Fairchild Semiconductor FAN6754A Design Guideline to Replace SG6742
The FAN6754A is a highly integrated PWM controller featuring green mode, frequency hopping, constant power limit, and various protection functions. It offers a direct replacement for the SG6742 with the same pin configuration, allowing for PCB layout changes without modification. Functional improvements include reduced operating current for lower standby power and enhanced efficiency through reduced current sensing loss.
The document provides detailed guidance on circuit modifications required for the transition. Key changes involve adjusting the feedback resistor to account for the higher FB impedance, modifying the HV startup circuit for better line surge immunity, and utilizing the two-step UVLO mechanism. It also covers the operation of the internal soft-start, green-mode, and burst-mode functions, along with specific considerations for the output driver and current sensing.
