IR3638
High Frequency Synchronous
Step Down PWM Controller
for Tracking Applications
The IR3638 controller IC is designed to provide a simple
synchronous Buck regulator for on−board DC to DC applications in a
14−pin SOIC. The IR3638 is designed specifically for tracking
applications by providing the track input.
The IR3638 operates at a fixed internal 400 kHz switching
frequency allowing the use of small external components. The device
features a programmable soft start set by an external capacitor,
under−voltage lockout and output under−voltage detection that latches
off the device when an output short is detected.

Description
Inverting input to the error amplifier. This pin is connected to the output of the regulator via resistor divider
to set the output voltage and provide feedback to the error amplifier.
Dual function pin. Non inverting input to the error amplifier. Enable input.
No Connect
This pin provides power for the internal blocks of the IC as well as powers the low side driver. A minimum
of 0.1
mF,
high frequency capacitor must be connected from this pin to power ground.
No Connect
Output driver for low side MOSFET.
IC ground for internal control circuitry.
Power Ground. This pin serves as a separate ground for the MOSFET drivers and should be connected to
the system’s power ground plane.
Output driver for high side MOSFET. The negative voltage at this pin may cause instability for the gate
drive circuit. To prevent this, a low forward voltage drop diode (e.g. BAT54 or 1N4148) is required
between this pin and Power Ground.
This pin powers the high side driver.
No Connect
Output of error amplifier. An external resistor and capacitor network is typically connected from this pin to
ground to provide loop compensation.
Soft start. This pin provides user programmable soft−start function. Connect an external capacitor from
this pin to ground to set the start up time of the output voltage.
