A RC network has to be connected between the FB  
pin and the COMP pin to form a feedback  
compensator. The goal of the compensator design  
is to achieve a high control bandwidth with a phase  
margin of 45° or above. The high control bandwidth  
is beneficial for the loop dynamic response, which  
helps to reduce the number of output capacitors, the  
PCB size and the cost. A phase margin of 45° or  
higher is desired to ensure the system stability. For  
most applications, a gain margin of -10dB or higher  
is preferred to accommodate component variations  
and to eliminate jittering/noise. The proprietary PWM  
modulator in IR3823 significantly reduces the PWM  
jittering, allowing the control bandwidth in the range  
of 1/10th to 1/5th of the switching frequency.  
THEORY OF OPERATION  
DESCRIPTION  
The IR3823 SupIRBuck® is a 3A easy-to-use, fully  
integrated and highly efficient synchronous Buck  
regulator intended for Point-Of-Load (POL)  
applications. It includes two IR HEXFETs with low  
R
DS(on). The bottom FET has an integrated  
monolithic schottky diode in place of a conventional  
body diode.  
The IR3823 provides precisely regulated output  
voltage programmed via two external resistors from  
0.6V to 0.86×Vin. It uses voltage mode control  
employing a proprietary PWM modulator with input  
voltage feedforward. That provides excellent noise  
immunity, easy loop compensation design, and good  
line transient response.  
Two types of compensators are commonly used:  
Type II (PI) and Type III (PID), as shown in Figure 5.  
The selection of the compensation type is  
dependent on the ESR of the output capacitors.  
Electrolytic capacitors have relatively higher ESR. If  
the ESR pole is located at the frequency lower than  
the cross-over frequency, FC, the ESR pole will help  
to boost the phase margin. Thus a type II  
compensator can be used. For the output capacitors  
with lower ESR such as ceramic capacitors, type III  
compensation is often desired.  
The IR3823 has an internal Low Dropout (LDO)  
Regulator, allowing single supply operation without  
resorting to an external bias supply voltage. To  
further improve the light load efficiency, the internal  
LDO can be bypassed by using an external bias  
supply. This mode allows the input bus voltage  
range extended down to 1.0V.  
The IR3823 features programmable switching  
frequency from 300kHz to 1.5MHz, three selectable  
soft-start time, and smooth synchronization to an  
external clock. The other important functions include  
thermally compensated over current protection,  
output over voltage protection, pre-bias start-up,  
enable with input voltage monitoring, PGood output  
and thermal shut-down.  
VOLTAGE LOOP COMPESNATION DESIGN  
(a)  
The IR3823 uses PWM voltage mode control. The  
output voltage of the POL, sensed by a resistor  
divider, is fed into an internal Error Amplifier (E/A).  
The output of the E/R is then compared to an  
internal ramp voltage to determine the pulse width of  
the gate signal for the control FET. The amplitude of  
the ramp voltage is proportional to Vin so that the  
bandwidth of the voltage loop remains almost  
constant for different input voltages. This feature is  
called input voltage feedfoward. It allows the  
feedback loop design independent of the input  
voltage. Please refer to the next section for more  
information.

function can also minimize impact on output voltage  
from fast Vin change. The maximum Vin slew rate is  
within 1V/µs.

compensation, please refer to the application note

Buck Converter with Voltage-Mode Error-Amplifier”.  
SupBuck design tool is also available at www.irf.com  
providing the reference design based on user’s  
design requirements.  
If an external bias voltage is used as Vcc, Vin pin  
should be connected to Vcc/LDO_out pin instead of  
PVin pin. Then the feedforward function is disabled.  
The control loop compensation might need to be  
adjusted.

UNDER-VOLTAGE LOCKOUT AND POR

FLC   
2Lo Co  
The Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO) circuit monitors  
the voltage of VCC/LDO_Output pin and the Enable  
pin. It assures that the MOSFET driver outputs  
remain off whenever either of these two signals is  
below the set thresholds. Normal operation resumes  
once both VCC/LDO_Output and En voltages rise  
above their thresholds.  
FESR is the ESR zero of the output capacitor.

The POR (Power On Ready) signal is generated  
when all these signals reach the valid logic level  
(see system block diagram). When the POR is  
asserted, the soft start sequence starts (see soft  
start section).  
F0 is the cross-over frequency of the closed voltage  
loop and FS is the switching frequency.  
INPUT VOLTAGE FEEDFORWARD  
Input voltage feedforward is an important feature,  
because it can keep the converter stable and  
preserve its load transient performance when Vin  
varies in a large range. In IR3823, feedforward  
function is enabled when Vin pin is connected to PVin  
pin and Vin>5.5V. In this case, the internal low  
dropout (LDO) regulator is used. The PWM ramp  
amplitude (Vramp) is proportionally changed with Vin  
to maintain the ratio Vin/Vramp almost constant  
throughout Vin variation range (as shown in Figure  
6). Thus, the control loop bandwidth and phase  
margin can be maintained constant. Feed-forward  
ENABLE/EXTERNAL PVIN MONITOR  
The IR3823 has an Enable function providing  
another level of flexibility for start-up. The Enable pin  
has  
a
precise threshold, which is internally  
monitored by Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO) circuit.  
If the voltage at Enable pin is below its UVLO  
threshold, both high-side and low-side FETs are off.  
When Enable pin is below its UVLO, Over-Voltage  
Protection (OVP) is disabled, and PGood stays low.

IR3823  
The Enable pin should not be left floating. A pull-  
down resistor in the range of several kilo ohms is  
recommended to connect between the Enable Pin  
and Gnd.  
INTERNAL LOW DROPOUT REGULATOR  
The IR3823 has an internal Low Dropout Regulator  
(LDO), offering a VCC voltage of 5.1V. The internal  
LDO is beneficial for single rail (supply) applications,  
where no external bias supplies will be needed. For  
these applications, Vin pin should be connected to  
PVin and VCC/LDO_Out pin is left floating as shown  
in Figure 9. 1.0μF and 2.2μF ceramic bypass  
capacitors should be placed close to Vin pin and  
VCC/LDO_Out pin respectively.  
In addition to logical inputs, the Enable pin can be  
used to implement precise input voltage UVLO. As  
shown in Figure 7, the input of the Enable pin is  
derived from the PVin voltage by a set of resistive  
divider, R1 and R2. By selecting different divider  
ratios, users can program the UVLO threshold  
voltage. The bus voltage UVLO is a very desirable  
feature. It prevents the IR3823 from regulating at  
PVin lower than the desired voltage level. Figure 8  
shows the start-up waveform with the input UVLO  
voltage set at 10V.  
Figure 9: Internally Biased Single-Rail Configuration  
When Vin drops below 5.5V, the internal LDO enters  
the dropout mode. Figure 10 shows the  
VCC/LDO_Out voltage for Vin=PVin=5V with switching  
frequency of 600kHz and 1500kHz respectively.  
Alternatively, if the input bus voltage, PVin, is in the  
range of 4.5V to 7.5V, VCC/LDO_Out pin can be  
directly connected to PVin pin to bypass the internal  
LDO and therefore to avoid the voltage drop on the  
internal LDO. This configuration is illustrated in  
Figure 11.  
Figure 7: Implementation of Input Under-Voltage  
Lockout (UVLO) using Enable Pin  
Figure 12 shows the configuration using an external  
VCC voltage. With this configuration, the input voltage  
range can be extended down to 1.0V. Please note  
that the input feedforward function is disabled for  
this configuration. The feedback compensation  
needs to be adjusted accordingly.  
It should be noted as the VCC voltage decreases, the  
efficiency and the over current limit will decrease  
due to the increase of RDS(ON). Please refer to the  
section of the over current protection for more  
information.

SOFT-START  
The IR3823 has an internal digital soft-start circuit to  
control the output voltage rise time, and to limit the  
current surge at the start-up. To ensure correct start-

and Vcc voltages rise above their UVLO thresholds

The output starts in an asynchronous fashion and

Bias condition at start up. The gate signal of the  
control FET is determined by the loop compensator.  
The sync FET always starts with a narrow pulse  
width (12.5% of a switching period) and gradually  
increases its duty cycle with a step of 12.5% until it  
reaches the steady state value. The number of these  
startup pulses for each step is 16 and it’s internally

OVER CURRENT PROTECTION  
The over current (OC) protection is performed by  
sensing current through the RDS(on) of the  
Synchronous MOSFET. This method enhances the  
converter’s efficiency, reduces cost by eliminating a  
current sense resistor and any layout related noise  
issues. The current limit is pre-set internally and is  
compensated according to the IC temperature. So at  
different ambient temperature, the over-current trip  
threshold remains almost constant.

Detailed operation of OCP is explained as follows.  
Over Current Protection circuit senses the inductor  
current flowing through the Synchronous MOSFET  
closer to the valley point. OCP circuit samples this  
current for 40nsec typically after the rising edge of  
the PWM set pulse, which has a width of 12.5% of  
the switching period. The PWM pulse starts at the  
falling edge of the PWM set pulse. This makes valley  
current sense more robust as current is sensed  
close to the bottom of the inductor downward slope  
where transient and switching noise are lower and  
helps to prevent false tripping due to noise and  
transient. An OC condition is detected if the load  
current exceeds the threshold, the converter enters  
Figure 15: Pre-Bias startup pulses  
SHUTDOWN  
IR3823 can be shut down by pulling the Enable pin  
below its 1.0V threshold. Both the high side and the  
low side drivers will be pulled low.  
OPERATING FREQUENCY  
The switching frequency can be programmed  
between 300kHz – 1200kHz by connecting an  
external resistor from Rt pin to Gnd. Rt can be  
calculated as follows.

into hiccup mode. PGood will go low and the internal  
soft start signal will be pulled low. The converter  
goes into hiccup mode with some hiccup blanking  
time as shown in Figure 16. The convertor stays in  
this mode until the over load or short circuit is  
removed. With different SS_Select configurations,  
the hiccup blanking time is different. Please refer to  
the electrical table for details. The actual DC output  
current limit point will be greater than the valley point  
by an amount equal to approximately half of peak to  
peak inductor ripple current.

OVER-VOLTAGE PROTECTION (OVP)  
Over-voltage protection in IR3823 is achieved by  
comparing FB pin voltage to a pre-set threshold.  
OVP threshold is set at 1.2×Vref. When FB pin  
voltage exceeds the over voltage threshold, an over  
voltage trip signal asserts after 2us (typ.) delay.  
Then the high side drive signal HDrv is turned off  
immediately, PGood flags low. The sync FET  
remains on to discharge the output capacitor. When  
the VFB voltage drops below the threshold, the sync  
FET turns off to prevent the complete depletion of  
the output capacitor. After that, HDrv remains off  
until a reset is performed by cycling either Vcc or  
Enable. Figure 19 shows the timing diagram for over  
voltage protection. Please note that OVP  
comparator becomes active only when the IR3823 is  
enabled.  
Figure 16: Timing Diagram for Hiccup OCP  
Over current limit is affected by the VCC voltage. For  
some single rail operations where Vin is 5V or less,  
the OCP limit will de-rated due to the drop of VCC  
voltage. Figure 17 and Figure 18 show the over  
current limit for two single rail applications with  
Vin=PVin=5V and Vin=PVin=VCC=4.5V respectively.

IR3823  
When an external clock is applied to Rt/Sync pin  
after the converter runs in steady state with its free-  
running frequency, a transition from the free-running  
frequency to the external clock frequency will  
happen. This transition is to gradually make the  
actual switching frequency equal to the external  
clock frequency, no matter which one is higher. On  
the contrary, when the external clock signal is  
removed from Rt/Sync pin, the switching frequency  
is also changed to free-running gradually. In order to  
minimize the impact from these transitions to output  
voltage, a diode is recommended to add between  
the external clock and Rt/Sync pin, as shown in  
Figure 20. Figure 21 shows the timing diagram of  
these transitions.  
POWER GOOD OUTPUT  
IR3823 continually monitors the output voltage via  
FB voltage. The FB voltage is an input to the window  
comparator with upper and lower threshold of 120%  
and 85% of the reference voltage respectively.  
PGood signal is high whenever FB voltage is within  
the PGood comparator window thresholds. For pre-  
biased start-up, PGood is not active until the first  
gate signal of the control FET is generated.  
The PGood pin is open drain and it needs to be  
externally pulled high. High state indicates that  
output is in regulation.  
In addition, PGood is also gated by other faults  
including over current and over temperature. When  
either of the faults occurs, PGood pin will be pulled  
low.  
An internal compensation circuit is used to change  
the PWM ramp slope according to the clock  
frequency applied on Rt/Sync pin. Thus, the  
effective amplitude of the PWM ramp (Vramp), which  
is used in compensation loop calculation, has minor  
impact from the variation of the external  
synchronization signal.  
THERMAL SHUTDOWN  
Temperature sensing is provided inside IR3823. The  
trip threshold is typically set to 145ºC. When trip  
threshold is exceeded, thermal shutdown turns off  
both MOSFETs and resets the internal soft start.  
Automatic restart is initiated when the sensed  
temperature drops within the operating range. There  
is a 20°C hysteresis in the thermal shutdown  
threshold.  
EXTERNAL SYNCHRONIZATION  
IR3823 incorporates an internal phase lock loop  
(PLL) circuit which enables synchronization of the  
internal oscillator to an external clock. This function  
is important to avoid sub-harmonic oscillations due  
to beat frequency for embedded systems when  
multiple point-of-load (POL) regulators are used. A  
multi-function pin, Rt/Sync, is used to connect the  
external clock. If the external clock is present before  
the converter turns on, Rt/Sync pin can be  
connected to the external clock signal solely and no  
other resistor is needed. If the external clock is  
applied after the converter turns on, or the converter  
switching frequency needs to toggle between the  
external clock frequency and the internal free-  
running frequency, an external resistor from Rt/Sync  
pin to Gnd is required to set the free-running  
frequency.

and mid frequency range, while in high frequency  
range this ratio increases, thus the lower the  
maximum duty ratio at which IR3823 can operate.  
Figure 22 shows a plot of the maximum duty ratio vs.  
the switching frequency.  
MINIMUM ON TIME CONSIDERATIONS  
The minimum ON time is the shortest amount of time  
for which Ctrl FET may be reliably turned on, and  
this depends on the internal timing delays. For  
IR3823, the worst case minimum on-time is specified  
as 60ns.  
Any design or application using IR3823 must ensure  
operation with a pulse width that is higher than this  
minimum on-time and preferably higher than 60ns.  
This is necessary for the circuit to operate without  
jitter and pulse-skipping, which can cause high  
inductor current ripple and high output voltage ripple.

EXTERNAL PVIN MONITOR (INPUT UVLO)  
As explained in the section of Enable/External PVin  
monitor, the input voltage, PVin, can be monitored by  
connecting the Enable pin to PVin through a set of  
resistor divider. When PVin exceeds the desired  
voltage level such that the voltage at the Enable pin  
exceeds the Enable threshold, 1.2V, the IR3823 is  
turned on. The implementation of this function is  
shown in Figure 7.

BOOTSTRAP CAPACITOR SELECTION  
To drive the Control FET, it is necessary to supply a  
gate voltage at least 4V greater than the voltage at  
the SW pin, which is connected to the source of the  
Control FET. This is achieved by using a bootstrap  
configuration, which comprises the internal bootstrap  
diode and an external bootstrap capacitor, C1, as  
shown in Figure 24. The operation of the circuit is as  
follows: When the sync FET is turned on, the  
capacitor node connected to SW is pulled low. VCC  
starts to charge C1 through the internal bootstrap  
didoe. The voltage, Vc, across the bootstrap  
capacitor C1 can be calculated as

A good quality ceramic capacitor of 0.1μF with  
voltage rating of at least 25V is recommended for  
most applications.  
Panasonic may also be used as a bulk capacitor and  
is recommended if the input power supply is not  
located close to the converter.  
INDUCTOR SELECTION  
The inductor is selected based on output power,  
operating frequency and efficiency requirements. A  
low inductor value causes large ripple current,  
resulting in the smaller size, faster response to a  
load transient but poor efficiency and high output  
noise. Generally, the selection of the inductor value  
can be reduced to the desired maximum ripple  
current in the inductor (i). The optimum point is  
usually found between 20% and 50% ripple of the  
output current.  
The saturation current of the inductor is desired to  
be higher than the over current limit plus the inductor  
ripple current. An inductor with soft-saturation  
characteristic is recommended.  
Figure 24: Bootstrap circuit to generate the supply  
voltage for the high-side driver voltage  
INPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION  
For the buck converter, the inductor value for the  
desired operating ripple current can be determined  
using the following relation:  
Good quality input capacitors are necessary to  
minimize the input ripple voltage and to supply the  
switch current during the on-time. The input  
capacitors should be selected based on the RMS  
value of the input ripple current and requirement of  
the input ripple voltage.

current. For Io=6A and D=0.1, IRMS= 0.9A  
Fs = Switching Frequency  
t = On time

The input voltage ripple is the result of the charging  
of the input capacitors and the voltage induced by  
ESR and ESL of the input capacitors.  
Ceramic capacitors are recommended due to their  
high ripple current capabilities. They also feature low  
ESR and ESL at higher frequency which enables  
better efficiency.  
Select iLmax 36%×Io, then the output inductor is  
calculated to be 1.0μH. Select L=1.0μH, XFL4020-  
102ME, from Coilcraft which provides a compact,  
low profile inductor suitable for this application.  
For this application, it is suggested to use two  
10μF/25V ceramic capacitors, C3216X5R1E106M,  
from TDK. In addition, although not mandatory, a  
1x100uF, 25V SMD capacitor EEE-1EA101XP from  
OUTPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION  
Output capacitors are usually selected to meet two  
specific requirements: (1) Output ripple voltage and

(2) load transient response. The load transient  
response is also greatly affected by the control  
bandwidth. So it is common practice to select the  
output capacitors to meet the requirements of the  
output ripple voltage first, and then design the  
control bandwidth to meet the transient load  
response. For some cases, even with the highest  
allowable control bandwidth, the resulting load  
transient response still cannot meet the requirement.  
The number of output capacitors then need to be  
increased.

The voltage ripple is attributed by the ripple current  
charging the output capacitors, and the voltage drop  
due to the Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) and  
the Equivalent Series Inductance (ESL). Following

Where iLmax is maximum inductor peak-to-peak

Good quality ceramic capacitors are recommended  
due to their low ESR, ESL and the small package  
size. It should be noted that the capacitance of  
ceramic capacitors are usually de-rated with the DC  
and AC biased voltage. It is important to use the de-  
rated capacitance value for the calculation of output  
ripple voltage as well as the voltage loop  
compensation design. The de-rated capacitance  
value may be obtained from the manufacturer’s  
datasheets.  
In this case, one 22uF ceramic capacitors,  
C2012X5R0J226M, from TDK are used to achieve  
±12mV peak-to-peak ripple voltage requirement. The  
de-rated capacitance value with 1.2VDC bias and  
10mVAC voltage is around 18uF each.

RF1=4.02k, RF2=4.02k, RF3=127, CF3=2200pF,  
RC1=1.0k, CC1=4.7nF, CC2=56pF. The resulting  
zeros and poles are listed in Table 4. Please note  
that one of high-frequency poles has been moved to

pins. It is important to place the feedback  
components including feedback resistors and  
compensation components close to Fb and Comp  
pins.  
LAYOUT RECOMMENDATIONS  
The layout is very important when designing high  
frequency switching converters. Layout will affect  
noise pickup and can cause a good design to  
perform with worse than expected results.  
In a multilayer PCB use one layer as a power  
ground plane and have a control circuit ground  
(analog ground), to which all signals are referenced.  
The goal is to localize the high current path to a  
separate loop that does not interfere with the more  
sensitive analog control function. These two grounds  
must be connected together on the PC board layout  
at a single point. It is recommended to place all  
the compensation parts over the analog ground  
plane in top layer.  
Make the connections for the power components in  
the top layer with wide, copper filled areas or  
polygons. In general, it is desirable to make proper  
use of power planes and polygons for power  
distribution and heat dissipation.  
The inductor, output capacitors and the IR3823  
should be as close to each other as possible. This  
helps to reduce the EMI radiated by the power  
traces due to the high switching currents through  
them. Place the input capacitor directly at the PVin  
pin of IR3823.  
The Power QFN is a thermally enhanced package.  
Based on thermal performance it is recommended to  
use at least a 4-layers PCB. To effectively remove  
heat from the device the exposed pad should be  
connected to the ground plane using via holes.  
Figure 41-Figure 44 illustrates the implementation of  
the layout guidelines outlined above, on the  
IRDC3823 4-layer demo board.  
The feedback part of the system should be kept  
away from the inductor and other noise sources.  
The critical bypass components such as capacitors  
for Vin and VCC should be close to their respective

IR recommends that the larger Power or Land Area  
pads are Solder Mask Defined (SMD.) This allows  
the underlying Copper traces to be as large as  
possible, which helps in terms of current carrying  
capability and device cooling capability.  
are Non Solder Mask Defined (NSMD) or Copper  
Defined.  
When using NSMD pads, the Solder Resist Window  
should be larger than the Copper Pad by at least  
0.025mm on each edge, (i.e. 0.05mm in X&Y,) in  
order to accommodate any layer to layer  
misalignment.  
When using SMD pads, the underlying copper  
traces should be at least 0.05mm larger (on each  
edge) than the Solder Mask window, in order to  
accommodate any layer to layer misalignment. (i.e.  
0.1mm in X & Y.)  
Ensure that the solder resist in-between the smaller  
signal lead areas are at least 0.15mm wide, due to  
the high x/y aspect ratio of the solder mask strip.  
However, for the smaller Signal type leads around  
the edge of the device, IR recommends that these

STENCIL DESIGN  
Stencils for PQFN can be used with thicknesses of  
0.100-0.250mm (0.004-0.010"). Stencils thinner than  
0.100mm are unsuitable because they deposit  
insufficient solder paste to make good solder joints  
with the ground pad; high reductions sometimes  
create similar problems. Stencils in the range of  
0.125mm-0.200mm (0.005-0.008"), with suitable  
reductions, give the best results.  
Evaluations have shown that the best overall  
performance is achieved using the stencil design  
shown in following figure. This design is for a stencil  
thickness of 0.127mm (0.005"). The reduction  
should  
be  
adjusted  
for  
stencils  
of other thicknesses.
