TM
HIGHLY INTEGRATED 10A
Description
The IR3838
SupIRBuck
TM
is an easy-to-use, fully
integrated and highly efficient DC/DC regulator.
The onboard PWM controller and MOSFETs
make IR3838 a space-efficient solution, providing
accurate power delivery for low output voltage
applications.
IR3838 is a versatile regulator which offers
programmability of switching frequency and
current limit while operates in wide input and
output voltage range.
The switching frequency is programmable from
250kHz to 1.5MHz for an optimum solution.
It also features important protection functions,
such as Pre-Bias startup, hiccup current limit and
thermal shutdown to give required system level
security in the event of fault conditions.
IR3838 offers margining capability through Vref
pin. During the margining operation, PGood
tracks Vref via feedback to ensure correct status
of the output voltage.
The internal LDO enables the device to operate
from a single supply. This internal LDO can be
bypassed when an external bias voltage is
available.

Description
Inverting input to the error amplifier. This pin is connected directly to the
output of the regulator via resistor divider to set the output voltage and
provide feedback to the error amplifier
External reference voltage, can be used for margining operation. A
100nF capacitor should be connected between this pin and Gnd.
Output of error amplifier. An external resistor and capacitor network is
typically connected from this pin to Fb to provide loop compensation
Signal ground for internal reference and control circuitry
Use an external resistor from this pin to Gnd to set the switching
frequency
Current limit set point. A resistor from this pin to SW pin will set the
current limit threshold
Power Good status pin. Output is open drain. Connect a pull up resistor
from this pin to Vcc
External Synchronization, this pin is used to synchronize the device’s
switching with an external clock. It is recommended that the external
Sync clock be set to 20% above the free-running frequency. If not used,
this pin can be left floating.
Input voltage for Internal LDO. A 1.0µF capacitor should be connected
between this pin and PGnd. If external supply is connected to
Vcc/LDO_out pin, this pin should be left floating.
Input Bias Voltage, output of internal LDO. Place a minimum 2.2µF cap
from this pin to PGnd
Power Ground. This pin serves as a separated ground for the MOSFET
drivers and should be connected to the system’s power ground plane.
Switch node. This pin is connected to the output inductor
Input voltage for power stage
Supply voltage for high side driver, a 100nF capacitor should be
connected between this pin and SW pin.
Enable pin to turn on and off the device, if this pin is connected to PVin
pin through a resistor divider, input voltage UVLO can be implemented.
Input to error amplifier for tracking purposes
Signal ground for internal reference and control circuitry
