FAN4860 — 3MHz, Synchronous TinyBoost™ Regulator
3.3 VOUT Typical Characteristics
Circuit Description
PFM Mode
The FAN4860 is a synchronous boost regulator, typically
operating at 3 MHz in Continuous Conduction Mode
(CCM), which occurs at moderate to heavy load current
and low VIN voltages.
If VOUT > VREF when the minimum off-time has ended, the
regulator enters PFM Mode. Boost pulses are inhibited until
VOUT < VREF. The minimum on-time is increased to enable
the output to pump up sufficiently with each PFM boost
pulse. Therefore, the regulator behaves like a constant ontime regulator, with the bottom of its output voltage ripple at
5.05 V in PFM Mode.
At light-load currents, the converter switches automatically to
power-saving PFM Mode. The regulator automatically and
smoothly
transitions
between
quasi-fixed-frequency
continuous conduction PWM Mode and variable-frequency
PFM Mode to maintain the highest possible efficiency over
the full range of load current and input voltage.
Table 1.
Mode
PWM Mode Regulation
The FAN4860 uses a minimum on-time and computed
minimum off-time to regulate VOUT. The regulator achieves
excellent transient response by employing current mode
modulation. This technique causes the regulator output to
exhibit a load line. During PWM Mode, the output voltage
drops slightly as the input current rises. With a constant VIN,
this appears as a constant output resistance.
Invoked When:
LIN
Linear Startup
VIN > VOUT
SS
Boost Soft-Start
VOUT < VREG
BST
Boost Operating Mode
VOUT=VREG
If EN is LOW, all bias circuits are off and the regulator is in
Shutdown Mode. During shutdown, true load disconnect
between battery and load prevents current flow from VIN to
VOUT, as well as reverse flow from VOUT to VIN.
LIN State
When EN rises, if VIN > UVLO, the regulator first attempts to
bring VOUT within about 1V of VIN by using the internal fixed
current source from VIN (ILIN1). The current is limited to about
630 mA during LIN1 Mode.
700
3.3 Vout
Output Resistance (m)
Description
Shutdown and Startup
The “droop” caused by the output resistance when a load is
applied allows the regulator to respond smoothly to load
transients with negligible overshoot.

Operating States
If VOUT reaches VIN-1V during LIN1 Mode, the SS state is
initiated. Otherwise, LIN1 times out after 16 clock counts and
the LIN2 Mode is entered.

In LIN2 Mode, the current source is incremented to 850 mA.
If VOUT fails to reach VIN-1 V after 64 clock counts, a fault
condition is declared.

Upon the successful completion of the LIN state (VOUT>VIN1 V), the regulator begins switching with boost pulses current
limited to about 50% of nominal level, incrementing to full
scale over a period of 32 clock counts.

If the output fails to achieve 90% of its set point within 96 clock
counts at full-scale current limit, a fault condition is declared.
When the regulator is in PWM CCM Mode and the target
VOUT = 5.05 V, VOUT is a function of ILOAD and can be
computed as:
VOUT  5.05  R OUT  ILOAD
BST State
This is the normal operating mode of the regulator. The
regulator uses a minimum tOFF-minimum tON modulation
(1)
VIN
scheme. Minimum tOFF is proportional to VOUT , which keeps
the regulator’s switching frequency reasonably constant in
CCM. tON(MIN) is proportional to VIN and is higher if the inductor
current reaches 0 before tOFF(MIN) during the prior cycle.
For example, at VIN=3.3 V, and ILOAD=200 mA, VOUT drops to:
VOUT  5.05  0.38  0.2  4.974 V
(1A)
To ensure that VOUT does not pump significantly above the
regulation point, the boost switch remains off as long as
FB > VREF.
At VIN=2.3 V, and ILOAD=200 mA, VOUT drops to:
VOUT  5.05  0.68  0.2  4.914 V

FAN4860 — 3MHz, Synchronous TinyBoost™ Regulator
Functional Description
The regulator enters the FAULT state under any of the
following conditions:

VOUT fails to achieve the voltage required to advance from
LIN state to SS state.

VOUT fails to achieve the voltage required to advance from
SS state to BST state.

Sustained (32 CLK counts) pulse-by-pulse current limit
during the BST state.

The regulator moves from BST to LIN state due to a short
circuit or output overload (VOUT < VIN-1 V).
Once a fault is triggered, the regulator stops switching and
presents a high-impedance path between VIN and VOUT. After
waiting 480 CLK counts, a restart is attempted.
Figure 49. LIN Mode Current vs. VIN
Soft-Start and Fault Timing
The soft-start timing for each state, and the fault times, are
determined by the fault clock, whose period is inversely
proportional to VIN. This allows the regulator more time to
charge larger values of COUT when VIN is lower. With higher
VIN, this also reduces power delivered to VOUT during each
cycle in current limit.
Over-Temperature Protection (OTP)
The number of clock counts for each state is illustrated in
Figure 47.
Over-Current Protection (OCP)
The regulator shuts down when the thermal shutdown
threshold is reached. Restart, with soft-start, occurs when
the IC has cooled by about 30°C.
During Boost Mode, the FAN4860 employs a cycle-by-cycle
peak current limit to protect switching elements. Sustained
current limit, for 32 consecutive fault clock counts, initiates a
fault condition.
During an overload condition, as VOUT collapses to
approximately VIN-1 V, the synchronous rectifier is
immediately switched off and a fault condition is declared.
Automatic restart occurs once the overload/short is removed
and the fault timer completes counting.

The fault clock period as a function of VIN is shown in Figure 48.

FAN4860 — 3MHz, Synchronous TinyBoost™ Regulator
The VIN-dependent LIN Mode charging current is illustrated
in Figure 49.
Fault State
CEFF varies with manufacturer, dielectric material, case size,
and temperature. Some manufacturers may be able to
provide an X5R capacitor in 0402 case size that retains CEFF
>1.5 F with 5V bias; others may not. If this CEFF cannot be
economically obtained and 0402 case size is required, the IC
can work with the 0402 capacitor as long as the minimum
VIN is restricted to >2.7 V.
For best performance, a 10 V-rated 0603 output capacitor is
recommended (Kemet C0603C475K8PAC, or equivalent).
Since it retains greater CEFF under bias and over
temperature, output ripple can is reduced and transient
capability enhanced.

Output voltage ripple is inversely proportional to COUT.
During tON, when the boost switch is on, all load current is
supplied by COUT.
Note:

such as Murata GRM188R60J225M. All datasheet
parameters are valid with the 6.3 V-rated capacitor.
Due to DC bias effects, the 10 V capacitor offers a
performance enhancement; particularly output ripple
and transient response, without any size increase.

As can be seen from Equation 4, the maximum VRIPPLE
occurs when VIN is minimum and ILOAD is maximum.
Startup
Input current limiting is in effect during soft-start, which limits
the current available to charge COUT. If the output fails to
achieve regulation within the time period described in the
soft-start section above; a FAULT occurs, causing the circuit
to shut down, then restart after a significant time period. If
COUT is a very high value, the circuit may not start on the first
attempt, but eventually achieves regulation if no load is
present. If a high-current load and high capacitance are both
present during soft-start, the circuit may fail to achieve
regulation and continually attempt soft-start, only to have
COUT discharged by the load when in the FAULT state.
The circuit can start with higher values of COUT under full
load if VIN is higher, since:

CEFF values shown in Table 4 typically apply to the lowest
VIN. The presence of higher VIN enhances ability to start into
larger CEFF at full load.
Transient Protection
Figure 52. WLCSP Suggested Layout (Top View)
TVS
To protect against external voltage transients caused by
ESD discharge events, or improper external connections,
some applications employ an external transient voltage
suppressor (TVS) and Schottky diode (D1 in Figure 51).
Figure 51. FAN4860 with External Transient Protection
The TVS is designed to clamp the FB line (system VOUT) to
+10 V or –2 V during external transient events. The Schottky
diode protects the output devices from the positive
excursion. The FB pin can tolerate up to 14 V of positive
excursion, while both the FB and VOUT pins can tolerate
negative voltages.
Figure 53. UMLP Suggested Layout (Top View)
The FAN4860 includes a circuit to detect a missing or
defective D1 by comparing VOUT to FB. If VOUT – FB > about
0.7 V, the IC shuts down. The IC remains shut down until
VOUT < UVLO and VIN < UVLO+0.7 or EN is toggled.
COUT2 may be necessary to preserve load transient response
when the Schottky is used. When a load is applied at the FB
pin, the forward voltage of the D1 rapidly increases before
the regulator can respond or the inductor current can
change. This causes an immediate drop of up to 300 mV,
depending on D1’s characteristics if COUT2 is absent. COUT2
supplies instantaneous current to the load while the regulator
adjusts the inductor current. A value of at least half of the
minimum value of COUT should be used for COUT2. COUT2
needs to withstand the maximum voltage at the FB pin as
the TVS is clamping.
The maximum DC output current available is reduced with
this circuit, due to the additional dissipation of D1.
