Application field

This controller IC can be used in many different applications and markets. It is used in many industrial power supplies, such as mobile phones, digital cameras and medical devices. In addition, with its high level of integration, the IR3721MTRPBF can be used in many applications with fewer components and a reduced board space.

The device features a wide input voltage range of 4.5V to 16V, along with programmable output voltage. This makes it ideal for low current applications such as battery-powered systems and portable computing. The chip also supports multiple phases synchronous buck topology, increasing efficiency and allowing for higher current and faster transient responses.

In addition, the device features a variety of fault protection features to increase system reliability and prevent damage due to excessive temperatures, ESD, and over-current conditions.

Working Principle

The IR3721MTRPBF works by regulating the output voltage by controlling the amount of current that is allowed to flow through the transistors on the chip. The amount of current is determined by the voltage feedback loop and the reference voltage. The reference voltage is set with an external resistor and is usually referred to as the set point or regulation voltage.

The chip operates by comparing the actual output voltage to the reference voltage. If the actual output voltage is lower than the reference voltage, the chip increases the current until the output voltage is the same as the reference voltage. Conversely, if the output voltage is higher than the reference voltage, the chip decreases the current until the output voltage is the same as the reference voltage.

The device also features a range of integrated features, such as current limit and over-temperature protection. This makes it ideal for industrial applications, as it reduces the number of additional components required, and provides additional protection.

Conclusion

The IR3721MTRPBF is a PMIC - Power Supply Controllers and Monitors. It offers a wide range of features, including a wide input voltage range, synchronous buck topology, and various protection features. With its high integration and efficient design, it is an ideal solution for industrial applications and other low and medium power applications.
