Using a proprietary architecture with synchronous rectification, the FAN5353 is capable of delivering 3A at over 85% efficiency. The regulator operates at a nominal fixed frequency of 3MHz, which reduces the value of the external components to 470nH for the output inductor and 10µF for the output capacitor. Additional output capacitance can be added without affecting stability if tighter regulation during transients is required. The regulator includes an open-drain power good (PGOOD) signal that pulls low when the output is not in regulation. In shutdown mode, the supply current drops below 1µA, reducing power consumption. FAN5353 is available in a 12-lead 3x3.5mm MLP package.

Using a proprietary architecture with synchronous rectification, the FAN5353 is capable of delivering 3A at over 80% efficiency. The regulator operates at a nominal frequency of 3MHz at full load, which reduces the value of the external components to 470nH for the output inductor and 20µF for the output capacitor. Synchronous rectification is inhibited during soft-start, allowing the IC to start into a pre-charged load. PGOOD Pin The PGOOD pin is an open drain output that indicates the IC is in regulation when its state is open. PGOOD requires an external pull-up resistor. PGOOD pulls LOW under the following conditions: 1. 2. 3. The IC has operated in cycle-by-cycle current limit for eight or more consecutive PWM cycles. The circuit is disabled; either after a fault occurs, or when EN is LOW. The IC is performing a soft-start. Control Scheme The FAN5353 uses a proprietary non-linear, fixed-frequency PWM modulator to deliver a fast load transient response, while maintaining a constant switching frequency over a wide range of operating conditions. The regulator performance is independent of the output capacitor ESR, allowing for the use of ceramic output capacitors. Although this type of operation normally results in a switching frequency that varies with input voltage and load current, an internal frequency loop holds the switching frequency constant over a large range of input voltages and load currents. Under-Voltage Lockout When EN is HIGH, the under-voltage lockout keeps the part from operating until the input supply voltage rises high enough to properly operate. This ensures no misbehavior of the regulator during startup or shutdown. Setting the Output Voltage The output voltage is set by the R1, R2, and VREF (0.8V): Input Over-Voltage Protection (OVP) When VIN exceeds VSDWN (about 6.2V) the IC stops switching, to protect the circuitry from internal spikes above 6.5V. An internal 40μs filter prevents the circuit from shutting down due to noise spikes. For the circuit to fully protect the internal circuitry, the VIN slew rate above 6.2V must be limited to no more than 15V/ms when the IC is switching. The IC protects itself if VIN overshoots to 7V during initial power-up as long as the VIN transition from 0 to 7V occurs in less than 10μs (10% to 90%). R1 VOUT − VREF = R2 VREF R1 must be set at or below 100KΩ. Therefore: (1) R2 = R1• 0.8 (VOUT − 0.8) (2) For example, for VOUT = 1.2V, R1 = 100KΩ, R2 = 200KΩ. Enable and Soft Start When the EN pin is LOW, the IC is shut down, all internal circuits are off, and the part draws very little current. Raising EN above its threshold voltage activates the part and starts the soft-start cycle. During soft-start, the modulator’s internal reference is ramped slowly to minimize any large surge currents on the input and prevents any overshoot of the output voltage. If large values of output capacitance are used, the regulator may fail to start. If VOUT fails to achieve regulation within 320μs from the beginning of soft-start, the regulator shuts down and waits 1200μs before attempting a restart. If the regulator is at its current limit for more than about 60μs, the regulator shuts down before restarting 1200μs later. This limits the COUT capacitance when a heavy load is applied during the startup. For a typical FAN5353 starting with a resistive load: Current Limiting A heavy load or short circuit on the output causes the current in the inductor to increase until a maximum current threshold is reached in the high-side switch. Upon reaching this point, the high-side switch turns off, preventing high currents from causing damage. 16 consecutive PWM cycles in current limit cause the regulator to shut down and stay off for about 1200μs before attempting a restart. In the event of a short circuit, the soft-start circuit attempts to restart and produces an over-current fault after about 50μs, which results in a duty cycle of less than 10%, providing current into a short circuit. Thermal Shutdown When the die temperature increases, due to a high load condition and/or a high ambient temperature, the output switching is disabled until the temperature on the die has fallen sufficiently. The junction temperature at which the thermal shutdown activates is nominally 150°C with a 20°C hysteresis.

This imposes constraints on the maximum VOUT that the FAN5353 can provide, while VIN still maintaining a fixed switching frequency in PWM mode. While regulation is unaffected, the switching frequency drops when the regulator cannot provide sufficient duty cycle at 3MHz to maintain regulation. The calculation for switching frequency is given as: ⎛ ⎞ 1 1 ⎟ fSW = min ⎜ , ⎜ t SW (MAX ) 333 .3ns ⎟ ⎝ ⎠ shows the effects of inductance higher or lower than the recommended 470nH on regulator performance.

If it is possible for the load to draw that much continuous current, the inductor should be capable of sustaining that current or failing in a safe manner. For space-constrained applications, a lower current rating for L1 can be used. The FAN5353 may still protect these inductors in the event of a short circuit, but may not be able to protect the inductor from failure if the load is able to draw higher currents than the DC rating of the inductor. R OFF = RDSON _ N + DCR L RON = RDSON _ P + DCR L Applications Information Selecting the Inductor The output inductor must meet both the required inductance and the energy handling capability of the application. The inductor value affects the average current limit, the output voltage ripple, and the efficiency. The ripple current (∆I) of the regulator is: ΔI ≈ VOUT ⎛ VIN − VOUT •⎜ ⎜ L•f VIN SW ⎝ ⎞ ⎟ ⎟ ⎠ Output Capacitor Note: suggests 0805 capacitors, but 0603 capacitors may be used if space is at a premium. Due to voltage effects, the 0603 capacitors have a lower in-circuit capacitance than the 0805 package, which can degrade transient response and output ripple. Increasing COUT has no effect on loop stability and can therefore be increased to reduce output voltage ripple or to improve transient response. Output voltage ripple, ∆VOUT, is: ⎛ ⎞ 1 ΔVOUT = ΔI • ⎜ + ESR⎟ ⎜ 8•C ⎟ OUT • fSW ⎝ ⎠ (5) The maximum average load current, IMAX(LOAD) is related to the peak current limit, ILIM(PK)by the ripple current as: (8) IMAX(LOAD) = ILIM(PK ) − ΔI 2 (6) The FAN5353 is optimized for operation with L=470nH, but is stable with inductances up to 1.2μH (nominal). The inductor should be rated to maintain at least 80% of its value at ILIM(PK). Failure to do so lowers the amount of DC current the IC can deliver. Efficiency is affected by the inductor DCR and inductance value. Decreasing the inductor value for a given physical size typically decreases the DCR; but since ∆I increases, the RMS current increases, as do core and skin effect losses. IRMS = IOUT (DC ) 2 + ΔI 2 12 where COUT is the effective output capacitance. The capacitance of COUT decreases at higher output voltages, which results in higher ∆VOUT . If COUT is greater than 100μF, the regulator may fail to start under load. If an inductor value greater than 1.0μH is used, at least 30μF of COUT should be used to ensure stability. ESL Effects The ESL (Equivalent Series Inductance) of the output capacitor network should be kept low to minimize the square wave component of output ripple that results from the division ratio COUT’s ESL and the output inductor (LOUT). The square wave component due to ESL can be estimated as: (7) The increased RMS current produces higher losses through the RDS(ON) of the IC MOSFETs as well as the inductor ESR. Increasing the inductor value produces lower RMS currents, but degrades transient response. For a given physical inductor size, increased inductance usually results in an inductor with lower saturation current. © 2009 Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation FAN5353 • Rev. 1.0.2 ΔVOUT(SQ) ≈ VIN • ESL COUT L1 (9) A good practice to minimize this ripple is to use multiple output capacitors to achieve the desired COUT value. For www.fairchildsemi.com 10 FAN5353 — 3MHz, 3A Synchronous Buck Regulator example, to obtain COUT = 20μF, a single 22μF 0805 would produce twice the square wave ripple of 2 x 10μF 0805. To minimize ESL, try to use capacitors with the lowest ratio of length to width. 0805s have lower ESL than 1206s. If low output ripple is a chief concern, some vendors produce 0508 or 0612 capacitors with ultra-low ESL. Placing additional small value capacitors near the load also reduces the highfrequency ripple components. and transient excursions. The inductor in this example is the TDK VLC5020T-R47N. VCC and VIN should be connected together by a thin trace some distance from the IC, or through a resistor (shown as R3 below), to isolate the switching spikes on PVIN from the IC bias supply on VCC. If PCB area is at a premium, the connection between PVIN and VCC can be made on another PCB layer through vias. The via impedance provides some filtering for the high-frequency spikes generated on PVIN. PGND and AGND connect through the thermal pad of the IC. Extending the PGND and AGND planes improves IC cooling. The IC analog ground (AGND) is bonded to P1 between pins 1 and 12. Large AC ground currents should return to pins 3 and 4 (PGND) either through the copper under P1 between pins 6 and 7 or through a direct trace from pins 3 and 4 (as shown for COUT1-COUT3). EN and PGOOD connect through vias to the system control logic. CIN1 is an optional device used to provide a lower impedance path for high-frequency switching edges/spikes, which helps to reduce SW node and VIN ringing. CIN should be placed as close as possible between PGND and VIN, as shown below. PGND connection back to inner planes should be accomplished as series of vias distributed among the COUT return track and CIN return plane between pins 6 and 7. Input Capacitor The 10μF ceramic input capacitor should be placed as close as possible between the VIN pin and PGND to minimize the parasitic inductance. If a long wire is used to bring power to the IC, additional “bulk” capacitance (electrolytic or tantalum) should be placed between CIN and the power source lead to reduce under-damped ringing that can occur between the inductance of the power source leads and CIN. The effective CIN capacitance value decreases as VIN increases due to DC bias effects. This has no significant impact on regulator performance.
