The feedback divider ratio determines actual VOUT, and operation below 0.6 V violates the error amplifier's common-mode input range and invalidates regulation accuracy.
Can IR3829MTRPBF operate without an external Vcc supply?
Yes. The IR3829MTRPBF includes an internal LDO that generates Vcc from PVin when PVin ≥7.5 V. Below 7.5 V, the LDO enters dropout; for reliable operation across 1.0 V–21 V input, an external 4.5–7.5 V bias applied to Vcc/LDO_Out is required, and Vin must be shorted to Vcc/LDO_Out in that configuration.
How is the switching frequency set on IR3829MTRPBF?
Switching frequency is set by connecting an external resistor between the Rt pin and Gnd. A 100 kΩ resistor yields ~600 kHz; values from 30 kΩ to 200 kΩ produce 1.2 MHz to 300 kHz respectively. The relationship is linear and specified in the datasheet's Rt vs. fSW graph, with ±10% tolerance over temperature and process variation.
What thermal management is required for 16 A continuous operation?
At 16 A, 12 VIN→1.0 VOUT, the IR3829MTRPBF dissipates ~3.3 W. With θJA = 30°C/W, ambient must stay ≤75°C for TJ ≤125°C. A 4-layer PCB with ≥2 oz copper, thermal vias under the exposed PGnd pad, and ≥2 in² copper pour reduces θJA to ~20°C/W, enabling full load in 85°C ambient.
