Description
The FAN7631 is a pulse-frequency modulation controller
for high-efficiency half-bridge resonant converters that
includes a high-side gate drive circuit, an accurate
current-controlled oscillator, and various protection
functions. The FAN7631 features include variable dead
time, operating frequency up to 600kHz, protections such
as LUVLO, and a selectable latch or A/R protection using
the LS pin for user convenience.
The Zero-Voltage-Switching (ZVS) technique reduces the
switching losses and improves the efficiency significantly.
ZVS also reduces the switching noise noticeably, which
allows a small Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) filter.
Offering everything necessary to build a reliable and
robust resonant converter, the FAN7631 simplifies
designs and improves productivity and performance. The
FAN7631 can be applied to resonant converter
topologies such as series resonant, parallel resonant,
and LLC resonant converters.

Description
This pin is used to enable / disable the gate drive outputs for pulse-skipping operation. When the
voltage of this pin is above 0.6V, the gate drive outputs are enabled. When the voltage of this pin
drops below 0.4V, gate drive signals for both MOSFETs are disabled.
This pin programs the switching frequency. Typically, an opto-coupler is connected to this pin to
control the switching frequency for the output voltage regulation.
This pin is used to program the soft-start time and overload protection delay. It also programs the
restart delay when the converter auto recovers from the protection states. Typically, a small
capacitor is connected on this pin.
This pin is to adjust the dead time using an external resistor.
No connection
User protection function / fault input. This pin can be used as a latch protection, which is
operated when a voltage applied to this pin is higher than 4V
DC
.
This pin is the ground of the control part.
This pin senses the line voltage for line under-voltage lockout (LUVLO).
This pin senses the current flowing through the main MOSFET. Typically, negative voltage is
applied on this pin.
This pin is the power ground. This pin typically connects to the source of the low-side MOSFET.
This pin is used for the low-side gate-driving signal.
This pin is for the supply voltage of the control IC and low-side gate-driving circuit.
No connection
This pin is connected to the drain of the low-side MOSFET. Typically, a transformer is connected
to this pin.
This pin is used for the high-side gate-driving signal.
This pin is used for the supply voltage of the high-side gate-driving circuit.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses exceeding the absolute maximum ratings may damage the device. The device may not function or be
operable above the recommended operating conditions. Extended exposure to stresses above the recommended
operating conditions may affect device reliability so that any test which is stressing the parts to these levels is not
recommended. The absolute maximum ratings are stress ratings only. T
