800mA High-Efficiency Step-Down DC-DC Converter
Features
Description
■ 96% efficiency, synchronous operation
■ Adjustable output voltage options from 0.8V to VIN
■ 2.5V to 5.5V input voltage range
■ Up to 800mA output current
Designed for use in battery-powered applications, the
FAN5308 is a high-efficiency, low-noise synchronous
PWM current mode and pulse skip (power-save) mode
DC-DC converter. It can provide up to 800mA of output
current over an input range from 2.5V to 5.5V. The output
voltage can be externally adjusted over a range of 0.8V
to 5.5V by means of an external voltage divider.
■ Fixed-frequency 1.3MHz PWM operation
■ High-efficiency, power-save mode
■ 100% duty cycle low-dropout operation
■ Soft-start
At moderate and light loads, pulse skipping modulation is
used. Dynamic voltage positioning is applied and the
output voltage is shifted 0.8% above nominal value for
increased headroom during load transients. At higher
loads, the system automatically switches over to current
mode PWM control, operating at 1.3MHz. A current
mode control loop with fast transient response ensures
excellent line and load regulation. To achieve high effi-
ciency and ensure long battery life, the quiescent current
is reduced to 25µA in power-save mode, and the supply
current drops below 1µA in shut-down mode. The
FAN5308 is available in a 3x3mm 6-lead MLP package.
■ Output over-voltage protection
