applications such DDR memory and general purpose
on-board DC to DC converter. Modern micro processors

Output driver for the synchronous power MOSFET.
Analog ground for internal reference and control circuitry. Connect to PGnd with a short
trace.
This pin serves as the separate ground for MOSFET's drivers and should be connected to
system's ground plane. A high frequency capacitor (0.1 to 1mF) must be connected from
Vcc and Vc pins to this pin for noise free operation.
Output driver for the high side power MOSFET. Connect a diode, such as BAT54 or 1N4148,
from this pin to ground for the application when the inductor current goes negative (Source/
Sink), soft-start at no load and for the fast load transient from full load to no load.
This pin is connected to a voltage that must be at least 4V higher than the bus voltage of
the switcher (assuming 5V threshold MOSFET) and powers the high side output driver. A
minimum of 1mF, high frequency capacitor must be connected from this pin to ground to
provide peak drive current capability.
The switching frequency can be Programmed between 200KHz and 400KHz by connecting a resistor between Rt and Gnd. Floating the pin set the switching frequency to 200KHz
and grounding the pin set the switching frequency to 400KHz.
Compensation pin of the error amplifier. An external resistor and capacitor network is
typically connected from this pin to ground to provide loop compensation.
This pin provides soft-start for the switching regulator. An internal current source charges
an external capacitor that is connected from this pin to ground which ramps up the output
of the switching regulator, preventing it from overshooting as well as limiting the input
current. The converter can be shutdown by pulling this pin below 0.5V.

THEORY OF OPERATION
Introduction
The IRU3038 is a fixed frequency, voltage mode synchronous controller and consists of a precision reference voltage, an uncommitted error amplifier, an internal
oscillator, a PWM comparator, 0.5A peak gate driver,
soft-start and shutdown circuits (see Block Diagram).
The output voltage of the synchronous converter is set
and controlled by the output of the error amplifier; this is
the amplified error signal from the sensed output voltage
and the voltage on non-inverting input of error amplifier(V P).
This voltage is compared to a fixed frequency linear
sawtooth ramp and generates fixed frequency pulses of
variable duty-cycle, which drives the two N-channel external MOSFETs.
The timing of the IC is provided through an internal oscillator circuit which uses on-chip capacitor. The oscillation frequency is programmable between 200 to 400KHz
by using an external resistor. Figure 12 shows switching frequency vs. external resistor (Rt).
Soft-Start
The IRU3038 has a programmable soft-start to control
the output voltage rise and limit the current surge at the
start-up. To ensure correct start-up, the soft-start sequence initiates when the Vc and Vcc rise above their
4
threshold (3.3V and 4.2V respectively) and generates
the Power On Reset (POR) signal. Soft-start function
operates by sourcing an internal current to charge an
external capacitor to about 3V. Initially, the soft-start function clamps the E/A’s output of the PWM converter. As
the charging voltage of the external capacitor ramps up,
the PWM signals increase from zero to the point the
feedback loop takes control.
Short-Circuit Protection
The outputs are protected against the short-circuit. The
IRU3038 protects the circuit for shorted output by sensing the output voltage (through the external resistor divider). The IRU3038 shuts down the PWM signals, when
the output voltage drops below 0.6V.
The IRU3038 also protects the output from over-voltaging
when the control FET is shorted. This is done by turning
on the sync FET with the maximum duty cycle.
Under-Voltage Lockout
The under-voltage lockout circuit assures that the
MOSFET driver outputs remain in the off state whenever
the supply voltage drops below set parameters. Lockout
occurs if Vc and Vcc fall below 3.3V and 4.2V respectively. Normal operation resumes once Vc and Vcc rise
above the set values.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Design Example:
The following example is a typical application for IRU3038,
the schematic is Figure 11 on page 12.

VOUT = 2.5V
IOUT = 8A
DVOUT = 100mV
fS = 200KHz

( VV
OUT
P
For a start-up time of 7.5ms, the soft-start capacitor will
be 0.1mF. Choose a ceramic capacitor at 0.1mF.
Shutdown
The converter can be shutdown by pulling the soft-start
pin below 0.5V. The control MOSFET turns off and the
synchronous MOSFET turns on during shutdown.
Boost Supply Vc
To drive the high-side switch it is necessary to supply a
gate voltage at least 4V greater than the bus voltage.
This is achieved by using a charge pump configuration
as shown in Figure 11. The capacitor is charged up to
approximately twice the bus voltage. A capacitor in the
range of 0.1mF to 1mF is generally adequate for most
applications. In application, when a separate voltage
source is available the boost circuit can be avoided as
shown in Figure 1.
Input Capacitor Selection
The input filter capacitor should be based on how much
ripple the supply can tolerate on the DC input line. The
ripple current generated during the on time of control
MOSFET should be provided by input capacitor. The RMS
value of this ripple is expressed by:
IRMS = IOUT
D3(1-D)
---(3)
Where:
D is the Duty Cycle, D=VOUT/VIN.
IRMS is the RMS value of the input capacitor current.
IOUT is the output current for each channel.
)

Choose R5 = 1KV
This will result to R6 = 1KV
For VIN=5V, IOUT=8A and D=0.5, the IRMS=4A
If the high value feedback resistors are used, the input
bias current of the Fb pin could cause a slight increase
in output voltage. The output voltage set point can be
more accurate by using precision resistor.

Output Voltage Programming
Output voltage is programmed by reference voltage and
external voltage divider. The Fb pin is the inverting input
of the error amplifier, which is referenced to the voltage
on non-inverting pin of error amplifier. For this application, this pin (V P) is connected to reference voltage (V REF).
The output voltage is defined by using the following equation:

VOUT = VP 3 1 +

Soft-Start Programming
The soft-start timing can be programmed by selecting
the soft-start capacitance value. The start-up time of the
converter can be calculated by using:
For higher efficiency, a low ESR capacitor is recommended. Choose two Poscap from Sanyo 10TPB100ML
(10V, 100mF, 55mV) with a maximum allowable ripple
current of 1.9A.

IRU3038
Output Capacitor Selection
The criteria to select the output capacitor is normally
based on the value of the Effective Series Resistance
(ESR). In general, the output capacitor must have low
enough ESR to meet output ripple and load transient
requirements, yet have high enough ESR to satisfy stability requirements. The ESR of the output capacitor is
calculated by the following relationship:
ESR [
DVO
DIO
---(4)
If Di = 30%(IO), then the output inductor will be:
L = 2.6mH
The Coilcraft DO5022HC series provides a range of inductors in different values, low profile suitable for large
currents, 3.3mH, 10A is a good choice for this application. This will result to a ripple approximately 26.5% of
output current.
Power MOSFET Selection
The IRU3038 uses two N-Channel MOSFETs. The selections criteria to meet power transfer requirements is
based on maximum drain-source voltage (V DSS), gatesource drive voltage (V GS), maximum output current, Onresistance RDS(ON) and thermal management.
Where:
DVO = Output Voltage Ripple
DIO = Output Current
DVO=100mV and DIO=4A
This results to: ESR=25mV
The Sanyo TPC series, Poscap capacitor is a good choice.
The 6TPC150M 150mF, 6.3V has an ESR 40mV. Selecting two of these capacitors in parallel, results to an
ESR of ≅ 20mV which achieves our low ESR goal.
The capacitor value must be high enough to absorb the
inductor's ripple current. The larger the value of capacitor, the lower will be the output ripple voltage.
Inductor Selection
The inductor is selected based on output power, operating frequency and efficiency requirements. Low inductor
value causes large ripple current, resulting in the smaller
size, but poor efficiency and high output noise. Generally, the selection of inductor value can be reduced to
desired maximum ripple current in the inductor (∆i). The
optimum point is usually found between 20% and 50%
ripple of the output current.
The MOSFET must have a maximum operating voltage
(V DSS) exceeding the maximum input voltage (V IN).
The gate drive requirement is almost the same for both
MOSFETs. Logic-level transistor can be used and caution should be taken with devices at very low VGS to prevent undesired turn-on of the complementary MOSFET,
which results a shoot-through current.
The total power dissipation for MOSFETs includes conduction and switching losses. For the Buck converter,
the average inductor current is equal to the DC load current. The conduction loss is defined as:
2
PCOND (Upper Switch) = ILOAD 3 RDS(ON) 3 D 3 q
2
PCOND (Lower Switch) = ILOAD 3 RDS(ON) 3 (1 - D) 3 q
q = RDS(ON) Temperature Dependency
For the buck converter, the inductor value for desired
operating ripple current can be determined using the following relation:

L = (V IN - VOUT)3

VIN - VOUT = L3
Where:
VIN = Maximum Input Voltage
VOUT = Output Voltage
∆i = Inductor Ripple Current
fS = Switching Frequency
∆t = Turn On Time
D = Duty Cycle

The RDS(ON) temperature dependency should be considered for the worst case operation. This is typically given
in the MOSFET data sheet. Ensure that the conduction
losses and switching losses do not exceed the package
ratings or violate the overall thermal budget.
Choose IRF7460 for both control MOSFET and synchronous MOSFET. This device provides low on-resistance
in a compact SOIC 8-Pin package.

The MOSFET has the following data:
Feedback Compensation
The IRU3038 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 closed loop transfer function with
the highest 0dB crossing frequency and adequate phase
margin (greater than 458).

VDSS = 20V
ID = 10A @ 758C
RDS(ON) = 10mV @ VGS=10V
q = 1.8 for 1508C (Junction Temperature)
The total conduction losses will be:
PCON(TOTAL) = 1.152W
The switching loss is more difficult to calculate, even
though the switching transition is well understood. The
reason is the effect of the parasitic components and
switching times during the switching procedures such
as turn-on / turnoff delays and rise and fall times. With a
linear approximation, the total switching loss can be expressed as:
VDS(OFF) tr + tf

The E/A can be compensated with or without the use of

from Comp pin to ground as shown in Figure 6.

be taken when loading the E/A output. It may exceed its
source/sink output current capability, so that the amplifier will not be able to swing its output voltage over the
necessary range.
The compensation network has three poles and two zeros and they are expressed as follows:

3) Place first zero before LC’s resonant frequency pole.

If not, change R7 selection.

Layout Consideration
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.
If R8 is too small, increase R7 and start from step 2.
7) Place second zero around the resonant frequency.
FZ2 = FLC
R6 =
1
- R8
2p 3 C10 3 FZ2
8) Use equation (1) to calculate R5:
R5 =
VREF
3 R6
VOUT - VREF
These design rules will give a crossover frequency approximately one-tenth of the switching frequency. The
higher the band width, the potentially faster the load transient speed. The gain margin will be large enough to
provide high DC-regulation accuracy (typically -5dB to 12dB). The phase margin should be greater than 458 for
overall stability.
Start to place the power components. Make all the connections in the top layer with wide, copper filled areas.
The inductor, output capacitor and the MOSFET should
be 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 input capacitor
directly to the drain of the high-side MOSFET. To reduce
the ESR, replace the single input capacitor with two parallel units. The feedback part of the system should be
kept away from the inductor and other noise sources
and be placed close to the IC. In multilayer PCB, use
one layer as power ground plane and have a separate
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.
IC Quiescent Power Dissipation
Power dissipation for IC controller is a function of applied voltage, gate driver loads and switching frequency.
The IC's maximum power dissipation occurs when the
IC operating with single 12V supply voltage (Vcc=12V
and Vc≅24V) at 400KHz switching frequency and maximum gate loads.
This IC's power dissipation results to an excessive temperature rise and should be considered when using
IRU3038 for such an application.
