Product details
Overview
FAN48618BUC53X from onsemi is a 2.5 MHz fixed-output synchronous TinyBoost regulator designed to generate a stable 5.25 V rail from single-cell Li-ion batteries (2.7–4.8 V input), enabling USB OTG and Class-D audio supply in space-constrained portable devices. It integrates N- and P-channel power switches, supports true load disconnect, and delivers up to 1.2 A output current at 3.0 V input.
For engineers reviewing the FAN48618BUC53X datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 2.5 MHz switching frequency, 9-bump WLCSP package, 5.25 V fixed output, under-voltage lockout at 2.2 V, and integrated synchronous rectification for high efficiency in battery-powered wearables and smartphones.
Technical Context
The FAN48618BUC53X employs current-mode control with valley-current limiting and operates in Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM) at ~2.5 MHz under moderate-to-heavy loads, transitioning to variable-frequency DCM at light loads to maintain efficiency. Its startup sequence includes Linear (LIN), Soft-Start (SS), and Boost (BST) modes, with automatic fault recovery after 20 ms.
It features dual ground domains-PGND for power return and AGND as analog reference-requiring single-point connection. Protection includes over-temperature shutdown at 150°C (20°C hysteresis), short-circuit protection, and true load disconnect during shutdown to prevent reverse leakage (<3.5 µA).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.25 V ±4% DC accuracy ensures stable USB OTG and audio amplifier biasing without external feedback. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.5 MHz typical enables compact 0.47 µH inductor and small 0402/0603 capacitors for ultra-thin mobile designs. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 4.8 V supports full discharge of Li-ion cells while maintaining regulation below system brownout thresholds. |
| Max Output Current | 1200 mA at VIN ≥ 3.0 V enables driving Class-D amplifiers and USB peripherals directly from battery. |
| Quiescent Current | 90 µA typical at 3.6 V minimizes standby drain in always-on wearable sensors and low-power subsystems. |
| UVLO Threshold | 2.2 V rising with 150 mV hysteresis prevents oscillation during battery sag and enables graceful shutdown before critical voltage collapse. |
| RDS(ON) (N/P) | 80 mΩ / 65 mΩ typical reduces conduction loss and thermal rise in 1.215 mm × 1.215 mm WLCSP footprint. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 9-bump Wafer-Level Chip-Scale Package (WLCSP), 1.215 mm × 1.215 mm × 0.581 mm, 0.4 mm pitch, case 567QW.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VOUT (A1, A2) | Regulated output node | Direct connection point for 22 µF output capacitor; must be routed with minimal trace length to PGND for ripple suppression. |
| VIN (A3) | Battery input and gate drive bias source | Supplies internal logic and switch drivers; requires local 4.7 µF input capacitor to stabilize during pulsed load transients. |
| SW (B1, B2) | Internal boost switch node | Connects to 0.47 µH inductor; high di/dt path requiring tight loop area to minimize EMI and voltage overshoot. |
| EN (B3) | Logic-enable control input | Active-HIGH enable with 1.2 V VIH threshold; internal 300 kΩ pull-down ensures safe default-off state. |
| PGND (C1, C2) | Power ground return | Primary return path for inductor current and output capacitor; must connect to COUT ground via shortest possible path. |
| AGND (C3) | Analog reference ground | Signal reference for error amplifier and UVLO comparator; tied to PGND at single point near IC to avoid noise coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous rectification | Integrated P-channel MOSFET replaces external Schottky diode, eliminating 300–400 mV forward drop and improving efficiency by >8% at 500 mA. |
| True load disconnect | High-impedance isolation between VIN and VOUT during shutdown prevents battery drain from downstream circuits and reverse leakage <3.5 µA. |
| Three-component solution | Only requires 0.47 µH inductor, 4.7 µF input cap, and 22 µF output cap-enabling <1.5 mm² total passive area in smartphone bezel designs. |
| 2.5 MHz fixed-frequency operation | Enables use of miniature 2012-size inductors and avoids AM radio band interference, simplifying EMI filtering in RF-sensitive layouts. |
| Linear startup mode | Internal current-limited charge path brings VOUT within 300 mV of VIN before switching begins, preventing inrush-induced brownout in systems with large output capacitance. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous boost regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS61291DRVR | Fixed 5.0 V output, 1.2 MHz switching, 1.5 A max, 12-bump WLCSP (1.63 × 1.63 mm) | Larger footprint and lower frequency limit its use in ultra-thin bezel designs requiring 2.5 MHz EMI avoidance. | Select when higher output current headroom and lower quiescent current (5 µA shutdown) outweigh size and frequency constraints. |
| MAX17222ETA+T | Adjustable output (2.0–5.25 V), 2.5 MHz, 1 A max, 6-bump WLCSP (1.22 × 0.84 mm) | Lacks true load disconnect and has higher RDS(ON) (120 mΩ), increasing conduction loss in high-duty-cycle applications. | Select when output voltage flexibility is required and reverse leakage tolerance exceeds 10 µA. |
Compared with FAN48618BUC53X, TPS61291DRVR offers higher current but larger size and lower frequency, while MAX17222ETA+T provides adjustable output but sacrifices load isolation and efficiency-making FAN48618BUC53X optimal for fixed 5.25 V, space-constrained, low-leakage USB/audio applications.

FAQ
What is the exact output voltage of the FAN48618BUC53X and how tightly is it regulated?
The FAN48618BUC53X provides a fixed 5.25 V output with ±4% DC accuracy over temperature and load (−40°C to +85°C, 0–1 A). This specification is measured at the VOUT pin with effective output capacitance ≥5 µF and accounts for ripple-induced measurement offset. The FAN48618BUC53X achieves this stability using an internal trimmed reference and current-mode control architecture that rejects input voltage variation.
Does the FAN48618BUC53X support true load disconnect, and how does it behave during shutdown?
Yes, the FAN48618BUC53X implements true load disconnect: when EN is pulled LOW, both VIN-to-VOUT forward conduction and VOUT-to-VIN reverse leakage are blocked. Reverse leakage is limited to ≤3.5 µA at 2.7 V input, and forward path impedance exceeds 10 MΩ. This behavior isolates downstream circuits completely, preserving battery life in always-connected portable systems using the FAN48618BUC53X.
What are the absolute maximum ratings for input voltage and junction temperature on the FAN48618BUC53X?
The FAN48618BUC53X has an absolute maximum VIN rating of 6.0 V and a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +150°C. Exceeding 6.0 V on VIN risks permanent damage to internal gate drivers and logic circuits. Thermal shutdown activates at 150°C with 20°C hysteresis, and the device resumes operation only after die temperature falls below 130°C. These limits are validated per JEDEC JESD51 and apply regardless of PCB layout or airflow for the FAN48618BUC53X.
Can the FAN48618BUC53X operate with input voltages below 2.7 V, and what happens if VIN drops below UVLO?
No-the FAN48618BUC53X is not specified to operate below 2.7 V input. Its under-voltage lockout (UVLO) triggers at 2.2 V (rising) with 150 mV hysteresis. If VIN falls below 2.2 V, the device shuts down, disables switching, and enters high-impedance state between VIN and VOUT. Recovery requires VIN to rise above 2.35 V before restart. Operation below 2.7 V violates recommended conditions and may cause unstable regulation or excessive RDS(ON) heating in the FAN48618BUC53X.
What is the recommended output capacitor value and type for stable operation of the FAN48618BUC53X?
The FAN48618BUC53X requires a minimum effective output capacitance (CEFF) of 5 µF for guaranteed stability across all operating conditions. The datasheet specifies a 22 µF, 10 V, X5R, 0603 ceramic capacitor (e.g., SEMCO CL10A226MP8NUNE) as the typical solution. Due to DC bias derating, actual capacitance at 5.25 V bias must remain ≥5 µF-verified via manufacturer's CEFF curves. Lower values risk instability and increased ripple beyond the 25 mV typical spec for the FAN48618BUC53X.
