Description
The FAN5331 is a general purpose, fixed-frequency boost converter designed to operate at high switching frequencies in
order to minimize switching noise measured at the battery terminal of hand-held communications equipment. Quiescent current in normal mode of operation as well as in shutdown mode
is designed to be minimal in order to extend battery life. Normal
mode of operation or shutdown mode can be selected by a logic
level shutdown circuitry.
The low ON-resistance of the internal N-channel switch ensures
high efficiency and low power dissipation. A cycle-by-cycle current limit circuit keeps the peak current of the switch below a
typical value of 1A. The FAN5331 is available in a 5-lead SOT23 package.

Notes:
1. Stresses above those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. This
is a stress rating only and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions above those indicated
in the operational section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for
extended periods may affect device reliability. Absolute maximum ratings apply individually only, not in combination.
2. Using EIA/JESD22A114B (Human Body Model) and EIA/JESD22C101-A (Charge Device Model).
3. This load capacitance value is required for the loop stability. Tolerance, temperature variation, and voltage
dependency of the capacitance must be considered. Typically a 4.7µF ceramic capacitor is required to achieve
specified value at V

Circuit Description
The FAN5331 is a pulse-width modulated (PWM) current-mode
boost converter. The FAN5331 improves the performance of battery powered equipment by significantly minimizing the spectral
distribution of noise at the input caused by the switching action of
the regulator. In order to facilitate effective noise filtering, the
switching frequency was chosen to be high, 1.6MHz. An internal
soft start circuitry minimizes in-rush currents. The timing of the soft
start circuit was chosen to reach 95% of the nominal output voltage
within maximum 5mS following an enable command when V

OUT (EFFECTIVE)
The device architecture is that of a current mode controller with
an internal sense resistor connected in series with the N-channel switch. The voltage at the feedback pin tracks the output
voltage at the cathode of the external Schottky diode (shown in
the test circuit). The error amplifier amplifies the difference
between the feedback voltage and the internal bandgap reference. The amplified error voltage serves as a reference voltage
to the PWM comparator. The inverting input of the PWM comparator consists of the sum of two components: the amplified
control signal received from the 50m Ω current sense resistor
and the ramp generator voltage derived from the oscillator. The
oscillator sets the latch, and the latch turns on the FET switch.
Under normal operating conditions, the PWM comparator resets
the latch and turns off the FET, thus terminating the pulse.
Since the comparator input contains information about the output voltage and the control loop is arranged to form a negative
feedback loop, the value of the peak inductor current will be
adjusted to maintain regulation.
Every time the latch is reset, the FET is turned off and the current flow through the switch is terminated. The latch can be

reset by other events as well. Over-current condition is monitored by the current limit comparator which resets the latch and
turns off the switch instantaneously within each clock cycle.
Over-Voltage Protection
The voltage on the feedback pin is sensed by an OVP Comparator. When the feedback voltage is 15% higher than the nominal
voltage, the OVP Comparator stops switching of the power transistor, thus preventing the output voltage from going higher.

Setting the Output Voltage
The internal reference is 1.23V (Typical). The output voltage is
divided by a resistor divider, R1 and R2 to the FB pin. The output voltage is given by

Inductor Selection
The inductor parameters directly related to device performances
are saturation current and dc resistance. The FAN5331 operates with a typical inductor value of 10µH. The lower the dc
resistance, the higher the efficiency. Usually a trade-off between
inductor size, cost and overall efficiency is needed to make the
optimum choice.

FAN5331 High Efficiency Serial LED Driver and OLED Supply with 20V Integrated Switch
The inductor saturation current should be rated around 1A,
which is the threshold of the internal current limit circuit. This
limit is reached only during the start-up and with heavy load
condition; when this event occurs the converter can shift over in
discontinuous conduction mode due to the automatic turn-off of
the switching transistor, resulting in higher ripple and reduced
efficiency.

Capacitors Selection
For best performance, low ESR input and output capacitors are
required. Ceramic capacitors in the range 4.7µF to 10µF, placed
as close to the IC pins, are recommended for the lower input
and output ripple. The output capacitor voltage rating should be

PCB Layout Recommendations
The inherently high peak currents and switching frequency of
power supplies require careful PCB layout design. Therefore,
use wide traces for high current paths and place the input
capacitor, the inductor, and the output capacitor as close as
possible to the integrated circuit terminals. The resistor divider
that sets the output voltage should be routed away from the
inductor to avoid RF coupling. A four layer PCB with at least one
ground plane connected to the pin 2 of the IC is recommended.
This ground plane acts as an electromagnetic shield to reduce
EMI and parasitic coupling between components.

Diode Selection
The external diode used for rectification is usually a Schottky
diode. Its average forward current and reverse voltage maximum ratings should exceed the load current and the voltage at
the output of the converter respectively. A barrier Schottky diode
such as BAT54 is preferred, due to its lower reverse current over
the temperature range.
Care should be taken to avoid any short circuit of V
OUT
even with the IC disabled, since the diode can be instantly damaged by the excessive current.
Thermal Shutdown
When the die temperature exceeds 150°C, a reset occurs and
will remain in effect until the die cools to 130°C, at that time the
circuit will be allowed to restart.
