IRU3038

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 voltage. This voltage will be tightly regulated to track the half of chipset voltage for best performance. The IRU3038 together with dual N-channel MOSFETs such as IRF7313, provide a low cost solution for such applications. This IRU3038 features a programmable frequency set from 200KHz to 400KHz, under-voltage lockout for both Vcc and Vc supplies, an external programmable soft-start function as well as output under-voltage detection that latches off the device when an output short is detected.
