Description
The IR3841W SupIRBuck
TM
is an easy-to-use,
fully integrated and highly efficient DC/DC
synchronous Buck regulator. The MOSFETs co-
packaged with the on-chip PWM controller make
IR3841W a space-efficient solution, providing
accurate power delivery for low output voltage
applications.
IR3841W is a versatile regulator which offers
programmability of start up time, switching
frequency and current limit while operating in
wide input and output voltage range.
The switching frequency is programmable from
250kHz to 1.5MHz for an optimum solution.
It also features important protection functions,
such as Pre-Bias startup, hiccup current limit and
thermal shutdown to give required system level
security in the event of fault conditions.

Pin Description
Pin
Name
Description
1 Seq
Sequence pin. Use two external resistors to set Simultaneous Power up
sequencing. If this pin is not used connect to Vcc.
2 Fb
Inverting input to the error amplifier. This pin is connected directly to the
output of the regulator via resistor divider to set the output voltage and
provide feedback to the error amplifier.
3 Comp
Output of error amplifier. An external resistor and capacitor network is
typically connected from this pin to Fb pin to provide loop
compensation.
4
Gnd
Signal ground for internal reference and control circuitry.
5 Rt
Set the switching frequency. Connect an external resistor from this pin
to Gnd to set the switching frequency.
6 SS/SD
¯¯
Soft start / shutdown. This pin provides user programmable soft-start
function. Connect an external capacitor from this pin to Gnd to set the
start up time of the output voltage. The converter can be shutdown by
pulling this pin below 0.3V.
7 OCSet
Current limit set point. A resistor from this pin to SW pin will set the
current limit threshold.
8
PGood
Power Good status pin. Output is open drain. Connect a pull up resistor
from this pin to Vcc. If unused, it can be left open.
9
V
CC
This pin powers the internal IC and the drivers. A minimum of 1uF high
frequency capacitor must be connected from this pin to the power
ground (PGnd).
10 PGnd
Power Ground. This pin serves as a separated ground for the MOSFET
drivers and should be connected to the system’s power ground plane.
11
SW
Switch node. This pin is connected to the output inductor.
12
V
IN
Input voltage connection pin.
13 Boot
Supply voltage for high side driver. A 0.1uF capacitor must be
connected from this pin to SW.
14 Enable
Enable pin to turn on and off the device. Use two external resistors to
set the turn on threshold (see Enable section). Connect this pin to Vcc if
it is not used.
15
Gnd
Signal ground for internal reference and control circuitry.
