Description
The FAN7621B is a pulse frequency modulation
controller for high-efficiency half-bridge resonant
converters. Offering everything necessary to build a
reliable and robust resonant converter, the FAN7621B
simplifies designs and improves productivity, while
improving performance. The FAN7621B includes a high-
side gate-drive circuit, an accurate current controlled
oscillator, frequency limit circuit, soft-start, and built-in
protection functions. The high-side gate-drive circuit has
a common-mode noise cancellation capability, which
guarantees stable operation with excellent noise
immunity. Using the zero-voltage-switching (ZVS)
technique dramatically reduces the switching losses and
efficiency is significantly improved. The ZVS also
reduces the switching noise noticeably, which allows a
small-sized Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) filter.
The FAN7621B can be applied to various resonant
converter topologies; such as series resonant, parallel
resonant, and LLC resonant converters.

Description
This is the supply voltage of the high-side gate-drive circuit IC.
This is the drain of the low-side MOSFET. Typically, a transformer is connected to this pin.
This is the high-side gate driving signal.
No connection.
No connection.
This pin is for a protection and enabling/disabling the controller. When the voltage of this pin
is above 0.6V, the IC operation is enabled. When the voltage of this pin drops below 0.4V,
gate drive signals for both MOSFETs are disabled. When the voltage of this pin increases
above 5V, protection is triggered.
No connection.
This pin programs the switching frequency. Typically, an opto-coupler is connected to
control the switching frequency for the output voltage regulation.
This pin senses the current flowing through the low-side MOSFET. Typically, negative
voltage is applied on this pin.
This pin is the control ground.
No connection.
This pin is the supply voltage of the control IC.
No connection.
This is the low-side gate driving signal.
No connection.
This pin is the power ground. This pin is connected to the source of the low-side MOSFET.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses exceeding the absolute maximum ratings may damage the device. The device may not function or be
operable above the recommended operating conditions and stressing the parts to these levels is not recommended. In
addition, extended exposure to stresses above the recommended operating conditions may affect device reliability.
The absolute maximum ratings are stress ratings only. T
