Detailed Operation Description
FAN5069 combines a high-efficiency, fixed-frequency
PWM controller designed for single-phase synchronous
buck Point-Of-Load converters with an integrated LDO
controller to support GTL-type loads. This controller is
ideally suited to deliver low-voltage, high-current power
supplies   needed   in   desktop   computers,   notebooks,
workstations, and servers. The controller comes with an
integrated boot diode which helps reduce component
cost and increase space savings. With this controller, the
input to the power supply can be varied from 3V to 24V
and the output voltage can be set to regulate at 0.8V to
15V on the switcher output. The LDO output can be con-
figured to regulate between 0.8V to 3V and the input to
the LDO can be from 1.5V to 5V, respectively. An internal
shunt regulator at the VCC pin facilitates the controller
operation from either a 5V or 12V power source.
V
CC
Bias Supply
FAN5069 can be configured to operate from 5V or 12V
for V
CC
. When 5V supply is used for V
CC
, no resistor is
required to be connected between the supply and the
V
CC
. When the 12V supply is used, a resistor R
VCC
is
connected between the 12V supply and the V
CC,
as
shown in Figure 1. The internal shunt regulator at the
VCC pin is capable of sinking 150mA of current to
ensure that the controllers internal V
CC
is maintained at
5.6V maximum.
Choose a resistor such that:
?SPAN class="pst FAN5069EMTCX_2464147_4">  It is rated to handle the power dissipation.
?SPAN class="pst FAN5069EMTCX_2464147_4">  Current sunk within the controller is minimized to
prevent IC temperature rise.

Selection (IC)
The selection of R
VCC
is dependent on:
?SPAN class="pst FAN5069EMTCX_2464147_4">  Variation of the 12V supply
?SPAN class="pst FAN5069EMTCX_2464147_4">  Gate charge of the top and bottom FETs (Q

)
?SPAN class="pst FAN5069EMTCX_2464147_4">  Switching frequency (F

?SPAN class="pst FAN5069EMTCX_2464147_4">  Shunt regulator minimum current (1mA)
?SPAN class="pst FAN5069EMTCX_2464147_4">  Quiescent current of the IC (I

PWM Section
The FAN5069s PWM controller combines the conven-
tional voltage mode control and current sensing through
lower MOSFET R
DS_ON
to generate the PWM signals.
This method of current sensing is loss-less and cost
effective. For more accurate current sense requirements,
an optional external resistor can be connected with the
bottom MOSFET in series.
