Product details
Overview
IR3853MTR1PBF from Infineon Technologies is a fully integrated 4A synchronous buck regulator with co-packaged high- and low-side MOSFETs, PWM controller, and bootstrap diode in a 4mm × 5mm Power QFN package. It delivers 0.7V–0.9×Vin output over 1.5V–21V input, achieves >95% peak efficiency at 1.8V/4A, and supports programmable switching frequency up to 1.5MHz for point-of-load power delivery in server VRMs.
For engineers reviewing the IR3853MTR1PBF datasheet, IR3853MTR1PBF pinout, IR3853MTR1PBF application, or IR3853MTR1PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its precision 0.7V ±1% reference, hiccup-mode overcurrent protection, pre-bias start-up capability, dedicated voltage monitoring input (Vsns), and thermal shutdown at 140°C junction temperature.
Technical Context
The IR3853 employs a current-mode PWM architecture with a high-bandwidth error amplifier (GBWP = 20–40 MHz, slew rate = 7–20 V/μs) and internal ramp compensation. Its oscillator supports external resistor (Rt) programming across 225–1650 kHz and synchronization via the Sync pin for multi-rail timing alignment.
Protection logic includes overvoltage detection on Vsns (trip at 110–120% Vref), PGood assertion at 80–90% Vref with 256/Fs delay, and thermal shutdown with 20°C hysteresis. The OCSet pin sets current limit threshold using an external resistor to SW, enabling adjustable hiccup-cycle fault response.

Pinout & Package
IR3853MTR1PBF uses a 17-pin Power QFN package with exposed thermal pad (4mm × 5mm). Pin 11 (PGnd) and Pin 17 (Gnd) are separated for optimal power/ground isolation; Pin 14 (Boot) requires a 0.1µF capacitor to SW; Pin 10 (Vcc) mandates ≥1µF high-frequency decoupling to PGnd.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Fb | Inverting input of error amplifier | Connects to output voltage divider to set regulated Vout; defines feedback loop stability point. |
| 2 Vsns | Voltage sense input for PGood and OVP | Monitors output rail independently for accurate power-good assertion and overvoltage fault detection. |
| 3 Comp | Error amplifier output | Interface for external RC compensation network to tune loop bandwidth and phase margin. |
| 4,17 Gnd | Signal ground reference | Provides low-noise return path for internal bias and control circuitry; must be isolated from PGnd. |
| 5 Rt | Oscillator frequency set | Resistor-to-Gnd sets switching frequency; 9.31kΩ yields ~1.5MHz, 59kΩ yields ~250kHz. |
| 6 SS/SD | Soft-start / shutdown control | Capacitor-to-Gnd programs startup time; <0.3V forces immediate shutdown. |
| 7 OCSet | Current limit threshold | Resistor from OCSet to SW sets hiccup-mode current trip level per design requirements. |
| 8 PGood | Open-drain power-good indicator | Asserts after Vout reaches 80–90% Vref with programmable delay; requires external pull-up to Vcc. |
| 9 Sync | External clock synchronization input | Enables phase-aligned operation with other POL regulators to reduce input ripple current. |
| 10 Vcc | Internal IC and driver supply | Must be decoupled with ≥1µF ceramic cap to PGnd; UVLO thresholds: 3.95V start / 3.65V stop. |
| 11 PGnd | Power ground for MOSFET drivers | Dedicated return for high-current switching paths; connects directly to PCB power plane. |
| 12 SW | Switch node | Connects to inductor; carries high dv/dt switching waveform; critical for layout EMI control. |
| 13 VIN | Main input voltage supply | Accepts 1.5–21V; requires local bulk and high-frequency input capacitors. |
| 14 Boot | High-side gate driver supply | 0.1µF bootstrap capacitor to SW generates floating voltage for top-FET drive. |
| 15 Enable | Input enable with UVLO | Turn-on threshold: 1.14–1.36V rising; turn-off: 0.9–1.06V falling; leakage <15µA. |
| 16 Seq | Power sequencing control | Two-resistor divider enables simultaneous or staggered startup with other rails in multi-voltage systems. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP2451DT-LF-Z | 3A rated, fixed 2MHz switching frequency, no Sync or Seq pins, smaller 3mm × 3mm QFN | Lacks multi-rail synchronization and sequencing; suited for cost-sensitive, lower-current consumer applications | Select when board space is critical and 3A output suffices; avoid for server or telecom where 4A and sequencing are required. |
| TPS54332DR | 3.5A rated, external MOSFETs required, adjustable frequency 200kHz–2.5MHz, no integrated bootstrap diode | Higher design complexity due to discrete FETs and gate drive components; better thermal scalability | Choose when thermal headroom exceeds 4A or when discrete FET selection is needed for specific Rds(on)/Qg trade-offs. |
Compared with MP2451DT-LF-Z and TPS54332DR, IR3853MTR1PBF uniquely integrates 4A MOSFETs, bootstrap diode, and sequencing/Sync functionality in a thermally optimized 4mm × 5mm package-making it optimal for high-density, multi-rail, industrial-grade POL systems requiring guaranteed 4A performance and robust fault handling.

FAQ
What is the minimum recommended output capacitance for stable operation at 4A?
Infineon specifies ≥220µF total output capacitance with ≤10mΩ ESR for 1.8V/4A operation at 600kHz. This ensures <1% output voltage deviation during 4A load transients and meets PGood assertion timing requirements per the datasheet's Vsns monitoring window.
Can IR3853MTR1PBF operate with a 3.3V input supply?
Yes - the device supports input voltages from 1.5V to 21V. At 3.3V input, maximum output is 2.97V (0.9×Vin), and efficiency remains >92% at 1.2V/4A per typical curves. Ensure Vcc is supplied externally or derived from VIN via internal LDO if Vcc <4.5V.
How is the overcurrent protection threshold set and verified?
The OCSet pin connects via resistor to SW to define current limit. For example, a 10kΩ resistor yields ~150µA IOCSET, corresponding to ~25A sensed current (calculated using RDS(on) and gain). Threshold is verified by measuring SW node current during overload and confirming hiccup-mode activation within 4096 cycles.
Does IR3853MTR1PBF require external compensation components?
Yes - an external RC network between Comp (Pin 3) and Fb (Pin 1) is mandatory for loop stability. Typical values are 10kΩ in series with 1nF, but exact values depend on output voltage, inductance, and desired phase margin; Infineon provides design calculators and SPICE models for validation.
