Product details
Overview
FAN48615UC11X from onsemi is a fixed-output, synchronous TinyBoost regulator designed to generate a stable 5.40 V rail from single-cell Li-ion batteries (2.7–5.5 V input), supporting up to 1000 mA load with PWM-only control and forced pass-through operation via EN pin-used in portable audio amplifiers and NFC power rails.
For engineers reviewing the FAN48615UC11X datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include output voltage accuracy (±2%), switching frequency (1.8–2.8 MHz), RDS(ON) of boost switch (63 mΩ) and sync rectifier (52 mΩ), true load disconnect, and WLCSP-9 package thermal resistance (50 °C/W).
Technical Context
The FAN48615UC11X implements current-mode PWM control with automatic transition between Linear Startup (LIN), Soft-Start (SS), Boost (BST), and Pass-Through (PT) modes. It uses internal N-channel boost switch and P-channel synchronous rectifier, enabling high efficiency (up to 97%) and low quiescent current (95 µA).
Pass-through activation occurs either automatically when VIN exceeds VOUT (5.40 V) or forcibly via EN pin pull-low after startup; fault protection includes valley current limiting, UVLO (2.20 V with 150 mV hysteresis), over-temperature shutdown (150 °C), and short-circuit detection via VIN–VOUT differential monitoring.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.40 V ±2% DC accuracy across 2.7–4.5 V input range-ensures stable rail for Class-D amplifiers and RF front-ends. |
| Max Output Current | 1000 mA continuous-supports high-pulse loads in smart phone boost applications without external current sensing. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.8–2.8 MHz typical at 300 mA load-enables use of compact 470 nH inductor and minimizes EMI in space-constrained layouts. |
| RDS(ON) (Boost Switch) | 63 mΩ typical-reduces conduction loss during boost phase, critical for >95% efficiency at mid-load. |
| RDS(ON) (Sync Rectifier) | 52 mΩ typical-lowers forward drop in pass-through mode, minimizing voltage drop (<300 mV threshold for fault detection). |
| Quiescent Current | 95 µA at zero load, EN = 1.8 V-extends battery life in always-on portable devices. |
| UVLO Threshold | 2.20 V rising with 150 mV hysteresis-prevents erratic startup near battery depletion while avoiding premature shutdown. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 9-bump Wafer-Level Chip-Scale Package (WLCSP), 1.215 × 1.215 mm, 0.4 mm pitch, 0.38 mm height (Case 567QW). Thermal resistance θJA = 50 °C/W on 4-layer JEDEC-compliant board.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1, A2 | VOUT | Regulated 5.40 V output terminals-must connect directly to COUT anode with minimal trace length to reduce ripple and ESR-induced instability. |
| A3 | VIN | Main input from Li-ion battery (2.7–5.5 V)-connects to CIN cathode and supplies internal logic and power stage. |
| B1, B2 | SW | Switching node tied to inductor-carries high di/dt; requires tight loop area with PGND to minimize EMI and voltage overshoot. |
| B3 | EN | Digital enable with VIH = 1.05 V, VIL = 0.4 V-pulling LOW after startup forces immediate pass-through; cannot initiate startup in pass-through mode. |
| C1, C2 | PGND | Power ground return for COUT and internal FETs-must be connected to COUT cathode with shortest possible path to limit ground bounce. |
| C3 | AGND | Analog reference for error amplifier and modulator-tie to PGND at single point only to avoid noise coupling into regulation loop. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Forced Pass-Through via EN | EN pin pull-low after startup enables direct VIN-to-VOUT conduction with <300 mV drop-eliminates switching loss during high-input conditions. |
| True Load Disconnect | Internal isolation between VIN and VOUT when disabled-prevents backfeed and leakage into powered-down system rails. |
| Synchronous Rectification | Integrated P-channel MOSFET replaces Schottky diode-reduces forward voltage drop by ~300 mV vs. discrete solution, improving light-load efficiency. |
| Three-External-Component Design | Only 470 nH inductor + 10 µF CIN (0402) + 10 µF COUT (0603) required-minimizes BOM count and PCB footprint for ultra-portable designs. |
| Short-Circuit Protection | VIN–VOUT differential comparator triggers fault if drop exceeds 300 mV-protects downstream circuitry without external sensing resistors. |
Applications
| Class-D Audio Amplifier Power Rail | NFC Transceiver Boost Supply |

Use Value: ±2% VOUT accuracy ensures consistent sensor excitation; soft-start prevents inrush-induced AFE reset during power-up. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed-output synchronous boost regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS61291DRVR | 5.0 V fixed output, 1.2 MHz switching, 1200 mA max, 1.2 × 1.6 mm DSBGA | Lacks forced pass-through; no EN-controlled mode transition-requires external logic for bypass functionality. | Select when strict 5.0 V rail is needed and pass-through is not required; higher current rating suits longer-duration loads. |
| MAX17222ELT+T | 5.0 V fixed output, 2.5 MHz switching, 500 mA max, 1.61 × 1.61 mm WLP | Lower current capability and no true load disconnect-leakage path remains during disable. | Choose for cost-sensitive, lower-current applications where footprint tolerance allows larger WLP package. |
Compared with TPS61291DRVR and MAX17222ELT+T, the FAN48615UC11X uniquely delivers 5.4 V output with integrated forced pass-through, true load disconnect, and 1000 mA capability in the smallest WLCSP-9 footprint-making it optimal for space-constrained, high-efficiency portable systems requiring dynamic rail management.

FAQ
What is the exact output voltage of the FAN48615UC11X?
The FAN48615UC11X provides a fixed 5.40 V output with ±2% DC accuracy across 2.7–4.5 V input range and load currents from 0 to 1000 mA. This value is laser-trimmed at wafer test and confirmed in Table 6 of the datasheet under VREG parameter-distinct from the 5.25 V variant (FAN48615UC08X).
Does the FAN48615UC11X support automatic pass-through mode?
Yes, the FAN48615UC11X automatically enters Pass-Through Mode when VIN exceeds 5.40 V and no switching has occurred for 5 seconds. During this mode, the internal P-channel MOSFET fully enhances to create a low-impedance path from VIN to VOUT, reducing conduction loss-verified in Figure 18 and Section "Pass-Through Mode" of the datasheet.
What is the recommended inductor for the FAN48615UC11X?
The recommended inductor is a 470 nH, 2016 metric (2.0 × 1.6 mm), 1.0 mm height shielded inductor with 26 mΩ DCR-specifically TOKO part DFE201610E-R47M. This value is validated in Table 1 and Figures 4–17 for optimal efficiency, transient response, and thermal performance at 1000 mA load.
How does the FAN48615UC11X handle short-circuit conditions?
The FAN48615UC11X detects short circuits by monitoring the VIN–VOUT differential; if the drop exceeds 300 mV after soft-start completion, it enters Fault State, disables switching, and initiates a 20 ms auto-restart timer. This protection is implemented via internal comparator-not external components-as detailed in Section "Fault State" and Table 3.
Can the FAN48615UC11X be used with input voltages below 2.7 V?
No-the absolute minimum input voltage is 2.7 V per Table 4 (Recommended Operating Conditions), and UVLO activates at 2.20 V (Table 6). Operation below 2.7 V violates recommended conditions and may cause unstable regulation or failure to enter Boost Mode; the device will remain latched in Fault State if VIN falls below VUVLO during operation.
