Description
The FAN2110 TinyBuck™ is a highly efficient, small
footprint, constant frequency, 10A integrated
synchronous Buck regulator.
The FAN2110 contains both synchronous MOSFETs
and a controller/driver with optimized interconnects in
one package, which enables designers to solve highcurrent requirements in a small area with minimal
external components. Integration helps to minimize
critical inductances making component layout simpler
and more efficient compared to discrete solutions.
The FAN2110 provides for external loop compensation,
programmable switching frequency, and current limit.
These features allow design flexibility and optimization.
High frequency operation allows for all ceramic
solutions.
The summing current mode modulator uses lossless
current sensing for current feedback and over-current
protection. Voltage feedforward helps operation over a
wide input voltage range.
Fairchild’s advanced BiCMOS power process, combined
with low-R
efficient MLP package, provide the ability to dissipate
high power in a small package.
Output over-voltage, under-voltage, and thermal
shutdown protections help protect the device from
damage during fault conditions. FAN2110 also prevents
pre-biased output discharge during startup in point-ofload applications.

Switching Node. Junction of high-side and low-side MOSFETs.
Power Conversion Input Voltage. Connect to the main input power source.
Power Ground. Power return and Q2 source.
High-Side Drive BOOT Voltage. Connect through capacitor (C
an internal synchronous bootstrap diode to recharge the capacitor on this pin to VCC when
SW is LOW.
Power-Good Flag. An open-drain output that pulls LOW when FB is outside the limits
specified in electrical specs. PGOOD does not assert HIGH until the fault latch is enabled.
ENABLE. Enables operation when pulled to logic HIGH or left open. Toggling EN resets the
regulator after a latched fault condition. This input has an internal pull-up when the IC is
functioning normally. When a latched fault occurs, EN is discharged by a current sink.
Input Bias Supply for IC. The IC’s logic and analog circuitry are powered from this pin. This
pin should be decoupled to AGND through a > 2.2µF X5R / X7R capacitor.
Analog Ground. The 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.

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.
