PIN DESCRIPTIONS  
PIN #  
PIN NAME  
PIN 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.  
1
Fb  
Internal reference voltage , it can be used for margining operation also. In  
normal and sequencing mode operation, Vref is left floating. A 1nF ceramic  
capacitor is recommended between this pin and Gnd. In tracking mode  
operation, Vref should be tied to Gnd.  
2
Vref  
Output of error amplifier. An external resistor and capacitor network is typically  
connected from this pin to Fb to provide loop compensation.  
3
4
Comp  
Gnd  
Signal ground for internal reference and control circuitry.  
Multifunction pin to set switching frequency. Use an external resistor from this  
pin to Gnd to set the freerunning switching frequency. An external clock signal  
to connect to this pin through a diode, the device’s switching frequency is  
synchronized with the external clock.  
5
6
Rt/Sync  
S_Ctrl  
Soft start/stop control. A high logic input enables the device to go into the  
internal soft start; a low logic input enables the output soft discharged. Pull this  
pin to Vcc if this function is not used.  
Power Good status pin. Output is open drain. Connect a pull up resistor from  
this pin to the voltage lower than or equal to the Vcc.  
7
8
PGood  
Vsns  
Sense pin for overvoltage protection and PGood. It is optional to tie this pin to  
Fb pin directly instead of using a resistor divider from Vout.  
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 shorted to Vcc/LDO_Out pin.  
9
Vin  
Input Bias Voltage, output of internal LDO. Place a minimum 2.2µF cap from this  
pin to PGnd.  
10  
11  
Vcc/LDO_Out  
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.  
12  
13  
SW  
Switch node. This pin is connected to the output inductor.  
Input voltage for power stage.  
PVin  
Supply voltage for high side driver, a 100nF capacitor should be connected  
between this pin and SW pin.  
14  
15  
Boot  
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.  
Enable  
Input to error amplifier for tracking purposes. In the normal operation, it is left  
floating and no external capacitor is required. In the sequencing or the tracking  
mode operation, an external signal can be applied as the reference.

sequence starts (see soft start section).  
THEORY OF OPERATION  
DESCRIPTION  
The IR3894 uses a PWM voltage mode control scheme with  
external compensation to provide good noise immunity  
and maximum flexibility in selecting inductor values and  
capacitor types.  
ENABLE  
The Enable features another level of flexibility for start up.  
The Enable has precise threshold which is internally  
monitored by UnderVoltage Lockout (UVLO) circuit.  
Therefore, the IR3894 will turn on only when the voltage  
at the Enable pin exceeds this threshold, typically, 1.2V.  
The switching frequency is programmable from 300 KHz  
to 1.5MHz and provides the capability of optimizing the  
design in terms of size and performance.  
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 IR3894 does not turn on until the bus  
voltage reaches the desired level (Fig. 4). Only after the bus  
voltage reaches or exceeds this level and voltage at the  
Enable pin exceeds its threshold, IR3894 will be enabled.  
Therefore, in addition to being a logic input pin to enable  
the IR3894, the Enable feature, with its precise threshold,  
also allows the user to implement an UnderVoltage  
Lockout for the bus voltage (PVin). This is desirable  
particularly for high output voltage applications, where we  
might want the IR3894 to be disabled at least until PVIN  
exceeds the desired output voltage level.  
IR3894 provides precisely regulated output voltage  
programmed via two external resistors from 0.5V to  
0.86*Vin.  
The IR3894 operates with an internal bias supply (LDO)  
which is connected to the Vcc/LDO_out pin. This allows  
operation with single supply. The bias voltage is variable  
according to load condition. If the output load current is  
less than half of the peaktopeak inductor current, a lower  
bias voltage, 4.4V, is used as the internal gate drive  
voltage; otherwise, a higher voltage, 6.4V, is used.  
This feature helps the converter to reduce power losses.  
The IC can also be operated with an external supply from  
4.5 to 7.5V, allowing an extended operating input voltage  
(PVin) range from 1.0V to 21V. For using the internal LDO  
supply, the Vin pin should be connected to PVin pin.  
If an external supply is used, it should be connected to  
Vcc/LDO_out pin and the Vin pin should be shorted to  
Vcc/LDO_out pin.

The device utilizes the onresistance of the low side  
MOSFET (sync FET) for the over current protection. This  
method enhances the converter’s efficiency and reduces  
cost by eliminating the need for external current sense  
resistor.

IR3894 includes two low Rds(on) MOSFETs using IR’s HEXFET  
technology. These are specifically designed for high  
efficiency applications.

when the bus voltage reaches 10.2V  
UNDERVOLTAGE LOCKOUT AND POR  
The undervoltage lockout circuit monitors the voltage of  
Vcc/Ldo pin and the Enable input. It assures that the  
MOSFET driver outputs remain in the off state whenever  
either of these two signals drop below the set thresholds.  
Normal operation resumes once Vcc/LDO_Out and Enable  
rise above their thresholds.  
A resistor divider is used at EN pin from PVin to turn on the  
device at 10.2V.

Figure 5a shows the recommended startup sequence for  
the normal (nontracking, nonsequencing) operation of  
IR3894, when Enable is used as a logic input. Figure 5b

In normal and sequencing mode operation, Vref is left

between this pin and Gnd. In tracking mode operation,  
Vref should be tied to Gnd.

Intl_SS  
It is recommended to apply the Enable signal after the VCC  
voltage has been established. If the Enable signal is present  
before VCC, a 50kresistor can be used in series with the  
Enable pin to limit the current flowing into the Enable pin.

PREBIAS STARTUP  
IR3894 is able to start up into precharged output, which  
prevents oscillation and disturbances of the output  
voltage.  
Vcc  
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 6a  
shows a typical PreBias 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% until it reaches the steady state value.  
The number of these startup pulses for each step is 16 and  
it’s internally programmed. Figure 6b shows the series of  
16x8 startup pulses.

IR3894 has an internal digital softstart to control the  
output voltage rise and to limit the current surge at the  
startup. To ensure correct startup, the softstart  
sequence initiates when the Enable and Vcc rise above  
their UVLO thresholds and generate the Power On Ready  
(POR) signal. The internal softstart (Intl_SS) signal linearly  
rises with the rate of 0.2mV/µs from 0V to 1.5V. Figure 7  
shows the waveforms during soft start (also refer to Fig.  
20). The normal Vout start up time is fixed, and is equal to:

During the soft start the overcurrent protection (OCP) and  
overvoltage protection (OVP) is enabled to protect the  
device for any short circuit or over voltage condition.  
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 preset internally  
and is compensated according to the IC temperature. So at  
different ambient temperature, the overcurrent trip  
threshold remains almost constant.  
POR

Intl_SS  
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 into hiccup mode. PGood  
will go low and the internal soft start signal will be pulled  
low. The converter goes into hiccup mode with a 20.48ms  
(typ.) delay as shown in Figure 8. The convertor stays in  
this mode until the over load or short circuit is removed.  
The actual DC output current limit point will be greater  
than the valley point by an amount equal to approximate y  
half of peak to peak inductor ripple current. The current  
limit point will be a function of the inductor value, input  
,output voltage and the frequency of operation.

OPERATING FREQUENCY  
The switching frequency can be programmed between 300  
kHz – 1500 kHz by connecting an external resistor from Rt  
pin to Gnd. Table 1 tabulates the oscillator frequency  
versus Rt.  
SHUTDOWN  
IR3894 can be shutdown by pulling the Enable pin below  
its 1.0V threshold. This will tristate both the high side and  
the low side driver.

higher. On the contrary, when the external clock signal is  
removed from Rt/Sync pin, the switching frequency is also  
changed to freerunning 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 9a. Figure 9b shows  
the timing diagram of these transitions.

THERMAL SHUTDOWN  
Temperature sensing is provided inside IR3894. 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 20oC hysteresis in the thermal shutdown threshold.  
EXTERNAL SYNCHRONIZATION  
Figure 9b: Timing Diagram for Synchronization  
to the external clock (Fs1>Fs2 or Fs1<Fs2)  
IR3894 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 subharmonic oscillations due to beat frequency for  
embedded systems when multiple pointofload (POL)  
regulators are used. A multifunction 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 freerunning frequency, an external resistor  
from Rt/Sync pin to Gnd is required to set the freerunning  
frequency.  
An internal circuit is used to change the PWM ramp slope  
according to the clock frequency applied on Rt/Sync pin.  
Even though the frequency of the external synchronization  
clock can vary in a wide range, the PLL circuit will make  
sure that the ramp amplitude is kept constant, requiring no  
adjustment of the loop compensation. Vin variation also  
affects the ramp amplitude, which will be discussed  
separately in FeedForward section.

converter runs in steady state with its freerunning

chattering. Figure 11 shows the timing diagram. Whenever  
device turns on, LDO always starts with 6.4V, and then  
goes to 4.4V/6.4V depending upon the load condition. For  
internally biased single rail operation, Vin pin should be  
connected to PVin pin, as shown in Figure 11b. If external  
bias voltage is used, Vin pin should be connected to  
Vcc/LDO_Out pin, as shown in Figure 11c.  
FeedForward (F.F.) 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 IR3894,  
F.F. function is enabled when Vin pin is connected to PVin  
pin. In this case, the internal low dropout (LDO) regulator is  
used. The PWM ramp amplitude (Vramp) is proportionally  
changed with Vin to maintain Vin/Vramp almost constant  
throughout Vin variation range (as shown in Fig. 10). Thus,  
the control loop bandwidth and phase margin can be  
maintained constant. Feedforward function can also  
minimize impact on output voltage from fast Vin change.  
The maximum Vin slew rate is within 1V/µs.

IR3894 has an integrated low dropout (LDO) regulator  
which can provide gate drive voltage for both drivers.  
In order to improve overall efficiency over the whole load  
range, LDO voltage is set to 6.4V (typical.) at midor heavy  
load condition to reduce Rds(on) and thus MOSFET  
conduction loss; and it is reduced to 4.4 (typical.) at light  
load condition to reduce gate drive loss.

is used for regulating the output voltage and the other  
two inputs are ignored. In practice the voltage of the other  
two inputs should be about 200mV greater than the  
lowvoltage input so that their effects can completely  
be ignored. Vp is internally biased to 3.3V via a high  
impedance path. For normal operation, Vp and Vref is  
left floating (Vref should have a bypass capacitor).  
Therefore, in normal operating condition, after Enable  
goes high, the internal softstart (Intl_SS) ramps up the  
output voltage until Vfb (voltage of feedback/Fb pin)  
reaches about 0.5V. Then Vref takes over and the output  
voltage is regulated.  
Figure 12: Application Circuit for Simultaneous  
and Ratiometric Sequencing  
Trackingmode operation is achieved by connecting Vref to  
GND. Then, while Vp=0, Enable is taken above its threshold  
so that the softstart circuit generates Intl_SS signal. After  
the Intl_SS signal reaches the final value (refer to Fig.5c) ,  
ramping up the Vp input will ramp up the output voltage.  
In tracking mode, Vfb always follows Vp which means Vout  
is always proportional to Vp voltage (typical for DDR/Vtt  
rail applications). The effective Vp variation range is  
0V~1.2V.  
Tracking and sequencing operations can be implemented  
to be simultaneous or ratiometric (refer to Fig. 13 and 14).  
Figure 12 shows typical circuit configuration for sequencing  
operation. With this powerup configuration, the voltage  
at the Vp pin of the slave reaches 0.5V before the Fb pin of  
the master. If RE/RF =RC/RD, simultaneous startup is  
achieved. That is, the output voltage of the slave follows  
that of the master until the voltage at the Vp pin of the  
slave reaches 0.5 V. After the voltage at the Vp pin of the  
slave exceeds 0.5V, the internal 0.5V reference of the  
slave dictates its output voltage. In reality the regulation  
gradually shifts from Vp to internal Vref. The circuit shown  
in Fig. 12 can also be used for simultaneous or ratiometric  
tracking operation if Vref of the slave is connected to GND.  
Table 2 summarizes the required conditions to achieve  
simultaneous/ratiometric tracking or sequencing  
operations.  
In sequencing mode of operation (simultaneous or  
ratiometric), Vref is left floating and Vp is kept to ground  
level until Intl_SS signal reaches the final value. Then Vp is  
ramped up and Vfb follows Vp. When Vp>0.5V the error‐  
amplifier switches to Vref and the output voltage is  
regulated with Vref. The final Vp voltage after sequencing  
startup should between 0.7V ~ 3.3V.

whenever Vsns voltage is within the PGood comparator  
window thresholds. The PGood pin is open drain and it

This pin reflects the internal reference voltage which is  
used by the error amplifier to set the output voltage. In  
most operating conditions this pin is only connected to an  
external bypass capacitor and it is left floating. A 1nF  
ceramic capacitor is recommended for the bypass  
capacitor. To keep stand by current to minimum, Vref is  
not allowed come up until EN starts going high. In tracking  
mode this pin should be pulled to GND. For margining  
applications, an external voltage source is connected to  
Vref pin and overrides the internal reference voltage. The  
external voltage source should have a low internal  
resistance (<100Ω) and be able to source and sink more  
than 25µA.

SOFTSTOP (S_CTRL)  
Softstop function can make output voltage discharge  
gradually. To enable this function, S_Ctrl is kept low first  
when EN goes high. Then S_Ctrl is pulled high to cross the  
logic level threshold (typical. 2V), the internal softstart  
ramp is initiated. So Vo follows Intl_SS to ramp up until it  
reaches its steady state. In softstop process, S_Ctrl needs  
to be pulled low before EN goes low. After S_Ctrl goes  
below its threshold, a decreasing ramp is generated at  
Intl_SS with the same slope as in softstart ramp. Vo  
follows this ramp to discharge softly until shutdown  
completely. Figure 19 shows the timing diagram of S_Ctrl  
controlled softstart and softstop.  
If the falling edge of Enable signal asserts before S_Ctrl  
falling edge, the converter is still turned off by Enable.  
Both gate drivers are turned off immediately and Vo  
discharges to zero. Figure 20 shows the timing diagram  
of Enable controlled softstart and softstop. Soft stop  
feature also ensures that Vout discharges and also  
regulates the current precisely to zero with no undershoot.  
Figure 17: Vp Sequence and Vref Margin  
OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION (OVP)  
Overvoltage protection in IR3894 is achieved by  
comparing sense pin voltage Vsns to a preset threshold.  
In nontracking mode, OVP threshold is set at 1.2*Vref; in  
tracking mode, it is at 1.2*Vp. When Vsns exceeds the over  
voltage threshold, an over voltage trip signal asserts after  
2us (typical.) delay. Then the high side drive signal HDrv is  
turned off immediately, PGood flags low. The low side  
drive signal is kept on until the Vsns voltage drops below  
the threshold. After that, HDrv is latched off until a reset  
performed by cycling either Vcc or Enable.

MINIMUM ON TIME CONSIDERATIONS  
MAXIMUM DUTY RATIO  
The minimum ON time is the shortest amount of time for  
Ctrl FET to be reliably turned on. This is very critical  
parameter for low duty cycle, high frequency applications.  
Conventional approach limits the pulse width to prevent  
noise, jitter and pulse skipping. This results to lower closed  
loop bandwidth.  
A certain offtime is specified for IR3894. This provides  
an upper limit on the operating duty ratio at any given  
switching frequency. The offtime remains at a relatively  
fixed ratio to switching period in low and mid frequency  
range, while in high frequency range this ratio increases,  
thus the lower the maximum duty ratio at which IR3894  
can operate. Figure 21 shows a plot of the maximum duty  
ratio vs. the switching frequency with built in input voltage  
feed forward.  
IR has developed a proprietary scheme to improve and  
enhance minimum pulse width which utilizes the benefits  
of voltage mode control scheme with higher switching  
frequency, wider conversion ratio and higher closed loop  
bandwidth, the latter results in reduction of output  
capacitors. Any design or application using IR3894 must  
ensure operation with a pulse width that is higher than this  
minimum ontime and preferably higher than 60 ns.  
This is necessary for the circuit to operate without jitter  
and pulseskipping, which can cause high inductor current  
ripple and high output voltage ripple.

Therefore, at the maximum recommended input voltage of  
21V and minimum output voltage, the converter should be  
designed at a switching frequency that does not exceed  
396 kHz. Conversely, for operation at the maximum  
recommended operating frequency (1.65 MHz) and  
minimum output voltage (0.5V). The input voltage (PVin)  
should not exceed 5.05V, otherwise pulse skipping will

DESIGN EXAMPLE  
The following example is a typical application for  
IR3894. The application circuit is shown in Fig.28.  
Output voltage is programmed by reference voltage and  
external voltage divider. The Fb pin is the inverting input of  
the error amplifier, which is internally referenced to 0.5V.  
The divider ratio is set to provide 0.5V at the Fb pin when the  
output is at its desired value. The output voltage is defined by  
using the following equation:

Bootstrap Capacitor Selection  
R1 R2  
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). 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  
(Fig.24), which has a forward voltage drop VD. The voltage Vc  
across the bootstrap capacitor C1 is approximately given as:

choice.

When the control FET turns on in the next cycle, the  
capacitor node connected to SW rises to the bus voltage  
Vin. However, if the value of C1 is appropriately chosen,  
the voltage Vc across C1 remains approximately  
Ceramic capacitors are recommended due to their peak  
current capabilities. They also feature low ESR and ESL at  
higher frequency which enables better efficiency.  
For this application, it is advisable to have 4x10uF, 25V

In addition to these, although not mandatory,  
a 1x330uF, 25V SMD capacitor EEVFK1E331P from 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 (Δi). The optimum point is usually found between  
20% and 50% ripple of the output current.  
For the buck converter, the inductor value for the desired  
operating ripple current can be determined using the  
following relation:

Output Capacitor Selection  
Feedback Compensation  
The voltage ripple and transient requirements  
determine the output capacitors type and values.  
The criteria is normally based on the value of the  
Effective Series Resistance (ESR). However the actual  
capacitance value and the Equivalent Series Inductance  
(ESL) are other contributing components.  
The IR3894 is a voltage mode controller. The control loop  
is a single voltage feedback path including error amplifier  
and error comparator. To achieve fast transient response  
and accurate output regulation, a compensation circuit is  
necessary. The goal of the compensation network is to  
provide a closedloop transfer function with the highest  
0 dB crossing frequency and adequate phase margin (greater  
than 45o).  
These components can be described as:  
V Vo(ESR) Vo(ESL) V

o(C)  
The output LC filter introduces a double pole, 40dB/decade  
gain slope above its corner resonant frequency, and a total  
phase lag of 180o. The resonant frequency of the LC filter is  
expressed as follows:

Since the output capacitor has a major role in the

the result of transient response, selection of the  
capacitor is critical. The IR3894 can perform well with  
all types of capacitors.

As a rule, the capacitor must have low enough ESR to  
meet output ripple and load transient requirements.  
Figure 25: Gain and Phase of LC filter  
The IR3894 uses a voltagetype error amplifier with highgain  
(110dB) and highbandwidth (30MHz). The output of the  
amplifier is available for DC gain control and AC phase  
compensation.  
The goal for this design is to meet the voltage ripple  
requirement in the smallest possible capacitor size.  
Therefore it is advisable to select ceramic capacitors  
due to their low ESR and ESL and small size. Eight of TDK  
C2012X5R0J226M (22uF/0805/X5R/6.3V) capacitors is  
a good choice.  
The error amplifier can be compensated either in type II or  
type III compensation. Type II compensation is shown in Fig.  
26. This method requires that the output capacitors have  
enough ESR to satisfy stability requirements. If the output  
capacitor’s ESR generates a zero at 5kHz to 50kHz, the zero  
generates acceptable phase margin and the Type II  
compensator can be used.  
It is also recommended to use a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor  
at the output for high frequency filtering.

nonsequencing) mode, therefore the PGood thresholds are  
internally set at 90% and 120% of Vref. At startup as soon as  
Vsns voltage reaches 0.9*0.5V=0.45V (Fig. 15), and after  
1.28ms delay, PGood signal is asserted. As long as the Vsns  
voltage is between the threshold range, Enable is high, and no  
fault happens, the PGood remains high.

the output voltage is not in regulation. A typical value used

The critical bypass components such as capacitors for  
Vin, Vcc and Vref 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.  
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.  
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 IR3899 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 IR3899.  
The Power QFN is a thermally enhanced package. Based  
on thermal performance it is recommended to use at  
least a 4layers PCB. To effectively remove heat from the  
device the exposed pad should be connected to the  
ground plane using vias. Figures 46ad illustrates the  
implementation of the layout guidelines outlined above,  
on the IRDC3899 4layer demo board.  
The feedback part of the system should be kept away  
from the inductor and other noise sources.

and processes and experiments should be run to confirm  
the limits of selfcentering on specific processes.

PCB METAL AND COMPONENT PLACEMENT  
Evaluations have shown that the best overall  
performance is achieved using the substrate/PCB layout  
as shown in following figures. PQFN devices should be  
placed to an accuracy of 0.050mm on both X and Y axes.  
Selfcentering behavior is highly dependent on solders

SOLDER RESIST  
However, for the smaller Signal type leads around  
the edge of the device, IR recommends that these  
are Non Solder Mask Defined or Copper Defined.  
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.  
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 inbetween the  
smaller signal lead areas are at least 0.15mm  
wide, due to the high x/y aspect ratio of the  
solder mask strip.

STENCIL DESIGN  
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.  
Stencils for PQFN can be used with thicknesses  
of 0.1000.250mm (0.0040.010"). 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 0.125mm0.200mm (0.0050.008"),  
with suitable reductions, give the best results.
