Description
The FAN21SV04 TinyBuck™ is a highly efficient,
small-footprint, programmable-frequency, 4A,
integrated synchronous buck regulator.
FAN21SV04 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, thereby reducing cost. Onboard internal 5V regulator enables single-supply
operation for input voltages >6.5V.
The FAN21SV04 can be configured to drive multiple
slave devices OR synchronize to an external system
clock. In slave mode, FAN21SV04 may be set up to
be free-running in the absence of a master clock
signal.
External compensation, programmable switching
frequency, and current-limit features allow for design
optimization and flexibility. High-frequency operation
allows for all-ceramic solutions.
Fairchild’s advanced BiCMOS power process,
combined with low-R
thermally efficient MLP package, provide the ability to
dissipate high power in a small package. Integration
helps minimize critical inductances, making layout
simpler and more efficient compared to discrete
solutions.
Output over-voltage, under-voltage, over-current, and
thermal-shutdown protections help protect the device
from damage during fault conditions. FAN21SV04
prevents pre-biased output discharge during startup in
point-of-load 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
internal synchronous bootstrap diode to recharge the capacitor on this pin to 5V_Reg when
SW is LOW.
Regulator Input Voltage. Input voltage to the internal regulator. Connect to input voltage
>6.5V with 10resistor and a 1µF bypass capacitor at the pin (see Figure 10).
Power-Good. An open-drain output that pulls LOW when the voltage on the FB pin is
outside the specified limits. PGOOD does not assert HIGH until the fault latch is enabled
(see Figure 31).
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 a latched
fault occurs, EN is discharged by a current sink.
5V Regulator Output. Internal regulator output that provides power for the IC’s logic and
analog circuitry. This pin should be connected 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.
Current Limit. A resistor (R
limit trip threshold lower than the internal default setting.
Switching Frequency and Master/Slave Set. Connecting a resistor (R
switching frequency and configures the CLK pin as an output (master). Tying this pin to
5V_Reg through a resistor configures the CLK signal as an input (slave) and establishes the
free-running switching frequency.
Output Voltage Feedback. Connect through a resistor divider to the output voltage.
Compensation. Error amplifier output. Connect the external compensation network
between this pin and FB.
Clock. Bi-directional signal pin, depending on master/slave configuration. When configured
as a master, this pin represents the clock output that connects directly to the slave(s) for
synchronizing with 180° phase shift.
Ramp Amplitude. A resistor (R
amplitude and also provides voltage feedforward functionality.

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.
The Recommended Operating Conditions table defines the conditions for actual device operation. Recommended
operating conditions are specified to ensure optimal performance to the datasheet specifications. Fairchild does not
recommend exceeding them or designing to Absolute Maximum Ratings.
