IR3502A
DATA SHEET
XPHASE3TM CONTROL IC
DESCRIPTION
The IR3502A control IC combined with an XPHASE3TM Phase IC provides a full featured and flexible way
to implement a complete VR11.0 and VR11.1 power solution. The IR3502A provides overall system control
and interfaces with any number of Phase ICs, each driving and monitoring a single phase. The XPhase3TM
architecture results in a power supply that is smaller, less expensive, and easier to design while providing
higher efficiency than conventional approaches.
