
Input Voltage Range: 2.35 V to 5.5 V
The FAN48630 allows systems to take advantage of new
battery chemistries that can supply significant energy when
the battery voltage is lower than the required voltage for
system power ICs. By combining built-in power transistors,
synchronous rectification, and low supply current; this IC
provides a compact solution for systems using advanced
Li-Ion battery chemistries.

Fixed Output Voltage Options: 3.0 V to 5.0 V
Maximum Continuous Load Current: 1500 mA
at VIN of 2.6 V Boosting VOUT to 3.5 V
The FAN48630 is a boost regulator designed to provide a
minimum output voltage (VOUT(MIN)) from a single-cell Li-Ion
battery, even when the battery voltage is below system
minimum. Output voltage regulation is guaranteed to a
maximum load current of 1500 mA. Quiescent current in
Shutdown Mode is less than 3 µA, which maximizes battery
life. The regulator transitions smoothly between Bypass and
normal Boost Mode. The device can be forced into Bypass
Mode to reduce quiescent current.

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

FAN48630 — 2.5MHz, 1500mA Synchronous TinyBoost™ Regulator with Bypass Mode
Typical Characteristics (Continued)
FAN48630 is a synchronous boost regulator, typically
operating at 2.5 MHz in Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM),
which occurs at moderate to heavy load current and low VIN
voltages. The regulator includes a Bypass Mode that activates
when VIN is above the boost regulator’s setpoint.
In LIN2 Mode, the current source is incremented to 2A. If VOUT
fails to reach VIN-300 mV after 1024 s, a fault condition is
declared.
SS State
Upon the successful completion of the LIN state (VOUT>VIN300 mV), the regulator begins switching with boost pulses
current limited to 50% of nominal level.
In anticipation of a heavy load transition, the setpoint can be
adjusted upward by fixed amounts with the VSEL pin to
reduce the required system headroom during lighter-load
operation to save power.
During SS state, VOUT is ramped up by stepping the internal
reference. If VOUT fails to reach regulation during the SS ramp
sequence for more than 64 µs, a fault condition is declared. If
large COUT is used, the reference is automatically stepped
slower to avoid excessive input current draw.

Boost Mode
FAST and SLOW Soft-Start Options
The FAN48630 uses a current-mode modulator to achieve
excellent transient response and smooth transitions between
CCM and Discontinuous Conduction Mode (DCM) operation.
During CCM operation, the device maintains a switching
frequency of about 2.5 Mhz. In light-load operation (DCM),
frequency is reduced to maintain high efficiency.
FAN48630UC315X, FAN48630UC33X, FAN48630UC35X,
and FAN48630UC37AX feature fast startup with EN to
regulation time of 500 µs. LIN1 and LIN2 phase currents are
doubled compared to SLOW options, SS phase is also faster.

FAN48630UC45X and FAN48630UC50XS feature low startup
with EN to regulation time of 1300 s to reduce inrush current.

SS state to BST state.
1024


Boost current limit triggers for 2 ms during the BST state.
VDS protection threshold is exceeded during BPS state.
Once a fault is triggered, the regulator stops switching and
presents a high-impedance path between VIN and VOUT. After
waiting 20 ms, a restart is attempted.

Power Good
Shutdown and Startup
Power good is 0 FAULT, 1 POWER GOOD, open-drain input.
The Power good pin is provided for signaling the system when
the regulator has successfully completed soft-start and no
faults have occurred. Power good also functions as an early
warning flag for high die temperature and overload conditions.
If EN is LOW, all bias circuits are off and the regulator is in
Shutdown Mode. During shutdown, current flow is prevented
from VIN to VOUT, as well as reverse flow from VOUT to VIN.
During startup, it is recommended to keep DC current draw
below 500 mA.

PG is released HIGH when the soft-start sequence is
successfully completed.
When EN is HIGH and VIN > UVLO, the regulator attempts to
bring VOUT within 300 mV of VIN using the internal fixed current
source from VIN (Q3). The current is limited to LIN1 set point.

PG is pulled LOW when PMOS current limit has triggered
for 64 µs OR the die the temperature exceeds 120°C. PG
is re-asserted when the device cools below to 100°C.
If VOUT reaches VIN-300 mV during LIN1 Mode, the SS state is
initiated. Otherwise, LIN1 times out after 512 s and LIN2
Mode is entered.

Any FAULT condition causes PG to be de-asserted.

FAN48630 — 2.5MHz, 1500mA Synchronous TinyBoost™ Regulator with Bypass Mode
Circuit Description
The regulator shuts down when the die temperature exceeds
150°C. Restart occurs when the IC has cooled by
approximately 20°C.
Bypass Operation
OCP in Forced Bypass Mode is available for
FAN48630UC45X and FAN48630UC50X. During Forced
Bypass Mode, the device is short-circuit protected by a
voltage comparator tracking the voltage drop from VIN to
VOUT. If the drop exceeds 200 mV, a FAULT is declared. The
over-temperature protection is also active.
In normal operation, the device automatically transitions from
Boost Mode to Bypass Mode, if VIN goes above target VOUT. In
Bypass Mode, the device fully enhances both Q1 and Q3 to
provide a very low impedance path from VIN to VOUT. Entry
to the Bypass Mode is triggered by condition where VIN > VOUT
and no switching has occurred during past 5 µs. To soften the
entry to Bypass Mode, Q3 is driven as a linear current source
for the first 5 µs. Bypass Mode exit is triggered when VOUT
reaches the target VOUT voltage. During Automatic Bypass
Mode, the device is short-circuit protected by voltage
comparator tracking the voltage drop from VIN to VOUT; if the
drop exceeds 200 mV, FAULT is declared.
In Forced Bypass Mode, VOUT can follow VIN below VOUT(MIN).
VSEL
VSEL can be asserted in anticipation of a positive load
transient. Raising VSEL increases VOUT(MIN) by a fixed amount
and VOUT is stepped to the corresponding target output voltage
in 20 µs. The functionality can also be utilized to mitigate
undershoot during severe line transients, while minimizing
VOUT during more benign operating conditions to save power.
Forced Bypass
Entry to Forced Bypass Mode initiates with a current limit on
Q3 and then proceeds to a true bypass state. To prevent
reverse current to the battery, the device waits until output
discharges below VIN before entering Forced Bypass Mode.

As can be seen from EQ. 3, the maximum VRIPPLE occurs
when VIN is minimum and ILOAD is maximum.
Inductor selection
Recommended nominal inductance value is 0.47 H.
Layout Recommendations
FAN48630 employs valley-current limiting; peak inductor
current can reach 3.8 A for a short duration during overload
conditions. Saturation effects cause the inductor current ripple
to become higher under high loading as only valley of the
inductor current ripple is controlled.
The layout recommendations below highlight various topcopper pours using different colors.
To minimize spikes at VOUT, COUT must be placed as close as
possible to PGND and VOUT, as shown in Figure 29.
For FAN48630UC315X and FAN48630UC33X, a 0.33 H
inductor can be used for improved transient performance.
For thermal reasons, it is suggested to maximize the pour
area for all planes other than SW. Especially the ground pour
should be set to fill all available PCB surface area and tied to
internal layers with a cluster of thermal vias.
Startup
Input current limiting is in effect during soft-start, which limits
the current available to charge COUT and any additional
capacitance on the VOUT line. If the output fails to achieve
regulation within the limits described in the Startup section, a
FAULT occurs, causing the circuit to shut down then restart
after a significant time period. If the total combined output
capacitance is very high, 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 attempts soft-start, only to have
the output capacitance discharged by the load when in a
FAULT state.

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