Fairchild Semiconductor International (San Jose, CA) announced the release of the FAN5240, a two-phase, single-chip, PWM controller/driver, which meets the requirements for VCORE power in mobile AMD Athlon 4 and mobile AMD Duron processors.
The FAN5240 features a dynamically adjustable output voltage over the range of 0.925V to 2.00V by means of a five-bit VID DAC with a controllable slew rate. Protection features include a precision sense resistor, shutdown control, over-voltage protection, programmable soft-start, thermal limiting, under-voltage lockout and a power-good output. The FAN5240 is available in 28-lead QSOP and TSSOP packages and is rated for operation over the -10 to +85 degrees C range.
Available now, the FAN5240 is priced at $2.97 for 1,000 pieces. Lead time is seven to eight weeks ARO.
