FAN5026
Dual DDR/Dual-Output PWM Controller
Features
General Description
■ Highly flexible dual synchronous switching PWM
The FAN5026 PWM controller provides high efficiency
and regulation for two output voltages adjustable in the
range from 0.9V to 5.5V that are required to power I/O,
chip-sets, and memory banks in high-performance computers, set top boxes, and VGA cards. Synchronous rectification contributes to high efficiency over a wide range
of loads. Efficiency is even further enhanced by using
MOSFET’s RDS(ON) as a current sense component.

controller includes modes for:
– DDR mode with in-phase operation for reduced
channel interference
– 90° phase shifted two-stage DDR Mode for reduced
input ripple
– Dual Independent regulators 180° phase shifted
Complete DDR Memory power solution
– VTT Tracks VDDQ/2
– VDDQ/2 Buffered Reference Output
Lossless current sensing on low-side MOSFET or
Precision current sensing using sense resistor
VCC Under-voltage Lockout
Wide power input range: 3 to 16V
Excellent dynamic response with Voltage
Feed-Forward and Average Current Mode control
Power-Good Signal
Supports DDR-II and HSTL
TSSOP28 package
Feed-forward ramp modulation, average current mode
control scheme, and internal feedback compensation
provide fast response to load transients. Out-of-phase
operation with 180° phase shift reduces input current
ripple. The controller can be transformed into a complete DDR memory power supply solution by activating a
designated pin. In DDR mode of operation one of the
channels tracks the output voltage of another channel
and provides output current sink and source capability —
features essential for proper powering of DDR chips. The
buffered reference voltage required by this type of memory is also provided. The FAN5026 monitors these outputs and generates separate PGx (power good) signals
when the soft-start is completed and the output is within
±10% of its set point. A built-in over-voltage protection
prevents the output voltage from going above 120% of
the set point. Normal operation is automatically restored
when the over-voltage conditions go away. Under-voltage protection latches the chip off when either output
drops below 75% of its set value after the soft-start
sequence for this output is completed. An adjustable
over-current function monitors the output current by
sensing the voltage drop across the lower MOSFET. If
precision current-sensing is required, an external current-sense resistor may optionally be used.

Overview
VDDQ
The FAN5026 is a multi-mode, dual channel PWM controller intended for graphic chipset, SDRAM, DDR DRAM
or other low output voltage power applications in PC’s,
VGA Cards and set top boxes. The IC integrates a control circuitry for two synchronous buck converters. The
output voltage of each controller can be set in the range
of 0.9V to 5.5V by an external resistor divider.
VTT
Figure 6. Noise-Susceptible 180° Phasing for
DDR1
In-phase operation is optimal to reduce inter-converter
interference when VIN is higher than 5V, (when VIN is
from a battery), as can be seen in Figure 7. Since the
duty cycle of PWM1 (generating VDDQ) is short, its
switching point occurs far away from the decision point
for the VTT regulator, whose duty cycle is nominally 50%.
The two synchronous buck converters can operate from
either an unregulated DC source (such as a notebook
battery) with voltage ranging from 5.0V to 16V, or from a
regulated system rail of 3.3V to 5V. In either mode of
operation the IC is biased from a +5V source. The PWM
modulators use an average current mode control with
input voltage feed-forward for simplified feedback loop
compensation and improved line regulation. Both PWM
controllers have integrated feedback loop compensation that dramatically reduces the number of external
components.
CLK
VDDQ
The FAN5026 can be configured to operate as a complete DDR solution. When the DDR pin is set high, the
second channel can provide the capability to track the
output voltage of the first channel. The PWM2 converter
is prevented from going into hysteretic mode if the DDR
pin is set high. In DDR mode, a buffered reference voltage (buffered voltage of the REF2 pin), required by DDR
memory chips, is provided by the PG2 pin.
VTT
Figure 7. Optimal In-Phase Operation for DDR1
When VIN ≈ 5V, 180° phase shifted operation can be
rejected for the same reasons demonstrated Figure 6.
In-phase operation with VIN ≈ 5V is even worse, since
the switch point of either converter occurs near the
switch point of the other converter as seen in Figure 8. In
this case, as VIN is a little higher than 5V it will tend to
cause early termination of the VTT pulse width. Conversely, VTT’s switch point can cause early termination
of the VDDQ pulse width when VIN is slightly lower than
5V.

VDDQ
When used as a dual converter (as in Figure 5), out-ofphase operation with 180 degree phase shift reduces
input current ripple.
VTT
For the “2-step” conversion (where the VTT is converted
from VDDQ as in Figure 4) used in DDR mode, the duty
cycle of the second converter is nominally 50% and the
optimal phasing depends on VIN. The objective is to
keep noise generated from the switching transition in one
converter from influencing the “decision” to switch in the
other converter.
Figure 8. Noise-Susceptible In-Phase Operation
for DDR2
These problems are nicely solved by delaying the 2nd
converter's clock by 90° as shown in Figure 9. In this
way, all switching transitions in one converter take place
far away from the decision points of the other converter.
When VIN is from the battery, it’s typically higher than
7.5V. As shown in Figure 6, 180° operation is undesirable since the turn-on of the VDDQ converter occurs
very near the decision point of the VTT converter.

FAN5026 Dual DDR/Dual-Output PWM Controller
Circuit Description
The following discussion refers to Figure 10.
The current through RSENSE resistor (ISNS) is sampled
shortly after Q2 is turned on. That current is held, and
summed with the output of the error amplifier. This effectively creates a current mode control loop. The resistor
connected to ISNSx pin (RSENSE) sets the gain in the
current feedback loop. For stable operation, the voltage
induced by the current feedback at the PWM comparator
input should be set to 30% of the ramp amplitude at
maximum load current and line voltage. The following
expression estimates the recommended value of RSENSE
as a function of the maximum load current (ILOAD(MAX))
and the value of the MOSFET’s RDS(ON):

Initialization and Soft Start
Assuming EN is high, FAN5026 is initialized when VCC
exceeds the rising UVLO threshold. Should VCC drop
below the UVLO threshold, an internal Power-On Reset
function disables the chip.

R SENSE = ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- – 100
30% • 0.125 • V IN ( MAX )
The voltage at the positive input of the error amplifier is
limited by the voltage at the SS pin which is charged with
a 5µA current source. Once CSS has charged to VREF
(0.9V) the output voltage will be in regulation. The time it
takes SS to reach 0.9V is:
RSENSE must, however, be kept higher than:

where T0.9 is in seconds if CSS is in µF.
When SS reaches 1.5V, the Power Good outputs are
enabled and hysteretic mode is allowed. The converter is
forced into PWM mode during soft start.

ILIM pin. The threshold is determined at the point when

The adaptive gate control logic translates the internal
PWM control signal into the MOSFET gate drive signals
providing necessary amplification, level shifting and
shoot-through protection. Also, it has functions that help
optimize the IC performance over a wide range of operating conditions. Since MOSFET switching time can vary
dramatically from type to type and with the input voltage,
the gate control logic provides adaptive dead time by
monitoring the gate-to-source voltages of both upper and
lower MOSFETs. The lower MOSFET drive is not turned
on until the gate-to-source voltage of the upper MOSFET
has decreased to less than approximately 1 volt. Similarly, the upper MOSFET is not turned on until the gateto-source voltage of the lower MOSFET has decreased
to less than approximately 1 volt. This allows a wide variety of upper and lower MOSFETs to be used without a
concern for simultaneous conduction, or shoot-through.

(3b)
Since the tolerance on the current limit is largely dependent on the ratio of the external resistors, it is fairly accurate if the voltage drop on the Switching Node side of
RSENSE is an accurate representation of the load current.
When using the MOSFET as the sensing element, the
variation of RDS(ON) causes proportional variation in the
ISNS. This value not only varies from device to device,
but also has a typical junction temperature coefficient of
about 0.4%/°C (consult the MOSFET datasheet for
actual values), so the actual current limit set point will
decrease proportional to increasing MOSFET die temperature. A factor of 1.6 in the current limit setpoint
should compensate for all MOSFET RDS(ON) variations,
assuming the MOSFET’s heat sinking will keep its operating die temperature below 125°C.
There must be a low-resistance, low-inductance path
between the driver pin and the MOSFET gate for the
adaptive dead-time circuit to work properly. Any delay
along that path will subtract from the delay generated by
the adaptive dead-time circuit and shoot-through may
occur.
Frequency Loop Compensation
Due to the implemented current mode control, the modulator has a single pole response with -1 slope at frequency determined by load

F PO = -----------------------2πR O C O
where RO is load resistance and CO is load capacitance.
For this type of modulator, Type 2 compensation circuit is
usually sufficient. To reduce the number of external components and simplify the design task, the PWM controller
has an internally compensated error amplifier. Figure 12
shows a Type 2 amplifier and its response along with the
responses of a current mode modulator and of the converter. The Type 2 amplifier, in addition to the pole at the
origin, has a zero-pole pair that causes a flat gain region
at frequencies between the zero and the pole.

More accurate sensing can be achieved by using a resistor (R1) instead of the RDS(ON) of the FET as shown in
Figure 11. This approach causes higher losses, but
yields greater accuracy in both VDROOP and ILIMIT. R1 is
a low value (e.g. 10mΩ) resistor.

This region is also associated with phase ‘bump’ or
reduced phase shift. The amount of phase shift reduction
depends the width of the region of flat gain and has a
maximum value of 90 degrees. To further simplify the
converter compensation, the modulator gain is kept independent of the input voltage variation by providing feedforward of VIN to the oscillator ramp.
Current limit (ILIMIT) should be set sufficiently high as to
allow inductor current to rise in response to an output
load transient. Typically, a factor of 1.3 is sufficient. In
addition, since ILIMIT is a peak current cut-off value, we
will need to multiply ILOAD(MAX) by the inductor ripple current (we'll use 25%). For example, in Figure 5 the target
for ILIMIT would be:
ILIMIT > 1.2 × 1.25 × 1.6 × 6A ≈ 14A

Over-Current Sensing
If the circuit’s current limit signal (“ILIM det” as shown in
Figure 10) is high at the beginning of a clock cycle, a
pulse-skipping circuit is activated and HDRV is inhibited.
The circuit continues to pulse skip in this manner for the
next 8 clock cycles. If at any time from the 9th to the 16th
clock cycle, the “ILIM det” is again reached, the overcurrent protection latch is set, disabling the chip. If “ILIM
det” does not occur between cycle 9 and 16, normal operation is restored and the over-current circuit resets itself.
Figure 12. Compensation
The zero frequency, the amplifier high frequency gain
and the modulator gain are chosen to satisfy most typical
applications. The crossover frequency will appear at the
point where the modulator attenuation equals the amplifier high frequency gain. The only task that the system
designer has to complete is to specify the output filter
capacitors to position the load main pole somewhere
within one decade lower than the amplifier zero frequency. With this type of compensation plenty of phase
margin is easily achieved due to zero-pole pair phase
‘boost’.
PGOOD

Conditional stability may occur only when the main load
pole is positioned too much to the left side on the frequency axis due to excessive output filter capacitance. In
this case, the ESR zero placed within the 10kHz...50kHz
range gives some additional phase ‘boost’. Fortunately,
there is an opposite trend in mobile applications to keep
the output capacitor as small as possible.

If a larger inductor value or low ESR values are called for

Should the VSNS voltage exceed 120% of VREF (0.9V)
due to an upper MOSFET failure, or for other reasons,
the overvoltage protection comparator will force LDRV
high. This action actively pulls down the output voltage
and, in the event of the upper MOSFET failure, will eventually blow the battery fuse. As soon as the output voltage drops below the threshold, the OVP comparator is
disengaged.

The chip incorporates an over temperature protection

Design and Component Selection
Guidelines
Output Capacitor Selection
As an initial step, define operating input voltage range,
output voltage, minimum and maximum load currents for
the controller.
The output capacitor serves two major functions in a
switching power supply. Along with the inductor it filters
the sequence of pulses produced by the switcher, and it
supplies the load transient currents. The output capacitor
requirements are usually dictated by ESR, Inductor ripple current (∆I) and the allowable ripple voltage (∆V).
Setting the Output Voltage
The internal reference is 0.9V. The output is divided
down by a voltage divider to the VSEN pin (for example,
R5 and R6 in Figure 4). The output voltage therefore is:
V OUT – 0.9V
0.9V
------------ = -------------------------------R6
R5
(10)
∆V
ESR < -------∆I
(8a)
(11)
To minimize noise pickup on this node, keep the resistor
to GND (R6) below 2K. We selected R6 at 1.82K. Then
choose R5:
In addition, the capacitor’s ESR must be low enough to
allow the converter to stay in regulation during a load
step. The ripple voltage due to ESR for the converter in
Figure 5 is 120mV P-P. Some additional ripple will
appear due to the capacitance value itself:
( 1.82K ) × ( V OUT – 0.9 )
- = 3.24K
R5 = -----------------------------------------------------------0.9
∆I
∆V = -----------------------------------------C OUT × 8 × F SW
(8b)
(12)
For DDR applications converting from 3.3V to 2.5V, or
other applications requiring high duty cycles, the duty
cycle clamp must be disabled by tying the converter’s
FPWM to GND. When converter’s FPWM is GND, the
converter's maximum duty cycle will be greater than
90%. When using as a DDR converter with 3.3V input,
set up the converter for In-Phase synchronization by
tying the VIN pin to +5V.
which is only about 1.5mV for the converter in Figure 5
and can be ignored.
Output Inductor Selection
Input Capacitor Selection
The minimum practical output inductor value is the one
that keeps inductor current just on the boundary of continuous conduction at some minimum load. The industry
standard practice is to choose the minimum current
somewhere from 15% to 35% of the nominal current. At
light load, the controller can automatically switch to hysteretic mode of operation to sustain high efficiency. The
following equations help to choose the proper value of
the output filter inductor.
The input capacitor should be selected by its ripple current rating.
∆V OUT
∆I = 2 × I MIN = -----------------ESR
I VTT
I REG1 = I VDDQ + ---------2
The capacitor must also be rated to withstand the RMS
current which is approximately 0.3 X (∆I), or about
400mA for the converter in Figure 5. High frequency
decoupling capacitors should be placed as close to the
loads as physically possible.
Two-Stage Converter Case
In DDR mode (Figure 4), the VTT power input is powered
by the VDDQ output, therefore all of the input capacitor
ripple current is produced by the VDDQ converter. A conservative estimate of the output current required for the
2.5V regulator is:
(9)
13
FAN5026 Rev. 1.0.5

FAN5026 Dual DDR/Dual-Output PWM Controller
where ∆I is the inductor ripple current and ∆VOUT is the
maximum ripple allowed.
Similarly, if an output short-circuit or severe load transient causes the output to droop to less than 75% of its
regulation set point. Should this condition occur, the regulator will shut down.
I RMS = I OUT ( MAX ) D – D

Dual Converter 180° Phased
In Dual mode (Figure 5), both converters contribute to
the capacitor input ripple current. With each converter
operating 180° out of phase, the RMS currents add in the
following fashion:

I RMS ( 1 ) + I RMS ( 2 ) or
I RMS =
( I1 ) ( D1 – D1 ) + ( I2 ) ( D2 – D2 )

PUPPER is the upper MOSFET’s total losses, and PSW
and PCOND are the switching and conduction losses for a
given MOSFET. RDS(ON) is at the maximum junction temperature (TJ). tS is the switching period (rise or fall time)
and is t2+t3 Figure .

The driver’s impedance and CISS determine t2 while t3’s
period is controlled by the driver's impedance and QGD.
Since most of tS occurs when VGS = VSP we can use a
constant current assumption for the driver to simplify the
calculation of tS:
which for the dual 3A converters of Figure 5, calculates
to:
I RMS = 1.51A

Power MOSFET Selection

VDS
Losses in a MOSFET are the sum of its switching (PSW)
and conduction (PCOND) losses.
In typical applications, the FAN5026 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. Q2 should therefore be
selected to minimize conduction losses, thereby selecting a MOSFET with low RDS(ON).
ID
In contrast, the high-side MOSFET (Q1) has a much
shorter duty cycle, and it's 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.

A multi-layer printed circuit board is recommended.
Dedicate one solid layer for a ground plane. Dedicate
another solid layer as a power plane and break this plane
into smaller islands of common voltage levels.
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 it’s
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
FAN5026:
PGATE = QG × VCC × FSW
Notice all the nodes that are subjected to high dV/dt
voltage swing such as SW, HDRV and LDRV, for example.
All surrounding circuitry will tend to couple the signals
from these nodes through stray capacitance. Do not
oversize copper traces connected to these nodes. Do not
place traces connected to the feedback components
adjacent to these traces. It is not recommended to use
High Density Interconnect Systems, or micro-vias on
these signals. The use of High Density Interconnect
Systems or micro-vias on these signals is not
recommended. The use of normal thermal vias is left to
the discretion of the designer.
(19)
where QG is the total gate charge to reach VCC.
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.
Keep the wiring traces from the IC to the MOSFET gate
and source as short as possible and capable of handling
peak currents of 2A. Minimize the area within the gatesource path to reduce stray inductance and eliminate
parasitic ringing at the gate.
Conduction losses for Q2 are given by:

P COND = ( 1 – D ) × I OUT × R DS ( ON )
Locate small critical components like the soft-start
capacitor and current sense resistors as close as possible
to the respective pins of the IC.

The FAN5026 utilizes advanced packaging technologies
with lead pitches of 0.6mm. High performance analog
semiconductors utilizing narrow lead spacing may require
special considerations in PWB design and manufacturing.
It is critical to maintain proper cleanliness of the area
surrounding these devices. It is not recommended to use
any type of rosin or acid core solder, or the use of flux in
either the manufacturing or touch up process as these
may contribute to corrosion or enable electromigration
and/or eddy currents near the sensitive low current
signals. When chemicals such as these are used on or
near the PWB, it is suggested that the entire PWB be
cleaned and dried completely before applying power.

highest operating junction temperature and

is the minimum duty cycle for the converter.
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 low-side
MOSFET, the θJ-A, and the maximum allowable ambient
temperature rise:
