IRU3046 EV ALUA TION BOARD USER GUIDE
SPECIFICATION DATAINTRODUCTION
The IRU3046 IC combines a dual synchronous PWM
controller and a linear regulator controller, providing a
cost-effective, high performance and flexible solution for
multi-output applications. The dual synchronous controller can be configured as 2-independent or 2-phase controller. In 2-phase configuration, the IRU3046 provides
programmable current sharing which is ideal when the
output power exceeds any single input power budget.
IRU3046 provides a separate adjustable output by driving a switch as a liner regulator. The Eval Board is designed for current sharing mode (see the IRU3046 data
sheet for detail description), the two PWM controllers
provide one single output and the linear regulator provides the second output.

INPUT/OUTPUT CONNECTIONS
The following is the input/output connections:
Inputs:
JP1: +5V and Gnd.
JP2: +12V and Gnd.
JP5: LDOIN (3.3V) and Gnd.
Alternative connections:
JP3: A TX Connector for 3.3V , 5V and 12V inputs and
Gnd.
Outputs:
JP4: +VOUT (1.5V) and Gnd.
JP6: +LDOOUT (2.5V) and Gnd.
The connection points is shown in Figure 1. Connect the
power supply cables according to this figure, minimize
wire lengths to reduce losses in the wire. T est point J1,
J2 and J3 provide easy connection for oscilloscope voltage probe to monitor the inductor points for each PWM
section and output voltage.

LAYOUT
The top side (component) layer for IRU3046 Eval board
is shown in Figure 2. The input capacitors are all located
close to the MOSFETs. All the decoupling capacitors,
charge pump capacitor and feedback components are
located close to IC. The two current sense resistor located close to inductors and they are located symmetri-
IRDC3046
cal to the output. The feedback resistors are tied to the
output voltage at the point of regulation.
The PCB is 4-layers board, one layer is dedicated to
Power GND and the analog GND is kept separated from
the PGND and it is connected at a single point.
