Infineon IR3895MTRPBF: A High-Performance 6A PMBus-Programmable Synchronous Buck Converter
In the realm of power management, efficiency, control, and flexibility are paramount. The Infineon IR3895MTRPBF addresses these demands head-on, offering designers a robust and highly configurable solution for a wide range of applications. This synchronous buck converter integrates a PMBus digital interface with a high-performance analog controller and MOSFETs, creating a compact, intelligent power conversion module.
A key strength of the IR3895MTRPBF is its wide input voltage range of 4.5V to 21V, making it exceptionally versatile for systems powered from industry-standard 12V or 19V bus rails, as well as a variety of other sources. It delivers a substantial output current of up to 6A with high efficiency, achieved through its synchronous rectification topology and low RDS(on) integrated MOSFETs. This high level of integration simplifies design, reduces the external component count, and saves valuable board space.
The inclusion of the SMBus/PMBus 1.2 compliant digital interface is what truly sets this converter apart. It allows for real-time monitoring of critical parameters such as output voltage, output current, temperature, and input voltage. More importantly, it enables precise, on-the-fly programmability of the output voltage, soft-start timing, switching frequency, and various fault protection thresholds like over-current (OCP), over-voltage (OVP), and over-temperature (OTP). This programmability is invaluable for advanced systems requiring adaptive voltage scaling or complex power sequencing.
Designed with robustness in mind, the module features a full suite of protection functions and is capable of operating in a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C, ensuring reliability in harsh environments. Its high switching frequency, programmable up to 1.5 MHz, allows for the use of smaller inductors and capacitors, optimizing the solution size without compromising performance.
Typical applications span across diverse fields, including:
Server, Storage, and Networking Systems
Telecommunications and Datacom Equipment
FPGA, DSP, and ASIC Power Supplies
Industrial PCs and Automated Test Equipment
