PRODUCT SPECIFICATION
Thermal Design Considerations
Because of the very large gate capacitances that the
FAN5091 may be driving, the IC may dissipate substantial
power. It is important to provide a path for the IC’s heat to be
removed, to avoid overheating. In practice, this means that
each of the pins should be connected to as large a trace as
possible. Use of the heavier weights of copper on the PCB is
also desirable. Since the MOSFETs also generate a lot of
heat, efforts should be made to thermally isolate them from
the IC.
Over Temperature Protection
If the FAN5091 die temperature exceeds approximately
150 C, the IC shuts itself off. It remains off until the temper-
ature has dropped approximately 40 C, at which time it
resumes normal operation.
Component Selection
MOSFET Selection
This application requires N-channel Enhancement Mode Field
Effect Transistors. Desired characteristics are as follows:
• Low Drain-Source On-Resistance,
• R
• Power package with low Thermal Resistance;
• Drain-Source voltage rating > 15V;
• Low gate charge, especially for higher frequency
For the low-side MOSFET, the on-resistance (R
primary parameter for selection. Because of the small duty
cycle of the high-side, the on-resistance determines the
power dissipation in the low-side MOSFET and therefore
significantly affects the efficiency of the DC-DC converter.
For high current applications, it may be necessary to use two
MOSFETs in parallel for the low-side for each slice.
For the high-side MOSFET, the gate charge is as important
as the on-resistance, especially with a 12V input and with
higher switching frequencies. This is because the speed of
the transition greatly affects the power dissipation. It may be
a good trade-off to select a MOSFET with a somewhat
higher R
available. For high current applications, it may be necessary
to use two MOSFETs in parallel for the high-side for each
slice.
At the FAN5091’s highest operating frequencies, it may be
necessary to limit the total gate charge of both the high-side
and low-side MOSFETs together, to avert excess power dis-
sipation in the IC.

Gate Resistors
Use of a gate resistor on every MOSFET is mandatory. The
gate resistor prevents high-frequency oscillations caused by
the trace inductance ringing with the MOSFET gate
capacitance. The gate resistors should be located physically
as close to the MOSFET gate as possible.
The gate resistor also limits the power dissipation inside the
IC, which could otherwise be a limiting factor on the switch-
ing frequency. It may thus carry significant power, especially
at higher frequencies. As an example, consider the gate
resistors used for the low-side MOSFETs (Q2 and Q4) in
Figure 1. The FDB7045L has a maximum gate charge of
70nC at 5V, and an input capacitance of 5.4nF. The total
energy used in powering the gate during one cycle is the
energy needed to get it up to 5V, plus the energy to get it up
to 12V:
This power is dissipated every cycle, and is divided between
the internal resistance of the FAN5091 gate driver and the
gate resistor. Thus,
and each gate resistor thus requires a 1/4W resistor to ensure
worst case power dissipation.
The same calculation may be performed for the high-side
MOSFETs, bearing in mind that their gate voltage rises to
only (12V-5V) = 7V.
Inductor Selection
Choosing the value of the inductor is a tradeoff between
allowable ripple voltage and required transient response. A
smaller inductor produces greater ripple while producing
better transient response. In any case, the minimum induc-
tance is determined by the allowable ripple. The first order
equation (close approximation) for minimum inductance for
a two-slice converter is:
