IRDC3822 SupIRBuck TM USER GUIDE FOR IR3822 EVALUATION BOARD DESCRIPTION The IR3822 is a synchronous buck converter, providing a compact, high performance and flexible solution in a small 5mmx6mm Power QFN package. An 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. Key features offered by the IR3822 include programmable soft-start ramp, precision 0.6V reference voltage, programmable Power Good, thermal protection, fixed 600kHz switching frequency requiring no external component, input under-voltage lockout for proper start-up, and pre-bias start-up. This user guide contains the schematic and bill of materials for the IR3822 evaluation board. The guide describes operation and use of the evaluation board itself. Detailed application information for IR3822 is available in the IR3822 data sheet. BOARD FEATURES * Vin = +12V (13.2V Max) * Vout = +1.8V @ 0- 4A * L= 1.5uH * Cin= 3x10uF (ceramic 1206) * Cout= 4x22uF (ceramic 0805) Rev 0.1 01/07/2008 1 IRDC3822 CONNECTIONS and OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS A well regulated +12V 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. IR3822 has two input supplies, one for biasing (Vcc) and the other as input voltage (Vin). These inputs are connected on the board with a zero ohm resistor (R15). Separate supplies can be applied to these inputs. Vcc input cannot be connected unless R15 is removed. Vcc input should be a well regulated 5V-12V supply and it would be connected to Vcc+ and Vcc-. Table I. Connections Connection Signal Name VIN+ Vin (+12V) VIN- Ground of Vin Vcc+ Optional Vcc input Vcc- Ground for Optional Vcc input VOUT- Ground of Vout VOUT+ Vout (+1.8V) P_Good Power Good Signal LAYOUT The PCB is a 4-layer board. All of layers are 2 Oz. copper. The IR3822 SupIRBuck and all of the passive components are mounted on the top side of the board. Power supply decoupling capacitors, the charge-pump capacitor and feedback components are located close to IR3822. The feedback resistors are connected to the output voltage at the point of regulation and are located close to the SupIRBuck. To improve efficiency, the circuit board is designed to minimize the length of the on-board power ground current path.

The minimum lead to lead spacing should be 0.2mm to minimize shorting. Lead land length should be equal to the maximum part lead length + 0.3 mm outboard extension. The outboard extension ensures a large and inspectable toe fillet. The pad lands (the 4 big pads other than the 11 IC pins) length and width should be equal to maximum part pad length and width. However, the minimum metal to metal spacing should be no less than 0.17mm for 2 oz. Copper; no less than 0.1mm for 1 oz. Copper and no less than 0.23mm for 3 oz. Copper. Rev 0.1 01/07/2008 IRDC3822 Solder Resist It is recommended that the lead lands are Non Solder Mask Defined (NSMD). The solder resist should be pulled away from the metal lead lands by a minimum of 0.025mm to ensure NSMD pads. The land pad should be Solder Mask Defined (SMD), with a minimum overlap of the solder resist onto the copper of 0.05mm to accommodate solder resist mis-alignment. Ensure that the solder resist in between the lead lands and the pad land is 0.15mm due to the high aspect ratio of the solder resist strip separating the lead lands from the pad land. Rev 0.1 01/07/2008 IRDC3822 Stencil Design * * The Stencil apertures for the lead lands should be approximately 80% of the area of the lead lads. Reducing the amount of solder deposited will minimize the occurrences of lead shorts. If too much solder is deposited on the center pad the part will float and the lead lands will be open. The maximum length and width of the land pad stencil aperture should be equal to the solder resist opening minus an annular 0.2mm pull back to decrease the incidence of shorting the center land to the lead lands when the part is pushed into the solder paste.
