Description
The FAN5233 is a high efficiency and high precision
multiple-output voltage regulator for notebook PC and other
similar battery-powered applications. It integrates three
pulse-width modulated (PWM) switching regulator
controllers and one linear regulator to convert 5.4V-to-24V
notebook battery power into the voltage used by the circuitry
that surrounds the microprocessor in these systems.
The two primary PWM controllers in the FAN5233 use
synchronous-mode rectification to provide 3.3V and 5V at
over 5A each. They switch out-of-phase to minimize input
ripple-current. Utilization of both input and output voltage
feedback in a current-mode control allows for fast and stable
loop response over a wide range of input and output
variations. PWM control in normal operation and hysteretic
control under light load provides efficiency of greater than
95% over a wide range of input and output variations. The
third PWM controller generates 12V at 120mA. A proprietary technology is used for sensing of output current using
the RDS(ON) of the external MOSFETs, eliminating external current sense resistors which saves board space and
reduces BOM cost.
One integrated linear regulator provides stand-by
ALWAYS-ON power at 5V for light (50mA) loads.
Additional FAN5233 features include over-voltage, undervoltage, and over-current monitors and thermal shutdown
protection. A single Power-Good signal is issued when soft
start is completed and all outputs are within ±10% of their
settings.
