DESCRIPTION
The IR3563A is a single-loop digital multi-phase buck
controller that controls up to 8 phases. The IR3563A is
fully Intel® VR12 and VR12.5 compliant.
The IR3563A includes IR’s 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
based on real-time load current. IR’s Dynamic Phase
Control adds/drops phases based upon load current.
The IR3563A 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 IR3563A-based VR loops. Device configuration and
fault parameters are easily defined using the IR Digital
Power Design Center (DPDC) GUI and stored in on-chip
MTP. MTP storage saves pins and enables a small
package size.
The IR3563A provides extensive OVP, UVP, OCP and
OTP fault protection and includes thermistor based
temperature sensing with VRHOT signal.
The IR3563A also includes numerous features like register
diagnostics for fast design cycles and platform
differentiation, simplifying VRD design and enabling fastest
time-to-market with its “set-and-forget” methodology.
