FAN6520B
Single Synchronous Buck PWM Controller
Features
Description
■ Accepts 1.5V to 5V for V
The FAN6520B makes simple work out of implementing
a complete control and protection scheme for a DC-DC
stepdown converter.
IN
■ Output Range 0.8V to V
IN
– 0.8V Internal Reference
– ±1.5% Over Line Voltage and Temperature
■ Drives N-Channel MOSFETs
■ Simple Single-Loop Control Design
– Voltage-Mode PWM Control
■ Fast Transient Response
– High-Bandwidth Error Amplifier
– Full 0% to 100% Duty Cycle
■ Small Converter Size
Designed to drive N-channel MOSFETs in a synchro-
nous buck topology, the FAN6520B integrates the con-
trol, output adjustment, and monitoring functions into a
single 8-lead package.
The FAN6520B is easy to use, employs a single feed-
back loop, and voltage-mode control with fast transient
response. The output voltage can be precisely regulated
to as low as 0.8V, with a maximum tolerance of ±1.5%
over temperature and line voltage variations. A fixed fre-
quency oscillator reduces design complexity, while bal-
ancing typical application cost. The error amplifier
features a 15MHz gain-bandwidth product and an 8V/µs
slew rate which enables high converter bandwidth for
fast transient performance. The resulting PWM duty
cycles range from 0% to 100%.
– 300kHz Fixed Frequency Oscillator
– Internal Soft-Start
– 8-Lead SOIC
