DESCRIPTION
The IRU3055 is a 3-phase synchronous Buck controller
which provides high performance DC to DC converter for
high current applications.
The IRU3055 controller IC is specifically designed to meet
Intel and AMD specifications for the new microproces-
sor requiring low voltage and high current.
The IRU3055 features under-voltage lockout for both 5V
and 12V supplies, an external and programmable soft-
start function as well as programming the oscillator fre-
quency by using an external resistor.

PIN DESCRIPTION
This pin programs the oscillator frequency in the range of 50KHz to 500KHz with an
external resistor connected from this pin to the ground.
Compensation for error amplifier.
This pin is connected directly to the output of the Core supply to provide feedback to the
Error amplifier.
This pin provides the soft-start for the switching regulator. An internal current source
charges an external capacitor that is connected from this pin to the ground which ramps
up the outputs of the switching regulator, preventing the outputs from overshooting as
well as limiting the input current. The second function of the Soft-Start cap is to provide
long off time (HICCUP) for the synchronous MOSFET during current limiting.
Current sense feedback for channel 1, 2, 3.

PIN DESCRIPTION
Fault detector. When the output exceeds the OVP trip point, the fault pin switches to
2.8V and pulls down the soft-start.
This pin is connected to the drain of the synchronous MOSFET in channel 1 of the Core
supply and it provides the positive sensing for the internal current sensing circuitry. An
external resistor programs the over current threshold depending on the R
DS(ON)
of the
power MOSFET.
Analog ground for internal reference and control circuitry. Connect to PGnd with a short
trace.
Shut down pin. Pulling-up this pin disables the outputs.
Power good pin. This pin is a collector output that switches Low when the output of the
converter is not within
610%(typ)
of the nominal output voltage.
2V reference output.
These pins power the high side MOSFET driver. A minmum 1mF ceramic cap must be
connected from these pins to ground to provide peak drive current capability.

These pins are connected to the 12V supply and serves as the power Vcc pin for the low
side output drivers. A high frequency capacitor (0.1 to 1mF) must be connected directly
from these pins to PGnd1, PGnd2 and PGnd3 pins in order to supply the peak current to
the power MOSFET during the transitions.
No connection.
This pin is connected from the source of the synchronous MOSFET in channal 1 of the
