General Description
The FAN5240 is a single output 2-Phase synchronous
buck controller to power AMD’s mobile CPU core. The
FAN5240 includes a 5-bit digital-to-analog converter
(DAC) that adjusts the core PWM output voltage from
0.925VDC to 2.0VDC, which may be changed during
operation. Special measures are taken to allow the out-
put to transition with controlled slew rate to comply with
AMD’s Power Now
technology. The FAN5240 includes
a precision reference, and a proprietary architecture with
integrated compensation providing excellent static and
dynamic core voltage regulation. The regulator includes
special circuitry which balances the 2 phase currents for
maximum efficiency.
At light loads, when the filter inductor current becomes
discontinuous, the controller operates in a hysteretic
mode, dramatically improving system efficiency. The hys-
teretic mode of operation can be inhibited by the FPWM
control pin.
The FAN5240 monitors the output voltage and issues a
PGOOD (Power-Good) when soft start is completed and
the output is in regulation. A pin is provided to add delay
to PGOOD with an external capacitor.
A built-in over-voltage protection (OVP) forces the lower
MOSFET on to prevent the output from exceeding a set
voltage. The PWM controller's overcurrent circuitry moni-
tors the converter load by sensing the voltage drop
across the lower MOSFET. The overcurrent threshold is
set by an external resistor. If precision overcurrent pro-
tection is required, an optional external current-sense
resistor may be used.

VCORE+
VCORE–
Forced PWM mode.
When logic high, inhibits the chip from entering hysteretic operating
mode. If tied low, hysteretic mode will be allowed.
Current Limit.
A resistor from this pin to GND sets the current limit.
ENABLE.
This pin enables IC operation when either left open, or pulled up to V
CC
. Toggling
EN will also reset the chip after a latched fault condition.
Analog Ground.
This is the signal ground reference for the IC. All voltage levels are
measured with respect to this pin.
Power Good / Over-Current Delay.
A capacitor to GND on this pin delays the PGOOD
from going high as well delaying the over-current shutdown.
VCORE Output Sense.
Differential sensing of the output voltage. Used for regulation as
well as PGOOD, under-voltage and over-voltage protection and monitoring. A resistor in
series with this VCORE+ sets the output voltage droop.

PGOOD
Pin Function Description
Power Good Flag.
An open-drain output that will pull LOW when the core output below
825mV. PGOOD delays its low to high transition for a time determined by CDELAY when
VCORE rises above 875mV.
Soft Start.
A capacitor from this pin to GND programs the slew rate of the converter during
initialization as well as in operation. This pin is used as the reference against which the
output is compared. During initialization, this pin is charged with a 25
µ
A current source.
Once this pin reaches 0.5V, its function changes, and it assumes the value of the voltage as
set by the VID programming. The current driving this pin is then limited to ±500
µ
A, that
together with C
SS
sets a controlled slew rate for VID code changes.
Input voltage from battery.
This voltage is used by the oscillator for feed-forward
compensation of input voltage variation.
V
CC
.
This pin powers the chip. The IC starts to operate when voltage on this pin exceeds
4.6V (UVLO rising) and shuts down when it drops below 4.3V (UVLO falling).

Absolute Maximum Ratings
The “Absolute Maximum Ratings” are those values beyond which the safety of the device cannot be guaranteed. The
device should not be operated at these limits. The parametric values defined in the Electrical Characteristics tables
are not guaranteed at the absolute maximum ratings. The “Recommended Operating Conditions” table will define the
conditions for actual device operation.
