Description
The iP2021C is a fully optimized solution for
high current synchronous buck dual-phase or
dual output applications. Board space and
design time are greatly reduced because most
of the components required for both power
stages are integrated into a single 11mm x
7.7mm power block. The only additional
components required for a complete converter
are a PWM controller, the output inductors,
and the input and output capacitors.
iPOWIR technology offers designers an
innovative board space saving solution for
applications requiring high power densities.
iPOWIR technology solutions are also
optimized internally for layout, heat transfer
and component selection.

Applying the Safe Operating Area (SOA) Curve
The SOA graph incorporates power loss and thermal resistance information in a way that allows one
to solve for maximum current capability in a simplified graphical manner. It incorporates the ability to
solve thermal problems where heat is drawn out through the printed circuit board and the top of the
case. Please refer to International Rectifier Application Note AN1047 for further details on using this
SOA curve in your thermal environment.
Procedure
1. Calculate (based on estimated Power Loss) or measure the Case temperature on the device
and the board temperature near the device (1mm from the edge).
2. Draw a line from Case Temperature axis to the PCB Temperature axis.
3. Draw a vertical line from the TX axis intercept to the SOA curve.
4. Draw a horizontal line from the intersection of the vertical line with the SOA curve to the Y-axis
(Output Current). The point at which the horizontal line meets the Y-axis is the SOA
continuous current.

Calculating Power Loss and SOA for Different Operating Conditions
To calculate Power Loss for a given set of operating conditions, the following procedure should be
followed:
Power Loss Procedure
1. Determine the maximum current and obtain the typical power loss from Figure 1
2. Use the normalized curves to obtain power loss values that match the operating conditions in
the application
3. The typical power loss under the application conditions is then the product of the power loss
from Figure 1 and the normalized values.
To calculate the Safe Operating Area (SOA) for a given set of operating conditions, the following
procedure should be followed:
SOA Procedure
1. Determine the maximum PCB and CASE temperature at the maximum operating current for
each iP2021C
2. Use the normalized curves to obtain SOA temperature adjustments that match the operating
conditions in the application
3. Then, add the sum of the SOA temperature adjustments to the TX axis intercept in Figure 2
Design Example
Operating Conditions:
Output Current = 50A
Input Voltage = 10V
Switching Freq = 750 kHz
Inductor = 0.2µH
Output Voltage = 1.3V
Calculating Typical Power Loss:
(Figure 1) Typical power loss = 12W
(Figure 3) Normalized power loss for input voltage 0.96
(Figure 5) Normalized power loss for output inductor 1.035
(Figure 6) Normalized power loss for switch frequency 0.93
Calculated Typical Power Loss 12W x 0.96 x 1.0 x 1.035 x 0.93 11.1W

PCB Temperature (ºC)
1. Draw a line from Case Temperature axis to the PCB Temperature axis.
2. Draw a vertical line from the TX axis intercept to the SOA curve.
3. Draw a horizontal line from the intersection of the vertical line with the SOA curve to the Y-axis
(Output Current). The point at which the horizontal line meets the Y-axis is the SOA
continuous current.
4. Draw a new vertical line from the TX axis by adding or subtracting the SOA adjustment
temperature from the original TX intercept point.
5. Draw a horizontal line from the intersection of the new vertical line with the SOA curve to the
Y-axis (Output Current). The point at which the horizontal line meets the Y-axis is the new
SOA continuous current.
The SOA adjustment indicates the part is still allowed to run at a continuous current of 53.5A.

Recommended PCB Layout
Figure 11 Top Copper and Solder-mask Layer of PCB Layout
PCB Layout Guidelines
The following guidelines are recommended to reduce the parasitic values and optimize overall
performance:
• All pads on the iP2021C footprint design need to be Solder-mask defined (see Figure 11).
Also refer to International Rectifier application notes AN1028 and AN1029 for further footprint
design guidance.
• Place as many vias around the Power pads (VIN1, VIN2, VSW1, VSW2 and PGND) for both
electrical and optimal thermal performance (see Figure 12).
• A minimum of three 10µF, X5R, 16V ceramic capacitors per phase of iP2021C are needed for
28A operation at 1MHz. This will result in the lowest loss due to input capacitor ESR.
• Placement of the ceramic input capacitors is critical to optimize switching performance. Place
all six ceramic capacitors (C1-C6) right underneath the iP2021C footprint (see Figure 12
Bottom Component Layer).
• Dedicate at least two layer for PGND only
• Duplicate the Power Nodes on multiple layers (refer to AN1029).
