IRDC3871 SupIRBuck TM USER GUIDE FOR IRDC3871 EVALUATION BOARD DESCRIPTION The IR3871 SupIRBuckTM is an easy-to-use, fully integrated and highly efficient DC/DC voltage regulator. The onboard constant on time hysteretic controller and MOSFETs make IR3871 a space-efficient solution that delivers up to 8A of precisely controlled output voltage at 60C ambient temperature without airflow. IR3871 is housed in a 20-lead 5mmx6mm QFN package. Key features offered by IR3871 include: programmable switching frequency, soft start, and over current protection allowing a very flexible solution suitable for many different applications and an ideal choice for battery powered applications. Additional features include pre-bias startup, a very precise 0.5V reference, over/under voltage protection, power good output, and enable input with voltage monitoring capability. This user guide contains the schematic, bill of materials, and operating instructions of the IRDC3871 evaluation board. Detailed product specifications, application information and performance curves at different operating conditions are available in the IR3871 data sheet. BOARD FEATURES * * * * * * * * VIN = +12V VCC = +5V VOUT = +1.05V IOUT = 0 to 8A FS = 300kHz @ CCM L = 1.5H CIN = 22F (ceramic 1210) + 68F (electrolytic) COUT = 47F (ceramic 0805) + 330F (PC-CON) 1 IRDC3871 CONNECTIONS and OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS A well regulated +12V input supply should be connected to VIN and PGND. A maximum load of 8A may be connected to VOUT and PGND. The connection diagram is shown in Fig. 1 and inputs and outputs of the board are listed in Table 1. IRDC3871 has two input supplies, one for biasing (VCC) and the other for input voltage (VIN). Separate supplies should be applied to these inputs. VCC input should be a well regulated 4.5V to 5.5V supply connected to VCC and PGND. Enable (EN) is controlled by the first switch of SW1. The absolute maximum voltage of the external signal applied to EN (TP4) is +8V. Table 1.

The minimum lead to lead spacing should be 0.2mm to minimize shorting. Lead land length should be equal to maximum part lead length + 0.3 mm outboard extension. The outboard extension ensures a large toe fillet that can be easily inspected. Pad lands (the 4 big pads) length and width should be equal to maximum part pad length and width. However, the minimum metal to metal spacing should be no less than 0.17mm for 2 oz. Copper, or no less than 0.1mm for 1 oz. Copper, or no less than 0.23mm for 3 oz. Copper. 12 IRDC3871 Solder Resist It is recommended that the lead lands are Non Solder Mask Defined (NSMD). The solder resist should be pulled away from the metal lead lands by a minimum of 0.025mm to ensure NSMD pads. The land pad should be Solder Mask Defined (SMD), with a minimum overlap of the solder resist onto the copper of 0.05mm to accommodate solder resist misalignment. Ensure that the solder resist in between the lead lands and the pad land is 0.15mm due to the high aspect ratio of the solder resist strip separating the lead lands from the pad land. 13 IRDC3871 Stencil Design The Stencil apertures for the lead lands should be approximately 80% of the area of the lead lads. Reducing the amount of solder deposited will minimize the occurrences of lead shorts. If too much solder is deposited on the center pad, the part will float and the lead lands will open. The maximum length and width of the land pad stencil aperture should be equal to the solder resist opening minus an annular 0.2mm pull back in order to decrease the risk of shorting the center land to the lead lands when the part is pushed into the solder paste. 14 IRDC3871 DIM A A1 b b1 c D E e e1 e2 MILIMITERS MIN MAX 0.8 1 0 0.05 0.375 0.475 0.25 0.35 0.203 REF. 5.000 BASIC 6.000 BASIC 1.033 BASIC 0.650 BASIC 0.852 BASIC INCHES MIN MAX 0.0315 0.0394 0 0.002 0.1477 0.1871 0.0098 0.1379 0.008 REF. 1.970 BASIC 2.364 BASIC 0.0407 BASIC 0.0256 BASIC 0.0259 BASIC DIM L M N O P Q R S t1, t2, t3 t4 t5 MILIMITERS MIN MAX 0.35 0.45 2.441 2.541 0.703 0.803 2.079 2.179 3.242 3.342 1.265 1.365 2.644 2.744 1.5 1.6 0.401 BASIC 1.153 BASIC 0.727 BASIC INCHES MIN MAX 0.0138 0.0177 0.0962 0.1001 0.0277 0.0314 0.0819 0.0858 0.1276 0.1316 0.0498 0.05374 0.1042 0.1081 0.0591 0.063 0.016 BACIS 0.045 BASIC 0.0286 BASIC IR WORLD HEADQUARTERS: 233 Kansas St., El Segundo, California 90245, USA Tel: (310) 252-7105 TAC Fax: (310) 252-7903 Visit us at www.irf.com for sales contact information Data and specifications subject to change without notice. 06/2011 15 Mouser Electronics Authorized Distributor Click to View Pricing, Inventory, Delivery & Lifecycle Information: International Rectifier: IRDC3871
