FAN6520B. If this current has nowhere to go—such as to
other distributed loads on the VCC rail, through a voltage
limiting protection device, or other methods—the capacitance on the VCC bus will absorb the current. This situation will allow the voltage level of the VCC rail to
increase. If the voltage level of the rail is boosted to a
level that exceeds the maximum voltage rating of the
FAN6520B, then the IC will experience an irreversible
failure and the converter will no longer be operational.
Ensure that there is a path for the current to follow other
than the capacitance on the rail to prevent this failure
mode.
Initialization
The FAN6520B automatically initializes upon receipt of
power. The Power-On Reset (POR) function continually
monitors the bias voltage at the VCC pin. When the supply voltage exceeds its POR threshold, the IC initiates
the soft-start operation.
Soft-Start
The POR function initiates the soft-start sequence. Softstart clamps the error amplifier output (COMP pin) and
reference input (noninverting terminal of the error amp)
to the internally generated soft-start voltage. Figure 3
shows a typical start up interval where the COMP pin
has been released from a grounded (system shutdown)
state. The clamp on the error amplifier (COMP pin) initially controls the converter’s output voltage during softstart. The oscillator’s triangular waveform is compared to
the ramping error amplifier voltage. This generates SW
pulses of increasing width that charge the output capacitor(s). When the internally generated soft-start voltage
exceeds the feedback (FB pin) voltage, the output voltage is in regulation. This method provides a rapid and
controlled output voltage rise. The entire startup
sequence typically takes about 11ms.
Application Guidelines
Layout Considerations
As in any high frequency switching converter, layout is
very important. Switching current from one power device
to another can generate voltage transients across the
impedances of the interconnecting bond wires and circuit
traces. Use wide, short-printed circuit traces to minimize
these interconnecting impedances. The critical components should be located as close together as possible,
using ground plane construction or single point
grounding.
Figure 4 shows the critical power components of the
converter. To minimize the voltage overshoot, the
interconnecting wires indicated by heavy lines should be
part of a ground or power plane in a printed circuit board.
The components shown in Figure 4 should be located as
close together as possible. Please note that the capacitors CIN and COUT may each represent numerous
physical capacitors. Locate the FAN6520B as close as
possible to Q1 and Q2 MOSFETs. The circuit traces for
the MOSFETs’ gate and source connections from the
FAN6520B must be sized to handle up to 1A peak
current.

When the converter is sinking current, it is behaving as a
boost converter that is regulating its input voltage. This
means that the converter is boosting current into the
VCC rail, which supplies the bias voltage to the
LOAD
The FAN6520B incorporates a MOSFET shoot-through
protection method which allows a converter to both sink
and source current. Care should be exercised when
designing a converter with the FAN6520B when it is
known that the converter may sink current.

Figure 6 highlights the voltage-mode control loop for a
synchronous-rectified buck converter. The output voltage
(VOUT) is regulated to the reference voltage level. The
error amplifier (Error Amp) output (VE/A) is compared
with the oscillator (OSC) triangular wave to provide a
pulse-width modulated (PWM) wave with an amplitude of
VIN at the SW node. The PWM wave is smoothed by the
output LC filter (LOUT and COUT).

Converter Compensation Design
The modulator transfer function is the small-signal transfer function of VOUT/VCOMP. This function is dominated by
a DC Gain and the output filter (LOUT and COUT), with a
double pole break frequency at FLC and a zero at FESR.
The DC Gain of the modulator is simply the input voltage
(VIN) divided by the peak-to-peak oscillator voltage
∆VOSC.
The compensation network consists of the error
amplifier (internal to the FAN6520B) and the impedance networks ZIN and ZFB. The goal of the compensation network is to provide a closed loop
transfer function with the highest 0dB crossing frequency (F0dB) and adequate phase margin. Phase
margin is the difference between the closed loop
phase at F0dB and 180 degrees. The equations
below relate the compensation network’s poles,
zeros and gain to the components (R1, R2, R3, C1,
C2, and C3) in Figure 6.

Output Capacitors (COUT)
Pick gain (R2/R1) for the desired converter bandwidth.
1st
Modern components and loads are capable of producing
transient load rates above 1A/ns. High frequency capacitors initially supply the transient and slow the current
load rate seen by the bulk capacitors. Effective Series
Resistance (ESR) and voltage rating are typically the
prime considerations for the bulk filter capacitors, rather
than actual capacitance requirements. High-frequency
decoupling capacitors should be placed as close to the
power pins of the load as physically possible. Be careful
not to add inductance in the circuit board wiring that
could cancel the performance of these low inductance
components. Consult with the load manufacturer on specific decoupling requirements. Use only specialized lowESR capacitors intended for switching-regulator applications for the bulk capacitors. The bulk capacitor’s ESR
will determine the output ripple voltage and the initial
voltage drop after a high slew-rate transient. An aluminum electrolytic capacitor’s ESR value is related to the
case size with lower ESR available in larger case sizes.
However, the Equivalent Series Inductance (ESL) of
these capacitors increases with case size and can
reduce the usefulness of the capacitor to high slew-rate
transient loading. Unfortunately, ESL is not a specified
parameter. Work with your capacitor supplier and measure the capacitor’s impedance with frequency to select
a suitable component. In most cases, multiple electrolytic
capacitors of small case size perform better than a single
large case capacitor.

Estimate phase margin. Repeat if necessary.
Figure 7 shows an asymptotic plot of the DC-DC converter’s gain vs. frequency. The actual Modulator Gain
has a high gain peak due to the high Q factor of the output filter and is not shown in Figure 7. Using the above
guidelines should give a Compensation Gain similar to
the curve plotted. The open loop error amplifier gain
bounds the compensation gain. Check the compensation
gain at FP2 with the capabilities of the error amplifier.
The Closed Loop Gain is constructed on the graph of
Figure 7 by adding the Modulator Gain (in dB) to the
Compensation Gain (in dB). This is equivalent to multiplying the modulator transfer function by the compensation transfer function and plotting the gain.
The compensation gain uses external impedance networks ZFB and ZIN to provide a stable, high bandwidth
(BW) overall loop. A stable control loop has a gain crossing with a –20dB/decade slope and a phase margin
greater than 45°. Include worst case component variations when determining phase margin.

Output Inductor (LOUT)
The output inductor is selected to meet the output voltage ripple requirements and minimize the converter’s

determines the converter’s ripple current and the ripple
voltage is a function of the ripple current. The ripple voltage (∆V) and current (∆I) are approximated by the following equations:

An output capacitor is required to filter the output and
supply the load transient current. The filtering requirements are a function of the switching frequency and the
ripple current. The load transient requirements are a
function of the slew rate (di/dt) and the magnitude of the
transient load current. These requirements are generally
met with a mix of capacitors and careful layout.

Increasing the inductance value reduces the ripple current and voltage. However, a large inductance value
reduces the converter’s ability to quickly respond to a
load transient. One of the parameters limiting the converter’s response to a load transient is the time required
to change the inductor current. Given a sufficiently fast
control loop design, the FAN6520B will provide either 0%
or 100% duty cycle in response to a load transient. The
response time is the time required to slew the inductor
current from an initial current value to the transient current level. During this interval the difference between the
inductor current and the transient current level must be
supplied by the output capacitor. Minimizing the response
time can minimize the output capacitance required.

capacitors for high-frequency decoupling and bulk
capacitors to supply the current needed each time Q1
turns on. Place the small ceramic capacitors physically
close to the MOSFETs and between the drain of Q1 and
the source of Q2. The important parameters for the bulk
input capacitor are the voltage rating and the RMS current rating. For reliable operation, select the bulk capacitor with voltage and current ratings above the maximum
input voltage and the largest RMS current required by
the circuit. The capacitor voltage rating should be at least
1.25 times greater than the maximum input voltage and a
voltage rating of 1.5 times is a conservative guideline.

In typical applications, the FAN6520B converter's output
voltage is low with respect to its input voltage, therefore
the lower MOSFET (Q2) is conducting the full load current for most of the cycle. Therefore choose a MOSFET
for Q2 which has low RDS(ON) to minimize conduction
losses.
ID
In contrast, the high-side MOSFET (Q1) has a much
shorter duty cycle, and its conduction loss will therefore
have less of an impact. Q1, however, sees most of the
switching losses, so Q1’s primary selection criteria
should be gate charge.

Most MOSFET vendors specify QGD and QGS. QG(SW)
can be determined as: QG(SW) = QGD + QGS – QTH
where QTH is the gate charge required to get the MOSFET to its threshold (VTH). For the high-side MOSFET,
VDS = VIN, which can be as high as 20V in a typical portable application. Care should also be taken to include
the delivery of the MOSFET’s gate power (PGATE) in calculating the power dissipation required for the
FAN6520B:
PGATE = QG × VCC × FSW
V OUT
is the minimum duty cycle for the converter.
D = -------------V IN
Since DMIN < 20% for portable computers, (1-D) ≈ 1
produces a conservative result, further simplifying the
calculation.
The maximum power dissipation (PD(MAX) ) is a function
of the maximum allowable die temperature of the lowside MOSFET, the θJ-A, and the maximum allowable
ambient temperature rise:
(17)
where QG is the total gate charge to reach VCC.
T J ( MAX ) – T A ( MAX )
P D ( MAX ) = -----------------------------------------------θJ – A
Low-Side Losses
Q2, however, switches on or off with its parallel shottky
diode conducting, therefore VDS ≈ 0.5V. Since PSW is
proportional to VDS, Q2’s switching losses are negligible
and we can select Q2 based on RDS(ON) only.
(19)
θJ-A, depends primarily on the amount of PCB area that
can be devoted to heat sinking (see Fairchild app note
AN-1029 for SO-8 MOSFET thermal information).
