Product details
Overview
FAN48615UC08X from onsemi is a fixed-output synchronous TinyBoost regulator designed to deliver regulated 5.25 V from single-cell Li-ion batteries (2.7–5.5 V input), sustaining 1000 mA load even below minimum system battery voltage. It integrates N- and P-channel power switches, features forced pass-through via EN pin, true load disconnect, and achieves up to 97% efficiency in boost mode.
For engineers reviewing the FAN48615UC08X datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include its WLCSP-9 package footprint, PWM-only control architecture, guaranteed 2.3 MHz typical switching frequency, ±2% DC output voltage accuracy, and automatic transition between boost and pass-through modes based on VIN–VOUT differential.
Technical Context
The FAN48615UC08X implements current-mode PWM control with valley-current limiting and a three-phase startup sequence (LIN1 → LIN2 → SS → BST) to manage inrush and ensure reliable regulation. Its internal synchronous rectifier uses a dedicated P-channel MOSFET (RDS(ON)P = 52 mΩ) for high-efficiency energy transfer during boost operation.
Pass-through behavior is dual-triggered: automatically when VIN exceeds VOUT by >300 mV for 5 s (with linear ramping), or forcibly via EN pin low assertion after startup. Fault protection includes short-circuit detection (VIN–VOUT > 300 mV), thermal shutdown at 150°C, and UVLO with 150 mV hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.25 V ±2% DC accuracy ensures stable rail for USB-powered peripherals and Class-D amplifiers without external feedback. |
| Input Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V supports full discharge curve of Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V nominal) and compatibility with newer chemistries like LiFePO₄. |
| Max Output Current | 1000 mA continuous load capability enables direct powering of RF front-ends and NFC transceivers without external LDO buffering. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.3 MHz typical (1.8–2.8 MHz range) allows use of compact 470 nH inductors and minimizes EMI in portable audio subsystems. |
| Quiescent Current | 95 µA in no-load, enabled state extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes and standby audio circuits. |
| RDS(ON) (N/P) | 63 mΩ (N-ch) / 52 mΩ (P-ch) reduces conduction losses and thermal rise in ultra-thin mobile PCB layouts with limited copper area. |
| Thermal Resistance | 50 °C/W θJA measured on 4-layer JEDEC-standard board enables reliable 1 A operation at 85°C ambient without heatsinking. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 9-bump Wafer-Level Chip-Scale Package (WLCSP), 1.215 mm × 1.215 mm × 0.38 mm, 0.4 mm pitch, Pb-free (Case 567QW).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1, A2 | VOUT | Regulated 5.25 V output terminals; must connect directly to COUT anode with minimal trace length to suppress ripple and transient overshoot. |
| A3 | VIN | Main input supply node for Li-ion battery; connects to CIN cathode and serves as reference for UVLO and pass-through detection. |
| B1, B2 | SW | Switching node tied to inductor; carries high di/dt pulses - requires tight loop routing to PGND to minimize EMI and ringing. |
| B3 | EN | Digital enable input; HIGH ≥1.05 V initiates startup, LOW ≤0.4 V forces immediate pass-through mode after regulation is achieved. |
| C1, C2 | PGND | Power ground return for inductor current and output capacitor; must be connected to COUT cathode via shortest possible path to reduce ground bounce. |
| C3 | AGND | Analog reference ground for internal error amplifier and modulator; tied to PGND at single point near IC to avoid noise coupling into regulation loop. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Forced Pass-Through via EN | EN pin low after startup disables switching and fully enhances internal P-MOSFET, delivering <100 mΩ VIN-to-VOUT path for zero-switching-loss battery bypass. |
| True Load Disconnect | Internal NMOS switch isolates VOUT from VIN during shutdown, eliminating reverse current leakage and enabling safe hot-swap of battery modules. |
| Three-External-Component Design | Only requires 470 nH inductor (2016 size), 10 µF input cap (0402), and 10 µF output cap (0603) - simplifies layout and reduces BOM count in space-constrained designs. |
| Short-Circuit Protection | VIN–VOUT differential comparator triggers fault restart if voltage drop exceeds 300 mV, protecting both IC and load during output shorts or capacitive overload. |
| Auto Mode Transition Logic | Seamlessly shifts between Linear Startup (LIN), Soft-Start (SS), Boost (BST), and Pass-Through (PT) based on real-time VIN, VOUT, and load conditions - no external control required. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous boost regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS610995YFFR | Fixed 5.0 V output, 1.2 MHz switching, lower IQ (300 nA shutdown), but no forced pass-through mode. | Suitable for always-on IoT sensors requiring nanoamp shutdown, but cannot replace FAN48615UC08X where battery bypass is mandatory. | Select only if pass-through functionality is unnecessary and ultra-low shutdown current is prioritized over dynamic efficiency optimization. |
| MAX17222ETA+T | Adjustable output (0.6–5.25 V), 2.5 MHz switching, higher RDS(ON) (120 mΩ), no integrated pass-through FET. | Offers design flexibility for multi-rail systems but requires external circuitry to emulate pass-through behavior, increasing complexity and footprint. | Choose when output voltage tuning is needed across variants, accepting added BOM cost and layout effort versus FAN48615UC08X's plug-and-play integration. |
Compared with TPS610995YFFR and MAX17222ETA+T, the FAN48615UC08X uniquely combines fixed 5.25 V output, forced pass-through control, and WLCSP-9 packaging - enabling simpler, more thermally efficient designs for battery-powered audio, NFC, and RF applications where seamless VIN–VOUT transition is critical.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the FAN48615UC08X over temperature and load?
The FAN48615UC08X delivers 5.25 V output with ±2% DC accuracy across −40°C to +85°C ambient temperature and 0–1000 mA load range. This specification is verified per Table 6 of the datasheet under VIN = 3.6 V, with effective COUT ≥ 2.2 µF. The tolerance accounts for line, load, and temperature variation - no external trimming is required.
Can the FAN48615UC08X operate without external components?
No, the FAN48615UC08X requires three external passive components: a 470 nH inductor (2016 metric), a 10 µF input capacitor (0402), and a 10 µF output capacitor (0603). These are specified in Table 1 and Figure 1 of the datasheet. Omitting any compromises regulation stability, efficiency, or fault protection - the IC does not integrate energy storage elements.
How does the forced pass-through mode work on the FAN48615UC08X?
Forced pass-through on the FAN48615UC08X is activated by pulling the EN pin LOW *after* the device has entered regulated boost mode (BST). This fully enhances the internal P-channel MOSFET, creating a low-impedance path from VIN to VOUT. The FAN48615UC08X cannot start in pass-through mode - EN must be held HIGH for ≥350 µs during startup before being pulled LOW.
What protection features are built into the FAN48615UC08X?
The FAN48615UC08X includes valley-current limiting during boost operation, short-circuit protection triggered by VIN–VOUT > 300 mV, thermal shutdown at 150°C, and UVLO with 2.20 V turn-on threshold and 150 mV hysteresis. All protections initiate a 20 ms fault restart timer - no external circuitry is needed to implement robust system-level safety.
Is the FAN48615UC08X pin-compatible with other variants in the FAN48615 family?
Yes, all FAN48615 variants - including FAN48615UC08X (5.25 V) and FAN48615UC11X (5.40 V) - share identical WLCSP-9 pinout, package dimensions, and terminal functions. Only the output voltage and top-side marking (KY vs. KZ) differ. System-level layout and PCB footprint can be reused across variants without modification.
