USER GUIDE FOR IR38063 EVALUATION BOARD
The IR38063 is a synchronous buck
converter with a PMBus interface, providing
a compact, high performance and flexible
solution in a small 5mmx7mm PQFN
package.
Key features offered by the IR38063 include
I2C/PMBus configurability of output voltage,
soft-start, input UVLO, input overvoltage
protection, output overvoltage protection,
output overcurrent protection, Power Good,
thermal protection and switching frequency.
Additionally, the IR38063 also features
enhanced line/ load regulation with feed
forward, external frequency synchronization
with smooth clocking, internal LDO, true
differential remote sensing
and pre-bias
start-up.
A temperature and bias compensated output
over-current protection function is implemented
by sensing the voltage developed across the
on-resistance of the synchronous rectifier
MOSFET for optimum cost and performance.
This user guide contains the schematic and bill
of materials for the IR38063 evaluation board.
The guide describes operation and use of the
evaluation board itself. Detailed application
information for IR38063 is available in the
IR38063 data sheet.

CONNECTIONS and OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
A well regulated +12V input supply should be connected to PVin+ and PVin-. A maximum of 25A load should
be connected to VOUT+ and VOUT-. The inputs and output connections of the board are listed in Table I.
IR38063 needs only one input supply and internal LDO generates Vcc from PVin. Another internal LDo
generates the 1.8V needed by the internal digital circuits. If operation with external Vcc is required, then R25
should be removed and external Vcc can be applied between Vcc+ and Vcc- pins. Vin pin and Vcc pins
should be shorted together for external Vcc operation by installing R24. For tracking operation R27 should
be populated with a 0 ohm resistor.
For normal, non-tracking operation, R27 should not be populated
and a 100 kOhm resistor should be connected from the Track_En pin to P1V8.
The board is configured for remote sensing. If local sense is desired, R8 should be uninstalled and R16
should be installed instead.
I2C/PMBus communication is established through the 4 pin header which allows connection to the
SCL/SDA/SALERT and GND lines from the host/dongle. For proper operation in digital communications
mode, R35 must always be populated.
External Enable signal can be applied to the board via exposed Enable pad and
R18 should be removed for
this purpose.

LAYOUT
The PCB is a 6-layer board. All of layers are 2 Oz. copper. The IR38063 and most of the passive
components are mounted on the top side of the board. Power supply decoupling capacitors and
feedback components are located close to IR38063. The feedback resistors are connected to the
output of the remote sense amplifier of the IR38063 and are located close to the IR38063. To improve
efficiency, the circuit board is designed to minimize the length of the on-board power ground current
path. Separate power ground and analog ground are used and may be connected together using a 0
ohm resistor.
