IR Introduces Scalable Easy-to-Use, Versatile SupIRBuck Family for Energy-Efficient Computing and Consumer Applications

The IR347x and IR386x SupIRBuckTM family, which integrates a high performance controller with optimized power MOSFETs in a slim 4x5 mm or 5x6 mm PQFN package, is designed with a 0.5 V, 1 percent accurate internal reference voltage, allowing very low and precise output voltage programmability. The new products offer a rich set of features including over-temperature protection, thermally compensated over-current protection, over- and under-voltage protection, pre-bias start-up, power good output, and enable input with voltage monitoring capability.

With its ease-of-use, scalability and high efficiency, IR’s new COT SupIRBuck family is ideally suited to applications that are required to maximize battery life or must comply with ENERGY STAR guidelines.

The IR347x family is capable of up to 27 V input voltage and available in a 4x5 mm and 5x6 mm PQFN package to cover a broad range of loads from 6 A to 15 A, making it easily scalable to meet optimal price and performance requirements. These options and excellent light load efficiency make the IR347x an ideal choice for power conversion in mobile applications such as laptop computers. Other applications for the IR347x family include light industrial and battery-based applications that operate from 24 V rails.

The IR3863 and IR3865, available in a 4x5 mm PQFN package, are optimized for 12 V input a
