Description
The FAN5099 combines a high-efficiency pulse-width
modulated (PWM) controller and an LDO (Low DropOut)
linear regulator controller. The PWM controller is
designed to operate over a wide frequency range (50kHz
to 600kHz) to accommodate a variety of applications.
Synchronous rectification provides high efficiency over a
wide range of load currents. Efficiency is further
enhanced by using the low-side MOSFET’s R
sense current. In addition, the capability to operate at low
switching frequencies provides opportunities to boost
power supply efficiency by reducing switching losses and
gain cost savings using low-cost materials, such as powdered iron cores, on the output inductor.
Both the linear and PWM regulator soft-start are controlled by a single external capacitor, to limit in rush current from the supply when the regulators are first
enabled. Current limit for PWM is also programmable.
The FAN5099’s ability to handle wide input voltage
ranges makes this controller suitable for power solutions
in a wide range of applications involving conversion input
voltages from Silver box, battery, and adapters. The
PWM regulator employs a summing-current-mode control with external compensation to achieve fast load transient response and provide system design optimization.
FAN5099 is offered in both industrial temperature grade
(-40°C to +85°C) as well as commercial temperature
grade (-10°C to +85°C).

2R(T)Oscillator Set Resistor. This pin provides oscillator switching frequency adjustment. By plac-
ing a resistor (RT) from this pin to GND, the nominal 50kHz switching frequency is increased.
3ILIMCurrent Limit. A resistor from this pin to GND sets the current limit.
4 SSSoft-Start. A capacitor from this pin to GND programs the slew rate of the converter and the
LDO during initialization. It also sets the time by which the converter delays when restarting
after a fault occurs. SS has to reach 1.2V before fault shutdown feature is enabled. The LDO
is enabled when SS reaches 2.2V.
5COMPCOMP. The output of the error amplifier drives this pin.
6FBFeedback. This pin is the inverting input of the internal error amplifier. Use this pin, in combi-
nation with the COMP pin, to compensate the feedback loop of the converter.
7ENEnable. Enables operation when pulled to logic high. Toggling EN resets the regulator after a
latched fault condition. This is a CMOS input whose state is indeterminate if left open and
needs to be properly biased at all times.

The “Absolute Maximum Ratings” are those values beyond which the safety of the device cannot be guaranteed. The
device should not be operated at these limits. The parametric values defined in the Electrical Characteristics tables
are not guaranteed at the absolute maximum ratings. The “Recommended Operating Conditions” table defines the
conditions for actual device operation.

Notes:
1. Stresses above those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. This
is a stress rating only; functional operation of the device at these or any 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. Unless
otherwise specified, all other voltages are referenced to AGND.
