Product details
Overview
IR3843WMTRPBF from Infineon Technologies is a highly integrated 2A synchronous buck regulator with co-packaged high- and low-side MOSFETs, PWM controller, and bootstrap diode in a 5mm × 6mm Power QFN package. It delivers precise 0.7V–0.9×Vin output over 1.5V–16V input, supports programmable 225–1650kHz switching frequency, and features hiccup current limit, PGood, soft-start, and -40°C to 125°C junction operation - deployed in server point-of-load rails.
For engineers reviewing the IR3843WMTRPBF datasheet, IR3843WMTRPBF pinout, IR3843WMTRPBF application, or IR3843WMTRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its integrated power stage, ±1% 0.7V reference accuracy, programmable OCSET threshold, thermal shutdown at 140°C, and Seq pin for voltage-tracking sequencing in multi-rail systems.
Technical Context
The IR3843WMTRPBF implements a constant-on-time (COT) or voltage-mode control architecture with a high-bandwidth error amplifier (GBWP: 20–40MHz, slew rate: 7–20V/μs) and internal ramp generator (1.8Vp-p, 0.6V offset). Its dual ground structure separates signal (GND) and power (PGND) return paths to minimize noise coupling into feedback and control loops.
Switching frequency is set via an external resistor on the Rt pin (225–1650kHz range), while OCSet pin configures current limit by sensing SW node voltage drop across an external resistor. The Seq pin enables tracking-based startup with external resistor dividers, and the SS/SD pin provides both soft-start timing (via external capacitor) and active-low shutdown capability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | Continuous 2A load capability - supports stable regulation under full load without derating at Tj ≤ 125°C. |
| Input Voltage Range | 1.5V to 16V - accommodates wide-range intermediate bus voltages including 3.3V, 5V, 12V, and 15V systems. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.7V to 0.9×Vin - enables sub-1V core supplies (e.g., 0.7V–0.85V for ASIC/FPGA I/O) with tight regulation. |
| Reference Voltage | 0.7V ±1% (0°C–125°C) - ensures ±7mV absolute output tolerance for precision low-voltage rails. |
| Switching Frequency | 225kHz to 1650kHz - selectable via Rt pin resistor; higher frequencies allow smaller inductors and output capacitors. |
| Junction Temperature | -40°C to 125°C - rated for industrial and telecom environments with thermal shutdown at 140°C and 20°C hysteresis. |
| Package | 5mm × 6mm Power QFN, 0.9mm height, 15-pin - thermally enhanced layout with exposed PGND pad for efficient heat dissipation. |
Pinout & Package
IR3843WMTRPBF uses a 15-pin 5mm × 6mm Power QFN package with exposed thermal pad (PGND-connected) and 0.9mm profile. Pin 1 is Seq; pin 15 is GND (signal ground); pins 10 and 15 are both GND but serve distinct roles (signal vs. power return).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Seq | Sequencing reference input | Enables output voltage tracking during power-up using external resistor divider; connect to Vcc if unused. |
| 2 FB | Inverting error amplifier input | Connects to output voltage divider; sets regulated output via 0.7V reference; sensitive to noise coupling. |
| 3 COMP | Error amplifier output | Drives external RC compensation network between COMP and FB to stabilize control loop dynamics. |
| 4,15 GND | Signal ground reference | Provides low-noise return for internal reference, E/A, and logic; must be isolated from PGND plane. |
| 5 Rt | Oscillator frequency set | Resistor-to-GND sets switching frequency; 9.31kΩ → 1.5MHz, 28.7kΩ → 500kHz, 59kΩ → 250kHz. |
| 6 SS/SD | Soft-start / shutdown control | Capacitor-to-GND sets ramp time; <0.3V forces immediate shutdown; open or pulled high enables operation. |
| 7 OCSet | Over-current threshold set | Resistor from OCSet to SW sets current limit; value scales linearly with sensed switch-node voltage drop. |
| 8 PGood | Power-good status output | Open-drain flag asserted when FB reaches 0.77–0.84V; requires external pull-up to Vcc. |
| 9 VCC | Internal IC supply | Powers control circuitry and gate drivers; requires ≥1μF high-frequency ceramic cap to PGND. |
| 10 PGND | Power ground return | Return path for high-side/low-side MOSFET drivers; must connect directly to PCB power ground plane. |
| 11 SW | Switch node | Connects to inductor; carries high dv/dt switching waveform; critical for EMI and layout integrity. |
| 12 VIN | Main input supply | Accepts 1.5–16V DC input; feeds high-side FET source and internal LDO for VCC generation. |
| 13 Boot | High-side driver supply | 0.1μF capacitor to SW generates floating bias for high-side gate drive; forward voltage ≤470mV @30mA. |
| 14 Enable | Enable/disable control | UVLO thresholds: 1.14–1.36V start, 0.9–1.06V stop; leakage <15μA at 3.3V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated power stage | Co-packaged top/bottom MOSFETs (RDS(on): 24.5/24.5 mΩ typ) eliminate external FET selection and layout complexity. |
| Programmable current limit | OCSet pin allows precise setting of over-current threshold independent of input/output conditions. |
| Enhanced pre-bias start-up | Allows safe turn-on into pre-charged output capacitors without reverse current or overshoot. |
| Thermal protection with hysteresis | Shuts down at 140°C junction temperature and restarts only after cooling by ≥20°C - prevents thermal cycling damage. |
| Tracking sequencing support | Seq pin enables synchronized ramp-up with other regulators using simple resistor-divider networks. |
Applications
| Server Core Voltage Regulation | Storage Controller Power Rail |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP2315DJ-LF-Z | Fixed 500kHz frequency, no OCSet programmability, lower 0.8V reference (±2%), 3A rating | Lacks tracking (Seq) and soft-start programmability; suited for cost-sensitive fixed-frequency designs | Select when simplicity and higher current margin outweigh need for sequencing or precision reference. |
| TPS54202DDCR | Adjustable frequency (200kHz–1.7MHz), 0.8V reference (±1%), no integrated bootstrap diode, 2A rating | Requires external bootstrap diode; lacks hiccup current limit and pre-bias start-up robustness | Choose when design flexibility (e.g., external compensation) is prioritized over integration and fault resilience. |
Compared with MP2315DJ-LF-Z and TPS54202DDCR, IR3843WMTRPBF uniquely combines programmable OCSet, Seq-based tracking, integrated bootstrap diode, and ±1% 0.7V reference - making it optimal for space-constrained, multi-rail telecom and server PoL where sequencing integrity and transient immunity are critical.

FAQ
What is the minimum recommended output capacitance for stable operation?
The IR3843WMTRPBF datasheet specifies a minimum 22μF ceramic output capacitor with ≤5mΩ ESR for stability across the full 0.7V–0.9×Vin range. Lower ESR values improve transient response but require careful attention to zero placement in the compensation network tied to the COMP pin.
Does IR3843WMTRPBF support forced PWM or power-save mode?
No - the IR3843WMTRPBF operates exclusively in continuous conduction mode (CCM) with fixed-frequency voltage-mode control. It does not feature pulse-skipping, burst-mode, or forced-PWM selection; light-load efficiency is maintained via low quiescent current (500μA standby) and optimized MOSFET RDS(on).
Can the Seq pin be used for power-down sequencing?
No - the Seq pin is unidirectional and designed solely for power-up tracking via resistor-divider networks. It does not monitor or control shutdown behavior; sequencing during power-down requires external logic or dedicated supervisor ICs coordinating the Enable pin.
Is the BOOT-to-SW voltage rating sufficient for 12V input operation?
Yes - the absolute maximum BOOT-to-SW rating is -0.3V to Vcc+0.3V (≤8.3V), and the typical bootstrap capacitor charges to ~5V above SW. At 12V input, SW swings from ~0V to ~12V, so BOOT reaches ~17V relative to GND - well within the 33V absolute max rating for the BOOT pin itself.
