Description
The FAN5099 combines a high-efficiency pulse-width
modulated (PWM) controller and an LDO (low drop out)
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
DS(ON)
to
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 pow-
dered iron cores, on the output inductor.
Both the linear and PWM regulator soft-start are con-
trolled by a single external capacitor, to limit in rush cur-
rent 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 con-
trol with external compensation to achieve fast load tran-
sient 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).

Pin Description
LDO Feedback.
This node is regulated to V
REF
.
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.
Current Limit.
A resistor from this pin to GND sets the current limit.
Soft-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.
COMP.
The output of the error amplifier drives this pin.
Feedback.
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.
Enable.
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.
Analog Ground.
The signal ground for the IC. All internal control voltages are referred to this
pin. Tie this pin to the ground island/plane through the lowest impedance connection available.
Switching Node.
Return for the high-side MOSFET driver and a current sense input. Connect
to source of high-side MOSFET and drain of low-side MOSFET.
High-Side Gate Drive Output.
Connect to the gate of the high-side power MOSFETs. This
pin is also monitored by the adaptive shoot-through protection circuitry to determine when the
high-side MOSFET is turned off.
Bootstrap Supply Input.
Provides a boosted voltage to the high-side MOSFET driver.
Connect to bootstrap capacitor as shown in Figure 1.
Power Ground.
The return for the low-side MOSFET driver. Connect to source of low-side
MOSFET.
Low-Side Gate Drive Output.
Connect to the gate of the low-side power MOSFETs. This pin
is also monitored by the adaptive shoot-through protection circuitry to determine when the
lower MOSFET is turned off.
Ramp Resistor.
A resistor from this pin to VIN sets the ramp amplitude and provides voltage
feed-forward.
V
CC
.
Provides bias power to the IC and the drive voltage for LDRV. Bypass with a ceramic
capacitor as close to this pin as possible. This pin has a shunt regulator which draws current
when the input voltage is above 5.6V.
Gate Drive for the LDO.
Turned off (low) until SS is greater than 2.2V.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses exceeding the absolute maximum ratings may damage the device. The device may not function or be opera-
ble above the recommended operating conditions and stressing the parts to these levels is not recommended. In addi-
tion, extended exposure to stresses above the recommended operating conditions may affect device reliability. The
absolute maximum ratings are stress ratings only. Absolute maximum ratings apply individually only, not in combina-
tion. Unless otherwise specified, all other voltages are referenced to AGND.
