The IR3541A is a dual-loop, digital multi-phase buck
controller that drive up to 5 phases. The IR3541A is fully
Intel® VR12 and AMD® SVI compliant on both loops and
provides a Vtt tracking function for DDR memory.
NVM storage saves pins and enables a small package size.
The IR3541A includes the IR Efficiency Shaping Technology
to deliver exceptional efficiency at minimum cost across the
entire load range. IR Variable Gate Drive optimizes the
MOSFET gate drive voltage as a function of real-time load
current. IR Dynamic Phase Control adds/drops active phases
based upon load current. The IR3541A can be configured to
enter 1-phase operation and active diode emulation mode
automatically or by command.
IR’s unique Adaptive Transient Algorithm (ATA), based on
proprietary non-linear digital PWM algorithms, minimizes
output bulk capacitors.
The I2C/PMBus interface can communicate with up to 16
IR3541A based VR loops. Device configuration and fault
parameters are easily defined using the IR Intuitive Power
Designer (DPDC) GUI and stored in
on-chip NVM.
The IR3541A also includes numerous features like register
diagnostics for fast design cycles and platform
differentiation, truly simplifying VRD design and enabling
fastest time-to-market with its “set-and-forget”
methodology.
