IRDC3856W

IRDC3856W SupIRBuck DESCRIPTION TM USER GUIDE FOR IR3856W Dual Sided EVALUATION BOARD The IR3856W is a synchronous buck converter, providing a compact, high performance and flexible solution in a small 4mmx5mm Power QFN package. Key features offered by the IR3856W include programmable soft-start ramp, precision 0.7V reference voltage, Power Good, thermal protection, programmable switching frequency, Sequence 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 IR3856W evaluation board. The guide describes operation and use of the evaluation board itself. Detailed application information for IR3856W is available in the IR3856W data sheet. BOARD FEATURES • Vin = +12V (+ 13.2V Max) • Vcc=+5V (5.5V Max) • Vout = +1.8V @ 0- 6A • Fs=600kHz • L= 1.0uH • Cin= 2x10uF (ceramic 1206) • Cout= 4x22uF (ceramic 0805) • Small footprint of design (16mmx8mm) Rev 0.0 08/10/2009 1 IRDC3856W CONNECTIONS and OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS A well regulated +12V input supply should be connected to VIN+ and VIN-. A maximum 6A 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. IR3856W 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-. The output can track a sequencing input at the start-up. For sequencing application, R16 should be removed and the external sequencing source should be applied between Seq. and Agnd.. External Enable signal can be applied to the board via exposed Enable pad and R18 should be removed for this purpose, For proper operation of IR3856W, the voltage at Seq. and Enable should always be kept below Vcc.

P_Good Signal Name Vin (+12V) Ground of Vin Vcc input Ground for Vcc input Ground of Vout Vout (+1.8V) Enable Sequence Input Power Good Signal LAYOUT The PCB is a 4-layer board. All of layers are 2 Oz. copper. The IR3856W SupIRBuck and input capacitors and some of the passive components are mounted on the top side of the board. The output caps, inductor, and the rest of passive components are located on the bottom side of the board. The total footprint of the design is 16mmx8mm, which is very compact. Power supply decoupling capacitors, the Bootstrap capacitor and feedback components are located close to IR3856W. 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.
