“Because SupIRBuck has a unique, scalable common footprint, designers can simply ‘cut and paste’ their design to significantly reduce risk and enable faster-time-to market,” said Tim Phillips, vice president of IR’s Enterprise Power Business Unit. “The addition of the SupIRBuck POL family to IR’s industry-leading XPhase® and DirectFET® multiphase architecture allows us to provide the most efficient and complete power solution for the data center including enterprise servers,” he added.
Designed for four, seven and 12 amps of output load current at 600kHz switching frequency, the IR38xx operates from a wide input voltage range of between 2.5V to 21V, and provides output voltage as low as 0.6V. Common features include pre-bias start up, fixed 600kHz switching frequency, hiccup current limit, thermal shutdown, and precise output voltage regulation. Optional features include tracking, programmable power good, and 300kHz switching frequency to provide an additional two amps of output current capability. The SupIRBuck family’s thermally enhanced package with slim 0.9mm profile, allows mounting on the backside of the motherboard, making the devices ideally suited for space constrained, high-density server applications.
