Description
The FAN5026 PWM controller provides high efficiency
and regulation for two output voltages adjustable in the
range of 0.9V to 5.5V required to power I/O, chip-sets,
and memory banks in high-performance computers,
set-top boxes, and VGA cards. Synchronous
rectification and hysteretic operation at light loads
contribute to high efficiency over a wide range of loads.
Efficiency is enhanced by using MOSFET R
current-sense component.
Feedforward ramp modulation, average-current mode
control, and internal feedback compensation provide
fast response to load transients. Out-of-phase operation
with 180-degree phase shift reduces input current
ripple. The controller can be transformed into a
complete DDR memory power supply solution by
activating a designated pin. In DDR Mode, one of the
channels tracks the output voltage of another channel
and provides output current sink and source capability
— essential for proper powering of DDR chips. The
buffered reference voltage required by this type of
memory is also provided. The FAN5026 monitors these
outputs and generates separate PGx (power good)
signals when the soft-start is completed and the output
is within ±10% of the set point.
Over-voltage protection prevents the output voltage
from exceeding 120% of the set point. Normal operation
is automatically restored when over-voltage conditions
cease. Under-voltage protection latches the chip off
when output drops below 75% of the set value after the
soft-start sequence for this output is completed. An
adjustable over-current function monitors the output
current by sensing the voltage drop across the lower
MOSFET. If precision current-sensing is required, an
external current-sense resistor may be used.

Current Limit 1. A resistor from this pin to GND sets the current limit.
Soft Start. A capacitor from this pin to GND programs the slew rate of the converter during initialization. During initialization, this pin is charged with a 5mA current source.
DDR Mode Control. HIGH = DDR Mode. LOW = two separate regulators operating 180 degrees out of phase.
Input Voltage. Normally connected to the battery, providing voltage feedforward to set the
amplitude of the internal oscillator ramp. When using the IC for two-step conversion from 5V
input, connect through 100KΩ resistor to ground, which sets the appropriate ramp gain and
synchronizes the channels 90° out of phase.
Power-Good Flag. An open-drain output that pulls LOW when V

Power-Good 2. When not in DDR Mode, open-drain output that pulls LOW when the V
out of regulation or in a fault condition.
Reference Out 2. When in DDR Mode, provides a buffered output of REF2. Typically used as

VCC. This pin powers the chip as well as the LDRV buffers. The IC starts to operate when
voltage on this pin exceeds 4.6V (UVLO rising) and shuts down when it drops below 4.3V
(UVLO falling).
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.
