Detailed Operation Description
The FAN5307 is a step-down converter operating in a
current-mode PFM/PWM architecture with a typical
switching frequency of 1MHz. At moderate to heavy
loads, the converter operates in pulse-width-modulation
(PWM) mode. At light loads the converter enters a
power-save mode (PFM pulse skipping) to keep the effi-
ciency high.
PWM Mode
In PWM mode, the device operates at a fixed frequency
of 1MHz. At the beginning of each clock cycle, the
P-channel transistor is turned on. The inductor current
ramps up and is monitored via an internal circuit. The
P-channel switch is turned off when the sensed current
causes the PWM comparator to trip when the output volt-
age is in regulation or when the inductor current reaches
the current limit (set internally to typically 520mA). After
a minimum dead time the N-channel transistor is turned
on and the inductor current ramps down. As the clock
cycle is completed, the N-channel switch is turned off
and the next clock cycle starts.
PFM (Power Save) Mode
As the load current decreases and the peak inductor cur-
rent no longer reaches the typical threshold of 80mA, the
converter enters pulse-frequency-modulation (PFM)
mode. In PFM mode the device operates with a variable
frequency and constant peak current thus reducing the
quiescent current to minimum. Consequently, the high
efficiency is maintained at light loads. As soon as the
output voltage falls below a threshold, set at 0.8% above
the nominal value, the P-channel transistor is turned on
and the inductor current ramps up. The P-channel switch
turns off and the N-channel turns on as the peak induc-
tor current is reached (typical 140mA).
The N-channel transistor is turned off before the inductor
current becomes negative. At this time the P-channel is
switched on again starting the next pulse. The converter
continues these pulses until the high threshold (typical
1.6% above nominal value) is reached. A higher output
voltage in PFM mode gives additional headroom for the
voltage drop during a load transient from light to full load.
The voltage overshoot during this load transient is also
minimized due to active regulation during turning on the
