Over−Temperature (OTP)
The regulator shuts down when the die temperature
exceeds 150°C. Restart occurs when the IC has cooled by
approximately 20°C.
Output Discharge
When the regulator is disabled and driving the EN pin
LOW, a 230 W internal resistor is activated between VOUT
and GND. The Output Discharge is not activated during
a FAULT state condition.
Over−Current Protection (OCP)
If the peak current limit is activated for a typical 700 ms,
a FAULT state is generated, so that the IC protects itself as
well as external components and load.
FAULT State
The regulator enters the FAULT state under any of
the following conditions:
•VOUT fails to achieve the voltage required after
soft−start
•Peak current limit triggers
•OTP or UVLO are triggered
Once a FAULT is triggered, the regulator stops switching
and presents a high−impedance path between PVIN and
VOUT. After waiting 30 ms, a restart is attempted. The
regulator shuts down when the die temperature exceeds
150°C. Restart occurs when the IC has cooled by
approximately 20°C.
Power Good
PG, an open−drain output, is LOW during FAULT state
and HIGH for Power Good. The PG pin is provided for
signaling the system when the regulator has successfully
completed soft−start and no FAULTs have occurred. PG pin
also functions as a warning flag for high die temperature and
overload conditions.
•PG is released HIGH when the soft−start sequence is
successfully completed.
•PG is pulled LOW when a FAULT is declared.
Any FAULT condition causes PG to be de−asserted.
Thermal Considerations
For best performance, the die temperature and the power
dissipated should be kept at moderate values. The maximum
power dissipated can be evaluated based on the following
relationship:
PD(max) +NJTJ(max) *TA
QJA Nj
where TJ(max) is the maximum allowable junction
temperature of the die; TA is the ambient operating
temperature; and qJA is dependent on the surrounding PCB
layout and can be improved by providing a heat sink of
surrounding copper ground. The addition of backside
copper with through−holes, stiffeners, and other
enhancements can help reduce qJA. The heat contributed by
the dissipation of devices nearby must be included in design
considerations. Following the layout recommendation may
lower the qJA.

Alternative External Components
It is recommended to use the external components in
Table 8. Alternative components that are suitable for a
design’s specific requirements must also meet the IC’s
requirements for proper device operation.
De−rating factors should be taken into consideration
to ensure selected components meet minimum
requirements.
Output Capacitor (COUT)
As shown in the recommended layout, COUT must
connect to the VOUT pin with the lowest impedance trace
possible. Additionally, COUT must connect to the GND pin
with the lowest impedance possible.
Smaller−than−recommended value output capacitors may
be used for applications with reduced load current
requirements. When selecting capacitors for minimal
solution size, it must be noted that the effective capacitance
(CEFF) of small, high−value, ceramic capacitors will
decrease as bias voltage increases. The effects of Bias
Voltage (DC Bias Characteristics), Tolerance, and
Temperature should be included when determining a
component’s effective capacitance.
The FAN49100 is guaranteed for stable operation with no
less than the minimum effective output capacitance values
shown in Table 9.
