FAN5099 Wide Frequency Synchronous Buck
PWM & LDO Controller
Features
Description
■ General Purpose PWM Regulator and LDO Controller
■ Input Voltage Range: 3V to 24V
■ Output Voltage Range: 0.8V to 15V
■ VCC
The FAN5099 combines a high-efficiency pulse-width
modulated (PWM) controller and an LDO (Low DropOut)
linear regulator controller. The PWM controller is
designed to operate over a wide frequency range (50kHz
to 600kHz) to accommodate a variety of applications.
Synchronous rectification provides high efficiency over a
wide range of load currents. Efficiency is further
enhanced by using the low-side MOSFET’s RDS(ON) to
sense current. In addition, the capability to operate at low
switching frequencies provides opportunities to boost
power supply efficiency by reducing switching losses and
gain cost savings using low-cost materials, such as pow-
dered iron cores, on the output inductor.
– 5V
– Shunt Regulator for 12V Operation
■ Support for Ceramic Cap on PWM Output
■ Programmable Current Limit for PWM Output
■ Wide Programmable Switching Frequency Range
(50kHz to 600kHz)
■ RDS(ON) Current Sensing
■ Internal Synchronous Boot Diode
■ Soft-Start for both PWM and LDO
■ Multi-Fault Protection with Optional Auto-restart
■ 16-Pin TSSOP Package
Both the linear and PWM regulator soft-start are con-
trolled by a single external capacitor, to limit in rush cur-
rent from the supply when the regulators are first
enabled. Current limit for PWM is also programmable.
Applications
■ High-Efficiency (80+) Computer Power Supplies
■ PC/Server Motherboard Peripherals
The FAN5099’s ability to handle wide input voltage
ranges makes this controller suitable for power solutions
in a wide range of applications involving conversion input
voltages from Silver box, battery, and adapters. The
PWM regulator employs a summing-current-mode con-
trol with external compensation to achieve fast load tran-
sient response and provide system design optimization.
– VCC_MCH (1.5V), VDDQ (1.5V) and
VTT_GTL (1.25V)
■ Power Supply for
– FPGA, DSP, Embedded Controllers, Graphic Card
Processor, and Communication Processors
■ High-Power DC-to-DC Converters
FAN5099 is offered in both industrial temperature grade
(-40°C to +85°C) as well as commercial temperature
grade (-10°C to +85°C).
