IRDC3863 SupIRBuck TM USER GUIDE FOR IRDC3863 EVALUATION BOARD DESCRIPTION The IR3863 SupIRBuckTM is an easy-to-use, fully integrated and highly efficient DC/DC voltage regulator. The onboard constant on time hysteretic controller and MOSFETs make IR3863 a space-efficient solution that delivers up to 6A of precisely controlled output voltage in a 4mm x 5mm QFN package. In addition to excellent light load and full load efficiency, the IR3863 offers features such as: a 0.5V reference, programmable switching frequency, temperature compensated over current protection, thermal shutdown and optional forced continuous conduction mode. Additional features include: pre-bias startup, soft start, power good output, enable input with voltage monitoring capability and over/under voltage protection, making the device a very flexible solution that is suitable for a broad range of applications. This user guide contains the schematic, bill of materials, and operating instructions of the IRDC3863 evaluation board. Detailed product specifications, application information and performance curves at different operating conditions are available in the IR3863 data sheet.

A maximum load of 6A may be connected to VOUT and PGND. The connection diagram is shown in Fig. 1, and the inputs and outputs of the board are listed in Table 1. IRDC3863 has two input supplies, one for biasing (VCC) and the other for input voltage (VIN). Separate supplies should be applied to these inputs. VCC input should be a well regulated 4.5V to 5.5V supply connected to VCC and PGND. Enable (EN) is controlled by the first switch of SW1, and FCCM option can be selected by the second switch of SW1. Toggle the switch to the ON position (marked by a solid square) to enable switching or to select FCCM. The absolute maximum voltage of the external signal applied to EN (TP4) and FCCM is +8V.

The minimum lead to lead spacing should be ≥ 0.2mm to minimize shorting. Lead land length should be equal to maximum part lead length + 0.3 mm outboard extension. The outboard extension ensures a large toe fillet that can be easily inspected. Pad lands (the 4 big pads) 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, or no less than 0.1mm for 1 oz. Copper, or no less than 0.23mm for 3 oz. Copper. 12 IRDC3863 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 misalignment. 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. 13 IRDC3863 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 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 in order to decrease the risk of shorting the center land to the lead lands when the part is pushed into the solder paste. 14 IRDC3863 IR WORLD HEADQUARTERS: 233 Kansas St., El Segundo, California 90245, USA Tel: (310) 252-7105 TAC Fax: (310) 252-7903 Visit us at www.irf.com for sales contact information Data and specifications subject to change without notice. 06/2011 15
