USER GUIDE FOR IR3841 EVALUATION BOARD
DESCRIPTION
The IR3841 is a synchronous buck
converter, providing a compact, high
performance and flexible solution in a small
5mmx6mm Power QFN package.
An output over-current protection function is
implemented by sensing the voltage developed
across the on-resistance of the synchronous
rectifier MOSFET for optimum cost and
performance.
Key features offered by the IR3841 include
programmable soft-start ramp, precision
0.7V reference voltage, Power Good,
thermal protection, programmable switching
frequency, Sequence input, Enable input,
input under-voltage lockout for proper startup, and pre-bias start-up.
This user guide contains the schematic and bill
of materials for the IR3841 evaluation board.
The guide describes operation and use of the
evaluation board itself. Detailed application
information for IR3841 is available in the
IR3841 data sheet.

CONNECTIONS and OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
A well regulated +12V input supply should be connected to VIN+ and VIN-. A maximum 8A load should be
connected to VOUT+ and VOUT-. The connection diagram is shown in Fig. 1 and inputs and outputs of the
board are listed in Table I.
IR3841 has two input supplies, one for biasing (Vcc) and the other as input voltage (Vin). Separate supplies
should be applied to these inputs. Vcc input should be a well regulated 4.5V-5.5V supply and it would be
connected to Vcc+ and Vcc-.
If single 12V application is required connect R7 (zero Ohm resistor) which enables the on board bias
regulator (see schematic). In this case there is no need of external Vcc supply.
The output can track a sequencing input at the start-up. For sequencing application, R16 should be
removed and the external sequencing source should be applied between Seq. and Agnd. The value of R14
and R28 can be selected to provide the desired ratio between the output voltage and the tracking input. For
proper operation of IR3841, the voltage at Seq. pin should not exceed Vcc.

LAYOUT
The PCB is a 4-layer board. All of layers are 2 Oz. copper. The IR3841 SupIRBuck and all of the
passive components are mounted on the top side of the board.
Power supply decoupling capacitors, the Bootstrap capacitor and feedback components are located
close to IR3841. The feedback resistors are connected to the output voltage at the point of regulation
and are located close to the SupIRBuck. To improve efficiency, the circuit board is designed to
minimize the length of the on-board power ground current path.

Simultaneous Tracking at Power Up and Power Down
Vin=12V, Vo=1.8V, Io=8A, Room Temperature, No Air Flow
In order to run the IR3841 in the simultaneous tracking mode, the following steps should be
taken:
- Remove R16 from the board.
- Set the value of R14 and R28 as R2 (4.02K) and R3 (2.55K), respectively.
- Connect the controlling input across SEQ and AGND test points on the board. This voltage
should be at least 1.15 time greater than Vo. For the following test results a 0-3.3V source is
applied to SEQ pin.
- The controlling input should be applied after the SS pin is clamped to 3.0V.

PCB Metal and Components Placement
The lead lands (the 11 IC pins) width should be equal to the nominal part lead width. The minimum
lead to lead spacing should be ≥ 0.2mm to minimize shorting.
Lead land length should be equal to the maximum part lead length + 0.3 mm outboard extension. The
outboard extension ensures a large and inspectable toe fillet.
The pad lands (the 4 big pads other than the 11 IC pins) length and width should be equal to
maximum part pad length and width. However, the minimum metal to metal spacing should be no less
than 0.17mm for 2 oz. Copper; no less than 0.1mm for 1 oz. Copper and no less than 0.23mm for 3 oz.
Copper.
02/02/2009
IRDC3841
Solder Resist
It is recommended that the lead lands are Non Solder Mask Defined (NSMD). The solder resist
should be pulled away from the metal lead lands by a minimum of 0.025mm to ensure NSMD
pads.
The land pad should be Solder Mask Defined (SMD), with a minimum overlap of the solder resist
onto the copper of 0.05mm to accommodate solder resist mis-alignment.
Ensure that the solder resist in between the lead lands and the pad land is ≥ 0.15mm due to the
high aspect ratio of the solder resist strip separating the lead lands from the pad land.
02/02/2009
IRDC3841
Stencil Design
•
•
The Stencil apertures for the lead lands should be approximately 80% of the area of the
lead lads. Reducing the amount of solder deposited will minimize the occurrences of lead
shorts. If too much solder is deposited on the center pad the part will float and the lead
lands will be open.
The maximum length and width of the land pad stencil aperture should be equal to the
solder resist opening minus an annular 0.2mm pull back to decrease the incidence of
shorting the center land to the lead lands when the part is pushed into the solder paste.
