FAN2103 — TinyBuck™
3A, 24V Input, Integrated Synchronous Buck Regulator
Features
Description
The FAN2103 TinyBuck™ is an easy-to-use, cost- and
space-efficient, 3A synchronous buck solution. It
enables designers to solve high current requirements in
a small area with minimal external components.
3A Output Current
Over 95% Efficiency
Fully Synchronous Operation with Integrated
Schottky Diode on Low-side MOSFET Boosts
Efficiency
External compensation, programmable switching
frequency, and current limit features allow for design
optimization and flexibility.
Programmable Frequency Operation (200KHz to
600KHz)
The summing current mode modulator uses lossless
current sensing for current feedback and over-current,
and includes voltage feedforward.
Power-good Signal
Accepts Ceramic Capacitors on Output
External Compensation for Flexible Design
Wide Input Range: 3V to 24V
Fairchild’s advanced BiCMOS power process,
combined with low RDS(ON) internal MOSFETs and a
thermally efficient MLP package provide the ability to
dissipate high power in a small package.
Output Voltage Range: 0.8V to 90%VIN
Input Under-voltage Lockout
Output over-voltage, under-voltage, and thermal
shutdown protections plus power-good, help protect the
devices from damage during fault conditions.
Programmable Over-current Limit
Under-voltage, Over-voltage, and
Thermal Protections
