The IR3621 IC combines a dual synchronous buck controller and drivers, providing a cost-effective, high performance
and flexible solution. The IR3621 operates in 2-Phase mode
to produce either 2-independent output voltages or current
share single output for high current application. The 180!
out-of-phase operation allows the reduction of input and
output capacitance.
Other key features include two independently programmable
soft-start functions to allow system level sequencing of output voltages in various configurations. The pre-bias protection feature prevents the discharge of the output voltage and
possible damage to the load during start-up when a preexisting voltage is present at the output. Programmable
switching frequency up to 500KHz per phase allows flexibility to tune the operation of the IC to meet system level requirements, and synchronization allows the simplification
of system level filter design. Protection features such as
selectable hiccup or latched current limit, and under voltage
lock-out are provided to give required system level security
in the event of a fault condition.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Introduction
The IR3621 is a versatile device for high performance
buck converters. It consists of two synchronous buck
controllers which can be operated either in two independent mode or in current share mode.
The timing of the IC is provided by an internal oscillator
circuit which generates two out-of-phase clock that can
be programmed up to 500kHz per phase.
Supply Voltage
Vcc is the supply voltage for internal controller. The operating range is from 5.5V to 14.5V. It also is fed to the
internal LDO. When Vcc is below under-voltage threshold, all MOSFET drivers will be turned off.
In this mode, one control loop acts as a master and sets
the output voltage as a regular Voltage Mode Buck controller and the other control loop acts as a slave and
monitors the current information for current sharing. The
voltage drops across the current sense resistors (or DCR
of inductors) are measured and their difference is amplified by the slave error amplifier and compared with the
ramp signal to generate the PWM pulses to match the
output current. In this mode the SS2 pin should be floating.
IR3621
Comp
PWM Comp1
Internal Regulator
The regulator powers directly from Vcc and generates a
regulated voltage (Typ. 6.2V@40mA). The output is protected for short circuit. This voltage can be used for charge
pump circuitry as shown in Figure12.
Master E/A
PWM Comp2
Independent Mode
In this mode the IR3621 provides control to two independent output power supplies with either common or different input voltages. The output voltage of each individual
channel is set and controlled by the output of the error
amplifier, which is the amplified error signal from the
sensed output voltage and the reference voltage. The
error amplifier output voltage is compared to the ramp
signal thus generating fixed frequency pulses of variable
duty-cycle, which are applied to the FET drivers, Figure19 shows a typical schematic for such application.
Currnt Share Mode
This feature allows to connect both outputs together to
increase current handling capability of the converter to
support a common load. The current sharing can be done
either using external resistors or sensing the DCR of
inductors (see Figure 4).

Input Supplies UnderVoltage LockOut
The IR3621 UVLO block monitors three input voltages
(Vcc, VcH1 and VcH2) to ensure reliable start up. The
MOSFET driver output turn off when any of the supply
voltages drops below set thresholds. Normal operation
resumes once the supply voltages rise above the set
values.
Mode Selection
The SS2 pin is used for mode selection. In current share
mode this pin should be floating and in dual output mode
a soft start capacitor must be connected from this pin to
ground to program the start time for the second output.

time constant L1/R .

Dual Soft-Start
The IR3621 has programmable soft-start to control the
output voltage rise and limit the inrush current during
start-up. It provides a separate Soft-Start function for each
outputs. This will enable to sequence the outputs by
controlling the rise time of each output through selection
of different value soft-start capacitors. The soft-start pins
will be connected together for applications where, both
outputs are required to ramp-up at the same time.
To ensure correct start-up, the soft-start sequence initiates when the Vcc, VcH1 and VcH2 rise above their
threshold and generate 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. During power up, the converter output starts at zero and thus the voltage at Fb is about 0V.
A current (64µA) injects into the Fb pin and generates a
voltage about 1.6V (64µA×25K) across the negative
input of E/A and (see Figure6).
The magnitude of this current is inversely proportional to
the voltage at soft-start pin. The 28µA current source
starts to charge up the external capacitor. In the mean
time, the soft-start voltage ramps up, the current flowing
into Fb pin starts to decrease linearly and so does the
voltage at negative input of E/A.

The E/A will start to operate and the output voltage starts
to increase. As the soft-start capacitor voltage continues to go up, the current flowing into the Fb pin will keep
decreasing. Because the voltage at pin of E/A is regulated to reference voltage 0.8V, the voltage at the Fb is:

The feedback voltage increases linearly as the injecting

The output start-up time is the time period when softstart capacitor voltage increases from 1V to 1.8V. The
start-up time will be dependent on the size of the external soft-start capacitor. The start-up time can be estimated by:
28µA×TSTART/CSS = 1.8V-1V

For a given start up time, the soft-start capacitor can be
calculated by:
CSS ≅ 28µA×TSTART/0.8V
The soft-start is part of the Over Current Protection
scheme, during the overload or short circuit condition
the external soft start capacitors will be charged and
discharged in certain slope rate to achieve the hiccup

Out-of-Phase Operation
The IR3621 drives its two output stages 180! out-of-phase.
In 2-phase configuration, the two inductor ripple currents
cancel each other and result in a reduction of the output
current ripple and yield a smaller output capacitor for the
same ripple voltage requirement.
The critical inductor current can be calculated by setting:

range. There is a 20!C hysteresis in the shutdown threshold.
Power Good
The IR3621 provides a power good signal. The power good
signal should be available after both outputs have reached
regulation. This pin needs to be externally pulled high.
High state indicates that outputs are in regulation.
Power good will be low if either one of the output voltages
is 10% below the set value. There is only one power good
for both outputs.
Over-Voltage Protection OVP
Over-voltage is sensed through separate VOUT sense pins
VSEN1 and VSEN2. A separate OVP circuit is provided for
each output. Upon over-voltage condition of either one of
the outputs, the OVP forces a latched shutdown on both
outputs. In this mode, the upper FET drivers turn off and
the lower FET drivers turn on, thus crowbaring the outputs. Reset is performed by recycling Vcc.
Error Amplifier
The IR3621 is a voltage mode controller. The error amplifiers are of transconductance type. In independent mode,
each amplifier closes the loop around its own output voltage. In current sharing mode, amplifier 1 becomes the
master which regulates the common output voltage. Amplifier 2 performs the current sharing function. Both amplifiers are capable of operating with Type III compensation control scheme.

Operation Frequency Selection
The optimum operating frequency range for the IR3621
is 300kHz per phase, theoretically the IR3621 can be
operated at higher switching frequency (e.g. 500kHz).
However the power dissipation for IC, which is function
of applied voltage, gate drivers load and switching frequency, will result in higher junction temperature of device. It may exceed absolute maximum rating of junction temperature, figure 18 (page 17) shows case temperature versus switching frequency with different capacitive loads for TSSOP package.
This should be considered when using IR3621 for such
application. The below equation shows the relationship
between the IC's maximum power dissipation and Junction temperature:
ΤJ-ΤA
Pd =
θJA
Where:
Tj: Maximum Operating Junction Temperature
TA: Ambient Temperature
θJA = Thermal Impedance of package
The switching frequency is determined by an external
resistor (Rt). The switching frequency is approximately
inversely proportioned to resistance (see Fig 10).

Frequency Synchronization
The IR3621 is capable of accepting an external digital
synchronization signal. Synchronization will be enabled
by the rising edge at an external clock. Per-channel switching frequency is set by external resistor (Rt). The free
running oscillator frequency is twice the per-channel frequency. During synchronization, Rt is selected such that
the free running frequency is 20% below the sync frequency. Synchronization capability is provided for both 2output and 2-phase configurations. When unused, the
Sync pin will remain floating and is noise immune.

Shutdown
The outputs can be shutdown independently by pulling
the respective soft-start pins below 0.3V. This can be
easily done by using an external small signal transistor. During shutdown both MOSFETs will be turned off.
During this mode the LDO will stay on. Normal operation will resume by cycling soft start pins.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Design Example:
The following example is a typical application for the
IR3621, the schematic is Figure19 on page18.
VIN = 12V
VOUT(2.5V) = 2.5V @ 10A
VOUT(1.8V) = 1.8V @ 10A
∆VOUT = Output voltage ripple ≅ 3% of VOUT
FS = 400kHz
Output Voltage Programming
Output voltage is programmed by the reference voltage
and an external voltage divider. The Fb1 pin is the inverting input of the error amplifier, which is referenced to the
voltage on the non-inverting pin of error amplifier. For this
application, this pin (VP2) is connected to the reference
voltage (VREF). The output voltage is defined by using the
following equation:

Where tSTART is the desired start-up time (ms)
For a start-up time of 4ms for both output, the soft-start
capacitor will be 0.1µF. Connect two 0.1µFceramic
capacitors from SS1 pin and SS2 pin to GND.
Supply VcH1 and VcH2
To drive the high side MOSFET, 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 12. This method is simple
and inexpensive. The operation of the circuit is as follows: when the lower MOSFET is turned on, the capacitor (C1) charges up to VOUT3, through the diode
(D1). The bus voltage will be added to this voltage when
upper MOSFET turns on in next cycle, and providing
supply voltage (VcH1) through diode (D2). VcH1 is approximately:
VCH1 ≅ VOUT3 + VBUS - (VD1 + VD2)

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:
Figure 11 - Typical application of the IR3621 for programming the output voltage.
Capacitor in the range of 0.1µF is generally adequate
for most applications. The diode must be a fast recovery device to minimize the amount of charge fed back
from the charge pump capacitor into VOUT3. The diodes
need to be able to block the full power rail voltage, which
is seen when the high side MOSFET is switched on.
For low voltage application, Schottky diodes can be
used to minimize forward drop across the diodes at
start up.

Input Capacitor Selection
The 1800 out of phase will reduce the RMS value of the
ripple current seen by input capacitors. This reduces
numbers of input capacitors. The input capacitors must
be selected that can handle both the maximum ripple
RMS at highest ambient temperature as well as the
maximum input voltage. The RMS value of current ripple
for duty cycles under 50% is expressed by:
2
2
2
IRMS= (I1 D1(1-D1)+I D2(1-D2)-2I1I2D1D2) --- (6)
Where:
IRMS is the RMS value of the input capacitor current
D1 and D2 are the duty cycle for each output
I1 and I2 are the current for each output
For this application the IRMS =4.8A
For higher efficiency, low ESR capacitors are recommended.
Choose two Poscap from Sanyo 16TPB47M (16V, 47µF,
70mΩ ) with a maximum allowable ripple current of 1.4A
for inputs of each channel.
Inductor Selection
The inductor is selected based on operating frequency,
transient performance and allowable output voltage ripple.
Low inductor values result in faster response to step
load (high ∆i/∆t) and smaller size but will cause larger
output ripple due to increased inductor ripple current. As
a rule of thumb, select an inductor that produces a ripple
current of 10-40% of full load DC.
For the buck converter, the inductor value for desired
operating ripple current can be determined using the following relation:
∆i
VOUT

; ∆t = D×
;D=

VIN
fS

L = (VIN - VOUT)×

VIN×∆i×fS
Where:
VIN = Maximum Input Voltage
VOUT = Output Voltage
∆i = Inductor Ripple Current
fS = Switching Frequency
∆t = Turn On Time
D = Duty Cycle
VIN - VOUT = L×
For ∆i(1.8V) = 35%(IO(1.8V) ), then the output inductor will
be:
L3 = 1.1µH
Panasonic provides a range of inductors in different values and low profile for large currents.
Choose ETQP6F1R1BFA (1.1µH, 16A, 2.2mΩ) both for
L3 and L4.
For 2-phase application, equation (7) can be used for
calculating the inductors value. In such case the inductor ripple current is usually chosen to be between 1040% of maximum phase current.
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:
(ESL, Equivalent Series Inductance is neglected)
∆VO
ESR ≤
---(8)
∆IO
Where:
∆VO = Output Voltage Ripple
∆i = Inductor Ripple Current
∆VO = 3% of VO will result to ESR(2.5V) =16.6mΩ and
ESR(1.8V) =16mΩ
The Sanyo TPC series, Poscap capacitor is a good choice.
The 6TPC330M, 330µF, 6.3V has an ESR 40mΩ. Selecting three of these capacitors in parallel for 2.5V output, results to an ESR of ≅ 13.3mΩ which achieves our
low ESR goal. And selecting three of these capacitors in
parallel for 1.8V output, results in an ESR of ≅ 13.3mΩ
which achieves our low ESR goal.
The capacitors value must be high enough to absorb the
inductor's ripple current.
Power MOSFET Selection
The IR3621 uses four N-Channel MOSFETs. The selection criteria to meet power transfer requirements is based
on maximum drain-source voltage (VDSS), gate-source
drive voltage (VGS), maximum output current, On-resistance RDS(ON) and thermal management.
For ∆i(2.5V) = 45%(IO(2.5V) ), then the output inductor will
be:
The both control and synchronous MOSFETs must have
a maximum operating voltage (VDSS) that exceeds the
maximum input voltage (VIN).
L4 = 1.1µH
12
www.irf.com
IR3621 & (PbF)
The gate drive requirement is almost the same for both
MOSFETs. Logic-level transistors 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 in a shoot-through.
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:
VDS(OFF) tr + tf

VGS
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 IRF7821 for control MOSFETs and IRF8113 for
synchronous MOSFETs. These devices provide low onresistance in a compact SOIC 8-Pin package.

The MOSFETs have the following data:
IRF7821
VDSS = 30V
RDS(on) = 9mΩ
td(ON)
IRF8113
VDSS = 30V
RDS(on) = 6mΩ
By using equation (9), we can calculate the total switching losses.
The total conduction losses for each output will be:
PCON(TOTAL, 2.5V) = PCON(UPPER) + PCON(LOWER)
PCON(TOTAL, 2.5V) = 1.0W
PSW(TOTAL,2.5V) = 0.18W
PSW(TOTAL,1.8V) = 0.18W
Programming the Over-Current Limit
The over-current threshold can be set by connecting a
resistor (RSET) from drain of low side MOSFET to the
OCSet pin. The resistor can be calculated by using equation (3).
PCON(TOTAL, 1.8V) = PCON(UPPER) + PCON(LOWER)
PCON(TOTAL, 1.8V) = 1.0W
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. The
control MOSFET contributes to the majority of the switching losses in a synchronous Buck converter. The synchronous MOSFET turns on under zero voltage conditions, therefore, the switching losses for synchronous
MOSFET can be neglected. With a linear approximation, the total switching loss can be expressed as:
The RDS(on) has a positive temperature coefficient and it
should be considered for the worse case operation.
RDS(on) = 6mΩ×1.5 = 9mΩ
ISET ≅ IO(LIM) = 10A×1.5 = 15A
(50% over nominal output current)
This results to:
RSET = R1=R6=6.75KΩ
This resistor must be placed close to the IC, place a
small ceramic capacitor from this pin to ground for noise
rejection purposes.

Feedback Compensation
The IR3621 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 45!).

follows:

The IR3621’s error amplifier is a differential-input transconductance amplifier. The output is available for DC gain
control or AC phase compensation.
The E/A can be compensated with or without the use of
local feedback. When operated without local feedback,
the transconductance properties of the E/A become evident and can be used to cancel one of the output filter
poles. This will be accomplished with a series RC circuit
from Comp pin to ground as shown in Figure 15.
Note that this method requires the output capacitor to
have enough ESR to satisfy stability requirements. In
general, the output capacitor’s ESR generates a zero
typically at 5kHz to 50kHz which is essential for an acceptable phase margin.

The stability requirement will be satisfied by placing the
poles and zeros of the compensation network according
to following design rules. The consideration has been
taken to satisfy condition (16) regarding transconductance error amplifier.
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 response. The DC gain will be large enough to provide high DC-regulation accuracy (typically -5dB to -12dB).
The phase margin should be greater than 45! for overall
stability.

Compensation for Slave Error Amplfier for 2-Phase

The slave error amplifier is a differential-input transconductance amplifier, in 2-phase configuration the main goal

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.
Start by placing 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 as close to each other as possible. This helps
to reduce the EMI radiated by the power traces due to
the high switching. Place input capacitor near to the
drain of the high-side MOSFET.
The layout of driver section should be designed for a low
resistance (a wide, short trace) and low inductance (a
wide trace with ground return path directly beneath it),
this directly affects the driver's performance.
To reduce the ESR, replace the one input capacitor with
two parallel ones. The feedback part of the system should
be kept away from the inductor and other noise sources
and must be placed close to the IC. In multilayer PCBs,
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 paths to a separate loops 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.
