DESCRIPTION
The IR3579A exposed-top integrated PowIRstage^®
contains a synchronous buck gate driver IC which is co-
packed with control and synchronous MOSFETs and a
Schottky diode to further improve efficiency. The
package is optimized for PCB layout, heat transfer,
driver/MOSFET control timing, and minimal switch node
ringing when layout guidelines are followed. The paired
gate driver and MOSFET combination enables higher
efficiency at lower output voltages required by cutting
edge CPU, GPU, ASIC and DDR memory designs.
The IR3579A PowIRstage^® internal MOSFET current
sense algorithm with integrated temperature
compensation achieves superior current sense
accuracy vs. best-in-class controller based inductor
DCR sense methods. Other features include internal
cycle-by-cycle self-preservation over current protection
and flag, phase fault flag, over temperature protection
and flag, and internal package temperature reporting.
Up to 1.0MHz switching frequency enables high
performance transient response, allowing
miniaturization of output inductors, as well as input and
output capacitors while maintaining industry leading
efficiency.
When combined with IR’s digital controllers, the
IR3579A incorporates the Body-Braking™ feature
through PWM tri-state which enables reduction of
output capacitors. Synchronous diode-emulation mode
is also supported through a built-in ZCD_EN# enabled
zero-cross detect circuit in the IR3579A which
increases system light-load efficiency.
The IR3579A is optimized for CPU core power delivery
in server applications. The ability to meet the stringent
requirements of the server market also makes the
IR3579A ideally suited for powering GPU, ASIC, DDR
memory, and other high current designs.
