Linear Regulator Output (VCCL)
The IR3500 has a built-in linear regulator controller, and only an external NPN transistor is needed to create a linear
regulator. The output voltage of the linear regulator can be programmed between 4.75V and 7.5V by the resistor
divider at VCCLFB pin. The regulator output powers the gate drivers and other circuits of the phase ICs along with
circuits in the control IC, and the voltage is usually programmed to optimize the converter efficiency. The linear
regulator can be compensated by a 4.7uF capacitor at the VCCL pin. As with any linear regulator, due to stability
reasons, there is an upper limit to the maximum value of capacitor that can be used at this pin and it’s a function of
the number of phases used in the multiphase architecture and their switching frequency. Figure 14 provides Bode
plots for the linear regulator with 5 phases switching at 750 kHz.
An external 5V can be connected to this pin to replace the linear regulator with appropriate selection of the VCCLFB
resistor divider, and VCCLDRV resistor. While using an external VCCL its essential to adjust it such that VCCLFB is
slightly higher than the 1.19V reference voltage. This condition ensures that the VCCLDRV pin doesn’t load the
ROSC pin. The switching frequency, VSETPT, and OCSET are derived from the loading current of ROSC pin.
