Description
The FAN6520B makes simple work out of implementing
a complete control and protection scheme for a DC-DC
stepdown converter.
Designed to drive N-channel MOSFETs in a synchro-
nous buck topology, the FAN6520B integrates the con-
trol, output adjustment, and monitoring functions into a
single 8-lead package.
The FAN6520B is easy to use, employs a single feed-
back loop, and voltage-mode control with fast transient
response. The output voltage can be precisely regulated
to as low as 0.8V, with a maximum tolerance of ±1.5%
over temperature and line voltage variations. A fixed fre-
quency oscillator reduces design complexity, while bal-
ancing typical application cost. The error amplifier
features a 15MHz gain-bandwidth product and an 8V/µs
slew rate which enables high converter bandwidth for
fast transient performance. The resulting PWM duty
cycles range from 0% to 100%.
The FAN6520B is rated for operation from 0° to +70°C
with the FAN6520BI rated from –40° to +85°C.

Pin Function Description
Bootstrap Supply Input.
Provides a boosted voltage to the high-side MOSFET driver.
Connect to bootstrap capacitor and diode as shown in Figure 1.
High Side Gate Drive Output.
Connect to the gate of the high-side power MOSFET(s).
This pin is also monitored by the adaptive shoot-through protection circuitry to determine
when the upper MOSFET has turned off.
Ground.
The signal and power ground for the IC. Tie this pin to the ground island/plane
through the lowest impedance connection available. Connect directly to source of low-side
MOSFET(s).
Low Side Gate Drive Output.
Connect to the gate of the low-side power MOSFET(s).
This pin is also monitored by the adaptive shoot-through protection circuitry to determine
when the lower MOSFET has turned off.
VCC.
Provides bias power to the IC and the drive voltage for LDRV. Bypass with a good
quality ceramic capacitor (X7R or X5R) as close to this pin as possible.
Feedback.
This pin is the inverting input of the internal error amplifier. Use this pin, in
combination with the COMP pin, to compensate the voltage-control feedback loop of the
converter.
COMP/SD.
This is a multiplexed pin. During operation, the output of the error amplifier
drives this pin. Pulling COMP to a level below 0.8V disables the controller. Disabling the
controller causes the oscillator to stop, the HDRV and LDRV outputs to be held low, and the
soft-start circuitry to re-arm. Connect a 75k
Ω
resistor between VCC and COMP/SD pin to
pull up.
Switch Node Input.
Connect as shown in Figure 1. The SW pin provides return for the
high-side bootstrapped driver, is a sense point for the adaptive shoot-thru protection.

Notes:
1. All limits at operating temperature extremes are guaranteed by design, characterization and statistical quality
control.
