Description
The FAN5038 provides a complete low-cost power system
for DSPs and other loads requiring high-performance. The
FAN5038 combines an adjustable switch-mode DC-DC
converter for core power with a low-dropout linear regulator
for I/O power in a space-saving SO-16 package. Simple
external circuitry provides power sequencing and independent current limits. An internal precision voltage reference
allows the switcher to be adjusted from 1.5V to 3.6V. With
the appropriate external components, the FAN5038 can
deliver core power up to 13A, and I/O power up to 5A,
allowing multiple DSPs to be powered with a single device.

Linear regulator enable input. Accepts TTL/open collector input levels. A logic level HIGH
on this pin disables the output of the linear regulator.
Voltage reference test point. This pin provides access to the internal precision 1.5V
bandgap reference and should be decoupled to ground using a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor.
No load should be connected to this pin.
High side current feedback for switching regulator. Pins 3 and 4 are used as the inputs
for the current feedback control loop and as the short circuit current sense points. Careful
layout of the traces from these pins to the current sense resistor is critical for optimal
performance of the short circuit protection scheme. See Applications Discussion for details.
Low side current feedback for switching regulator. See Applications Discussion for
details.
Voltage feedback for switching regulator. This input is active when a logic level LOW is
input on pin 16 (SWCTRL). Using two external resistors, it sets the output voltage level for
the switching regulator. See Applications Discussion for details.
Switching Regulator V
Power supply for switching regulator control circuitry and
cc
voltage reference. Connect to system 5V supply and decouple to ground with 0.1µF
ceramic capacitor.
Voltage feedback for linear regulator. Using two external resistors, this pin sets the
output voltage level for the linear regulator. See Applications Discussion for details.
Power Ground. Return pin for high currents flowing in pins 9, 10 and 12 (SDRV, VCCP and
LDRV). Connect to a low impedance ground. See Applications Discussion for details.
FET driver output for switching regulator. Connect this pin to the gate of the N-channel
MOSFET Q1 as shown in Figure 1. The trace from this pin to the MOSFET gate should be
kept as short as possible (less than 0.5"). See Applications Discussion for details.
Switching regulator gate drive V
Power supply for SDRV output driver. Connect to
cc
system 12V supply with R-C filter shown in Figure 1. See Applications Discussion for
details.
Linear Regulator Vcc. Power supply for LDRV output op-amp. Connect to system 12V
supply and decouple to ground with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor.
Output driver for linear regulator. Connect this pin to the base of an NPN transistor.
When pin 1 (LIN_EN) is pulled HIGH, the linear regulator is disabled and pin 12 will be
pulled low internally.
Low side current sense for linear regulator. Connect this pin between the sense resistor
and the collector of the power transistor. The high side current sense is internally connected
to pin 6 (VCCA). Layout is critical to optimal performance of the linear regulator short circuit
protection scheme. See Applications Discussion for details.

Analog ground. All low power internal circuitry returns to this pin. This pin should be
connected to system ground so that ground loops are avoided. See Applications Discussion
for details.

External capacitor. A 100pF capacitor is connected to this pin as part of the constant
on-time pulse width circuit. Careful layout of this pin is critical to system performance. See
Applications Discussion for details.
SWCTRL16
Switching regulator control input. Accepts TTL/open collector input levels. A logic level
HIGH on this pin presets the switching regulator output voltage at 3.5V using internal
resistors. A logic level LOW on this pin will select the output voltage set by two external
resistors and the voltage feedback control pin 5 (VFBSW). See Applications Discussion for
details.

Notes:
1. When the SWCTRL pin is HIGH or left open, the switch-mode regulator output will be preset at 3.5V using internal precision
resistors. When the SWCTRL pin is LOW, the output voltage may be programmed with external resistors. Please refer to
the Applications Section for output voltage selection information.
2. Setpoint accuracy is the initial output voltage variability under the specified conditions. When SWCTRL is LOW, the matching
of the external resistors will have a major influence on this parameter.
3. Cumulative DC accuracy includes setpoint accuracy, temperature drift, line and load regulation, and output ripple.
4. The on-time pulse width of the oscillator is preset using external capacitor C
curves.
