Product details
Overview
FAN5069EMTCX from onsemi (formerly Fairchild) is a dual-output power management IC integrating a synchronous buck PWM controller and an LDO controller in a single 16-pin TSSOP package. It supports input voltages from 3V to 24V, delivers PWM output from 0.8V to 15V (e.g., 1.5V VDDQ for DDR memory), and regulates LDO output from 0.8V to 3V (e.g., 1.25V VTT_GTL). Designed for PC/server motherboard peripheral rails, it features RDS(ON) current sensing, programmable 200–600 kHz switching frequency, and multi-fault protection with optional auto-restart.
For engineers reviewing the FAN5069EMTCX datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include its industrial-grade temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), integrated synchronous boot diode, soft-start control via single external capacitor, shunt-regulated VCC bias (5.6 V max), and dual-regulator coordination for GTL/DDR termination and core logic supplies.
Technical Context
The FAN5069EMTCX implements summing-current-mode PWM control with external compensation for fast load transient response and design flexibility. Its current sensing uses the low-side MOSFET's RDS(ON)-a lossless, cost-effective method-while supporting optional external resistor sensing for tighter accuracy. The internal shunt regulator at VCC enables direct operation from either 5 V or 12 V supply rails.
Both regulators share a unified soft-start circuit controlled by a single external capacitor on SS pin: PWM protection activates at 1.2 V, and LDO enable occurs at 2.2 V. Adaptive shoot-through protection monitors gate-to-source voltages of both high- and low-side MOSFETs to dynamically adjust dead time, ensuring safe commutation across diverse FET selections without layout-dependent tuning.
Key Specifications

Package: 16-pin TSSOP (4.4 mm × 5.0 mm, 0.65 mm pitch), lead-free, RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| FBLDO (Pin 1) | LDO Feedback Input | Connects to voltage divider from LDO output; regulates LDO output to internal 0.8 V reference (±1.5% over temp). |
| R(T) (Pin 2) | Oscillator Frequency Set | Resistor to GND sets nominal 200 kHz base frequency; open = 200 kHz, 56 kΩ = ~300 kHz per datasheet curve. |
| ILIM (Pin 3) | Current Limit Threshold | Resistor to GND programs cycle-by-cycle overcurrent limit; 10 µA internal source defines trip point. |
| SS (Pin 4) | Soft-Start Timing & Fault Enable | Capacitor to GND controls slew rate; 1.2 V enables PWM protection, 2.2 V enables LDO output. |
| COMP (Pin 5) | Error Amplifier Output | Compensation node for PWM feedback loop; connects to RC network between FB and GND for stability tuning. |
| FB (Pin 6) | PWM Feedback Input | Inverting input of error amplifier; regulated to 0.8 V reference for precise output voltage setting. |
| EN (Pin 7) | Enable/Reset Input | CMOS-compatible logic input; high = enable, low = shutdown; toggling resets latched faults. |
| AGND (Pin 8) | Analog Ground Reference | Low-impedance return for all internal analog circuits; must connect directly to ground plane under IC. |
| SW (Pin 9) | Switch Node | Connects to source of high-side FET and drain of low-side FET; used for RDS(ON) current sensing and adaptive dead-time monitoring. |
| HDRV (Pin 10) | High-Side Gate Driver | Drives gate of upper N-channel MOSFET; monitored for adaptive shoot-through protection. |
| BOOT (Pin 11) | Bootstrap Supply | Connects to bootstrap capacitor (CBOOT) to generate gate drive voltage above SW for high-side FET. |

| LDRV (Pin 13) | Low-Side Gate Driver | Drives gate of lower N-channel MOSFET; monitored for adaptive shoot-through protection. |
| R(RAMP) (Pin 14) | Voltage Feed-Forward Input | Resistor to VIN sets ramp amplitude to stabilize modulator gain across input voltage variations. |
| VCC (Pin 15) | Bias Supply Input | Internal shunt regulator maintains ≤5.6 V; sinks up to 150 mA when biased from 12 V rail. |
| GLDO (Pin 16) | LDO Gate Drive Output | Drives external P-channel MOSFET for LDO section; enabled only after SS ≥ 2.2 V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous Buck + LDO Combo | Single-chip solution for dual-rail systems (e.g., DDR VDDQ + VTT), reducing BOM count and PCB area vs. discrete controllers. |
| RDS(ON) Current Sensing | Eliminates sense resistor loss and cost; supports accurate current limiting with optional external resistor for tighter tolerance. |
| Unified Soft-Start | Single SS capacitor coordinates startup sequencing: PWM regulation begins before LDO enable, preventing cross-regulator interaction. |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the FAN5069EMTCX?
The FAN5069EMTCX is rated for industrial temperature operation from −40°C to +85°C. This specification is confirmed in the Ordering Information table and Absolute Maximum Ratings section of the official datasheet. The extended range ensures reliable performance in server chassis, industrial PLCs, and outdoor embedded systems where ambient temperatures exceed commercial-grade limits. All electrical characteristics-including reference voltage accuracy, current limit threshold, and gate drive strength-are guaranteed across this full range.
Does the FAN5069EMTCX support 12 V input for VCC biasing?
Yes, the FAN5069EMTCX supports 12 V input for VCC biasing via its internal shunt regulator, which sinks up to 150 mA to maintain VCC ≤5.6 V. An external resistor (RVCC) must be placed between the 12 V supply and the VCC pin, sized per Equation 1 in the datasheet to manage power dissipation and minimize IC self-heating. This eliminates the need for a separate 5 V LDO, simplifying power tree design for systems with existing 12 V rails.
How does the FAN5069EMTCX implement current limiting on the PWM output?
The FAN5069EMTCX implements cycle-by-cycle current limiting using RDS(ON) sensing of the low-side MOSFET, with an internal 10 µA current source setting the trip threshold at ILIM pin. When the sensed voltage exceeds this threshold, the PWM skips pulses; 16 consecutive trips trigger a fault latch. For improved accuracy, an external sense resistor can replace RDS(ON) sensing. The datasheet provides Equation 5 to calculate RILIM based on target IMAX, MOSFET RDS(ON), input/output voltages, and switching frequency.
Can the FAN5069EMTCX be used for DDR memory termination (VTT)?
Yes, the FAN5069EMTCX is explicitly designed for DDR memory termination applications such as VTT_GTL (1.25 V). Its integrated LDO controller-configured via FBLDO feedback and driven by GLDO pin-provides low-noise, fast-transient response regulation ideal for GTL bus termination. The datasheet lists "VTT_GTL (1.25 V)" as a primary application, and typical performance curves (Figures 7–8) validate <2 µs recovery from 0–5 A load steps with <10 mV undershoot.
Is the FAN5069EMTCX pin-compatible with the commercial-grade FAN5069MTCX?
Yes, the FAN5069EMTCX and FAN5069MTCX share identical pinout, package (16-pin TSSOP), and electrical functionality-the only difference is operating temperature grade: FAN5069EMTCX is rated for −40°C to +85°C (industrial), while FAN5069MTCX is rated for −10°C to +85°C (commercial). Both use the same reference voltages, protection thresholds, and compensation schemes, allowing drop-in replacement in thermally demanding environments without layout changes.
