IRDC3831

IRDC3831 SupIRBuck DESCRIPTION TM USER GUIDE FOR IR3831 EVALUATION BOARD The IR3831 is a synchronous buck converter, providing a compact, high performance and flexible solution in a small 5mmx6mm Power QFN package. Key features offered by the IR3831 include programmable soft-start ramp, Power Good, thermal protection, programmable switching frequency, tracking input, enable input, input under-voltage lockout for proper start-up, and pre-bias start-up. An output over-current protection function is implemented by sensing the voltage developed across the on-resistance of the synchronous rectifier MOSFET for optimum cost and performance. This user guide contains the schematic and bill of materials for the IR3831 evaluation board. The guide describes operation and use of the evaluation board itself. Detailed application information for IR3831 is available in the IR3831 data sheet.

A maximum ±8A load should be connected to VOUT+ and VOUT-. The connection diagram is shown in Fig. 1 and inputs and outputs of the board are listed in Table I. IR3831 has two input supplies, one for biasing (Vcc) and the other as input voltage (Vin). Separate supplies should be applied to these inputs. Vcc input should be a well regulated 4.5V-5.5V supply and it would be connected to Vcc+ and Vcc-. If single 12V application is required, connect R7 ( zero Ohm resistor) which enables the on board bias regulator (see schematic). In this case there is no need of external Vcc supply. The output tracks VDDQ input. The value of R14 and R28 can be selected to provide the desired ratio between the output voltage and the tracking input. For proper operation of IR3831, the voltage at Vp pin should not exceed Vcc. Table I.

All of layers are 2 Oz. copper. The IR3831 SupIRBuck and all of the passive components are mounted on the top side of the board. Power supply decoupling capacitors, the Bootstrap capacitor and feedback components are located close to IR3831. The feedback resistors are connected to the output voltage at the point of regulation and are located close to the SupIRBuck. To improve efficiency, the circuit board is designed to minimize the length of the on-board power ground current path. 02/10/09 2 IRDC3831 Connection Diagram Vin GND Enable Vp GND VDDQ AGND Vo PGood SS Vcc GND Fig. 1: Connection diagram of IR383x evaluation boards 02/10/09 3 IRDC3831 Fig. 2: Board layout, top overlay Fig. 3: Board layout, bottom overlay 02/10/09 4 IRDC3831 AGND Plane PGND Plane Single point connection between AGND and PGND.

The minimum lead to lead spacing should be ≥ 0.2mm to minimize shorting. Lead land length should be equal to the maximum part lead length + 0.3 mm outboard extension. The outboard extension ensures a large and inspectable toe fillet. The pad lands (the 4 big pads other than the 11 IC pins) length and width should be equal to maximum part pad length and width. However, the minimum metal to metal spacing should be no less than 0.17mm for 2 oz. Copper; no less than 0.1mm for 1 oz. Copper and no less than 0.23mm for 3 oz. Copper. 02/10/09 IRDC3831 Solder Resist It is recommended that the lead lands are Non Solder Mask Defined (NSMD). The solder resist should be pulled away from the metal lead lands by a minimum of 0.025mm to ensure NSMD pads. The land pad should be Solder Mask Defined (SMD), with a minimum overlap of the solder resist onto the copper of 0.05mm to accommodate solder resist mis-alignment. Ensure that the solder resist in between the lead lands and the pad land is ≥ 0.15mm due to the high aspect ratio of the solder resist strip separating the lead lands from the pad land. 02/10/09 IRDC3831 Stencil Design • The Stencil apertures for the lead lands should be approximately 80% of the area of the lead lads. Reducing the amount of solder deposited will minimize the occurrences of lead shorts. If too much solder is deposited on the center pad the part will float and the lead lands will be open. The maximum length and width of the land pad stencil aperture should be equal to the solder resist opening minus an annular 0.2mm pull back to decrease the incidence of shorting the center land to the lead lands when the part is pushed into the solder paste. • 02/10/09 IRDC3831 BOTTOM VIEW IR WORLD HEADQUARTERS: 233 Kansas St., El Segundo, California 90245, USA Tel: (310) 252-7105 TAC Fax: (310) 252-7903 This product has been designed and qualified for the Consumer market.
