Description
The FAN2013B is a high-efficiency, low-noise,
synchronous Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) currentmode DC-DC converter designed for low-voltage
applications. It provides up to 2A continuous-load
current from the 4.5V to 5.5V input. The output voltage
is adjustable over a wide range by means of an external
voltage divider.
The FAN2013B is enabled when the input voltage on
the V
pin exceeds the UVLO threshold.
IN
A current-mode control loop with a fast transient
response ensures excellent line and load regulation.
The fixed 1.2MHz switching frequency enables
designers to choose a small, inexpensive external
inductor and capacitor. Filtering can be accomplished
with small components, reducing space and cost.
Protection features include input under-voltage lockout,
short-circuit protection, and thermal shutdown. Softstart limits inrush current during start-up conditions.
The device is available in a 3x3mm 6-lead MLP.

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.

Notes:
1. Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, θJA, is a strong function of PCB material, board thickness, thickness and
number of copper planes, number of via used, diameter of via used, available copper surface, and attached heat
sink characteristics.
