Design Tool

The FAN50FC3 device is a multi-phase buck switching regulator controller optimized to convert a 12V input supply to the processor core voltage required by highperformance processors. It has an internal, 8-bit DAC that converts a digital voltage identification VID code sent from the processor, to set the output voltage between 0.5V and 1.6V in 6.25mV steps. It outputs PWM signals to external MOSFET drivers that drive the switching power MOSFETs. The switching frequency of the design is programmable by a single resistor value and the number of phases can be programmed to support 2- or 3-phase applications.

The FAN50FC3 also includes programmable no-load offset and droop functions to adjust the output voltage as a function of the load current, as required by the specifications. The FAN50FC3 also provides an accurate and reliable short-circuit protection function with an adjustable over-current set point.

FastvCore technology greatly improves the fast transient response required by today’s high-performance processors. This allows fewer output capacitors to be used in the application.

The FAN50FC3 is specified over the commercial temperature range of 0°C to +85°C and is available in a 32-lead MLP package.
