Function Description
The FR9984 is a constant frequency current mode
step-down synchronous DC/DC converter.
It
regulates input voltage from 4.5V to 18V, down to an
output voltage as low as 0.925V, and provides 3A of
continuous load current.
Control Loop
Enable
The FR9884 EN pin provides digital control to turn
on/off the regulator. When the voltage of EN
exceeds the threshold voltage, the regulator will start
the soft start function. If the EN pin voltage is below
the threshold voltage, only the bandgap voltage will
be alive. If the EN pin voltage is below the
shutdown threshold voltage, the regulator will be
disabled and turn into the shutdown mode.
Maximum Load Current
The maximum load current decreases at lower input
voltage because of large IR drop on the high side
switch and low side switch.
The slope
compensation signal reduces the peak inductor
current as a function of the duty cycle to prevent
sub-harmonic oscillations when duty cycles are
greater than 50%.

Where D is the duty cycle of the power MOSFET.
A low ESR capacitor is required to keep the noise
minimum.
Ceramic capacitors are better, but
tantalum or low ESR electrolytic capacitors may also
suffice.
When using tantalum or electrolytic
capacitors, a 10F ceramic capacitor should be
placed as close to the IC as possible.
