User guide for IRDC38263 evaluation board
OptiMOS™ iPOL
About this document
Scope and purpose
The IR38263 OptiMOS
SVID and I2C/SMBus interface. The onboard PWM controller and low duty cycle optimized MOSFETs make
IR38263 a space-efficient solution, providing accurate power delivery for low output voltage and high current
applications.
IR38263 is a versatile regulator which offers programmability of switching frequency, output voltage, and
fault/warning thresholds and fault responses while operating over a wide input and output voltage range. Thus, it
offers flexibility as well as system level security in event of fault conditions.
The switching frequency is programmable from 166 kHz to 1.5 MHz for an optimum solution. The on-chip
sensors and ADC along with the SVID and PMBus interfaces make it easy to monitor and report input voltage,
output voltage, output current and temperature.
This user guide contains the schematic and bill of materials for the IRDC38263 evaluation board. The guide
describes the use of the evaluation board itself. Detailed application information for IR38263 is available in the
IR38263 data sheet
Intended audience
This user guide is intended as a reference for designer's evaluating the IRDC38263 board, OptiMOS™ iPOL.
