FAN8301
2A, 16V, Non-Synchronous, Step-Down, DC/DC Regulator
Features
2A Output Current 0.22Ω Internal Power MOSFET Switch W ide 4.75V to 16V Operating Input Range Output Adjustable from 0.6 to 14V Stable with Low-ESR Output Ceramic Capacitors Up to 90% Efficiency Less than 20µA Shutdown Current Fixed 370kHz Frequency Thermal Shutdown with Hysteresis Cycle-by-Cycle Over-Current Protection Available in 8-Pin SOIC Package
Description
The FAN8301 is a monolithic, non-synchronous, stepdown (buck) regulator with internal power MOSFETs. It achieves 2A continuous output current over a wide input supply range with excellent load and line regulation. Current-mode operation provides fast transient response and eases loop stabilization. Fault condition protection includes cycle-by-cycle current limiting and thermal shutdown. The regulator draws less than 20µA shutdown current. The FAN8301 requires a minimum number of readily available standard external components. External compensation, enable, and programmable soft-start features allow design optimization and flexibility. Cycle-by-cycle current limit, frequency foldback, and thermal shutdown provide protection against shorted outputs.

Description
High-Side Drive BOOT Voltage. Connect through capacitor (CBS) to SW. The IC includes an internal synchronous bootstrap diode to recharge the capacitor on this pin to VCC when SW is LOW. Power Input. This pin needs to be closely decoupled to GND pin with a 10µF or greater ceramic capacitor. Power Switching Output. SW is the switching node that supplies power to the output. The power return and signal ground for the IC. All internal control voltages are referred to this pin. Tie this pin to the ground island/plane through the lowest impedance connection. This pin is the ground reference for the regulated output voltage. Feedback Input. The center tap of the external feedback voltage resistive divider across the output. Compensation Node. Frequency compensation is accomplished at this node by connecting a series R-C to ground. Enable Input. EN is a digital input that turns the regulator on or off. Drive EN HIGH to turn on the regulator, drive it LOW to turn it off. For automatic startup, leave EN unconnected. External Soft-Start. A capacitor connected between this pin and GND can be used to set soft-start time.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses exceeding the absolute maximum ratings may damage the device. The device may not function or be operable above the recommended operating conditions and stressing the parts to these levels is not recommended. In addition, extended exposure to stresses above the recommended operating conditions may affect device reliability. The absolute maximum ratings are stress ratings only. All voltage values, except differential voltages, are given with respect to the network ground terminal. Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device
