DESCRIPTION
The IRU3138 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. The IRU3138
together with two N-channel MOSFETs, provide a low
cost solution for such applications. This device 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 de-
vice when an output short is detected.
