FEATURES  
DESCRIPTION  
Internal LDO allows single 16V operation  
Output Voltage Range: 0.5V to 0.875*PVin  
0.5% accurate Reference Voltage  
Intel VR12.5 (Rev 1.5); VR13 (Rev 1.0) and SVID  
(Rev 1.7) compliant  
Enhanced line/load regulation with Feedforward  
Frequency programmable by PMBus up to 1.5 MHz  
Enable input with Voltage Monitoring Capability  
Remote Sense Amplifier with True Differential  
Voltage Sensing  
Fast mode I2C and 400 kHz PMBus interface for  
programming, sequencing and margining output  
voltage, and for monitoring input voltage, output  
voltage, output current and temperature.  
PMBus configurable fault thresholds for input  
UVLO, output OVP, OCP and thermal shutdown.  
Thermally compensated pulse-by-pulse current  
limit and Hiccup Mode Over Current Protection  
Dedicated output voltage sensing for power good  
indication and overvoltage protection which  
remains active even when Enable is low.  
This family of OPTIMOS IPOL devices offers easy-to-use,  
fully integrated and highly efficient DC/DC regulators with  
Intel SVID and I2C/PMBus interface. The on-chip PWM  
controller and co-packaged low duty cycle optimized  
MOSFETs make these devices a space-efficient solution,  
providing accurate power delivery for low output voltage  
and high current applications that require an Intel SVID  
interface.  
These versatile devices offer programmability of switching  
frequency, output voltage, and fault/warning thresholds  
and fault responses while operating over a wide input  
range. Thus, they offer flexibility as well as system level  
security in event of fault conditions.  
The switching frequency is programmable from 150 kHz to  
1.5 MHz.  
The on-chip sensors and ADC along with the SVID and  
PMBus interfaces (IR18163 and IR38363) or SVID and I2C  
interfaces (IR38165 and IR38365) make it easy to monitor  
and report input voltage, output voltage, output current  
and temperature.

PIN DESCRIPTIONS  
PIN #  
PIN NAME  
PIN DESCRIPTION  
1
PVIN  
Input voltage for power stage. Bypass capacitors between PVin and PGND should be  
connected very close to this pin and PGND. Typical applications use four 22 uF input  
capacitors and a low ESR, low ESL 0.1uF decoupling capacitor in a 0603/0402 case size. A  
3.3nF capacitor may also be used in parallel with these input capacitors to reduce ringing on  
the Sw node.  
2
Boot  
Supply voltage for high side driver. A 0.1uF capacitor should be connected from this pin to  
the Sw pin. It is recommended to provide a placement for a 0 ohm resistor in series with the  
capacitor. For applications in which PVin>14V, a 1 ohm resistor is required in series with  
boot capacitor.  
3
4
ENABLE  
ADDR  
Enable pin to turn on and off the IC  
A resistor should be connected from this pin to LGnd to set the PMBus address offset for the  
device. It is recommended to provide a placement for a 10 nF capacitor in parallel with the  
offset resistor.

Vsns  
FB  
Sense pin for OVP and PGood. Typically connected to a local Vout capacitor at the output of  
the inductor.  
Inverting input to the error amplifier. This pin is connected directly to the output of the  
regulator or to the output of the remote sense amplifier, via resistor divider to set the output  
voltage and provide feedback to the error amplifier.

8
COMP  
RSo  
Output of error amplifier. An external resistor and capacitor network is typically connected  
from this pin to FB to provide loop compensation.  
Remote Sense Amplifier Output. When the remote sense amplifier is used, this is connected  
to the feedback compensation network

PGood  
Power Good status pin. Output is open drain. Connect a pull up resistor from this pin to VCC.  
If the power good voltage before VCC UVLO needs to be limited to < 500 mV, use a 49.9K  
pullup, otherwise a 4.99K pullup will suffice.  
12,25  
PGND  
Power ground. This pin should be connected to the system’s power ground plane. Bypass  
capacitors between PVin and PGND should be connected very close to PVIN pin (pin 1) and  
this pin.

SV_ALERT  
SAlert#/NC  
SDA  
Signal ground for internal reference and control circuitry. This should be connected to the  
PGnd plane at a quiet location using a single point connection.  
SVID CLK line. This is pulled up to VDDIO/VCCIO voltage. It is recommended to provide a  
placement for a 0603 resistor between the pin and the pullup resistor  
SVID Data line. This is pulled up to VDDIO/VCCIO voltage. It is recommended to provide a  
placement for a 0603 resistor between the pin and the pullup resistor  
SVID Alert line. This is pulled up to VDDIO/VCCIO voltage through a resistor.  
SMBus Alert line; open drain SMBALERT# pin. This should be pulled up to 3.3V-5V with a  
1K-5K resistor. For IR38165 and IR38365, this a no connect pin.  
SMBus data serial input/output line. This should be pulled up to 3.3V-5V with a 1K-5K  
resistor

THEORY OF OPERATION  
DESCRIPTION  
The IR38163 and IR38165 are 30A rated synchronous buck converters that support PMBus and I2C digital  
interfaces respectively. The IR38363 and IR38365 are the corresponding 15A rated versions. All the four devices  
in this family of OPTIMOS IPOL devices are Intel SVID compliant and can support VR12.5 as well as VR13. They  
use an externally compensated fast, analog, PWM voltage mode control scheme to provide good noise immunity  
as well as fast dynamic response in a wide variety of applications. At the same time, the digital communication  
interfaces allow complete configurability of output setting and fault functions, as well as telemetry.  
The switching frequency is programmable from 150 kHz to 1.5 MHz and provides the capability of optimizing the  
design in terms of size and performance. It is recommended to operate at 500 kHz or higher.  
These devices provide precisely regulated output voltages from 0.5V to 0.875*PVin programmed via two external  
resistors or through the communication interfaces. They operate with an internal bias supply (LDO), typically 5.2V.  
This allows operation with a single supply. The output of this LDO is brought out at the Vcc pin and must be  
bypassed to the system power ground with a 10 uF decoupling capacitor. The Vcc pin may also be connected to  
the Vin pin, and an external Vcc supply between 4.5V and 5.5V may be used, allowing an extended operating bus  
voltage (PVin) range from 1.5V to 16V.  
The device utilizes the on-resistance of the low side MOSFET (synchronous MOSFET) as current sense element.  
This method enhances the converter’s efficiency and reduces cost by eliminating the need for external current  
sense resistor.  
These devices includes two low Rds(on) MOSFETs using Infineon’s OptiMOS technology. These are specifically  
designed for low duty cycle, high efficiency applications.  
DEVICE POWER-UP AND INITIALIZATION  
During the power-up sequence, when Vin is brought up, the internal LDO converts it to a regulated 5.2V at Vcc.  
There is another LDO which further converts this down to 1.8V to supply the internal digital circuitry. An under-  
voltage lockout circuit monitors the voltage of VCC pin and the P1V8 pin, and holds the Power-on-reset (POR)  
low until these voltages exceed their thresholds and the internal 48 MHz oscillator is stable. When the device  
comes out of reset, it initializes a multiple times programmable (MTP) memory load cycle, where the contents of  
the MTP are loaded into the working registers. Once the registers are loaded from MTP, the designer can use  
PMBus commands to re-configure the various parameters to suit the specific VR design requirements if desired,  
irrespective of the status of Enable.  
The typical default configuration utilizes the internal LDO to supply the VCC rail when PVin is brought up. For this  
configuration power conversion is enabled only when the Enable pin voltage exceeds its under voltage threshold,  
the PVin bus voltage exceeds its under voltage threshold, the contents of the MTP have been fully loaded into the  
working registers and the device address has been read. The initialization sequence is shown in Figure 8.  
Another common default configuration uses an external power supply for the VCC rail. While in this configuration  
it is recommended to ensure the VCC rail reaches its target voltage prior the enable signal goes high.  
Additional options are available to enable the device power conversion through software and these options may  
be configured to override the default by using the I2C interface or PMBus. For further details see the UN0075  
IR3816x_IR3826x_IR3836x_PMBus commandset user note.

I2C AND PMBUS COMMUNICATION  
All the devices in this family have two 7-bit registers that are used to set the base I2C address and base PMBus  
address of the device, as shown below in Table 1.  
Table 1: Registers used to set device base address  
Register  
Description  
I2c_address[6:0]  
The chip I2C address. An  
address of 0 will disable  
I2C communication. Note  
that disabling I2C does not  
disable PMBus.  
Pmbus_address[6:0]  
The chip PMBus address.  
An address of 0 will disable  
PMBus communication.  
Note that disabling PMBus  
does not disable I2C.  
In addition, a resistor may be connected between the ADDR and LGND pins to set an offset from the default  
preconfigured I2C address (0x10) /PMBus address (0x40) in the MTP. Up to 16 different offsets can be set,  
allowing 16 devices with unique addresses in a single system. This offset, and hence, the device address, is read  
by the internal 10 bit ADC during the initialization sequence.  
Table 2 below provides the resistor values needed to set the 16 offsets from the base address.

The device will then respond to I2C/PMbus commands sent to this address. There is also a register bit  
i2c_disable_addr_offset that may be set in order to instruct the device to ignore the resistor offset for both i2c and  
PMBus. If this bit is set, the device will always respond to commands sent to the base address.  
MODES FOR SETTING OUTPUT VOLTAGES  
These devices provide a configuration bit that allows the user to choose between PMBus and VID modes. When  
this bit is set, the output voltage will ramp to the configured boot voltage and subsequently, respond to voltage set  
commands issued by the CPU on the Serial VID (SVID) interface. The VID tables for 5mV and 10mV VID steps  
are shown in the tables below. A VID code of 0 corresponds to 0V as well as the regulator shutdown code in SVID  
mode. Vboot which is utilized in the SVID mode should never be set to 0 V as this will shutdown the regulator.  
When this bit is zero, the regulation is determined by the output voltage set by the PMBus commands (for the  
IR38163 and IR38363) or by the corresponding MTP registers (for the IR38165 and IR38365). It should be noted  
that irrespective of the mode used to set the output voltage, telemetry information always remains available on  
both the communications busses.

BUS VOLTAGE UVLO  
If the input to the Enable pin is derived from the bus voltage by a suitably programmed resistive divider, it can be  
ensured that the device does not turn on until the bus voltage reaches the desired level as shown in Figure 9.  
Only after the bus voltage reaches or exceeds this level and voltage at the Enable pin exceeds its threshold  
(typically 0.6V) will the device be enabled. Therefore, in addition to being logic input pin to enable the converter,  
the Enable feature, with its precise threshold, also allows the user to override the default 8 V Under-Voltage  
Lockout for the bus voltage (PVin). This is desirable particularly for high output voltage applications, where we  
might want the device to be disabled at least until PVin exceeds the desired output voltage level. Alternatively, the  
default 8 V PVin UVLO threshold may be reconfigured/overridden using the VIN_ON and VIN_OFF PMBus  
commands or the corresponding registers. It should be noted that the input voltage is also fed to an ADC through  
a 21:1 internal resistive divider. However, the digitized input voltage is used only for the purposes of reporting the  
input voltage through the READ_VIN PMBus command. It has no impact on the bus voltage UVLO, input  
overvoltage faults and input undervoltage warnings, all of which are implemented by using analog comparators to  
compare the input voltage to the corresponding thresholds programmed by the PMBus commands VIN_ON,  
VIN_OFF, VIN_OV_FAULT_LIMIT and VIN_UV_WARN_LIMIT respectively. The bus voltage reading as reported  
by READ_VIN has no effect on the input feedforward function either.

PRE-BIAS STARTUP  
These devices can start up into a pre-charged output, which prevents oscillation and disturbances of the output  
voltage.  
The output starts in asynchronous fashion and keeps the synchronous MOSFET (Sync FET) off until the first gate  
signal for control MOSFET (Ctrl FET) is generated. Figure 11 shows a typical Pre-Bias condition at start up. 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%, with 16 cycles at each step, until it reaches the steady state value. Figure 12 shows  
the series of 16x8 startup pulses.

SOFT-START (REFERENCE DAC RAMP)  
These devices have an internal soft starting DAC to control the output voltage rise and to limit the current surge at  
the start-up. To ensure correct start-up, the DAC sequence initiates only after power conversion is enabled when  
the Enable pin voltage exceeds its undervoltage threshold, the PVin bus voltage exceeds its undervoltage  
threshold and the contents of the MTP have been fully loaded into the working registers. Figure 13 shows the  
waveforms during soft start. It should be noted that the part may also be configured to require software Enable  
(set through the PMBus or the corresponding MTP register) instead of or in addition to a “hardware” signal at the  
Enable pin. In PMBus mode, the reference DAC soft-start may be delayed from the time power conversion is  
enabled. The range for this programmable delay is 0ms to 127 ms, and the resolution is 1 ms. Further, in this  
mode, the soft start time may be configured from 1ms to 127 ms with 1 ms resolution.  
In SVID mode, the rise time is determined by the slow slew rate specified by Intel, and may be programmed to  
one of four values: 0.625mV/us, 1.25 mV/us, 2.5 mV/us and 5 mV/us. In this mode, the device uses 2.5 mV/us by  
default. It should be noted, however, that if Vboot is 0, the output voltage does not ramp until the CPU issues a  
voltage setting command at either the fast slew rate or slow slew rate specified by the CPU.

During the startup sequence the over-current protection (OCP) and over-voltage protection (OVP) are active to  
protect the device against any short circuit or over voltage condition.  
OPERATING FREQUENCY  
Using the FREQUENCY_SWITCH PMBus command, or the corresponding registers, the switching frequency  
may be programmed between 150 kHz and 1.5 MHz. For best telemetry accuracy, it is recommended that the  
following switching frequencies be avoided: 250 kHz, 300 kHz, 400 kHz, 500 kHz, 600 kHz, 750 kHz, 800 kHz, 1  
MHz, 1.2 MHz and 1.5 MHz. Instead, it is recommended to use the following values 251 kHz, 302 kHz, 403 kHz,  
505 kHz, 607 kHz, 762 kHz, 813 kHz, 978 kHz, 1171 kHz and 1454 kHz respectively.  
SHUTDOWN  
In the default configuration, the device can be shutdown by pulling the Enable pin below its 0.4V threshold.  
During shutdown the high side and the low side drivers are turned off. By default, the device exhibits an  
immediate shutdown with no delay and no soft stop.  
Alternatively, the part may be configured to allow shutdown using the OPERATION PMBus command or the  
corresponding register. It may also be configured to allow a soft or controlled turned off. In PMBus mode, if the  
soft-off option is used, the turn off may be delayed from the time the power conversion is disabled. The range for  
this programmable delay is 0ms to 127 ms, and the resolution is 1 ms. Further, in this mode, the soft stop time  
may be configured from 1ms to 127 ms with 1 ms resolution. The programmable turn off delay only applies in  
PMBus mode. In PVID mode, if the soft-stop option is used, the output voltage slews down at 0.625 mV/us.

CURRENT SENSING, TELEMETRY AND OVER CURRENT PROTECTION  
Current sensing for both, telemetry as well as overcurrent protection is done by sensing the voltage across the  
sync FET RDson. This method enhances the converter’s efficiency, reduces cost by eliminating a current sense  
resistor and any minimizes sensitivity to layout related noise issues. A novel, patented scheme allows  
reconstruction of the average inductor current from the voltage sensed across the Sync FET Rdson. It should be  
noted here that it is this reconstructed average inductor current that is digitized by the ADC and used for output  
current reporting as well as for overcurrent warning, the threshold for which may be set using the  
IOUT_OC_WARN_LIMIT command. The current is reported in 1/16A resolution using the READ_IOUT PMBus  
command. For the IR38165 and IR38365, which support I2C communication, but not PMBus, the current  
information may be read back through the 8-bit register output_current_byte, which reports the current in 1/4 A  
resolution.  
The Over current (OC) fault protection circuit also uses the voltage sensed across the RDS(on) of the Synchronous  
MOSFET; however, the protection mechanism relies on a fast comparator to compare the sensed signal to the  
overcurrent threshold and does not depend on the ADC or reported current. The current limit scheme uses an  
internal temperature compensated current source that has the same temperature coefficient as the RDS(on) of the  
Synchronous MOSFET. As a result, the over-current trip threshold remains almost constant over temperature.  
Over Current Protection circuitry senses the inductor current flowing through the Synchronous FET closer to the  
valley point. The OCP circuit samples this current for 75 ns typically after the rising edge of the PWM set pulse  
which is an internal signal that has a width of 12.5% of the switching period. The PWM pulse that turns on the  
high side FET 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 is low.  
This helps to prevent false tripping due to noise and transients.  
The actual DC output current limit point will be greater than the valley point by an amount equal to approximately  
half of the peak to peak inductor ripple current. The current limit point will be a function of the inductor value, input  
voltage, output voltage and the frequency of operation. On equation 1, ILimit is the value set when configuring the  
OCP value. The user should account for the inductor ripple to obtain the actual DC output current limit.

Figure 14: Timing Diagram for Current Limit Hiccup  
In the default configuration, if the overcurrent detection trips the OCP comparator for a total of 8 cycles, the device  
goes into a hiccup mode. The hiccup is performed by de-asserting the internal Enable signal to the analog and  
power conversion circuitry and holding it low for 20 ms.  
Following this, the OCP signal resets and the converter recovers. After every hiccup cycle, the converter stays in  
this mode until the overload or short circuit is removed. This behavior is shown in Figure 14.  
It should be noted that on some units, a false OCP maybe experienced during device start-up due to noise. The  
part will ride through this false OCP due to the pulse by pulse current limiting feature and successfully ramp to the  
correct output voltage. However, it is recommended to send a PMBUS Clear_Faults command after start-up to  
reset the PMBUS SAlert# to a high and to clear the PMBUS status register for faults.  
Note that the user can override the default overcurrent threshold using the PMBus command  
IOUT_OC_FAULT_LIMIT. For the IR38163/IR38165 it is recommended that the overcurrent threshold be  
programmed to at least 16A for good accuracy. For the IR38363/IR38365 a minimum threshold of 12A is  
recommended. While these devices will still offer overcurrent protection for thresholds programmed lower than  
these recommended values, the thresholds will not be as accurate.  
Also, using the PMBus command IOUT_OC_FAULT_RESPONSE or the corresponding registers, the part may be  
configured to respond to an overcurrent fault in one of two ways  
1) Pulse by pulse current limiting for a programmed number of 8 switching cycles followed by a latched  
shutdown.  
2) Pulse by pulse current limiting for a programmed number of 8 switching cycles followed by hiccup. This is  
the default explained above.  
The pulse-by-pulse or constant current limiting mechanism is briefly explained below.

Figure 16 depicts a case where the overcurrent condition happens when the converter is operating at D>0.5 and  
the overcurrent response has been set to Constant current operation through pulse by pulse current limiting. In  
such a case, after 3 consecutive overcurrent cycles are recognized, the pulse width is dropped such that D=0.5  
and then after 3 more consecutive OCP cycles, to 0.25 and then finally to 0.125 at which it keeps running until the  
total OCP count reaches the programmed maximum following which the part enters hiccup mode. Conversely,  
when the overcurrent condition disappears, the pulse width is restored to its nominal value gradually, by a similar  
mechanism in reverse; every sequence of 4 consecutive cycles in which the current is below the overcurrent  
threshold doubles the duty cycle, so that D goes from 0.125 to 0.25, then to 0.5 and finally to its nominal value.

DIE TEMPERATURE SENSING, TELEMETRY AND THERMAL SHUTDOWN  
On die temperature sensing is used for accurate temperature reporting and over temperature detection. The  
READ_TEMEPRATURE PMBus command reports this temperature in 10C resolution. For the IR38165 and  
IR38365, which do not support PMBus communication, the temperature may be read back through the 8-bit  
register temp_byte, which reports the die temperature in 10C resolution, offset by 400C. Thus, the temperature is  
given by temp_byte +400C.  
The trip threshold is set by default to 125oC. The default over temperature response of the device is to inhibit  
power conversion while the fault is present, followed by automatic restart after the fault condition is cleared.  
Hence, in the default configuration, when trip threshold is exceeded, the internal Enable signal to the power  
conversion circuitry is de-asserted, turning off both MOSFETs.  
Automatic restart is initiated when the sensed temperature drops within the operating range. There is a 25oC  
hysteresis in the thermal shutdown threshold.  
The default overtemperature threshold as well as overtemperature response may be re-configured or overridden  
using the OT_FAULT_LIMIT and OT_FAULT_RESPONSE PMBus commands respectively. For the IR38165 and  
IR38365, which do not support PMBus, the corresponding registers may be used. The devices support three  
types of responses to an over-temperature fault:  
1) Ignore  
2) Inhibit when over temperature condition exists and auto-restart when over temperature condition  
disappears  
3) Latched shutdown.  
REMOTE VOLTAGE SENSING  
True differential remote sensing in the feedback loop is critical to high current applications where the output  
voltage across the load may differ from the output voltage measured locally across an output capacitor at the  
output inductor, and to applications that require die voltage sensing.  
The RS+ and RS- pins form the inputs to a remote sense differential amplifier with high speed, low input offset  
and low input bias current, which ensure accurate voltage sensing and fast transient response in such  
applications.  
The input range for the differential amplifier is limited to 1.5V below the VCC rail. Therefore, for applications in  
which the output voltage is more than 3V, it is recommended to use local sensing, or if remote sensing is a must,  
then the voltage between the RS+ and RS-pins must be divided down to less than 3V using a resistive voltage  
divider. It’s recommended that the divider be placed at the input of the remote sense amplifier and that a low  
impedance such as 499 Ω be used between the RS+ and RS- nodes. A typical schematic for this setup is shown  
on Figure 5. Please note, however, that this modifies the open loop transfer function and requires a change in the  
compensation network to optimally stabilize the loop.  
FEED-FORWARD  
Feed-Forward (F.F.) is an important feature, because it can keep the converter stable and preserve its load  
transient performance when PVin varies over a wide range. The PWM ramp amplitude (Vramp) is proportionally  
35  
Rev 3.3

IR38163/363/165/365  
changed with PVin to maintain PVin/Vramp almost constant throughout PVin variation range (as shown in Figure  
17). Thus, the control loop bandwidth and phase margin can be maintained constant. The feed-forward function  
can also minimize impact on output voltage from fast PVin change. The feed-forward is disabled for PVin<4.7V.  
Hence, for PVin<4.7V, a re-calculation of control loop parameters is needed for re-compensation.

LIGHT LOAD EFFICIENCY ENHANCEMENT (AOT)  
These devices implement a diode emulation scheme with Adaptive On Time control or AOT to improve light load  
efficiency. It is based on a COT (Constant On Time) control scheme with some novel advancements that make  
the on-time during diode emulation adaptive and dependent upon the pulse width in constant frequency operation.  
This allows the scheme to be combined with a PWM scheme, while providing relatively smooth transition between  
the two modes of operation. In other words, the switching regulator can operate in AOT mode at light loads and  
automatically switch to PWM at medium and heavy loads and vice versa. Therefore, the regulator will benefit from  
the high efficiency of the AOT mode at light loads, and from the constant frequency and fast transient response of  
the PWM at medium to heavy loads.  
In PMBus mode, a MFR_SPECIFIC PMBus command (MFR_FCCM) can be used to enable AOT operation at  
light load for the IR38163 and IR38363. For the IR38165 and IR38365, the corresponding mtp register bit  
mfr_fccm must be set to 0 to allow AOT operation. In SVID mode, there are two ways in which AOT operation  
may be enabled:  
a) Auto-PS: Set the mfr_fccm bit to 0.  
b) PS commands issued by the CPU: Set the mfr_fccm bit to 1. The device will then allow AOT operation  
only if commanded to power states PS2, PS3 or PS4 by the CPU. Conversely, a command to power  
states PS0 or PS1 or a VID command to a higher voltage will disable AOT operation.  
If it is desired that AOT operation be disabled altogether (recommended), allowing neither Auto-PS nor PS  
commands issued by the CPU to enable AOT operation, it is essential to  
a) The svid_ps_override bit must be set to 1.  
b) Set svid_ps_override_val[2:0] to 0.  
c) Set the mfr_fccm bit to 1.

IR38163/363/165/365  
Shortly after the reference voltage has finished ramping up, an internal circuit which is called the “calibration  
circuit” starts operation. It samples the Comp voltage (output of the error amplifier), digitizes it and stores it in a  
register. There is a DAC which converts the value of this register to an analog voltage which is equal to the  
sampled Comp voltage. At this time, the regulator is ready to enter AOT mode if the load condition is appropriate.  
If the load is so low that the inductor current becomes negative before the next SW pulse, the operation can be  
switched to AOT mode. The condition to enter AOT is the occurrence of 8 consecutive inductor current zero  
crossings in eight consecutive switching cycles. If this happens, operation is switched to AOT mode as shown in  
Figure 18. The inductor current is sensed using the RDS_ON of the Sync-FET and no direct inductor current  
measuring is required. In AOT mode, just like COT operation, pulses with constant width are generated and diode  
emulation is utilized. This means that a pulse is generated and LDrv is held on until the inductor current becomes  
zero. Then both HDrv and LDrv remain off until the voltage of the sense pin comes down and reaches the  
reference voltage. At this moment the next pulse is generated. The sense pin is connected to the output voltage  
by a resistor divider which has the same ratio as the voltage divider which is connected to the feedback pin (Fb).

mode)  
When the load increases beyond a certain value, the control is switched back to PWM through either of the  
following two mechanisms:  
1) If due to the increase in load, the output voltage drops to 95% of the reference voltage.  
2) If Vsense remains below the reference voltage for 3 consecutive inductor current zero-cross events  
It is worth mentioning that in AOT mode, when Vsense comes down to reference voltage level, a new pulse in  
generated only if the inductor current is already zero. If at this time the inductor current (sensed on the Sync-FET)  
is still positive, the new pulse generation is postponed till the current decays to zero. The second condition  
mentioned above usually happens when the load is gradually increased.  
AOT is disabled during output voltage transitions. It is enabled only after reference voltage finishes its ramp (up or  
down) and the calibration circuit has sampled and held the new Comp voltage.

In general, AOT operation is more jittery and noisier than FCCM operation, where the switching frequency may  
vary from cycle to cycle, giving increased Vout ripple and noisier, inconsistent telemetry. Therefore, it is  
recommended to use FCCM mode of operation as far as possible.  
OUTPUT VOLTAGE SENSING, TELEMETRY AND FAULTS  
For this family of devices, the voltage sense and regulation circuits are decoupled, enabling ease of testing as  
well as redundancy. In order to do this, the device uses the sense voltage at the dedicated Vsns pin for output  
voltage reporting (in 1/256 V resolution, using the READ_VOUT PMBus command) as well as for power good  
detection and output overvoltage protection.  
Power good detection and output overvoltage detection rely on fast analog comparator circuits, whereas  
overvoltage warnings as well as undervoltage faults and warnings rely on comparing the digitized Vsns to the  
corresponding  
thresholds  
programmed  
using  
PMBus  
commands  
VOUT_OV_WARN_LIMIT,  
VOUT_UV_FAULT_LIMIT and VOUT_UV_WARN_LIMIT respectively (or the corresponding registers in the case  
of IR38165 and IR38365).  
Power Good Output  
The Vsns voltage is an input to the window comparator with programmable thresholds. The PGood signal is high  
whenever Vsns voltage is within the PGood comparator window thresholds. The PGood pin is open drain and it  
needs to be externally pulled high. High state indicates that output is in regulation. For the IR38163 and IR38363,  
the Power Good thresholds may be changed through the POWER_GOOD_ON and POWER_GOOD_OFF  
commands, which set the rising and falling PGood thresholds respectively. For the IR38165 and IR38365, which  
lack PMBus, the thresholds may be programmed using the corresponding mtp registers. However, when no  
resistive divider is used, such as for output voltages lower than 2.555V, the Power Good thresholds must be  
programmed to within 630 mV of the output voltage, otherwise, the effective power good threshold changes from  
an absolute threshold to one that tracks the output voltage with a 630 mV offset. By default, the PGood signal will  
assert as soon as the Vsns signal enters the regulation window. In digital mode, this delay is programmable from  
0 to 10ms with a 1 ms resolution, using the MFR_TPGDLY command.  
The threshold is set differently in SVID mode. In this mode, the thresholds set by the POWER_GOOD_ON and  
POWER_GOOD_OFF commands (or the corresponding registers) are ignored. Power Good is asserted when the  
output voltage is within the tolerance band of the boot voltage. Following this, the Power Good signal remains  
asserted irrespective of any output voltage transitions and is de-asserted only in the event of a fault that shuts  
down power conversion, or, if so programmed, in the event of a command by the CPU to change the output  
voltage to 0 V.

Over-Voltage Protection (OVP)  
Over-voltage protection is achieved by comparing sense pin voltage Vsns to a configurable overvoltage threshold.  
The OVP threshold may be reprogrammed to within 655 mV of the output voltage (for output voltages lower than  
2.555V, without any resistive divider on the Fb pin), using the VOUT_OV_FAULT_LIMIT PMBus command or the  
corresponding registers (for IR38363 and IR38365). For an OVP threshold programmed to be more than 655 mV  
greater than the output voltage, the effective OV threshold ceases to be an absolute value and instead tracks the  
output voltage with a 655 mV offset.  
When Vsns exceeds the over voltage threshold, an over voltage trip signal asserts after 200ns (typ.) delay. The  
default response is that the high side drive signal HDrv is latched off immediately and PGood flags are set low.  
The low side drive signal is kept on until the Vsns voltage drops below the threshold. HDrv remains latched off  
until a reset is performed by cycling either Vcc or Enable or the OPERATION command. The device allows the  
user to reconfigure this response by the use of the VOUT_OV_FAULT_RESPONSE PMBus command. In  
addition to the default response described above, this command can be used to configure the device such that  
Vout overvoltage faults are ignored and the converter remains enabled. (however, they will still be flagged in the  
STATUS_REGISTERS and by ¯S¯A¯le¯r¯t ). For further details on the corresponding PMBus commands related to  
OVP, please refer to the UN0075 IR3816x_IR3826x_IR3836x_PMBUS commandset user note.  
Vsns voltage is set by an external resistive voltage divider connected to the output. This divider ratio must match  
the divider used on the feedback pin or on the RS+ pin.  
It should be noted that the overvoltage threshold applies in PMBus mode as well as SVID mode.

MINIMUM ON TIME CONSIDERATIONS  
The minimum ON time is the shortest amount of time for Ctrl FET to be reliably turned on. This is a very critical  
parameter for low duty cycle, high frequency applications. In the conventional approach, when the error amplifier  
output is near the bottom of the ramp waveform with which it is compared to generate the PWM output,  
propagation delays can be high enough to cause pulse skipping, and hence limit the minimum pulse width that  
can be realized. Moreover, in the conventional approach, the bottom of the ramp often presents a high gain region  
to the error amplifier output, making the modulator more susceptible to noise and requiring the use of lower  
control loop bandwidth to prevent noise, jitter and pulse skipping.  
Infineon has developed a proprietary scheme to improve and enhance the minimum pulse width which minimizes  
these delays and hence, allows stable operation with pulse-widths as small as 35ns. At the same time, this  
scheme also has greater noise immunity, thus allowing stable, jitter free operation down to very low pulse widths  
even with a high control loop bandwidth, thus reducing the required output capacitance.  
Any design or application using these devices must ensure operation with a pulse width that is higher than the  
minimum on-time and at least 50 ns of on-time is recommended in the application. 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.

Therefore, at the maximum recommended input voltage 16V and minimum output voltage, the converter should  
be designed at a switching frequency that does not exceed 625 kHz. Conversely, for operation at the maximum  
recommended operating frequency (1.5 MHz) and minimum output voltage (0.5V), the input voltage (PVin) should  
not exceed 6.7 V, otherwise pulse skipping may happen.  
MAXIMUM DUTY RATIO  
An upper limit on the operating duty ratio is imposed by the larger of a) A fixed off time (dominant at high  
switching frequencies) b) blanking provided by the PWMSet or clock pulse, which has a pulse width that is 1/8 of  
the switching period. The latter mechanism is dominant at lower switching frequencies (typically below 1.25 MHz).  
This upper limit ensures that the Sync FET turns on for a long enough duration to allow recharging the bootstrap  
capacitor and also allows current sensing. Figure 22 shows a plot of the maximum duty ratio vs. the switching  
frequency with built in input voltage feed forward mechanism.  
Figure 22: Maximum duty cycle vs. switching frequency  
BOOTSTRAP CAPACITOR  
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). Typically a 0.1uF  
capacitor is used. A layout placement for a 0 ohm resistor in series with the capacitor is also recommended. For  
applications where PVin>14V, a 1 ohm resistor is required. The operation of the circuit is as follows: When the  
sync FET is turned on, the capacitor node connected to SW is pulled down to ground. The capacitor charges  
towards Vcc through the internal bootstrap diode (Figure 23), which has a forward voltage drop VD. The voltage Vc  
across the bootstrap capacitor C1 is approximately given as:  
Vc Vcc VD  
(7)  
When the control FET turns on in the next cycle, the capacitor node connected to SW rises to the bus voltage  
PVin. However, if the value of C1 is appropriately chosen, the voltage Vc across C1 remains approximately  
unchanged and the voltage at the Boot pin becomes:

LOOP COMPENSATION  
Feedback loop compensation is achieved using standard Type III techniques and the compensation values can  
be easily calculated using Infineon’s design tool. The design tool can also be used to predict the control  
bandwidth and phase margin for the loop for any set of user defined compensation component values. For a  
theoretical understanding of the calculations used, please refer to Infineon’s Application Note AN-1162  
“Compensator Design Procedure for Buck Converter with Voltage-Mode Error-Amplifier”.  
DYNAMIC VID COMPENSATION  
This family of devices uses an analog control scheme with voltage mode control. In this scheme, the compensator  
acts on the Vout signal and not just on the error signal. For load and line transients, with a steady and unchanging  
reference voltage, this has the same dynamic characteristics as for a compensator that acts on only the error  
signal. However, for reference voltage changes, as in the case of Dynamic VID, the dynamics are altered. A  
proprietary and patented dynamic VID compensation scheme allows the dynamic VID response to be tuned  
optimally to the feedback compensator values. Once properly optimized, the output voltage will follow the DAC  
more closely during a positive dynamic VID, and provide better dynamic VID alert timing, as required by Intel®  
processors. Infineon’s design tool will allow the user to quickly and conveniently calculate the dynamic VID  
compensation parameters for optimal dynamic VID response.

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 less than expected results.  
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 input capacitors, inductor, output capacitors and the device 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 IR38x6x.  
Power vias should be at least 20/10 mil and a good rule of thumb is to design at 2A/via.  
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, VCC and 1.8V should be close to their respective  
pins. It is important to place the feedback components including feedback resistors and compensation  
components close to Fb and Comp pins.  
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 functions. 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.  
The Power QFN is a thermally enhanced package. Based on thermal performance it is recommended to use at  
least a 6-layer PCB. To effectively remove heat from the device the exposed pad should be connected to the  
ground plane using vias.  
IR38163/165/363/365 devices have 3 pins, SCL, SDA and SALERT# that are used for I2C/PMBus  
communication. It is recommended that the traces used for these communication lines be at least 10 mils wide  
with spacing between the SCL and SDA traces that is at least 2-3 times the trace width.
