Description
The FAN5098 is a synchronous two-phase DC-DC controller IC which provides a highly accurate, programmable output voltage for the AMD® Hammer™ processor. Two interleaved synchronous buck regulator phases with built-in current sharing operate 180° out of phase to provide the fast transient response needed to satisfy high current applications while minimizing external components.

FEATUREs
• Programmable output from 800mV to 1.550V in 25mV steps using an integrated 5-bit DAC
• Two interleaved synchronous phases for maximum performance
• 100nsec transient response time
• Built-in current sharing between phases
• Remote sense
• Programmable Active Droop (Voltage Positioning)
• Programmable switching frequency from 100KHz to 1MHz per phase
• Adaptive delay gate switching
• Integrated high-current gate drivers
• Integrated Power Good, OV, UV, Enable/Soft Start functions
