Description
The FAN5059 is a synchronous mode DC-DC controller IC
which provides a highly accurate, programmable set of output
voltages for multi-voltage platforms such as the Intel Camino,
and provides a complete solution for the Intel Whitney and other
high-performance processors. The FAN5059 features remote
voltage sensing, independently adjustable current limit, and a
proprietary Programmable Active Droop
transient response. The FAN5059 uses a 5-bit D/A converter
to program the output voltage from 1.3V to 3.5V. The
FAN5059 uses a high level of integration to deliver load

FAN5059PRODUCT SPECIFICATION
currents in excess of 16A from a 5V source with minimal
external circuitry. Synchronous-mode operation offers optimum efficiency over the entire specified output voltage range.
An on-board precision low TC reference achieves tight tolerance voltage regulation without expensive external components, while Programmable Active Droop
™
permits exact
tailoring of voltage for the most demanding load transients. The
FAN5059 includes linear regulator controllers for Vtt termination (1.5V), Vclock (2.5V), and Vnorthbridge (1.8V) or Vagp
(selectable 1.5V/3.3V), each adjustable with an external divider.
The FAN5059 also offers integrated functions including Power
Good, Output Enable/Soft Start and current limiting, and is
available in a 24 pin SOIC package.

Notes:
1. Steady State Voltage Regulation includes Initial Voltage Setpoint, Droop, Output Ripple and Output Temperature Drift and is
measured at the converter’s VFB sense point.
2. As measured at the converter’s VFB sense point. For motherboard applications, the PCB layout should exhibit no more than
0.5m Ω trace resistance between the converter’s output capacitors and the CPU. Remote sensing should be used for optimal
performance.
3. Using the VFB pin for remote sensing of the converter’s output at the load, the converter will be in compliance with Intel’s VRM 8.4
specification of +50, –80mV. If Intel specifications on maximum plane resistance from the converter’s output capacitors to the CPU
are met, the specification of +40, –70mV at the capacitors will also be met.
4. Actual output voltage (V
) at 0A load is 1% higher than specified in the “Typical” column.
