outside of the specified range, if the VID DAC inputs are
in no CPU mode, or whenever the EN pin is pulled low.
PWRGD is blanked during a VID OTF event for a period
of ~200µs to prevent false signals during the time the
output is changing.
The PWRGD circuitry also incorporates an initial turn-on
delay time (TD5) based on the DELAY timer. Prior to the
SS voltage reaching the programmed VID DAC voltage
of -100mV, the PWRGD pin is held low. Once the SS
pin is within 100mV of the programmed DAC voltage,
the capacitor on the DELAY pin begins to charge up. A
comparator monitors the DELAY voltage and enables
PWRGD when the voltage reaches 1.7V. The PWRGD
delay time is therefore set by a current of 15µA charging
a capacitor from 0V to 1.7V.
OUTPUT CROWBAR
As part of the protection for the load and output
components of the supply, the PWM outputs are driven
low (turning on the low-side MOSFETs) when the output
voltage exceeds the upper crowbar threshold. This
crowbar action stops once the output voltage falls below
the release threshold of approximately 300mV.
Turning on the low-side MOSFETs pulls down the
output as the reverse current builds up in the inductors.
If the output over-voltage is due to a short in the high-
side MOSFET, this action current-limits the input supply,
protecting the microprocessor.
OUTPUT ENABLE AND UVLO
For the FAN5033 to begin switching, the input supply
(VCC) to the controller must be higher than the UVLO
threshold and the EN pin must be higher than its 0.85V
threshold. This initiates a system start-up sequence. If
either UVLO or EN is less than their respective
thresholds, the FAN5033 is disabled, which holds the
PWM outputs low, discharges the DELAY and SS
capacitors, and forces PWRGD and OD# signals low.
In the application circuit, the OD# pin should be
connected to the OD# inputs of the FAN5009 or
FAN5109 drivers. Pulling OD# low disables the drivers
such that both DRVH and DRVL are driven low. This
turns off the bottom MOSFETs to prevent them from
discharging the output capacitors through the output
inductors. If the bottom MOSFETs were left on, the
output capacitors could ring with the output inductors
and produce a negative output voltage to the processor.
