IRDC3894-P1V2 SupIRBuck TM USER GUIDE FOR IR3894 EVALUATION BOARD 1.2Vout DESCRIPTION The IR3894 is a synchronous buck converter, providing a compact, high performance and flexible solution in a small 5mm X 6 mm Power QFN package. Key features offered by the IR3894 include internal Digital Soft Start/Soft Stop, precision 0.5Vreference voltage, Power Good, thermal protection, programmable switching frequency, Enable input, input under-voltage lockout for proper start-up, enhanced line/ load regulation with feed forward, external frequency synchronization with smooth clocking, smart internal LDO and pre-bias start-up. 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 and the current limit is thermally compensated. This user guide contains the schematic and bill of materials for the IR3894 evaluation board. The guide describes operation and use of the evaluation board itself. Detailed application information for IR3894 is available in the IR3894 data sheet. BOARD FEATURES • Vin = +12V (+ 13.2V Max) •Vout = +1.2V @ 0- 12A • Fs=600kHz • L= 0.51uH • Cin= 4x10uF (ceramic 1206) + 1X330uF (electrolytic) • Cout=8x22uF (ceramic 0805) 12/5/2012 1 IRDC3894-P1V2 CONNECTIONS AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS A well regulated +12V input supply should be connected to VIN+ and VIN-. A maximum of 12A load should be connected to VOUT+ and VOUT-. The input and output connections of the board are listed in Table I. IR3894 has only one input supply and internal LDO generates Vcc from Vin. If operation with external Vcc is required, then R15 can be removed and external Vcc can be applied between Vcc+ and Vcc- pins. Vin pin and Vcc/LDOout pins should be shorted together for external Vcc operation (use zero ohm resistor for R29). The output can track voltage at the Vp pin. For this purpose, Vref pin is to be connected to ground (use zero ohm resistor for R21). The value of R14 and R28 can be selected to provide the desired tracking ratio between output voltage and the tracking input. Table I.

All layers use 2 Oz. copper. The PCB thickness is 0.062”. The IR3894 and other major power components are mounted on the top side of the board. Power supply decoupling capacitors, the bootstrap capacitor and feedback components are located close to IR3894. The feedback resistors are connected to the output at the point of regulation and are located close to the SupIRBuck IC. To improve efficiency, the circuit board is designed to minimize the length of the on-board power ground current path. 12/5/2012 2 IRDC3894-P1V2 Vin Gnd Gnd Vout Enable Top View VDDQ Vref Sync PGood
