Features  
General Description  
• Pin and Function Backward Compatible with FAN53168  
and FAN53180 Controllers  
The FAN5019 is a multi-phase DC-DC controller for imple-  
menting high-current, low-voltage, CPU core power regula-  
tion circuits. It is part of a chipset that includes external  
MOSFET drivers and power MOSFETS. The FAN5019  
drives up to four synchronous-rectified buck channels in par-  
allel. The multi-phase buck converter architecture uses inter-  
leaved switching to multiply ripple frequency by the number  
of phases and reduce input and output ripple currents. Lower  
ripple results in fewer components, lower component cost,  
reduced power dissipation, and smaller board area.  
• Precision Multi-Phase DC-DC Core Voltage Regulation  
– ±10mV Output Voltage Accuracy Over Temperature  
• Differential Remote Voltage Sensing  
• Selectable 2, 3, or 4 Phase Operation  
• Selectable VRM9 or VRM10 Operation  
• Up to 1MHz per Phase Operation (4MHz ripple  
Frequency)  
• Lossless Inductor Current Sensing for Loadline  
Compensation  
– External Temperature Compensation  
• Accurate Load-Line Programming (Meets Intel®  
VRM/VRD10.0 and 10.X CPU Specifications)  
• Accurate Channel-Current Balancing for Thermal  
Optimization and Layout Compensation  
• Convenient 12V Supply Biasing  
The FAN5019 features a high bandwidth control loop to  
provide optimal response to load transients. The FAN5019  
senses current using lossless techniques: Phase current is  
measured through each of the output inductors. This current  
information is summed, averaged and used to set the loadline  
of the output via programmable "droop". The droop is tem-  
perature compensated to achieve precise loadline character-  
istics over the entire operating range. Additionally,  
• 6-bit Voltage Identification (VID) Input  
– .8375V to 1.600V in 12.5mV Steps  
– Dynamic VID Capability with Fault-Blanking for  
glitch-less Output voltage Changes  
• Adjustable Over Current Protection with Programmable  
Latch-Off Delay. Latch-Off Function may be Disabled  
• Over-Voltage Protection – Internal OVP Crowbar  
Protection  
individual phase current is measured using the RDS(ON) of  
the low-side MOSFETs. This information is used to dynam-  
ically balance/steer per-phase current. The phase currents  
are also summed and averaged for over-current detection.  
Dynamic-VID technology allows on-the-fly VID changes  
with controlled, glitch-less output. Additionally, short-circuit  
protection, adjustable current limiting, over-voltage protec-  
tion and power-good circuitry combine to ensure reliable and  
safe operation. The operating temperature range is 0°C to  
+85°C and the operating voltage is a single +12V supply,  
which simplifies the design. The FAN5019 is available in a  
TSSOP-28 package.

1–5  
VID [4:0]  
VID inputs. Determines the output voltage via the internal DAC. These inputs  
comply to VRM10/VRD10 specifications for static and dynamic operation. All have  
internal pull-ups (1.25V for VRM10 and 2.5V for VRM9) so leaving them open  
results in logic high. Leaving VID[4:0] open results in a "No CPU" condition  
disabling the PWM outputs.  
6
VID5/SEL  
VID5 Input/DAC Select. Dual function pin that is either the 12.5mV DAC LSB for  
VRM10 or selects the VRM9 DAC codes when forced higher than Vtblsel(VRM9)  
voltage. The truth table is as follows:  
VVID5/SEL held > Vtblsel(VRM9); VRM9 DAC table is selected (See Table 3)  
VViD5/SEL < Vtblsel(VRM10); VRM10 DAC table is selected (See Table 2) and  
V
ViD5/SEL pin is used as VID5 input.

COMP  
Error Amp output. This pin is used for external compensation.  
10  
PWRGD  
Power Good output. This is an open-drain output that asserts when the output  
voltage is within the specified tolerance. It is expected to be pulled up to an external  
voltage rail.  
11  
12  
EN  
Enable. Logic signal that enables the controller when logic high.  
DELAY  
Soft-start and Current Limit Delay. An external resistor and capacitor sets the  
softstart ramp rate and the over-current latch off delay.  
13  
14  
15  
RT  
Switching Frequency Adjust. This pin adjusts the output PWM switching  
frequency via an external resistor.  
RAMPADJ PWM Current Ramp Adjust. An external resistor to Vcc will adjust the amplitude of  
the internal PWM ramp.  
ILIMIT  
Current Limit Adjust. An external resistor sets the current limit threshold for the  
regulator circuit. This pin is internally pulled low when EN is low or the UVLO circuit  
is active. It is also used to enable the drivers.

PRODUCT SPECIFICATION  
FAN5019  
General Description  
Note: The information in this section is intended to assist the  
user in their design and understanding of the FAN5019  
functionality. For clarity and ease of understanding, device  
parameters have been included in the text. In the event of  
discrepancies between values stated in this section and the  
actual specification tables, the specification tables shall be  
deemed correct.  
normal operation. After this time, if the PWM output was not  
grounded, then it will operate normally. If the PWM output  
was grounded, then it will remain off.  
The PWM outputs become logic-level output devices once  
normal operation starts, and are intended for driving external  
gate drivers. Since each phase is monitored independently,  
operation approaching 100% duty cycle is possible. Also,  
more than one output can be on at a time for overlapping  
phases.  
Theory of Operation  
The FAN5019 combines a multi-mode, fixed frequency  
PWM control with multi-phase logic outputs for use in  
2, 3 and 4 phase synchronous buck CPU core supply power  
converters. If VID5 is pulled up to a voltage greater than  
VTBLSEL, then the DAC code corresponds to VRM9.  
Master Clock Frequency  
The clock frequency of the FAN5019 is set with an external  
resistor connected from the RT pin to ground. The frequency  
follows the graph shown in TPC 1. To determine the fre-  
quency per phase, the clock is divided by the number of  
phases in use. If PWM4 is grounded, then divide the master  
clock by 3 and if both PWM3 and 4 are grounded, then  
divide by 2. If all phases are in use, divide by 4.  
Multi-phase operation is important for producing the high  
currents and low voltages demanded by today’s microproces-  
sors. Handling the high currents in a single-phase converter  
would place high thermal demands on the components in the  
system such as the inductors and MOSFETs. The internal  
6-bit VID DAC conforms to Intel’s VRD/VRM 10  
specifications.  
Output Voltage Differential Sensing  
The FAN5019 combines differential sensing with a high  
accuracy VID DAC and reference and a low offset error  
amplifier to maintain a worst-case specification of ±10 mV  
differential sensing error with a VID input of 1.600 V over its  
full operating output voltage and temperature range. The  
output voltage is sensed between the FB and FBRTN pins.  
FB should be connected through a resistor to the regulation  
point, usually the remote sense pin of the microprocessor.  
FBRTN should be connected directly to the remote sense  
ground point. The internal VID DAC and precision reference  
are referenced to FBRTN, which has a typical current of  
150µA, to allow accurate remote sensing. The internal error  
amplifier compares the output of the DAC to the FB pin to  
regulate the output voltage.  
The multi-mode control of the FAN5019 ensures a stable,  
high performance topology for:  
• Balancing currents and thermals between phases  
• High speed response at the lowest possible switching  
frequency and output decoupling  
• Minimizing thermal switching losses due to lower  
frequency operation  
• Tight load line regulation and accuracy  
• High current output from having up to 4 phase operation  
• Reduced output ripple due to multi-phase cancellation  
• PC board layout noise immunity  
• Ease of use and design due to independent component  
selection  
• Flexibility in operation for tailoring design to low cost or  
high performance  
Output Current Sensing  
The FAN5019 provides a dedicated current sense amplifier  
(CSA) to monitor the total output current for proper voltage  
positioning versus load current and for current limit detec-  
tion. Sensing the load current at the output gives the total  
average current being delivered to the load, which is an  
inherently more accurate method than peak current detection  
or sampling the current across a sense element such as the  
low side MOSFET. This amplifier can be configured several  
ways depending on the objectives of the system:  
Number of Phases  
The number of operational phases and their phase relation-  
ship is determined by internal circuitry which monitors the  
PWM outputs. Normally, the FAN5019 operates as a 4-phase  
PWM controller. Grounding the PWM4 pin programs three  
phase operation; grounding the PWM3 and PWM4 pins  
programs 2-phase operation.  
• Output inductor DCR sensing without thermistor for  
lowest cost  
• Output inductor DCR sensing with thermistor for  
improved accuracy with tracking of inductor temperature  
• Sense resistors for highest accuracy measurements  
When the FAN5019 is initially enabled, the controller out-  
puts a voltage on PWM3 and PWM4 that is approximately  
550 mV. An internal comparator checks each pin’s voltage  
versus a threshold of 400mV. If the pin is grounded, then it  
will be below the threshold and the phase will be disabled.  
The output impedance of the PWM pin is approximately  
5k. Any external pull-down resistance connected to the  
PWM pin should not be less than 25kto ensure proper  
operation. The phase detection is made prior to starting  
The positive input of the CSA is connected to the CSREF  
pin, which is connected to the output voltage. The inputs to  
the amplifier are summed together through resistors from the  
sensing element (such as the switch node side of the output

inductors) to the inverting input, CSSUM. The feedback  
resistor between CSCOMP and CSSUM sets the gain of the  
amplifier, and a filter capacitor is placed in parallel with this  
resistor. The gain of the amplifier is programmable by adjust-  
ing the feedback resistor to set the load line required by the  
microprocessor. The current information is then given as the  
difference of CSREF –CSCOMP. This difference signal is  
used internally to offset the VID DAC for voltage positioning  
and as a differential input for the current limit comparator.  
will make a substantial increase in phase current. Increase  
each RSW value by small amounts to achieve balance,  
starting with the coolest phase first.  
Voltage Control Mode  
A high gain-bandwidth voltage mode error amplifier is used  
for the voltage-mode control loop. The control input voltage  
to the positive input is set via the VID 6-bit logic code  
according to the voltages listed in Table 1. This voltage is  
also offset by the droop voltage for active positioning of the  
output voltage as a function of current, commonly known as  
active voltage positioning. The output of the amplifier is the  
COMP pin, which sets the termination voltage for the inter-  
nal PWM ramps.  
To provide the best accuracy for the sensing of current, the  
CSA has been designed to have a low offset input voltage.  
Also, the sensing gain is determined by external resistors so  
that it can be made extremely accurate and flexible.  
Active Impedance Control Mode  
The negative input (FB) is tied to the output sense location  
with a resistor RB and is used for sensing and controlling the  
output voltage at this point. A current source from the FB pin  
flowing through RB is used for setting the no-load offset  
voltage from the VID voltage. The no-load voltage will be  
negative with respect to the VID DAC. The main loop com-  
pensation is incorporated in the feedback network between  
FB and COMP.  
For controlling the output voltage droop as a function of  
output current, a voltage signal proportional to the total  
inductor currents is created by the current sense amplifier  
(CSA). The ratio of this voltage to the output current is  
determined by external components to allow it to be adjusted  
to set the required load line. Inside the chip the CSA output  
voltage is subtracted from the DAC voltage which then is  
used for the reference to the error amplifier. As the output  
current increases the reference to the error amp decreases  
causing the output voltage to decrease accordingly.  
Soft-Start  
The power-on ramp up time of the output voltage is set with  
a capacitor and resistor in parallel from the DELAY pin to  
ground. The RC time constant also determines the current  
limit latch off time as explained in the following section. In  
UVLO or when EN is a logic low, the DELAY pin is held at  
ground. After the UVLO threshold is reached and EN is a  
logic high, the DELAY cap is charged up with an internal  
20µA current source. The output voltage follows the ramp-  
ing voltage on the DELAY pin, limiting the inrush current.  
The soft-start time depends on the value of VID DAC and  
Current Control Mode and Thermal Balance  
The FAN5019 has individual inputs for each phase which are  
used for monitoring the current in each phase. This informa-  
tion is combined with an internal ramp to create a current  
balancing feedback system that has been optimized for initial  
current balance accuracy and dynamic thermal balancing  
during operation. This current balance information is inde-  
pendent of the average output current information used for  
positioning described previously.  
C
DLY, with a secondary effect from RDLY. Refer to the appli-  
cations section for detailed information on setting CDLY  
.
The magnitude of the internal ramp can be set to optimize  
the transient response of the system. It also monitors the sup-  
ply voltage for feed-forward control for changes in the sup-  
ply. A resistor connected from the power input voltage to the  
RAMPADJ pin determines the slope of the internal PWM  
ramp. Detailed information about programming the ramp is  
given in the applications section.  
If EN is taken low or VCC drops below UVLO, the DELAY  
cap is reset to ground to be ready for another soft start cycle.  
Figure 1 shows a typical start-up sequence for the FAN5019.  
Over Current Limit and Latch-off Protection  
The FAN5019 compares a programmable current limit set  
point to the voltage from the output of the current sense  
amplifier. The level of current limit is set with the resistor  
from the ILIMIT pin to ground. During normal operation,  
the voltage on ILIMIT is 3V. The current through the exter-  
nal resistor is internally scaled to give a current limit thresh-  
old of approximately 10.4mV/µA. If the difference in  
voltage between CSREF and CSCOMP rises above the cur-  
rent limit threshold, the internal current limit amplifier will  
control the internal COMP voltage to maintain the average  
output current at the limit.  
External resistors can be placed in series with individual  
phases to create an intentional current imbalance if desired,  
such as when one phase may have better cooling and can  
support higher currents. Resistors RSW1 through RSW4  
(see the typical application circuit in Figure 4) can be used  
for adjusting FET thermal and current balance. Zero ohm  
placeholder resistors should be provided in the initial layout  
to allow the phase balance to be adjusted during design fine  
tuning.  
To increase the current in any given phase, make RSW for  
that phase larger (make RSW = 0 for the hottest phase and do  
not change during balancing). Increasing RSW to only 500Ω

After the limit is reached, the 3V pull-up on the DELAY pin  
is disconnected, and the external delay capacitor is dis-  
charged through the external resistor. A comparator monitors  
the DELAY voltage and shuts off the controller when the  
voltage drops below 1.8V. The current limit latch off delay  
time is therefore set by the RC time constant discharging  
from 3V to 1.8V. The application section discusses the  
Dynamic VID  
The FAN5019 incorporates the ability to dynamically  
change the VID input while the controller is running. This  
allows the output voltage to change while the supply is run-  
ning and supplying current to the load. This is commonly  
referred to as VID-on-the-fly (OTF). A VID-OTF can occur  
under either light load or heavy load conditions. The proces-  
sor signals the controller by changing the VID inputs in mul-  
tiple steps from the start code to the finish code. This change  
can be either positive or negative.  
selection of CDLY and RDLY  
.
Because the controller continues to cycle the phases during  
the latch-off delay time, if the short is removed before the  
1.8V threshold is reached, the controller will return to nor-  
mal operation. The recovery characteristic depends on the  
state of PWRGD. If the output voltage is within the PWRGD  
window, the controller resumes normal operation. However,  
if short circuit has caused the output voltage to drop below  
the PWRGD threshold, then a soft-start cycle is initiated.  
When a VID input changes state, the FAN5019 detects the  
change and ignores the DAC inputs for a minimum of 400ns.  
This time is to prevent a false code due to logic skew while  
the six VID inputs are changing. Additionally, the first VID  
change initiates the PWRGD and CROWBAR blanking  
functions for a minimum of 250µs to prevent a false  
PWRGD or CROWBAR event. Each VID change will reset  
the internal timer. Figure 4 shows the VID on-the-fly perfor-  
mance when the output voltage is stepping up and the output  
current is switching between minimum and maximum values  
which is the worst-case situation.  
The latch-off function can be reset by either cycling VCC to  
the FAN5019, or by cycling the Enable pin low for a short  
time. To disable the short circuit latch off function, the  
external resistor to ground should be left open, and a 1MΩ  
resistor should be connected from VCC to the DELAY pin.  
This prevents the DELAY capacitor from discharging, so the  
1.8V threshold is never reached. The resistor will have an  
impact on the soft-start time because the current through it  
will add to the internal 20µA current source.  
During start-up when the output voltage is below 200mV, a  
secondary current limit is active. This is necessary because  
the voltage swing of CSCOMP cannot go below ground.  
This secondary current limit controls the internal COMP  
voltage to the PWM comparators to 2V. This will limit the

current balance circuitry.  
There is also an inherent per phase current limit that will pro-  
tect individual phases in the case where one or more phases  
may stop functioning because of a faulty component. This  
limit is based on the maximum normal-mode COMP voltage.

Power Good Monitoring  
Application Information  
The design parameters for a typical Intel VRD10.x  
compliant CPU application are as follows:  
The Power Good comparator monitors the output voltage via  
the CSREF pin. The PWRGD pin is an open drain output  
whose high level (when connected to a pull-up resistor) indi-  
cates that the output voltage is within the nominal limits  
specified in the specifications table based on the VID volt-  
age setting. PWRGD will go low if the output voltage is out-  
side of this specified range. PWRGD is blanked during a  
VID OTF event for a period of 250µs to prevent false signals  
during the time the output is changing.  
• Input voltage (VIN) = 12V  
• VID setting voltage (VVID) = 1.500V  
• Duty cycle (D) = 0.125  
• Nominal output voltage at no load (VONL) = 1.480V  
• Nominal output voltage at 65 A load (VOFL) = 1.3955V  
• Static output voltage drop based on a 1.3 mload line  
(RO) from no load to full load  
• (VD) = VONL – VOFL = 1.480V – 1.3955V = 84.5mV  
• Maximum Output Current (IO) = 65A  
• Maximum Output Current Step (IO) = 60A  
• Number of Phases (n) = 3  
Output Crowbar  
As part of the protection for the load and output components  
of the supply, the PWM outputs will be driven low (turning  
on the low-side MOSFETs) when the output voltage exceeds  
the upper Power Good threshold. This crowbar action will  
stop once the output voltage has fallen below the release  
threshold of approximately 550mV.  
• Switching frequency per phase (fSW) = 228 kHz  
Setting the Clock Frequency  
The FAN5019 uses a fixed-frequency control architecture  
with the frequency being set by an external timing resistor  
(RT). The clock frequency and the number of phases deter-  
mine the switching frequency per phase, which relates  
directly to switching losses and the sizes of the inductors and  
input and output capacitors. With n = 3 for three phases, a  
clock frequency of 684kHz sets the switching frequency of  
each phase, fSW, to 228kHz, which represents a practical  
trade-off between the switching losses and the sizes of the  
output filter components. TPC 1 shows that to achieve a  
684kHz oscillator frequency, the correct value for RT is  
301k. Alternatively, the value for RT can be calculated  
using:  
Turning on the low-side MOSFETs pulls down the output  
voltage as the reverse current builds up in the inductors.  
If the output overvoltage is due to a short of the high side  
MOSFET, this action will current limit the input supply  
or blow its fuse, protecting the microprocessor from  
destruction.  
Output Enable and UVLO  
The input supply (VCC) to the controller must be higher than  
the UVLO threshold and the EN pin must be higher then its  
logic threshold for the FAN5019 to begin switching. If  
UVLO is less than the threshold or the EN pin is a logic low,  
the FAN5019 is disabled. This holds the PWM outputs at  
ground, shorts the DELAY capacitor to ground, and holds  
the ILIMIT pin at ground.

(1)  
RT =  
(
n × fSW × 5pF 110nS  
)
In the application circuit, the ILIMIT pin should be con-  
nected to the output disable pins of the FAN5009 drivers.  
Because ILIMIT is grounded, this disables the drivers such  
that both DRVH and DRVL are grounded. This feature is  
important to prevent discharging of the output capacitors  
when the controller is shut off. If the driver outputs were not  
disabled, then a negative voltage could be generated on the  
output due to the high current discharge of the output  
capacitors through the inductors.  
where 5.0pF and 110nS are internal IC component values.  
For good initial accuracy and frequency stability, it is recom-  
mended to use a 1% resistor.  
Soft-Start and Current Limit Latch-Off Delay  
Times  
Because the soft-start and current limit latch off delay  
functions share the DELAY pin, these two parameters must  
be considered together. The first step is to set CDLY for the  
soft-start ramp. This ramp is generated with a 20µA internal  
current source. The value of RDLY will have a second order  
impact on the soft-start time because it sinks part of the cur-  
rent source to ground. However, as long as RDLY is kept  
greater than 200k, this effect is minor. The value for CDLY  
can be approximated using:

The smallest possible inductor should be used to minimize  
the number of output capacitors. Choosing a 650nH inductor  
is a good choice for a starting point and gives a calculated  
ripple current of 8.86A. The inductor should not saturate at  
the peak current of 26.1A and should be able to handle the  
sum of the power dissipation caused by the average current  
of 21.7A in the winding and core loss.

Where tSS is the desired soft-start time. Assuming an RDLY  
of 301kand a desired a soft-start time of 3ms, CDLY is  
35nF. A close standard value for CDLY is 47nF. Once CDLY  
has been chosen, RDLY can be calculated for the current limit  
latch-off time using:  
Another important factor in the inductor design is the DC  
Resistance (DCR), which is used for measuring the phase  
currents. A large DCR will cause excessive power losses,  
while too small a value will lead to increased measurement  
error. A good rule of thumb is to have the DCR be about  
1 to 1 1/2 times the droop resistance (RO). For our example,  
we are using an inductor with a DCR of 1.6 m.

RDLY

CDLY  
If the result for RDLY is less than 200k, then a smaller soft-  
start time should be considered by recalculating the equation  
for CDLY or a longer latch-off time should be used. In no  
case should RDLY be less than 200k. In this example, a  
delay time of 8ms gives RDLY = 334k. A close  
standard 1% value is 301k.  
Designing an Inductor  
Once the inductance and DCR are known, the next step is  
either to design an inductor or find a standard inductor that  
comes as close as possible to meeting the overall design  
goals. It is also important to have the inductance and DCR  
tolerance specified to keep the accuracy of the system con-  
trolled. Using 15% for the inductance and 8% for the DCR  
(at room temperature) are reasonable tolerances that most  
manufacturers can meet.  
Inductor Selection  
The choice of inductance value for the inductor determines  
the ripple current in the inductor. Less inductance leads to  
more ripple current, which increases the output ripple volt-  
age and conduction losses in the MOSFETs, but allows using  
smaller-size inductors and, for a specified peak-to-peak  
transient deviation, less total output capacitance. Conversely,  
a higher inductance means lower ripple current and reduced  
conduction losses, but requires larger-size inductors and  
more output capacitance for the same peak-to-peak transient  
deviation. In any multi-phase converter, a practical value for  
the peak-to-peak inductor ripple current is less than 50% of  
the maximum DC current in the same inductor. Equation 4  
shows the relationship between the inductance, oscillator  
frequency, and peak-to-peak ripple current in the inductor.  
Equation 5 can be used to determine the minimum induc-  
tance based on a given output ripple voltage:  
The first decision in designing the inductor is to choose the  
core material. There are several possibilities for providing  
low core loss at high frequencies. Two examples are the  
powder cores (e.g., Kool-Mm® from Magnetics, Inc. or  
Micrometals) and the gapped soft ferrite cores (e.g., 3F3  
or 3F4 from Philips). Low frequency powdered iron cores  
should be avoided due to their high core loss, especially  
when the inductor value is relatively low and the ripple  
current is high.  
The best choice for a core geometry is a closed-loop types,  
such as pot cores, PQ, U, and E cores, or toroids. A good  
compromise between price and performance are cores with a  
toroidal shape.

It is best to have a dual location for CCS in the layout so stan-  
dard values can be used in parallel to get as close to the value  
desired. For this example, choosing CCS to be 4.7nF is a  
good choice. For best accuracy, CCS should be a 5% or 10%  
NPO capacitor. A close standard 1% value for RPH(X) is  
100k.

work well are 50°C and 90°C. We will call these resis-  
tance values A (A is RTH(50°C)/RTH(25°C)) and B (B is  
RTH(90°C)/RTH(25°C)). Note that the NTC’s relative value  
is always 1 at 25°C.

COUT Selection  
The required output decoupling for the regulator is typically  
recommended by Intel for various processors and platforms.  
One can also use some simple design guidelines to determine  
what is required. These guidelines are based on having both

The first thing is to select the total amount of ceramic capac-  
itance. This is based on the number and type of capacitor to  
be used. The best location for ceramics is inside the socket,

can be placed along the outer edge of the socket as well.

Combined ceramic values of 200µF–300µF are recom-

capacitors. Select the number of ceramics and find the total  
ceramic capacitance (CZ).  
5. Calculate RTH = rTH x RCS, then select the closest value  
of thermistor available. Also compute a scaling factor k  
based on the ratio of the actual thermistor value used  
relative to the computed one:  
Next, there is an upper limit imposed on the total amount of  
bulk capacitance (CX) when one considers the VID on-the-  
fly voltage stepping of the output (voltage step VV in time tV  
with error VERR) and a lower limit based on meeting the crit-  
ical capacitance for load release for a given maximum load

For this example, RCS has been chosen to be 100k, so we  
start with a thermistor value of 100k. Looking through  
available 0603 size thermistors, we find a Panasonic  
ERT-J1VV104J NTC thermistor with A = 0.2954 and  
B = 0.05684. From these we compute RCS1 = 0.3304,  
RCS2 = 0.7426 and RTH = 1.165. Solving for RTH yields  
116.5 k, so we choose 100k, making k = 0.8585. Finally,  
we find RCS1 and RCS2 to be 28.4kand 77.9k. Choosing  
the closest 1% resistor values yields a choice of 35.7kand  
73.2k.

To meet the conditions of these expressions and transient  
response, the ESR of the bulk capacitor bank (RX) should be  
less than two times the droop resistance, RO. If the CX(MIN)  
is larger than CX(MAX), the system will not meet the VID  
on-the-fly specification and may require the use of a smaller  
inductor or more phases (and may have to increase the  
switching frequency to keep the output ripple the same).  
Output Offset  
Intel’s specification requires that at no load the nominal out-  
put voltage of the regulator be offset to a lower value than  
the nominal voltage corresponding to the VID code. The off-  
set is set by a constant current source flowing out of the FB  
pin (IFB) and flowing through RB. The value of RB can be  
found using Equation 11:  
For our example, 22 10µF 1206 MLC capacitors  
(CZ = 220µF) were used. The VID on-the-fly step change is  
250mV in 150µs with a setting error of 2.5mV. Solving for  
the bulk capacitance yields:

temperature of about 125ºC, so we need to make sure we  
account for this when making this selection. For our exam-  
ple, we selected two lower side MOSFETs at 8.6meach at  
room temperature, which gives 8.4mat high temperature.  
Using eight 820µF A1-Polys with a typical ESR of 8m,  
each yields CX = 6.56µF with an RX = 1.0m. One last  
check should be made to ensure that the ESL of the bulk  
capacitors (LX) is low enough to limit the initial high-  
frequency transient spike. This can be tested using:  
Another important factor for the synchronous MOSFET is  
the input capacitance and feedback capacitance. The ratio  
of the feedback to input needs to be small (less than 10% is  
recommended), to prevent accidental turn-on of the synchro-  
nous MOSFETs when the switch node goes high.

Also, the time to switch the synchronous MOSFETs off  
should not exceed the non-overlap dead time of the  
MOSFET driver (40ns typical for the FAN5009). The  
output impedance of the driver is about 2and the typical  
MOSFET input gate resistances are about 1–2, so a total  
gate capacitance of less than 6000pF should be adhered to.  
Since there are two MOSFETs in parallel, we should limit  
the input capacitance for each synchronous MOSFET to  
3000pF.  
In this example, LX is 375pH for the eight A1-Poly capaci-  
tors, which satisfies this limitation. If the LX of the chosen  
bulk capacitor bank is too large, the number of MLC capaci-  
tors must be increased. One should note for this multi-mode  
control technique, “all-ceramic” designs can be used as  
long as the conditions of Equations 11, 12 and 13 are  
satisfied.  
Power MOSFETs  
The high-side (main) MOSFET has to be able to handle two  
main power dissipation components; conduction and switch-  
ing losses. The switching loss is related to the amount of  
time it takes for the main MOSFET to turn on and off, and to  
the current and voltage that are being switched. Basing the  
switching speed on the rise and fall time of the gate driver  
impedance and MOSFET input capacitance, the following  
expression provides an approximate value for the switching  
loss per main MOSFET, where nMF is the total number of  
main MOSFETs:  
For this example, the N-channel power MOSFETs have been  
selected for one high-side switch and two low-side switches  
per phase. The main selection parameters for the power  
MOSFETs are VGS(TH), QG, CISS, CRSS and RDS(ON)  
.
The minimum gate drive voltage (the supply voltage to the  
FAN5009) dictates whether standard threshold or logic-level  
threshold MOSFETs must be used. With VGATE ~10V,  
logic-level threshold MOSFETs (VGS(TH) < 2.5V) are  
recommended. The maximum output current IO determines  
the RDS(ON) requirement for the low-side (synchronous)  
MOSFETs. With the FAN5019, currents are balanced  
between phases, thus the current in each low-side MOSFET  
is the output current divided by the total number of  
MOSFETs (nSF). With conduction losses being dominant,  
the following expression shows the total power being  
dissipated in each synchronous MOSFET in terms of the  
ripple current per phase (IR) and average total output  
current (IO):

Here, RG is the total gate resistance (2for the FAN5009  
and about 1for typical high speed switching MOSFETs,  
making RG = 3) and CISS is the input capacitance of the  
main MOSFET. It is interesting to note that adding more  
main MOSFETs (nMF) does not really help the switching  
loss per MOSFET since the additional gate capacitance  
slows down switching. The best way to reduce switching  
loss is to use lower gate capacitance devices.

Knowing the maximum output current being designed for  
and the maximum allowed power dissipation, one can find  
the required RDS(ON) for the MOSFET. For D-PAK  
MOSFETs up to an ambient temperature of 50ºC, a safe  
limit for PSF is 1W–1.5W at 125ºC junction temperature.  
Thus, for our example (65A maximum), we find RDS(SF)

Typically, for main MOSFETs, one wants the highest  
speed (low CISS) device, but these usually have higher  
ON-resistance. One must select a device that meets the total

combining the switching and conduction losses.

For our example, we have selected a Fairchild FD6696 as the  
main MOSFET (three total; nMF = 3), with a Ciss = 2058 pF  
(max) and RDS(MF) = 15m (max at TJ = 125ºC) and an  
Fairchild FDD6682 as the synchronous MOSFET (six total;  
nSF = 6), with Ciss = 2880pF (max) and RDS(SF) = 11.9mΩ  
(max at TJ = 125ºC). The synchronous MOSFET Ciss is less  
than 3000 pF, satisfying that requirement. Solving for the  
power dissipation per MOSFET at IO = 65A and IR = 8.86A  
yields 1.24W for each synchronous MOSFET and 1.62W for  
each main MOSFET. These numbers work well considering  
there is usually more PCB area available for each main  
MOSFET versus each synchronous MOSFET.  
The size of the internal ramp can be made larger or smaller.  
If it is made larger, stability and transient response will  
improve, but thermal balance will degrade. Likewise, if the  
ramp is made smaller, thermal balance will improve at the  
sacrifice of transient response and stability. The factor of  
three in the denominator of equation 19 sets a ramp size that  
gives an optimal balance for good stability, transient  
response, and thermal balance.  
COMP Pin Ramp  
There is a ramp signal on the COMP pin due to the droop  
voltage and output voltage ramps. This ramp amplitude adds  
to the internal ramp to produce the following overall ramp  
signal at the PWM input.  
One last thing to look at is the power dissipation in the driver  
for each phase. This is best described in terms of the QG for  
the MOSFETs and is given by the following, where QGMF is  
the total gate charge for each main MOSFET and QGSF is the  
total gate charge for each synchronous MOSFET:

For this example, the overall ramp signal is found to be  
0.974V.  
Also shown is the standby dissipation factor (ICC times the  
VCC) for the driver. For the FAN5009, the maximum dissipa-  
tion should be less than 400 mW. For our example, with  
ICC = 7 mA, QGMF = 24nC (max) and QGSF = 31nC (max),  
we find 202 mW in each driver, which is below the 400 mW  
dissipation limit. See the FAN5009 data sheet for more  
details.  
Current Limit Set Point  
To select the current limit set point, we need to find the  
resistor value for RLIM. The current limit threshold for the  
FAN5019 is set with a 3V source (VLIM) across RLIM with  
a gain of 10.4mV/mA (ALIM). RLIM can be found using the  
following:  
Ramp Resistor Selection  
ALIM ×VLIM  
ILIM × RO  
(22)  
The ramp resistor (RR) is used for setting the size of the  
internal PWM ramp. The value of this resistor is chosen to  
provide the best combination of thermal balance, stability,  
and transient response. The following expression is used for  
determining the optimum value:  
RLIM  
=
For values of RLIM greater than 500k, the current limit may  
be lower than expected, so some adjustment of RLIM may be  
needed. Here, ILIM is the average current limit for the output  
of the supply. For our example, choosing 120A for ILIM, we  
find RLIM to be 200k, for which we chose 200kas the  
nearest 1% value.

where AR is the internal ramp amplifier gain, AD is the

MOSFET ON-resistance, and CR is the internal ramp  
capacitor value. A close standard 1% resistor value is 301k.

For the FAN5019, the maximum COMP voltage  
(VCOMP(MAX)) is 3.3 V, the COMP pin bias voltage (VBIAS  
is 1.2V, and the current balancing amplifier gain (AD) is 5.  
Using VR of 0.765V, and RDS(MAX) of 5.95m(low-side  
)
The internal ramp voltage magnitude can be calculated  
using:  
ON-resistance at 125°C), we find a per-phase limit of 40.44A.

Optimized compensation of the FAN5019 allows the best  
possible response of the regulator’s output to a load change.  
The basis for determining the optimum compensation is to  
make the regulator and output decoupling appear as an  
output impedance that is entirely resistive over the widest  
possible frequency range, including DC, and equal to the  
droop resistance (RO). With the resistive output impedance,  
the output voltage will droop in proportion with the load  
current at any load current slew rate; this ensures the optimal  
positioning and allows the minimization of the output  
decoupling.

where, for the FAN5019, R’ is the PCB resistance from the  
bulk capacitors to the ceramics and where RDS is approxi-  
mately the total low-side MOSFET ON resistance per phase  
at 25ºC. For this example, AD is 5, VRT equals 0.974V, R’ is  
approximately 0.6m(assuming a 4-layer motherboard) and  
LX is 375pH for the eight Al-Poly capacitors.  
The compensation values can then be solved for using the  
following:  
With the multimode feedback structure of the FAN5019, one  
needs to set the feedback compensation to make the con-  
verter’s output impedance work in conjunction with the out-  
put decoupling to meet this goal. There are several poles and  
zeros created by the output inductor and decoupling capaci-  
tors (output filter) that need to be compensated for.

CIN Selection and Input Current di/dt Reduction  
In continuous inductor-current mode, the source current of  
the high-side MOSFET is approximately a square wave with  
a duty ratio equal to n (VOUT/VIN) and an amplitude of one-  
nth of the maximum output current. To prevent large voltage  
transients, a low ESR input capacitor sized for the maximum  
rms current must be used. The maximum rms capacitor cur-  
rent is given by:  
2. Hook up DC load to circuit, turn on and verify opera-  
tion. Also check for jitter at no-load and full-load.  
3. Measure output voltage at no-load (VNL). Verify it is  
within tolerance.

5. Repeat Step 4 until cold and hot voltage measurements  
remain the same.  
Note that the capacitor manufacturer’s ripple current ratings  
are often based on only 2000 hours of life. This makes it  
advisable to further derate the capacitor, or to choose a  
capacitor rated at a higher temperature than required. Several  
capacitors may be placed in parallel to meet size or height  
requirements in the design. In this example, the input  
capacitor bank is formed by three 2200µF, 16V Nichicon  
capacitors with a ripple current rating of 3.5A each.  
6. Measure output voltage from no-load to full-load using  
5 Amp steps. Compute the loadline slope for each  
change and then average to get overall loadline slope  
(ROMEAS).  
7. If ROMEAS is off from RO by more than 0.05 m,  
use the following to adjust the RPH values:

RPH (NEW ) = RPH (OLD)

To reduce the input-current di/dt to below the recommended  
maximum of 0.1A/µs, an additional small inductor (L > 1µH  
@ 15A) should be inserted between the converter and the  
supply bus. That inductor also acts as a filter between the  
converter and the primary power source.

adjustments if necessary.

10. Measure the output ripple at no-load and full-load with  
scope and make sure it is within spec.  
18. Set dynamic load step to maximum step size (do not use  
a step size larger than needed) and verify that the output  
waveform is square (which means VACDRP and  
VDCDRP are equal). NOTE: MAKE SURE LOAD  
STEP SLEW RATE AND TURN-ON ARE SET FOR A  
SLEW RATE OF ~150–250A/µs (for example, a load  
step of 50A should take 200ns–300ns) WITH NO  
OVERSHOOT. Some dynamic loads will have an  
excessive turn-on overshoot if a minimum current is not  
set properly (this is an issue if using a VTT tool).  
AC Loadline Setting  
11. Remove DC load from circuit and hook up dynamic  
load.  
12. Hook up scope to output voltage and set to DC coupling  
with a time scale at 100µs/div.  
13. Set dynamic load for a transient step of about 40A at  
1kHz with 50% duty cycle.  
Initial Transient Setting  
19. With dynamic load still set at maximum step size,  
expand scope time scale to see 2µs/div to 5µs/div. You  
will see a waveform that may have two overshoots and  
one minor undershoot (see Figure 9). Here, VDROOP is  
the final desired value.  
14. Measure output waveform (may have to use DC offset  
on scope to see waveform). Try to use vertical scale of  
100 mV/div or finer.  
15. You will see a waveform that looks something like  
Figure 8. Use the horizontal cursors to measure VACDRP  
and VDCDRP as shown.  
DO NOT MEASURE THE UNDERSHOOT OR OVER-  
SHOOT THAT HAPPENS IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE  
STEP.  
Figure 9. Transient Setting Waveform  
20. If both overshoots are larger than desired, try making the  
following adjustments in this order. (NOTE: If these  
adjustments do not change the response, you are limited  
by the output decoupling.) Check the output response  
each time you make a change as well as the switching  
nodes (to make sure it is still stable).  
Figure 8. AC Loadline Waveform  
a. Make ramp resistor larger by 25% (RRAMP).  
16. If the VACDRP and VDCDRP are different by more than a  
couple of millivolts, use Equation 38 to adjust CCS. You  
may need to parallel different values to get the right one  
since there are limited standard capacitor values avail-  
able (it is a good idea to have locations for two capaci-  
tors in the layout for this).  
b. For VTRAN1, increase CB or increase switching fre-  
quency.  
c. For VTRAN2, increase RA and decrease CA by 25%.  
21. For load release (see Figure 10), if VTRANREL is larger  
than VTRAN1 (see Figure 9), you do not have enough  
output capacitance. You will either need more capaci-  
tance or to make the inductor values smaller (if you  
change inductors, you need to start the design over using  
the spreadsheet and this tuning procedure).

REV. 1.0.7 1/5/04  
PRODUCT SPECIFICATION  
FAN5019  
General Recommendations  
• For good results, at least a four-layer PCB is  
recommended. This should allow the needed versatility  
for control circuitry interconnections with optimal  
placement, power planes for ground, input, and output  
power, and wide interconnection traces in the rest of the  
power delivery current paths. Keep in mind that each  
square unit of 1 ounce copper trace has a resistance of  
~0.53 mat room temperature.  
• Whenever high currents must be routed between PCB  
layers, vias should be used liberally to create several  
parallel current paths so that the resistance and inductance  
introduced by these current paths is minimized and the via  
current rating is not exceeded.  
Figure 10. Transient Setting Waveform  
• If critical signal lines (including the output voltage sense  
lines of the FAN5019) must cross through power circuitry,  
it is best if a signal ground plane can be interposed  
between those signal lines and the traces of the power  
circuitry to serves as a shield to minimize noise injection  
into the signals..  
Since the FAN5019 turns off all of the phases (switches  
inductors to ground), there is no ripple voltage present  
during load release. Thus, you do not have to add headroom  
for ripple, allowing your load release VTRANREL to be larger  
than VTRAN1 by that amount and still be meeting spec. If  
VTRAN1 and VTRANREL are less than the desired final droop,  
this implies that capacitors can be removed. When removing  
capacitors, make sure to check the output ripple voltage as  
well to make sure it is still within spec.  
• An analog ground plane should be used both around and  
under the FAN5019 for ground connections to the  
components associated with the controller. This plane  
should be tied to the nearest output decoupling capacitor  
ground and should not tie to any other power circuitry to  
prevent power currents from flowing in it.  
Layout and Component Placement  
The following guidelines are recommended for optimal  
performance of a switching regulator in a PC system.  
Key layout issues are illustrated in Figure 11.  
• The components around the FAN5019 should be located  
close to the controller with short traces. The most  
important traces to keep short and away from other traces  
are the FB and CSSUM pins.  
• The output capacitors should be connected as close as  
possible to the load (or connector) that receives the power  
(e.g., a microprocessor core). If the load is distributed, the  
capacitors should also be distributed, and generally in  
proportion to where the load tends to be more dynamic.  
Power Circuitry  
• The switching power path should be routed on the PCB to  
encompass the shortest possible length in order to  
minimize radiated switching noise energy (i.e., EMI) and  
conduction losses in the board. Failure to take proper  
precautions often results in EMI problems for the entire  
PC system as well as noise related operational problems  
in the power converter control circuitry. The switching  
power path is the loop formed by the current path through  
the input capacitors and the power MOSFETs including  
all interconnecting PCB traces and planes. The use of  
short and wide interconnection traces is especially critical  
in this path for two reasons: it minimizes the inductance in  
the switching loop, which can cause high-energy ringing,  
and it accommodates the high current demand with  
minimal voltage loss. Avoid crossing any signal lines over  
the switching power path loop, described below.  
Figure 11. Layout Recommendations  
REV. 1.0.7 1/5/04  
27  
FAN5019  
PRODUCT SPECIFICATION  
• Whenever a power dissipating component (e.g., a power  
MOSFET) is soldered to a PCB, the liberal use of vias,  
both directly on the mounting pad and immediately  
surrounding it, is recommended. Two important reasons  
for this are: improved current rating through the vias, and  
improved thermal performance from vias extended to the  
opposite side of the PCB where a plane can more readily  
transfer the heat to the air. Make a mirror image of any  
pad being used to heatsink the MOSFETs on the opposite  
side of the PCB to achieve the best thermal dissipation to  
the air around the board. To further improve thermal  
performance, the largest possible pad area should be used.  
Signal Circuitry  
• The output voltage is sensed and regulated between the  
FB pin and the FBRTN pin (which connects to the signal  
ground at the load). In order to avoid differential mode  
noise pickup in the sensed signal, the loop area should be  
small. Thus the FB and FBRTN traces should be routed  
adjacent to each other atop the power ground plane back  
to the controller.  
• The feedback traces from the switch nodes should be  
connected as close as possible to the inductor. The CSREF  
signal should be connected to the output voltage at the  
nearest inductor to the controller.  
• The output power path should also be routed to  
encompass a short distance. The output power path is  
formed by the current path through the inductor, the  
output capacitors, and the load.  
• For best EMI containment, a solid power ground plane  
should be used as one of the inner layers extending fully  
under all the power components.
