20-PIN SYNCHRONOUS PWM CONTROLLER/
3 LDO CONTROLLER
FEATURES
Synchronous Controller plus 3-LDO controllers
Current Limit using MOSFET Sensing
Dual Soft-Start Function allows power sequencing
Single 5V/12V Supply Operation
Programmable Switching Frequency up to 400KHz
Fixed Frequency Voltage Mode
1A Peak Output Drive Capability
DESCRIPTION
The IRU3072 controller IC is designed to provide a low
cost synchronous Buck regulator for on-board DC to DC
converter for multi-output applications. The outputs can
be programmed as low as 0.8V for low voltage applica-
tions.
The IRU3072 features dual soft-starts which allows power
sequencing between outputs.
Over current limit is provided by using external MOSFET's
on-resistance for optimum cost and performance.
This device features a programmable frequency set from
200KHz to 400KHz, under-voltage lockout for all input
supplies, dual external programmable soft-start functions
as well as output under-voltage detection that latches
off the device when an output short is detected.

PIN DESCRIPTION
Drv4
Outputs of the linear regulator controllers.
Drv3
Drv2
VccLDO
This pin provides power for the LDO controllers.
Vcc
This pin provides biasing for the internal blocks of the IC as well as power for the low side
driver. A minimum of 1mF, high frequency capacitor must be connected from this pin to
ground to provide peak drive current capability.
LDrv
Output driver for the synchronous power MOSFET.
Gnd
This pin serves as the ground pin and must be connected directly to the ground plane. A
high frequency capacitor (0.1 to 1mF) must be connected from Vcc, Vc and VccLDO pins
to this pin for noise free operation.
PGnd
This pin serves as the separate ground for MOSFET's driver and should be connected to
system's ground plane.
HDrv
Output driver for the high side power MOSFET. Connect a diode, such as BAT54 or 1N4148,
from this pin to ground for the application when the inductor current goes negative (Source/
Sink), soft-start at no load and for the fast load transient from full load to no load.

PIN DESCRIPTION
Vc
This pin is connected to a voltage that must be at least 4V higher than the bus voltage of
the switcher (assuming 5V threshold MOSFET) and powers the high side output driver. A
minimum of 1mF, high frequency capacitor must be connected from this pin to ground to
provide peak drive current capability.
OCSet
This pin is connected to the Drain of the synchronous MOSFET and it provides the posi-
tive sensing for the internal current sensing circuitry. An external resistor programs the
current sense (CS) threshold depending on the R
DS
of the power MOSFET.
V
SEN33
/SDB
This pin is used to monitor the 3.3V rail. This pin can be pulled-low to shutdown the
outputs.
Rt
This pin sets the switching frequency with a resistor to Gnd.
Fb1
This pin is connected directly to the output of the switching regulator via resistor divider to
provide feedback to the Error amplifier.
Comp
Compensation pin of the error amplifier. An external resistor and capacitor network is
typically connected from this pin to ground to provide loop compensation.
SS1
This pin provides soft-start for the switching regulator. An internal current source charges
an external capacitor that is connected from this pin to ground which ramps up the output
of the switching regulator, preventing it from overshooting as well as limiting the input
current.
SS
LDO
This pin provides soft-start for the LDO controllers. An internal current source charges an
external capacitor that is connected from this pin to ground which ramps up the output of
the LDO controller, preventing it from overshooting as well as limiting the input current.
Fb2
These pins provide feedback for the linear regulator controllers.
