Product details
Overview
FAN23SV56MPX from ON Semiconductor is a 6 A synchronous buck regulator with PFM mode and ultrasonic frequency clamping, designed for high-efficiency DC-DC conversion in computing and telecom power rails. It supports 7–24 V input (or 4.5–5.5 V bypass mode), delivers 0.6–5.5 V output, achieves >96% peak efficiency, and operates up to 1.5 MHz switching frequency.
For engineers reviewing the FAN23SV56MPX datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed light-load PFM behavior with ultrasonic clamping, real-world thermal performance data (θJA = 35°C/W), and two rigorously cross-checked alternative regulators for similar high-current buck applications.
Technical Context
The FAN23SV56MPX implements Fairchild's constant on-time (COT) control architecture with VIN feed-forward, enabling stable operation across wide input ranges without loop compensation. Its modulator uses a fixed tON (programmable via FREQ pin resistor) and minimum tOFF of 320 ns to ensure reliable valley-current sensing and PFM entry.
PFM mode activates during discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) at light loads, reducing switching frequency while maintaining ultrasonic clamping ≥18.2 kHz to avoid audible noise. Protection includes valley-current limiting (±10% accuracy), dual-level over-voltage detection (108–115% and 118–125%), and thermal shutdown at 155°C with 15°C hysteresis.

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 A rated, fixed 500 kHz frequency, no PFM/ultrasonic mode; smaller 8-pin SOIC package. | Lacks light-load efficiency optimization and frequency programmability; suitable only for static, medium-current loads. | Select when board space is constrained and load profile is steady-state; not recommended for CPU/GPU rails with dynamic current. |
| TPS546B24RVFR | 6 A, PMBus-enabled, 400 kHz–2 MHz programmable frequency, but requires external compensation and has higher quiescent current (12 mA vs. 1.8 mA). | Supports digital telemetry and margining; adds complexity for analog-only designs. | Choose for systems needing real-time voltage/current monitoring or adaptive frequency tuning; avoid if analog simplicity is prioritized. |
Compared with MP2315DJ-LF-Z and TPS546B24RVFR, the FAN23SV56MPX uniquely combines 6 A capability, ultrasonic PFM, and COT control in a single-chip solution-enabling high efficiency across full load range without external compensation or digital infrastructure.

FAQ
What input voltage ranges does the FAN23SV56MPX support?
The FAN23SV56MPX supports two distinct input configurations: 7–24 V using its internal linear regulator for bias, or 4.5–5.5 V when VIN, PVIN, and PVCC are connected to bypass the internal regulator. This dual-range capability allows flexible integration in both wide-input industrial systems and tightly regulated 5 V rail architectures. The FAN23SV56MPX datasheet specifies absolute maximum PVIN of 30 V and recommends operation within these ranges for reliability.
How does the ultrasonic mode function in the FAN23SV56MPX?
The FAN23SV56MPX implements ultrasonic mode by clamping the minimum switching frequency to 18.2–32.7 kHz during PFM operation, preventing audible noise generation in sensitive applications like notebooks and game consoles. This is achieved through internal circuitry that forces the low-side MOSFET to turn on and trigger a new cycle if frequency drops below the clamp threshold. The FAN23SV56MPX maintains this behavior across its full operating temperature range (-40°C to +125°C).
What is the purpose of the FREQ pin on the FAN23SV56MPX?
The FREQ pin on the FAN23SV56MPX programs the switching frequency by setting the on-time (tON) of the high-side MOSFET via an external resistor to AGND. This resistor determines the modulator's feed-forward current, enabling precise frequency selection from 200 kHz to 1.5 MHz. The FAN23SV56MPX datasheet provides a lookup table correlating resistor values (e.g., 56.2 kΩ for 500 kHz) to frequency, supporting EMI compliance and inductor optimization.
Does the FAN23SV56MPX include over-voltage protection, and how does it work?
Yes, the FAN23SV56MPX features dual-level over-voltage protection: Level 1 (108–115% of nominal VOUT) asserts PGOOD deactivation, while Level 2 (118–125%) triggers immediate shutdown. Both thresholds are referenced to the FB pin voltage and operate independently of load conditions. This layered protection prevents damage to downstream logic in applications such as server CPU cores and telecom FPGAs where overvoltage events could cause catastrophic failure.
Can the FAN23SV56MPX start up with a pre-biased output voltage?
Yes, the FAN23SV56MPX supports startup on a pre-biased output. During soft-start, the low-side MOSFET is disabled until the first positive PWM edge, preventing reverse current flow that could discharge the output capacitor. The FAN23SV56MPX also forces PFM mode during soft-start to maintain positive inductor current, ensuring monotonic VOUT ramp-up even when the output is initially charged to near-regulation voltage.
