45A Integrated PowIRstage®
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
Peak efficiency up to 94.0% at 1.2V
Integrated driver, control MOSFET, synchronous
MOSFET and Schottky diode
Input voltage (VIN) operating range of 4.5V to 15V
Separate LVCC and HVCC from 4.5V to 13.2V to
optimize converter efficiency
Output current capability of 45A DC
Switching frequency up to 1.0MHz
Programmable thermal flag threshold from 70°C to
150°C
5V VCC with under voltage lockout
Low quiescent current
Enable control
Selectable regular 3.3V tri-state PWM logic or IR
Active Tri-Level (ATL) PWM logic
PCB footprint compatible with most IR3551 pins
Efficient dual sided cooling
The IR3558 integrated PowIRstage® is a synchronous buck
gate driver co-packed with a control MOSFET and a
synchronous MOSFET with integrated Schottky diode. It is
optimized internally for PCB layout, heat transfer and
driver/MOSFET timing. Custom designed gate driver and
MOSFET combination enables higher efficiency at lower
output voltages required by cutting edge CPU, GPU and
DDR memory designs.
Up to 1.0MHz switching frequency enables fast transient
response, allowing miniaturization of output inductors as
well as input and output capacitors while maintaining high
efficiency. The IR3558’s superior efficiency enables
smallest size and lower solution cost. The IR3558 PCB
footprint is compatible with most pins of the IR3551 (50A).
The IR3558 provides two selectable PWM logic modes, the
3.3V tri-state PWM logic or International Rectifier’s Active
TM
Tri-Level (ATL) PWM logic. The ATL PWM logic eliminates
a dedicated Body-Braking® pin and improves the transient
response of the converter during load release.
The IR3558 provides a thermal flag output with
programmable threshold from 70°C to 150°C, which makes
it possible to adjust the thermal protection threshold
based on the PCB layout and thermal distribution.

Power Loss (W)
The IR3558 is optimized specifically for CPU core power
delivery in server applications. The ability to meet the
stringent requirements of the server market also makes
the IR3558 ideally suited to powering GPU and DDR
memory designs and other high current applications.

PIN DESCRIPTIONS

PIN NAME
PIN DESCRIPTION
1
VCC
Bias voltage for control logic. Connect VCC to a 5V supply. Connect a minimum 0.1uF
capacitor between VCC and LGND.
2
LVCC
Supply voltage for the low-side driver. Connect LVCC to a 4.5V to 13.2V supply. Connect
a minimum 0.1uF capacitor between LVCC and PGND (pin 4).
3
HVCC
Supply voltage for the high-side driver. Connect HVCC to a 4.5V to 13.2V supply.
Connect a minimum 0.1uF capacitor between HVCC and PGND (pin 4).
4, 14, 15, 27
PGND
Power ground of low-side MOSFET driver and the synchronous MOSFET.
5, 28
GATEL
Low-side MOSFET driver pins that can be connected to a test point in order to observe
the waveform.
6 – 13
SW
Switch node of synchronous buck converter.
VIN
High current input voltage connection. Recommended operating range is 4.5V to 15V.
Connect at least two 10uF 1206 ceramic capacitors and a 0.1uF 0402 ceramic capacitor.
Place the capacitors as close as possible to VIN pins and PGND pins (14-15). The 0.1uF
0402 capacitor should be on the same side of the PCB as the IR3558.
20
BOOST
Bootstrap capacitor connection. The bootstrap capacitor provides the charge to turn on
the control MOSFET. Connect a minimum 0.22µF capacitor from BOOST to SW pin. Place
the capacitor as close to BOOST pin as possible and minimize the parasitic inductance of
the connection from the capacitor to SW pin. A 1Ω to 4Ω series resistor may be added
to slow down the SW rising and limit the surge current into the bootstrap capacitor on
start-up.
21
OT#
Open drain output of the phase fault circuits. Connect to an external pull-up resistor.
Output is low when an over temperature condition inside the device is detected.
22
PWM
PWM control input. Connect this pin to the PWM output of a controller that outputs
either a 3.3V tri-state PWM signal or a 1.8V International Rectifier’s Active Tri-Level
PWM signal.
23
EN
Enable control. 3.3V logic level input. Pulling this pin high to enable the device and
grounding it to shut down both MOSFETs and enter low quiescent mode.
24
LGND
Signal ground. Driver control logic, analog circuits and IC substrate are referenced to
this pin.
25
MODE
PWM mode selection. Grounding this pin to select the regular 3.3V tri-state PWM logic
or connecting it to VCC to select International Rectifier’s Active Tri-Level PWM logic.
26
OTSET
Over temperature set. The default is 150°C when this pin is floated. A resistor from this
pin to ground programs the over temperature threshold from 70°C to 150°C. See “Over
Temperature Threshold Set Resistor ROTSET” Section for the resistor selection details.
