The IR3548 is a dual integrated PowIRstage® is a
with 2 pairs of co-packed control and synchronous
MOSFETs and an optimized dual phase driver. The
package is optimized internally for PCB layout, heat
transfer and package inductance. The integrated
driver is capable of operating as a Dual driver (2 PWM
controlling 2 phases), a Doubler driver (1 PWM
controlling 2 phases) or a Quad driver (1 PWM
controlling 4 phases in two IR3548s).
Up to 1.5MHz switching frequency enables high
performance
transient
response,
allowing
miniaturization of output inductors, as well as input
and output capacitors while maintaining industry
leading efficiency. Integrating two phases in one
package while still providing superior efficiency and
thermal performance, the IR3548 enables smallest
size and lower solution cost. The lower quiescent
current makes it suitable for next generation
VR12.6/VR12.6+ notebook applications.
The IR3548 uses IR’s latest generation of low
voltage MOSFET technology characterized by
ultra-low gate resistance (Rg) and charge (Qg) that
result in minimized switching losses. The synchronous
MOSFET optimizes conduction losses and features a
monolithic integrated Schottky to significantly reduce
dead-time and diode conduction and reverse recovery
losses.
The IR3548 is optimized specifically for CPU core
power delivery in 12Vin applications like servers,
certain notebooks, GPU and DR memory designs.

PIN DESCRIPTIONS
PIN #
PIN NAME
PIN DESCRIPTION
1, 2, 48, 49
VIN1
High current input supply pins for Phase 1. Recommended operating range is 4.25V to
17V. Connect at least a 10uF 1206 ceramic capacitor and a 0.1uF 0402 ceramic capacitor.
Place the capacitors as close as possible to VIN1 pins and PGND pins (46 and 47). The
0.1uF 0402 capacitor should be on the same side of the PCB as the IR3548.
3
VINDIV
Output containing divided VIN1 analog information, (VIN1-LGND) / 14 with respect to
LGND. The internal resistor divider is disconnected from VIN1 when EN1 is low.
EN1
Phase 1 ENABLE input in Dual mode and Phases 1 & 2 ENABLE input in Doubler or Quad
mode. Grounding this pin places Phase 1 in low quiescent mode as a Dual driver and sets
both phases in low quiescent mode as a Doubler or Quad driver. The pin is also used to
communicate VDRV UVLO, VCC UVLO or over temperature condition; EN1 is pulsed low
under the fault. The pin must be driven high with a pullup resistor or grounded and should
not be floated.
5
PWM1
The PWM1 is the control input for the first driver with either an IR ATL compatible signal or
an industry standard Tri-State signal. Connect this pin to the PWM output of the controller.
As a Dual driver, PWM1 controls gate drivers for Phase 1 (Q1 and Q2), and as a Doubler
or Quad driver, PWM1 controls both phases (Q1 and Q2 as well as Q3 and Q4).
6
VCC
Bias voltage for control logic. Connect this pin to a +5V bias supply. Place a high quality
low ESR 0.1uF ceramic capacitor from this pin to the LGND pin.
7
BOOT1
Floating bootstrap supply pin for the gate drive of control MOSFET Q1. Connect the
bootstrap capacitor between this pin and the SW1 pin. The bootstrap capacitor provides
the charge to turn on the control MOSFET Q1. See the Internal Bootstrap Device section
under DESCRIPTION for guidance in choosing the capacitor value.
8, 45
GATEL1
Gate connection of the Phase 1 synchronous MOSFET Q2. Use a short, wide and direct
PCB trace to connect the two pins.
9
LGND
Bias and reference ground. All control signals are referenced to this node.
10, 23, 24,
46, 47, 50
PGND
High current power ground. Note all pins are internally connected in the package. Provide
low resistance connections to the ground plane and respective output capacitors.
11
VDRV
Connect this pin to a separate supply voltage between 4.25V and 12V to vary the drive
voltage on both the control and synchronous MOSFETs. Place a high quality low ESR
ceramic capacitor from this pin to PGND pin (10).
12, 22
GATEL2
Gate connection of the Phase 2 synchronous MOSFET Q4. Use a short, wide and direct
PCB trace to connect the two pins.
BOOT2
Floating bootstrap supply pin for the gate drive of control MOSFET Q3. Connect the
bootstrap capacitor between this pin and the SW2 pin. The bootstrap capacitor provides
the charge to turn on the control MOSFET Q3. See the Internal Bootstrap Device section
under DESCRIPTION for guidance in choosing the capacitor value.
PWM2 / PWMIO1
Dual function pin. It is PWM2 in Dual mode. The PWM2 is the control input for the second
driver with either an IR ATL compatible signal or an industry standard Tri-State signal.
Connect this pin to the PWM output of the controller. As a DUAL driver, PWM2 controls
gate drivers for Phase 2. As a DOUBLER driver, the pin is un-used and is internally
disconnected. As a QUAD driver, the pin becomes PWMIO1, a CMOS input or output
depending on the configuration of the IR3548 as a slave or master repectively. Refer to
Table 1 on page 3 for more details.

13
14
15
16
6
EN2 / PWMIO2
Dual function pin. It is Phase 2 ENABLE input as a Dual driver. The pin must be driven high
or low in this mode and should not be floated. Grounding this pin places Phase 2 in low
quiescent mode. As a DOUBLER driver, the pin is un-used and is internally disconnected.
As a QUAD driver, the pin becomes PWMIO2, a CMOS input or output depending on the
configuration of the IR3548 as a slave or master respectively. Refer to Table 1 on page 3
for more details.
FUNCTION
FUNCTION pin used to select between Dual, Doubler and Quad driver modes. Voltage
lower than 0.8V sets Dual mode; voltage higher than 2.0V sets Doubler mode; Floating the
pin (or between 1.2V and 1.6V) sets Quad mode. This pin in combination with the MODE
pin also determines Master or Slave behavior in Quad mode. The pin status is sensed
when EN1 is enabled or VCC UVLO is cleared. Refer to Table 1 on page 3 for more
details.

PIN DESCRIPTION
MODE
PWM mode pin used to select either IR ATL input or industry tri-state PWM input. This pin
in combination with the FUNCTION pin also determines Master or Slave behavior in Quad

when VCC UVLO is cleared. Refer to Table 1 on page 3 for more details.
18-21
VIN2
High current input supply pins for Phase 2. Recommended operating range is 4.25V to
17V. Connect at least a 10uF 1206 ceramic capacitor and a 0.1uF 0402 ceramic capacitor.
Place the capacitors as close as possible to VIN2 pins and PGND pins (23 and 24). The
0.1uF 0402 capacitor should be on the same side of the PCB as the IR3548.
