Product details
Overview
FAN48623UC35X from Fairchild Semiconductor is a 2500 mA synchronous TinyBoost® DC-DC boost regulator with true bypass mode, designed for Li-ion battery-powered portable systems requiring 3.5 V / 3.7 V fixed output. It operates from 2.5 V to 4.5 V input, delivers up to 97% efficiency at 3.5 V output, and integrates synchronous rectification and load disconnect for low-quiescent-current operation in smartphones and RF power amplifier supplies.
For engineers reviewing the FAN48623UC35X datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 16-bump WLCSP package (1.81 mm × 1.81 mm, 0.4 mm pitch), forced/automatic bypass capability, ±1.0% to ±4.0% output voltage accuracy under load, 2.5 MHz CCM switching, and integrated short-circuit and thermal protection.
Technical Context
The FAN48623UC35X implements current-mode control with valley-current limiting and dynamically transitions between Linear Startup (LIN), Soft-Start (SS), Boost (BST), and Bypass (BPS) operating states based on VIN–VOUT relationship and load conditions. Its modulator supports both Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM) at moderate-to-heavy loads and Discontinuous Conduction Mode (DCM) at light loads to sustain high efficiency across wide load ranges.
Bypass activation is hysteresis-controlled: automatic entry occurs when VIN ≥ VOUT_TARGET + 30 mV, and exit triggers at VOUT_TARGET − 50 mV; forced bypass is enabled via logic-low BYP pin, disabling internal bias circuits to achieve ≤12 µA quiescent current. Power Good (PG) provides open-drain fault signaling tied to soft-start completion and die temperature monitoring.

Pinout & Package
Package: 16-bump Wafer-Level Chip-Scale Package (WLCSP), 1.81 mm × 1.81 mm, 0.4 mm pitch, bumps down. Thermal performance optimized via PGND pad array and recommended multi-layer PCB ground pour with thermal vias.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1 EN | Enable control input | Active-high logic input (VIH ≥ 1.05 V); ties to GPIO for precise startup sequencing and system-level power management |
| A2 PG | Power Good open-drain output | Signals successful soft-start completion and asserts LOW on overload, UVLO, or >125°C die temperature |
| A3/A4 VIN | Main input power connection | Accepts 2.5–4.5 V battery source; requires 10 µF X5R 0603 input capacitor placed adjacent to pins |
| B1 VSEL | Output voltage select | Configures dual-output option (3.5 V / 3.7 V); logic level sets target VOUT before boost activation |
| B3/B4 VOUT | Regulated output node | Delivers fixed 3.5 V / 3.7 V; requires two 22 µF X5R 0603 output caps placed directly at PGND/VOUT pads |
| C1 BYP | Forced bypass mode control | Logic-low activation disables internal regulators and fully enhances Q1/Q3 for near-zero-drop conduction path |
| C3/C4 SW | Switching node | Connects to 0.47 µH inductor; high dI/dt node requiring shortest possible trace and tight coupling to PGND |
| D1 AGND | Analog reference ground | Signal ground reference for error amplifier and control logic; must connect to PGND at single point to avoid noise coupling |
| D2–D4 PGND | Power ground return | Primary return path for inductor current and output capacitor; connects to PCB ground plane via multiple thermal vias |
| B2/C2 NC | No internal connection | Bumps present but unconnected internally; must be tied to PGND for mechanical stability and thermal relief |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| True Bypass Operation | Enables zero-switching, ultra-low-IQ path when VIN > VOUT_TARGET - eliminates switching losses and EMI during battery-sufficient states |
| Synchronous Rectification | Integrated high-side and low-side MOSFETs replace external diode - improves efficiency by ~8% vs. asynchronous designs at 2 A load |
| Integrated Load Disconnect | Blocks reverse current from VOUT to VIN during shutdown or fault - prevents battery drain and protects against backfeed from auxiliary sources |
| Automatic Mode Transition Logic | Seamlessly shifts between LIN→SS→BST→BPS without external control - eliminates need for system MCU intervention during battery voltage sag/recovery |
| Short-Circuit Protection (SCP) | Detects >160 mV VIN–VOUT drop in bypass mode and triggers FAULT restart timer - safeguards against sustained overload or output short |

FAQ
What output voltage does the FAN48623UC35X deliver?
The FAN48623UC35X delivers a fixed dual-option output voltage of either 3.5 V or 3.7 V, selected via the VSEL pin logic state. This matches the ordering code "UC35X", where "35" denotes the primary 3.5 V option and "X" indicates the dual-voltage capability. The device maintains ±1.0% to ±4.0% accuracy across 0–2500 mA load and −40°C to +85°C ambient temperature, ensuring reliable operation for RF PA and PMIC rails.
How does the FAN48623UC35X enter and exit Bypass Mode?
The FAN48623UC35X enters Automatic Bypass Mode when VIN exceeds VOUT_TARGET + 30 mV and exits when VOUT falls below VOUT_TARGET − 50 mV - providing 80 mV total hysteresis to prevent oscillation. Forced Bypass Mode is activated by pulling the BYP pin LOW, which disables internal regulators and fully enhances both pass transistors for near-zero-drop conduction. The FAN48623UC35X remains in Forced Bypass until BYP is returned HIGH, initiating a controlled transition back to Boost Mode.
What is the minimum number of external components required for the FAN48623UC35X?
The FAN48623UC35X requires only four external components: one 0.47 µH inductor (2520 case), one 10 µF input capacitor (0603 X5R), and two 22 µF output capacitors (0603 X5R). No compensation network, feedback resistors, or external MOSFETs are needed due to its fully integrated synchronous architecture and factory-trimmed voltage reference. This minimal BOM reduces layout complexity and accelerates time-to-market for portable designs using the FAN48623UC35X.
Does the FAN48623UC35X provide reverse current protection?
Yes, the FAN48623UC35X provides true load disconnect and reverse current blocking. When disabled (EN = LOW) or in FAULT state, it presents a high-impedance path between VIN and VOUT, limiting reverse leakage to ≤1.0 µA (ILK) and ≤1.5 µA (ILK_OUT). During Forced Bypass Mode, reverse current is actively prevented by internal logic that delays entry until VOUT discharges below VIN. This ensures no battery drain from auxiliary sources or output bus faults - a critical feature for the FAN48623UC35X in multi-rail portable systems.
What thermal management guidance applies to the FAN48623UC35X in its WLCSP package?
The FAN48623UC35X uses a 16-bump WLCSP with θJA = 60°C/W on a 4-layer evaluation board. Effective thermal design requires tying all PGND bumps (D2–D4) and NC bumps (B2/C2) to a large internal ground plane via ≥6 thermal vias, maximizing copper pour on layers 2 (solid ground) and 3 (ground fill), and routing VOUT/VIN traces as wide/short as possible. Ambient temperature must remain ≤+85°C, and junction temperature must stay ≤+125°C continuous (≤+150°C absolute max) - verified by thermal simulation or IR imaging during FAN48623UC35X prototype validation.
