FAN5098
Two Phase Interleaved Synchronous Buck Converter
®
for AMD Hammer™
Features
Description
• Programmable output from 800mV to 1.550V in 25mV
steps using an integrated 5-bit DAC
• Two interleaved synchronous phases for maximum
performance
The FAN5098 is a synchronous two-phase DC-DC controller
IC which provides a highly accurate, programmable output
voltage for the AMD® Hammer™ processor. Two inter-
leaved synchronous buck regulator phases with built-in cur-
rent sharing operate 180° out of phase to provide the fast
transient response needed to satisfy high current applications
while minimizing external components.
• 100nsec transient response time
• Built-in current sharing between phases
• Remote sense
• Programmable Active Droop (Voltage Positioning)
• Programmable switching frequency from 100KHz to
1MHz per phase
The FAN5098 features Programmable Active Droop for
transient response with minimum output capacitance. It has
integrated high-current gate drivers, with adaptive delay gate
switching, eliminating the need for external drive devices.
The FAN5098 uses a 5-bit D/A converter to program the out-
put voltage from 800mV to 1.550V in 25mV steps with an
accuracy of 1%. The FAN5098 uses a high level of integra-
tion to deliver load currents in excess of 50A from a 12V
source with minimal external circuitry.
The FAN5098 also offers integrated functions including
Power Good, Output Enable/Soft Start, under-voltage lock-
out, over-voltage protection, and adjustable current limiting
with independent current sense on each phase. It is available
in a 24 pin TSSOP package.
