IR has introduced its IR3823 SupIRBuck integrated voltage regulator designed for space-constrained applications.
The IR3823 delivers up to 3A with superior efficiency in an ultra-compact 3.5x3.5mm package. Efficiencies in excess of 97.5% are obtainable for designs converting power from a 6V input to a 4.8V output. The extremely high initial efficiency allows switching at up to 1.5MHz from a 12V supply to enable a complete 3A power supply solution in less than 130mm2. Featuring constant frequency and virtually jitter-free operation with synchronization capability, the new device is well suited to noise-sensitive applications, while the higher bandwidth reduces component count to shrink PCB footprint. A tri-level selectable soft-start feature is also offered for ease of sequencing.
Offering excellent thermal performance, the IR3823 is an easy-to-implement solution in less than 130mm2 that allows power conversion directly from a 12V input for space constrained, low current point-of-load applications that require benchmark performance.
The IR3823 features programmable switching frequency from 300kHz to 1.5MHz. Other key functions include thermally compensated over-current protection, output over-voltage protection and thermal shutdown.
