IRDC3891 SupIRBuck TM USER GUIDE FOR IRDC3891 EVALUATION BOARD DESCRIPTION The IR3891 is a dual synchronous buck converter, providing a compact, high performance and flexible solution in a small 5mm X 6mm Power QFN package. Key features offered by the IR3891 include internal Digital Soft Start, precision 0.5V reference 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, internal LDO, pre-bias start-up, output over voltage protection as well as open feedback line protection. 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 IRDC3891 evaluation board. The guide describes operation and use of the evaluation board itself. Detailed application information for IR3891 is available in the IR3891 data sheet. BOARD FEATURES • Vin = +12.0V • Fs = 600kHz • Vout1 = +1.8V @ 4A Vout2 = +1.2V @ 4A • L1 = 2.2uH L2 = 1.5uH • Cout1=4x22uF (ceramic 0805) Cout2=4x22uF (ceramic 0805) • Cin= 4x10uF (ceramic 1206) + 1x330uF (electrolytic) 04-30-2013 1 AL IRDC3891 CONNECTIONS and OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS A well regulated +12.0V input supply should be connected to VIN+ and VIN-. A maximum 4A 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. IR3891 has only one input supply and internal LDO generates Vcc from Vin. If operation with external Vcc is required, then R3 should be removed and external Vcc should be applied between Vcc+ and Vcc- pins. Vin pin (input of the LDO) and Vcc/LDO pins should be shorted together (populate R4) for external Vcc operation. The output of channel2 (Vout2) can follow the voltage at the Seq pin. For this purpose, The value of R5 and R6 can be selected to provide the desired sequencing ratio between Seq input and Vout2. For normal operation (non-sequencing) Seq pin should be left floating. Seq pin is internally pulled up to 3.3V. Table I.

All of layers are 2 Oz. copper. The IR3891 and other components are mounted on the top and bottom side of the board. Power supply decoupling capacitors, the Bootstrap capacitor and feedback components are located close to IR3891. The feedback resistors are connected to the output voltage at the point of regulation and are located close to IR3891. To improve efficiency, the circuit board is designed to minimize the length of the on-board power ground current path. 04-30-2013 2 AL IRDC3891 Connection Diagram V OUT1 V OUT2 GROUND GROUND PGood1 SEQ PGood2 Sync Vsns1 EN1 Vsns2 EN2 VPG Vcc/LDO_out Vin GROUND Fig. 1: Connection diagram of IRDC3891 evaluation board (top and bottom) 04-30-2013 3 AL IRDC3891 R50 is the Single point connection between AGND and PGND.
