Product details
Overview
FAN23SV15MMPX from onsemi (formerly Fairchild) is a 15 A synchronous buck regulator IC designed for high-efficiency DC-DC conversion in server and telecom power rails. It supports 7–18 V input with internal linear bias regulation, delivers 0.6–5.5 V output, achieves >96% peak efficiency, and operates at programmable 200 kHz–1 MHz switching frequency.
For engineers reviewing the FAN23SV15MMPX datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its constant-on-time control architecture, PFM light-load mode, ±1% reference accuracy, thermal shutdown with hysteresis, and 34-pin PQFN (5.5 mm × 5.0 mm) package with integrated boot diode and valley-current limiting.
Technical Context
The FAN23SV15MMPX employs Fairchild's constant-on-time (COT) modulation with VIN feed-forward to maintain stable switching frequency in CCM and enable seamless transition into PFM mode at light loads. Its modulator uses a 600 mV internal reference and monitors FB voltage against dual OVP thresholds (108% and 118% of VREF) and UVP (89% of VREF).
Protection logic includes valley-current limiting via ILIM resistor programming, thermal shutdown at 155°C with 15°C hysteresis, and open-drain PGOOD with soft-start delay (0.82–2.03 ms). The device integrates an internal linear regulator (PVCC = 4.75–5.25 V) and supports 5 V rail operation when VIN/PVIN/PVCC are tied together.

Pinout & Package
Package: 34-lead PQFN, 5.5 mm × 5.0 mm, exposed thermal pad (PGND-connected), RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PVIN (P2, Pins 5–11) | Power input for high-side/low-side MOSFETs | Primary power path for switching stage; rated –0.3 V to 25 V; multiple parallel pins reduce IR drop |
| SW (P3, Pins 2, 12–17, 22) | Switching node | Junction of HS/LS MOSFETs; connects to external inductor; multiple pins minimize parasitic inductance |
| BOOT (Pin 3) | High-side gate driver supply | Charged via internal diode from PVCC; requires external BOOT–SW capacitor for HS drive |
| ILIM (Pin 24) | Valley current limit set-point | Resistor-to-SW sets current threshold; enables adjustable OCP without external sense resistor |
| FB (Pin 27) | Output voltage feedback | Monitors resistive divider; 596 mV reference enables 0.6–5.5 V output programming |
| EN (Pin 29) | Enable control with UVLO | Logic-compatible input (1.26 V rising threshold); supports external resistor divider for input-rail UVLO |
| PGOOD (Pin 30) | Open-drain power-good indicator | Asserts low if VOUT deviates beyond ±11% (UVP/OVP1) or ±22% (OVP2); 125 Ω pull-down |
| SS (Pin 31) | Soft-start timing control | Internal 10 µA current source charges external capacitor; clamps at 400 mV (normal) or 40 mV (overload) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Constant-on-time (COT) control | Enables excellent line/load transient response without loop compensation; maintains stable fSW in CCM |
| Pulse Frequency Modulation (PFM) | Reduces switching frequency at light load to sustain >85% efficiency down to 100 mA output |
| Integrated boot diode | Eliminates external bootstrap diode; reduces BOM count and layout area in compact 5.5 mm × 5.0 mm PQFN |
| Programmable soft-start | External capacitor sets monotonic startup time (e.g., 15 nF = 1 ms); prevents inrush current and output overshoot |
| Dual-level over-voltage protection | OVP1 (108% VREF) disables both HS/LS; OVP2 (118% VREF) forces LS on to clamp VOUT faster |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | Shuts down at 155°C; auto-restarts at 140°C; prevents thermal runaway during sustained overload |

FAQ
What input voltage ranges does the FAN23SV15MMPX support?
The FAN23SV15MMPX supports two distinct input configurations: 7–18 V when using its internal linear regulator for bias (VIN connected to VCC), and 4.5–5.5 V when VIN, PVIN, and PVCC are tied together to bypass the internal regulator. Absolute maximum ratings allow up to 25 V on PVIN, but operation outside the specified ranges may compromise regulation accuracy or reliability. Always verify configuration per application requirements.
How is the switching frequency programmed on the FAN23SV15MMPX?
The FAN23SV15MMPX switching frequency is set by connecting a resistor between the FREQ pin and AGND. The resistor value determines the on-time (tON) and thus the steady-state frequency in CCM, ranging from 200 kHz to 1 MHz. For example, a 100 kΩ resistor yields ~500 kHz. The device implements open-circuit detection on FREQ-if left floating, switching is disabled to prevent uncontrolled operation.
Does the FAN23SV15MMPX require external compensation components?
No, the FAN23SV15MMPX uses constant-on-time (COT) control architecture and does not require external compensation components such as type-II or type-III error amplifier networks. Its inherent stability eliminates loop compensation design effort, simplifies layout, and ensures consistent transient response across input/output conditions without tuning.
What protection features are built into the FAN23SV15MMPX?
The FAN23SV15MMPX integrates valley-current limiting (via ILIM pin), dual-level over-voltage protection (108% and 118% of VREF), under-voltage protection (89% of VREF), thermal shutdown at 155°C with 15°C hysteresis, and PGOOD fault signaling. These protections operate autonomously without external circuitry, safeguarding both the IC and downstream loads during fault conditions.
Can the FAN23SV15MMPX start up on a pre-biased output?
Yes, the FAN23SV15MMPX supports pre-bias startup: it prevents discharging the output during soft-start by disabling the low-side MOSFET until the first PWM edge, and forces PFM mode to maintain positive inductor current. This ensures clean startup on existing VOUT voltages-critical for NVDC notebook systems and hot-swap applications where output capacitance is pre-charged.
