In addition to providing up to 94 percent charging efficiency, the FAN54013 delivers a suite of protection features such as integrated 20 V input voltage rating, thermal protection, reverse current blocking, watchdog timers, and ±5 percent accurate input current limiting for USB compliance. USB OTG hosting is supported with an integrated 5 V 500 mA boost that uses the same inductor as the charger thereby reducing external component count.
For flexibility the FAN54013 charging parameters and operating modes are programmable through an I2C interface, which operates up to 3.4 Mbps. Available in a 1.96 x 1.87 mm, 20-bump, 0.4 mm pitch CSP package, the FAN5401x family is the smallest switch-mode solution on the market that provides both charger and full 500 mA USB-OTG 5 V boost functionality.
Fairchild’s USB expertise, combined with its broad portfolio of mobile power solutions, allows designers to innovate and differentiate their mobile offerings. By working with customers, as well as by identifying developing trends in the marketplace, Fairchild continues to develop the right power management solutions that advance mobile designs and enrich the user experience.
