Initialization
Bias Supply
Once VCC exceeds the UVLO threshold and EN is HIGH,
the IC checks for an open or shorted FB pin before
releasing the internal soft-start ramp (SS).
The FAN2103 requires a 5 V supply rail to bias the IC
and provide gate-drive energy and controller power.
Connect a 1.0 µf X5R or X7R decoupling capacitor
between VCC and PGND. Whenever the EN pin is
pulled up to VCC, the 5 V supply connected to VCC
should be turned ON after VIN comes up. If the power
supply is turned ON using EN pin with an external
control after VCC and VIN come up, the VCC and VIN
power sequencing is not relevant.
If R1 is open (as shown in Figure 1), the error amplifier
output (COMP) is forced LOW and no pulses are
generated. After the SS ramp times out (T1.0), an undervoltage latched fault occurs.
If the parallel combination of R1 and RBIAS is 1K, the
internal SS ramp is not released and the regulator does
not start.
Since VCC is used to drive the internal MOSFET gates,
supply current is frequency and voltage dependent.
Approximate VCC current (ICC) can be calculated using:
Soft-Start
V
5
ICC(mA ) 4.58 [( CC
0.013) ( f 128)]
227
Once internal SS ramp has charged to 0.8 V (T0.8), the
output voltage is in regulation. Until SS ramp reaches
1.0 V (T1.0), the “Fault Latch” is inhibited.
where frequency (f) is expressed in KHz.
To avoid skipping the soft-start cycle, it is necessary to
apply VIN before VCC reaches its UVLO threshold.
Setting the Output Voltage
Soft-start time is a function of oscillator frequency.
EN
The output voltage of the regulator can be set from
0.8 V to ~80% of VIN by an external resistor divider (R1
and RBIAS in Figure 1).
1.35V

The internal reference is 0.8 V with 650 nA, sourced

regulator does not start.

The regulator does not allow the low-side MOSFET to
operate in full synchronous rectification mode until
internal SS ramp reaches 95% of VREF (~0.76 V). This
helps the regulator start against pre-biased outputs (as
shown in Figure 16) and ensures that inductor current
does not "ratchet" up during the soft-start cycle.

Typically the inductor is set for a ripple current (IL) of
10% to 35% of the maximum DC load. Regulators
requiring fast transient response use a value on the high
side of this range, while regulators that require very low
output ripple and/or use high-ESR capacitors restrict
allowable ripple current:
V

VRILIM = 10µA*RILIM
To calculate RILIM:
RILIM = VRILIM/ 10µA
where f is the oscillator frequency and:
RILIM = (VBOT + VRMPEAK)/ 10µA
(10)
RILIM = {0.96 + (ILOAD * RDSON *KT*8)} +
{D*(VIN – 1.8)/(fSW *0.03*10^-3*RRAMP)}/10µA

Setting the Ramp Resistor Value

The internal ramp voltage excursion (ΔVRAMP) during tON

ILOAD = the desired maximum load current;
RDSON = the nominal RDSON of the low-side MOSFET;
where frequency (f) is expressed in KHz.
KT = the normalized temperature coefficient for the
low-side MOSFET (on datasheet graph);
Setting the Current Limit
D = VOUT/VIN duty cycle;
The current limit system involves two comparators. The
MAX ILIMIT comparator is used with a VILIM fixed-voltage
reference and represents the maximum current limit
allowable. This reference voltage is temperature
compensated to reflect the RDSON variation of the lowside MOSFET. The ADJUST ILIMIT comparator is used
where the current limit needs to be set lower than the
VILIM fixed reference. The 10 µA current source does not
track the RDSON changes over temperature, so change is
added into the equations for calculating the ADJUST
ILIMIT comparator reference voltage, as is shown below.
Figure 22 shows a simplified schematic of the overcurrent system.

fSW = Clock frequency in kHz; and
RRAMP = chosen ramp resistor value in k.
After 16 consecutive, pulse-by-pulse, current-limit
cycles, the fault latch is set and the regulator shuts
down. Cycling VCC or EN restores operation after a
normal soft-start cycle (refer to the Auto-Restart
section).
The over-current protection fault latch is active during
the soft-start cycle. Use 1% resistor for RILIM.
Loop Compensation

The loop is compensated using a feedback network

The voltage VRILIM is made up of two components, VBOT

Table 1.
RRAMP provides feedforward compensation for changes
in VIN. With a fixed RRAMP value, the modulator gain
increases as VIN is reduced, which could make it difficult
to compensate the loop. For designs with low input
voltages (3 V to 6.5 V), it is recommended that a
separate RRAMP and the compensation component
values are used as compared to designs with VIN
between 6.5 V and 24 V.

or pull it high after VCC comes up with a logic gate to keep
the 1 µA current sink from discharging EN to 1.1 V.
Protection
The converter output is monitored and protected against
extreme overload, short-circuit, over-voltage, and undervoltage conditions.
An internal “Fault Latch” is set for any fault intended to
shut down the IC. When the fault latch is set, the IC
discharges VOUT by enhancing the low-side MOSFET
until FB0.5 V. This behavior discharges the output
without causing undershoot (negative output voltage).

Over-Temperature Protection
Figure 24. Latched Fault Response
FAN2103 incorporates an over-temperature protection
circuit that sets the fault latch when a die temperature of
about 160°C is reached. The IC is allowed to restart
when the die temperature falls below 130°C.
Under-Voltage Shutdown
If FB remains below the under-voltage threshold for 16
consecutive clock cycles, the fault latch is set and the
converter shuts down. This fault is prevented from
setting the fault latch during soft-start.
Power Good (PGOOD) Signal
PGOOD is an open-drain output that asserts LOW when
VOUT is out of regulation, as measured at the FB pin
(thresholds are specified in the Electrical Specifications
section). PGOOD does not assert HIGH until the fault
latch is enabled (T1.0).
Over-Voltage Protection / Shutdown
If FB exceeds 115% • VREF for two consecutive clock
cycles, the fault latch is set and shutdown occurs.
A shorted high-side MOSFET condition is detected
when SW voltage exceeds ~0.7 V while the low-side
MOSFET is fully enhanced. The fault latch is set
immediately upon detection.
FAN2103 — TinyBuck™ 3 A, 24 V Input, Integrated Synchronous Buck Regulator
Because the FAN2103 employs summing current-mode
architecture, Type-2 compensation can be used for
many applications. For applications that require wide
loop bandwidth and/or use very low-ESR output
capacitors, Type-3 compensation may be required.
PCB Layout
The two fault protection circuits above are active all the
time, including during soft-start.
Auto-Restart
After a fault, EN is discharged with 1 µA to a 1.1 V
threshold before the 800 K pull-up is restored. A new
soft-start cycle begins when EN charges above 1.35 V.
Depending on the external circuit, the FAN2103 can be
provisioned to remain latched-off or automatically restart
after a fault.

ANTI-COUNTERFEITING POLICY
Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation's Anti-Counterfeiting Policy. Fairchild's Anti-Counterfeiting Policy is also stated on our external website, www.fairchildsemi.com,
under Sales Support.
Counterfeiting of semiconductor parts is a growing problem in the industry. All manufacturers of semiconductor products are experiencing counterfeiting of their
parts. Customers who inadvertently purchase counterfeit parts experience many problems such as loss of brand reputation, substandard performance, failed
applications, and increased cost of production and manufacturing delays. Fairchild is taking strong measures to protect ourselves and our customers from the
proliferation of counterfeit parts. Fairchild strongly encourages customers to purchase Fairchild parts either directly from Fairchild or from Authorized Fairchild
Distributors who are listed by country on our web page cited above. Products customers buy either from Fairchild directly or from Authorized Fairchild Distributors
are genuine parts, have full traceability, meet Fairchild's quality standards for handling and storage and provide access to Fairchild's full range of up-to-date technical
and product information. Fairchild and our Authorized Distributors will stand behind all warranties and will appropriately address any warranty issues that may arise.
Fairchild will not provide any warranty coverage or other assistance for parts bought from Unauthorized Sources. Fairchild is committed to combat this global
problem and encourage our customers to do their part in stopping this practice by buying direct or from authorized distributors.
