IRU3038 EVALUATION BOARD USER GUIDE
INTRODUCTION
The IRU3038 controller IC is designed to provide a low
cost synchronous Buck regulator for voltage tracking
applications such DDR memory and general purpose
on-board DC to DC converter. Modern micro processors
combined with DDR memory, need high-speed bandwidth
data bus which requires a particular bus termination volt-
age. This voltage will be tightly regulated to track the
half of chipset voltage for best performance.

INPUT/OUTPUT CONNECTIONS
The following is the input/output connections:
Inputs:
J1: Input (+5V)
J2: Gnd
Outputs:
J5: V
OUT
(+2.5V)
J6: Gnd
Other Connections:
J7: V
DDQ
(for tracking system)
J3: V
REF
(output for reference voltage)
The connection points is shown in Figure 1. Connect the
power supply cables according to this figure, minimize
wire lengths to reduce losses in the wire. Test point J8
and J9 provide easy connections for oscilloscope volt-
age probe to monitor the output inductor point and the
output voltages.

LAYOUT
The top side (component) layer for IRU3038 Eval board
is shown in Figure 2. The input capacitors are all located
close to the MOSFETs. All the decoupling capacitors,
charge pump capacitor and feedback components are
located close to IC. The feedback resistors are tied to
the output voltage at the point of regulation.
The PCB is 4-layers board, one layer is dedicated to
Power GND and the analog GND is kept separated from
the PGND and it is connected at a single point.
