DESCRIPTION
The IR36021 is a dual‐loop digital multi‐phase buck
controller designed for point of load applications.
The IR36021 include Efficiency Shaping Technology to
deliver exceptional efficiency at minimum cost across the
entire load range. Dynamic Phase Control adds/drops
active phases based upon load current and can be
configured to enter 1‐phase operation and diode emulation
mode automatically or by command.
IR’s unique Adaptive Transient Algorithm (ATA), based on
proprietary non‐linear digital PWM algorithms, minimizes
output bulk capacitors and Multiple Time Programmable
(MTP) storage saves pins and enables a small package size.
Device configuration and fault parameters are easily
defined using the IR Intuitive Power Designer (IPD) GUI and
stored in on‐chip MTP.
The IR36021 provides extensive OVP, UVP, OCP and OTP
fault protection and includes thermistor based temperature
sensing with VRHOT signal.
The IR36021 includes numerous features like register
diagnostics for fast design cycles and platform
differentiation, truly simplifying VRD design and enabling
fastest time‐to‐market (TTM) with “set‐and‐forget”
methodology.
