Product details
Overview
FAN2001MPX from onsemi is a high-efficiency synchronous step-down DC-DC converter delivering up to 1 A output current, operating from 2.5 V to 5.5 V input, with adjustable output voltage from 0.8 V to VIN, and fixed 1.3 MHz PWM switching frequency - deployed in battery-powered portable devices requiring compact, low-quiescent-current power regulation.
For engineers reviewing the FAN2001MPX datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 25 µA quiescent current in Power Save mode, dynamic voltage positioning for load transient headroom, thermal shutdown at 150°C, 96% peak efficiency, and WDFN6 3×3 mm package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The FAN2001MPX implements a current-mode PFM/PWM hybrid control architecture: it operates in fixed-frequency 1.3 MHz PWM mode under moderate-to-heavy loads (≥150 mA typical), and transitions to pulse-skipping Power Save mode at light loads to maintain high efficiency. Its internal error amplifier compares FB voltage against a precise 0.8 V reference to regulate output.
It integrates dual MOSFET drivers with 250–350 mΩ PMOS and 200–300 mΩ NMOS RDS(on), supports 100% duty-cycle low-dropout operation near VIN ≈ VOUT, and features cycle-by-cycle current limiting (1500 mA typical), undervoltage lockout (2.1 V typ.), and digital soft-start with four-step current ramp-up.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5 V to 5.5 V - supports single-cell Li-ion, Li-polymer, and multi-cell alkaline/NiMH battery inputs without external LDO pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | Up to 1 A - sufficient for powering core logic, memory, or RF subsystems in portable electronics. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.3 MHz (typ.) - enables use of small 3.3 µH inductors and ceramic capacitors, minimizing solution footprint. |
| Quiescent Current | 25 µA in Power Save mode - extends battery runtime during standby or low-activity states. |
| Reference Voltage | 0.8 V (typ.) - sets output voltage accuracy via external resistor divider (VOUT = 0.8 × (1 + R1/R2)). |
| Efficiency | 96% peak - achieved via synchronous rectification and low RDS(on) MOSFETs, reducing conduction losses. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C activation with 20°C hysteresis - protects die integrity during sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |
Pinout & Package
Package: WDFN6 (3 mm × 3 mm, 0.95 mm pitch, exposed thermal pad), case 511CP - provides low thermal resistance (θJC = 8°C/W) and compact footprint for portable designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| P1 (AGND) | Analog Ground | Mandatory solder connection to PCB ground plane; separates noise-sensitive analog reference circuitry from power return paths. |
| 1 - VIN | Main Supply Input | Primary input rail connection; powers internal bias circuits and gate drivers - requires local 10 µF ceramic bypass capacitor. |
| 2 - PGND | Power Ground | High-current return path for internal MOSFET switches; must be externally tied to AGND with low-inductance trace or plane. |
| 3 - EN | Enable Control | Active-high logic input; pulls supply current below 1 µA when low - prevents floating by tying to VIN or GND via resistor. |
| 4 - FB | Feedback Sense | Connects to resistor divider midpoint; regulates output by comparing divided VOUT to 0.8 V internal reference. |
| 5 - NC | No Connection | Unbonded pin - must remain unconnected; no routing or copper fill allowed beneath this pad. |
| 6 - SW | Switching Node | Drives external inductor; carries high di/dt square wave - requires short, wide trace and adjacent ground pour for EMI control. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous Rectification | Eliminates external Schottky diode, reducing conduction loss and improving efficiency across full load range. |
| Dynamic Voltage Positioning | Shifts regulated output +0.8% above nominal during light load to provide headroom for fast load transients without undershoot. |
| 100% Duty-Cycle Operation | Enables dropout-free regulation when input voltage approaches output - critical for battery end-of-discharge operation. |
| Output Over-Voltage Protection | Hardware-based comparator clamps output if FB exceeds threshold, preventing damage to downstream ICs during feedback fault. |
| Digital Soft-Start | Four-step current ramp limits inrush into output capacitor, avoiding input rail collapse and output overshoot at startup. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down DC-DC converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62231DRYR | Fixed 1.8 V output (non-adjustable); 2.05 V to 6.5 V input; 3.6 µA quiescent current in DCS-Control™ mode. | Lacks adjustable output and dynamic voltage positioning; better suited for fixed-voltage, ultra-low-IQ always-on rails. | Select when output voltage is static and minimum quiescent current dominates over transient performance. |
| RT8059GJ6 | 1.5 MHz switching frequency; 2.5 V to 5.5 V input; 1 A rating; includes integrated soft-start but no PFM mode. | Higher 60 µA quiescent current in light-load mode; lacks dynamic voltage positioning and 100% duty-cycle capability. | Choose where predictable fixed-frequency operation is prioritized over battery life optimization in variable-load systems. |
Compared with TPS62231DRYR and RT8059GJ6, the FAN2001MPX uniquely combines adjustable output, dynamic voltage positioning, 25 µA Power Save quiescent current, and 100% duty-cycle operation - making it optimal for battery-powered systems requiring both wide VOUT flexibility and extended runtime under dynamic load profiles.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current supported by the FAN2001MPX?
The FAN2001MPX supports up to 1 A of continuous output current across its specified input voltage range (2.5 V to 5.5 V) and operating temperature range (−40°C to +85°C ambient). This rating assumes proper PCB layout with adequate copper area for thermal dissipation and use of recommended external components - including a 3.3 µH inductor and 2 × 10 µF output capacitance - as defined in the official onsemi datasheet for FAN2001MPX.
Does the FAN2001MPX support adjustable output voltage, and how is it configured?
Yes, the FAN2001MPX supports fully adjustable output voltage from 0.8 V to VIN using an external resistor divider connected to the FB pin. The output is set by VOUT = 0.8 V × (1 + R1/R2), where R1 connects between VOUT and FB, and R2 connects between FB and AGND. The datasheet specifies R1 + R2 ≤ 800 kΩ, and recommends R2 = 10 kΩ or 100 kΩ depending on quiescent current trade-offs - confirming this configuration method applies directly to the FAN2001MPX.
What protection features are integrated into the FAN2001MPX?
The FAN2001MPX integrates multiple hardware-level protections: cycle-by-cycle overcurrent limiting (1500 mA typical), thermal shutdown at 150°C with 20°C hysteresis, output over-voltage protection triggered by FB pin monitoring, undervoltage lockout (UVLO) with 2.1 V threshold and 150 mV hysteresis, and short-circuit protection that reduces average input current to ~200 mA during fault. All these functions operate autonomously without external components - verified in the FAN2001MPX datasheet's Electrical Characteristics and Detailed Operation sections.
How does the FAN2001MPX manage efficiency at light loads?
The FAN2001MPX maintains high efficiency at light loads by automatically entering Pulse Frequency Modulation (PFM) power-save mode, where it skips switching cycles instead of reducing duty cycle. In this mode, quiescent current drops to 25 µA (typ.), and regulation is maintained by activating bursts only when output voltage drifts beyond ±0.8% of nominal. This behavior - confirmed in the FAN2001MPX datasheet's Applications Information and Typical Performance Characteristics - avoids the efficiency collapse seen in fixed-frequency PWM-only converters below ~150 mA load.
What is the package type and thermal performance of the FAN2001MPX?
The FAN2001MPX uses a WDFN6 (3 mm × 3 mm, 0.95 mm pitch) package with exposed thermal pad (case 511CP), offering a junction-to-case thermal resistance (θJC) of 8°C/W. This package enables efficient heat transfer to the PCB ground plane when soldered per onsemi's layout guidelines - a specification explicitly documented for the FAN2001MPX in the Mechanical Case Outline and Absolute Maximum Ratings sections of its datasheet.
