Product details
Overview
IRU3037ACSPBF from Infineon Technologies is a fixed-frequency voltage-mode synchronous PWM controller IC for buck DC-DC conversion, supporting 400 kHz switching, 500 mA peak gate drive, and dual N-channel MOSFET control in SOIC-8 package. It delivers precise 1.25 V reference (0.8 V for IRU3037A), under-voltage lockout on Vcc (4.2 V) and Vc (3.3 V), and latch-off short-circuit protection at 0.4 V output fault threshold - used in DDR memory Vtt source/sink rails.
For engineers reviewing the IRU3037ACSPBF datasheet, IRU3037ACSPBF pinout, IRU3037ACSPBF application, or IRU3037ACSPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include oscillator frequency (400 kHz), soft-start programmability via external capacitor, Fb input bias current (64 µA), UVLO hysteresis (0.2 V), and compatibility with logic-level N-MOSFETs such as IRF7313.
Technical Context
The IRU3037ACSPBF implements a voltage-mode PWM architecture with internal 400 kHz oscillator, precision 1.25 V error amplifier reference, and independent UVLO monitoring of both Vcc (4.2 V threshold) and Vc (3.3 V threshold). Its soft-start circuit sources 20 µA to charge an external capacitor, ramping output voltage linearly to prevent overshoot and limit inrush current.
Short-circuit protection latches off PWM outputs when feedback voltage drops below 0.4 V (IRU3037A-specific), while boost supply (Vc) must exceed output bus voltage by ≥4 V to drive high-side N-MOSFETs. The controller requires external compensation (Comp pin) and supports shutdown via SS/SD pin pulled below 0.5 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Oscillator Frequency | 400 kHz - sets fixed switching period for predictable EMI profile and inductor sizing. |
| Reference Voltage (Fb) | 1.25 V - defines output regulation setpoint via external resistor divider; enables 1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.3 V rail generation. |
| Vcc UVLO Threshold | 4.2 V - prevents operation until main supply stabilizes, avoiding erratic startup behavior. |
| Vc UVLO Threshold | 3.3 V - ensures high-side driver is powered sufficiently before enabling gate drive. |
| Fb Input Bias Current | 64 µA - impacts resistor divider accuracy; requires ≤1% tolerance resistors for <1% output error. |
| Peak Output Drive | 500 mA - sufficient to rapidly charge/discharge gate capacitance of dual N-MOSFETs like IRF7313. |
| Short-Circuit Trip Voltage | 0.4 V - triggers latch-off protection when output collapses due to load fault or sync-FET short. |
| Soft-Start Charge Current | 20 µA - determines ramp time via external capacitor (e.g., 0.1 µF → ~7.5 ms startup). |
Pinout & Package
IRU3037ACSPBF is housed in an 8-pin plastic SOIC NB (Small Outline Integrated Circuit, Narrow Body) package with standard 1.27 mm pitch and surface-mount footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Fb | Error amplifier inverting input | Connects to resistor divider output; regulates output voltage by comparing against 1.25 V internal reference. |
| 2 Vcc | Bias supply input | Powers internal logic and low-side driver; requires ≥1 µF high-frequency bypass to ground. |
| 3 LDrv | Low-side N-MOSFET gate driver output | Sinks/source up to 500 mA; directly drives gate of synchronous rectifier MOSFET. |
| 4 Gnd | Analog/digital ground reference | Mandatory low-impedance connection to PCB ground plane; decoupling caps tie here. |
| 5 HDrv | High-side N-MOSFET gate driver output | Drives upper switch gate; requires external bootstrap diode (e.g., BAT54) for negative-current handling. |
| 6 Vc | Boost supply input | Must be ≥4 V above output bus voltage; powers high-side driver; bypass with ≥1 µF capacitor. |
| 7 Comp | Error amplifier compensation node | External RC network sets loop stability; critical for transient response and phase margin. |
| 8 SS/SD | Soft-start / shutdown control | Internal 20 µA current source charges external cap for soft-start; pulled <0.5 V to force shutdown. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 400 kHz switching frequency | Enables consistent filter design and predictable EMI filtering without external timing components. |
| Programmable soft-start | 20 µA internal current source allows precise control of output ramp rate using one external capacitor. |
| Latch-off short-circuit protection | Shuts down PWM outputs permanently upon 0.4 V Fb fault detection, preventing thermal runaway. |
| Dual UVLO monitoring | Independent lockout on Vcc (4.2 V) and Vc (3.3 V) ensures both power domains are valid before operation. |
| 500 mA peak gate drive capability | Supports fast turn-on/turn-off of logic-level N-MOSFETs (e.g., IRF7313) without external drivers. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS5430DR | 3.5 V–36 V input range; integrated high-side MOSFET; 3.5 A output; no Vc boost requirement. | Eliminates need for external high-side FET and bootstrap circuit; suited for simpler, lower-current designs. | Choose when board space is constrained and output current ≤3.5 A; not suitable for >4 A or ultra-low-Vout (<1.2 V) rails. |
| ISL6208CRZ | 600 kHz switching; 3 A integrated drivers; supports CPU VRM 10.x protocols; no latch-off short protection. | Designed for mobile CPU core supplies with dynamic VID interface; lacks dedicated latch-off fault mode. | Prefer for notebook CPU power delivery where VID programming and fast transient response are prioritized over latch safety. |
Compared with TPS5430DR and ISL6208CRZ, IRU3037ACSPBF offers superior latch-off short-circuit protection and explicit Vc boost control for high-efficiency discrete N-MOSFET designs, making it optimal for DDR Vtt and industrial FPGA rails where reliability under fault conditions is critical.

FAQ
What is the function of the Vc pin on IRU3037ACSPBF?
The Vc pin supplies power to the high-side gate driver and must be at least 4 V higher than the output bus voltage to ensure full enhancement of the upper N-MOSFET. It requires a minimum 1 µF high-frequency ceramic capacitor to ground for stable peak current delivery during switching transitions.
How does the IRU3037ACSPBF implement short-circuit protection?
It monitors the Fb pin voltage and latches off all PWM outputs when Fb falls below 0.4 V - corresponding to a severe output collapse (e.g., shorted load or failed sync-FET). Recovery requires cycling Vcc or resetting the SS/SD pin, ensuring fault isolation.
Can IRU3037ACSPBF operate with a 3.3 V input supply?
No - its Vcc UVLO threshold is 4.2 V, and Vc UVLO is 3.3 V; both supplies must exceed their respective thresholds before operation begins. A 3.3 V-only input cannot power the controller reliably and will prevent startup.
What is the purpose of the SS/SD pin beyond soft-start?
SS/SD serves dual function: during startup, it accepts an internal 20 µA current to charge an external capacitor for controlled output ramp-up; during operation, pulling it below 0.5 V forces immediate shutdown - turning off the control FET and turning on the sync FET to discharge the output safely.
