Product details
Overview
IR3839MTR1PBF from Infineon Technologies is a highly integrated 6A synchronous buck regulator with internal PWM controller, high-side and low-side MOSFETs, bootstrap diode, and LDO. It delivers regulated output from 0.6V to 0.9×Vin across 1.5–16V input, supports programmable 225–1650kHz switching, and enables precise margining via Vref pin in telecom and data center point-of-load systems.
For engineers reviewing the IR3839MTR1PBF datasheet, IR3839MTR1PBF pinout, IR3839MTR1PBF application, or IR3839MTR1PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 6A continuous load capability, hiccup-mode overcurrent protection, pre-bias startup, thermal shutdown, and compatibility with external synchronization and tracking functions.
Technical Context
The IR3839 implements a voltage-mode PWM control architecture with an internal error amplifier (100–120dB DC gain, 20–40MHz GBWP), digitally controlled soft-start (168–254kHz clock, 0.2mV/μs ramp), and dual-path feedback: standard resistor-divider (Fb) and external reference (Vref) for margining. Its oscillator uses an external Rt resistor to set frequency with ±10% tolerance.
Protection logic includes cycle-by-cycle current limiting via OCset pin (68–86μA threshold at 1.5MHz), thermal shutdown at 140°C with 20°C hysteresis, UVLO on Vcc (4.06–4.46V start) and Enable (1.14–1.36V start), and PGood monitoring with 256/Fs delay and ±15% output voltage window tracking both Vref and Vp inputs.

Pinout & Package
IR3839MTR1PBF is housed in a 5mm × 6mm Power QFN package with 17 pins and 0.9mm profile, featuring exposed thermal pad for enhanced heat dissipation. Pin numbering follows top-view layout with dedicated PGnd and Gnd separation for noise isolation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Fb (Pin 1) | Inverting input of error amplifier | Connects to output divider to set regulated voltage; determines loop stability with Comp network. |
| Vref (Pin 2) | External reference input | Enables output voltage margining; PGood tracks Vref during margining sequences. |
| Comp (Pin 3) | Error amplifier output | Interface for external RC compensation network to tune transient response and phase margin. |
| Rt (Pin 5) | Oscillator frequency set | Resistor-to-GND sets switching frequency; 59kΩ yields ~250kHz, 9.53kΩ yields ~1.5MHz. |
| OCset (Pin 6) | Current limit threshold | Resistor from OCset to SW sets peak inductor current limit; calibrated per switching frequency. |
| PGood (Pin 7) | Open-drain status output | Asserts high when output is within ±15% of target; tracks either Vref or Vp depending on configuration. |
| Sync (Pin 8) | External clock input | Accepts TTL/CMOS sync signal ≥20% above free-running frequency for system-wide timing alignment. |
| Vin (Pin 9) | LDO input supply | Provides bias for internal LDO; left floating if external 5V applied to Vcc/LDO_out. |
| Vcc/LDO_out (Pin 10) | Internal LDO output | Supplies 4.7–5.7V to control circuitry; bypassed when external bias is used. |
| PGnd (Pin 11) | Power ground return | Separate ground for MOSFET drivers to minimize switching noise coupling into control circuitry. |
| SW (Pin 12) | Switch node | Connects to inductor; carries high dv/dt switching waveform; requires tight layout to reduce EMI. |
| PVin (Pin 13) | Main power input | High-current input for power stage; decoupled with 1μF capacitor to PGnd. |
| Boot (Pin 14) | High-side gate driver supply | 100nF capacitor to SW generates floating bias for upper MOSFET gate drive. |
| Enable (Pin 15) | Startup control | UVLO-enabled enable with 1.14–1.36V rising threshold; supports resistor-divider input monitoring. |
| Vp (Pin 16) | Tracking reference input | Allows output to track another voltage rail; used in multi-rail sequencing applications. |
| Gnd (Pins 4 & 17) | Signal ground | Reference for error amplifier, oscillator, and logic; kept separate from PGnd for noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated MOSFET drivers + bootstrap diode | Eliminates need for external high-side gate driver and discrete bootstrap diode, reducing BOM count and layout area. |
| Pre-bias startup capability | Allows safe turn-on into pre-charged output capacitors without reverse current flow or output overshoot. |
| Internal digital soft-start | Programmable 10ms delay with linear 0.2mV/μs ramp prevents inrush current and stabilizes output during power-up. |
| Enhanced PGood with tracking | Monitors output against either Vref (for margining) or Vp (for tracking), with configurable thresholds and 256/Fs response delay. |
| Hiccup-mode overcurrent protection | Shuts down on fault, waits 4096 cycles, then retries-prevents thermal runaway while enabling automatic recovery. |

FAQ
What is the minimum recommended output capacitance for stable operation?
The IR3839MTR1PBF requires a minimum 22μF ceramic output capacitor with ≤5mΩ ESR for stable regulation across 0.6–5.0V outputs. Typical designs use parallel 22μF + 100μF low-ESR tantalum or polymer capacitors to meet transient response and ripple specifications under 6A load steps.
Can the internal LDO be disabled and replaced with an external 5V bias?
Yes-the internal LDO can be bypassed by applying a regulated 4.5–6.5V supply directly to the Vcc/LDO_out pin (Pin 10) and leaving Vin (Pin 9) floating. This reduces power loss and improves efficiency when an external clean 5V rail is available.
How does the OCset pin determine current limit threshold?
The OCset pin senses voltage across a resistor connected between OCset and SW. At 1.5MHz switching, a 68–86μA current flows into OCset, generating a voltage drop that sets the peak inductor current limit. The exact threshold scales inversely with switching frequency per datasheet curves.
Is the IR3839MTR1PBF RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes-IR3839MTR1PBF is lead-free, halogen-free, and fully RoHS-compliant per EU Directive 2011/65/EU. It meets JEDEC moisture sensitivity level 2 (MSL2) at 260°C and carries the "PbF" suffix confirming compliance.
