The PWM controller is designed to operate over a wide frequency range (50kHz to 600kHz) to accommodate a variety of applications. Synchronous rectification provides high efficiency over a wide range of load currents. Efficiency is further enhanced by using the low-side MOSFET’s RDS(ON) to sense current. In addition, the capability to operate at low switching frequencies provides opportunities to boost power supply efficiency by reducing switching losses and gain cost savings using low-cost materials, such as powdered iron cores, on the output inductor. Both the linear and PWM regulator soft-start are controlled by a single external capacitor, to limit in rush current from the supply when the regulators are first enabled. Current limit for PWM is also programmable. The FAN5099’s ability to handle wide input voltage ranges makes this controller suitable for power solutions in a wide range of applications involving conversion input voltages from Silver box, battery, and adapters. The PWM regulator employs a summing-current-mode control with extern...
