Product details
Overview
FAN2310MPX from ON Semiconductor (formerly Fairchild) is a 10 A synchronous buck regulator IC designed for high-efficiency DC-DC conversion in power supply rails. It operates from 4.5 V to 18 V input, delivers adjustable output from 0.6 V to 5.5 V, and achieves >96% peak efficiency using constant on-time control with PFM mode at light loads-used in server VRMs and telecom point-of-load supplies.
For engineers reviewing the FAN2310MPX datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include its programmable 200 kHz–1.5 MHz switching frequency, ±1% reference accuracy over temperature, valley-current limit adjustability via ILIM pin, thermal shutdown with 15°C hysteresis, and integrated boot diode enabling single-MOSFET external design.
Technical Context
The FAN2310MPX implements constant on-time (COT) modulation with VIN feed-forward, delivering stable switching frequency in CCM and variable-frequency PFM operation in DCM. Its zero-crossing detection enables seamless transition into ultrasonic PFM mode below audible range, reducing light-load losses without compromising transient response.
Protection architecture includes dual-level over-voltage detection (108–115% and 118–125% of VREF), under-voltage lockout on VCC (4.4 V rising threshold), cycle-by-cycle valley-current limiting, and thermal shutdown at 155°C with 140°C restart hysteresis-ensuring robust fault handling in high-density computing and base station applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 4.5 V to 18 V: Supports wide-input industrial and telecom supply rails without pre-regulation. |

Pinout & Package
Package: 34-lead PQFN, 5.5 mm × 5.0 mm, exposed thermal pad. Designed for high-current routing and low-inductance layout with multiple PVIN, SW, and PGND pads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PVIN (Pins 5–11, P2) | Power input for high-side MOSFET | Dedicated high-current path for input supply; multiple parallel pins reduce IR drop and thermal stress. |
| SW (Pins 2, 12–17, 22, P3) | Switching node | High-dV/dt node connecting HS/LS MOSFETs; requires minimized loop area to suppress EMI. |
| BOOT (Pin 3) | High-side gate driver supply | Charged via internal diode from PVCC; external BOOT–SW capacitor enables N-channel HS drive. |
| ILIM (Pin 24) | Valley current limit setpoint | Resistor-to-SW sets accurate, temperature-compensated current limit (±10% accuracy at 12 A). |
| FB (Pin 27) | Feedback voltage sensing | Monitors output via resistive divider; 596 mV nominal trip point enables precise VOUT programming. |
| PGOOD (Pin 30) | Open-drain power-good indicator | Signals valid regulation (125 Ω pull-down); asserts low during UV/OV/OTP faults for system monitoring. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| PFM with Ultrasonic Mode | Eliminates audible noise by clamping minimum frequency to 18.2–32.7 kHz; maintains efficiency down to µA loads. |
| Internal Boot Diode | Removes need for external bootstrap diode; simplifies layout and improves reliability in high-reliability systems. |
| Programmable Soft-Start | Enables controlled ramp-up and ratiometric tracking across multiple rails using external CSS capacitor. |
| Dual-Level Over-Voltage Protection | First level (108–115% VREF) disables both MOSFETs; second level (118–125% VREF) forces LS-on for rapid discharge-protecting downstream ICs. |
| Thermal Hysteresis | 15°C gap between 155°C shutdown and 140°C restart prevents thermal cycling during overload recovery. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP2315DJ-LF-Z | 4.5–18 V input, 6 A max, fixed 500 kHz fSW, no PFM mode, smaller 3×3 mm QFN-12 package | Limited to lower-current applications; lacks ultrasonic PFM and programmable frequency | Select when board space is constrained and light-load efficiency is secondary to cost and footprint. |
| TPS546D24RSAR | 4.5–18 V input, 10 A, PMBus interface, 300 kHz–2 MHz programmable fSW, integrated MOSFETs, higher BOM cost | Supports digital telemetry and dynamic voltage scaling; requires PMBus host controller | Choose when remote monitoring, margining, or adaptive frequency tuning is required in datacenter applications. |

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended junction temperature for continuous operation of the FAN2310MPX?
The FAN2310MPX has a maximum recommended junction temperature of +125°C for continuous operation, with thermal shutdown activating at +155°C and automatic restart at +140°C. Its θJA of 35°C/W on a 4-layer PCB allows sustained 10 A output at ambient temperatures up to +85°C with minimal airflow-verified in typical application testing per Rev. 1.11 datasheet Figure 8.
How does the FAN2310MPX implement soft-start, and what external component is required?
The FAN2310MPX uses an internal 10 µA current source to charge an external capacitor on the SS pin, generating a controlled voltage ramp. For a 1 ms startup time, a 15 nF capacitor is required (per Equation 5). During soft-start, on-time is modulated from 50% to 100% of steady-state value, and the regulator is forced into PFM mode to ensure monotonic rise-preventing output discharge during pre-bias conditions.
Can the FAN2310MPX operate with a pre-biased output voltage, and how is this supported?
Yes, the FAN2310MPX supports startup on a pre-biased output. It disables the low-side MOSFET until the first positive PWM edge, preventing reverse current flow. The regulator enters PFM mode during soft-start to maintain positive inductor current, and the SS clamp drops to 40 mV during overload-enabling recovery without output collapse. This behavior is confirmed in Figure 14 and Section "Startup on Pre-Bias" of the datasheet.
What is the function of the ILIM pin on the FAN2310MPX, and how is current limit set?
The ILIM pin on the FAN2310MPX sets the valley-current limit threshold via an external resistor connected between ILIM and SW. With a scale factor KILIM = 142 and temperature coefficient of 4000 ppm/°C, a 10 mΩ sense resistor yields ~12 A limit (±10% accuracy at 25°C). An open-circuit detection circuit disables operation if ILIM is left floating-ensuring safe default behavior in case of resistor failure or omission.
Does the FAN2310MPX require an external bootstrap diode, and why or why not?
No, the FAN2310MPX does not require an external bootstrap diode because it integrates a low-forward-voltage (0.6 V typ.) internal diode between PVCC and BOOT. This diode charges the BOOT–SW capacitor during the low-side conduction phase, enabling reliable high-side N-MOSFET drive without additional components-reducing BOM count and layout complexity while improving long-term reliability.
