DUAL PHASE IC
DESCRIPTION
The IR3527 Dual Phase IC combined with an IR
XPhase3
Control IC provides a full featured and flexible
way to implement multiphase power solutions. The Control IC provides overall system control and interfaces
with any number of IR3527 Phase ICs which each drive and monitor 2 phases of a Synchronous Buck
converter.
The IR3527 implement an independent power savings function for each power stage and sequential phase
timing for use in single output multiphase converters. When power saving mode is enabled, the power stage
will disable its output thus eliminating its switching loss while proper converter operation is maintained by the
single power stage or in conjunction with other converter power stages. The IR3527 current sense amplifiers
remain active when in power savings to support adaptive voltage positioning.

PIN DESCRIPTION
Phase1 current sense amplifier non-inverting input and input to debug comparator
PWM comparator input from the error amplifier output of Control IC. Body Braking
mode is initiated if the voltage on this pin is less than V(DACIN) threshold.
Output of the Current Sense Amplifiers are connected to this pin through 3k
resistors. Voltage on this pin is equal to approximately V(DACIN) + 16 [(V
CSIN1+
–
V
CSIN1-
) + (V
CSIN2+
– V
CSIN2-
)]. Connecting all Phase IC ISHARE pins together creates
a share bus which provides an indication of the average current being supplied by all
the phases. The signal is used by the Control IC for voltage positioning, over-current
protection, and in some cases current reporting. OVP mode is initiated if the voltage
on this pin rises above V(VCCL)- 0.8V.
Reference voltage input from the Control IC. The Current Sense signal and PWM
ramps are referenced to the voltage on this pin.
Input to Phase 1 PSI comparator. Logic low stops the phase from switching (low =
low power state)
Input to Phase 2 PSI comparator. Logic low stops the phase from switching (low =
low power state)

Return for low side drivers and reference for GATEH non-overlap comparators.
Phase2 Low-side driver output and input to GATEH2 non-overlap comparator.
Supply for Phase2 low-side driver. Internal bootstrap synchronous PFET is
connected from this pin to the BOOST pin.
Supply for Phase2 high-side driver. Internal bootstrap synchronous PFET is
