FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
integrated and highly efficient DC/DC regulator.
The onboard PWM controller and MOSFETs make
IR3898 a space-efficient solution, providing accurate
power delivery.
The IR3898 SupIRBuckTM is an easy-to-use, fully
• Single 5V to 21V application
• Wide Input Voltage Range from 1.0V to 21V with
external Vcc
• Output Voltage Range: 0.5V to 0.86* Vin
• Enhanced Line/Load Regulation with Feed-Forward
• Programmable Switching Frequency up to 1.5MHz
• Internal Digital Soft-Start/Soft-Stop
IR3898 is a versatile regulator which offers
programmable switching frequency and the fixed
internal current limit while operates in wide input and
output voltage range.
• Enable input with Voltage Monitoring Capability
The switching frequency is programmable from 300kHz
to 1.5MHz for an optimum solution.
• Thermally Compensated Current Limit with robust
hiccup mode over current protection
• Smart Internal LDO to improve light load and full load
It also features important protection functions, such as
Pre-Bias startup, thermally compensated current limit,
over voltage protection and thermal shutdown to give
required system level security in the event of fault
conditions.
