Product details
Overview
FAN48623UC50X from Fairchild Semiconductor is a 2500 mA synchronous TinyBoost® regulator with forced and automatic bypass mode, designed to boost input voltages from 2.5 V to 5.5 V up to a fixed 5.0 V output. It integrates synchronous rectification, true load disconnect, and short-circuit protection, and operates in a 16-bump WLCSP (1.81 mm × 1.81 mm, 0.4 mm pitch) for space-constrained mobile power rails.
For engineers reviewing the FAN48623UC50X datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this device delivers high-efficiency (up to 94% at 5.0 V out, 3.6 V in, 1 A load), low quiescent current (6–12 µA in forced bypass), and seamless transition between boost and bypass modes-critical for Li-ion battery-powered RF PA and PMIC supply systems.
Technical Context
The FAN48623UC50X employs current-mode modulation operating at ~2.5 MHz in CCM and transitions to DCM at light loads to maintain efficiency. Its control architecture supports linear startup (LIN1/LIN2), soft-start with valley-current limiting, and fault recovery via 20 ms auto-restart timer.
Bypass behavior is precisely defined: automatic entry occurs when VIN > VOUT_TARGET + 30 mV (hysteresis), exit at VOUT_TARGET – 50 mV; forced bypass is activated by pulling BYP low, disabling most internal circuitry except UVLO and OTP monitoring during transition.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0 V (±4.0% accuracy over load/temperature) |
| Max Continuous Output Current | 2500 mA at VIN ≥ 3.6 V; derates with lower VIN per Figure 24 |
| Peak Pulse Current | 3.5 A for GSM PA burst (1-slot), VIN = 3.1 V, VOUT = 3.4 V - not applicable at 5.0 V output |
| Efficiency | Up to 94% at 1 A, VIN = 3.6 V, VOUT = 5.0 V (Figure 11) |
| Quiescent Current | 6–12 µA in forced bypass mode; 140–190 µA in auto-bypass (VIN = 3.6 V, VOUT = 5.0 V) |
| Switching Frequency | ~2.5 MHz typical in CCM; varies with load/VIN (Figure 30) |
| UVLO Threshold | 2.20–2.35 V rising; 200 mV hysteresis ensures stable enable/disable |
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: θJA = 60 °C/W on 4-layer evaluation board.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1 EN | Enable control input | Active-high logic (VIH ≥ 1.05 V); enables full regulation or forces shutdown with 4–12 µA IQ |
| A2 PG | Open-drain Power Good flag | Pulled low on fault (overload, thermal, UVLO) or OVP; released high only after successful soft-start completion |
| A3, A4 VIN | Main input power connection | Accepts 2.5–5.5 V; connects directly to Li-ion battery; requires 10 µF X5R 0603 input capacitor |
| B1 VSEL | Output voltage select | Unused for FAN48623UC50X (fixed 5.0 V); tied to AGND or left floating per design |
| B3, B4 VOUT | Regulated output node | Delivers 5.0 V ±4%; requires 2×22 µF X5R 0603 output capacitors placed adjacent to PGND pins |
| C1 BYP | Forced bypass mode control | Active-low input; pulls Q1/Q3 fully on to create low-impedance VIN→VOUT path; disables switching and most bias circuits |
| C3, C4 SW | Switching node | Connects to 0.47 µH inductor; carries high di/dt; must be routed short/wide with ground shielding |
| D1 AGND | Analog ground reference | Signal ground for internal references; must tie to PGND at single point near device |
| D2–D4 PGND | Power ground return | Low-impedance return for inductor current and output capacitor; shortest possible path required |
| B2, C2 NC | No internal connection | Bumps present but unconnected; recommended to tie to PGND for mechanical stability and thermal conduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| True bypass operation | VIN-to-VOUT path resistance < 50 mΩ when VIN > 5.03 V, enabling ultra-low dropout and sub-12 µA quiescent current |
| Synchronous rectification | Integrated Q1/Q1B and Q3/Q3B MOSFETs eliminate external Schottky loss, enabling >94% peak efficiency at 5.0 V output |
| Load disconnect capability | Internal isolation prevents reverse current flow from VOUT to VIN during shutdown or fault, protecting battery and system |
| Short-circuit protection | Valley-current limit of 4.7–5.3 A triggers fault state with 20 ms restart timer; active in both boost and bypass modes |
| Thermal management | OTP shutdown at 150°C junction; PG deasserts at 125°C with ~20°C hysteresis to warn before shutdown |

FAQ
What is the exact output voltage tolerance of the FAN48623UC50X?
The FAN48623UC50X provides a fixed 5.0 V output with ±4.0% accuracy over full load (0–2500 mA), temperature (−40°C to +85°C), and input voltage (2.5 V ≤ VIN ≤ VOUT_TARGET −100 mV). This specification is verified per datasheet Table 1, ensuring reliable operation for 5.0 V-tolerant PMICs and RF PAs without external feedback tuning.
Does the FAN48623UC50X support forced bypass mode, and how is it activated?
Yes, the FAN48623UC50X supports forced bypass mode via the BYP pin (C1). Pulling BYP low activates the mode, fully enhancing internal switches Q1 and Q3 to create a low-impedance VIN-to-VOUT path while disabling switching and most bias circuitry-reducing quiescent current to 6–12 µA. The FAN48623UC50X exits forced bypass when BYP is pulled high, initiating controlled transition back to boost mode.
Can the FAN48623UC50X be used with input voltages above 5.0 V?
No-the absolute maximum VIN rating for the FAN48623UC50X is 6.5 V, but recommended operating VIN is limited to 2.5–4.5 V per datasheet Section 4. Operating at VIN > 4.5 V risks violating the VOUT absolute max rating (6.0 V) during bypass and may exceed internal gate oxide limits. For 5.0 V output, VIN should remain ≤4.5 V to ensure reliability and thermal safety.
What is the minimum output capacitance required for stable operation of the FAN48623UC50X at 5.0 V?
Per Table 4 in the datasheet, the FAN48623UC50X requires a minimum effective output capacitance (CEFF(MIN)) of 6 µF for stable operation at 5.0 V output across 0–2500 mA load. Using two 22 µF, 0603, X5R, 10 V-rated capacitors (e.g., TDK C1608X5R1A226M080AC) achieves ≥44 µF total nominal capacitance and meets derated CEFF requirements even under 5.0 V DC bias.
How does the FAN48623UC50X handle over-temperature conditions?
The FAN48623UC50X monitors die temperature continuously. At 125°C, the PG pin de-asserts to signal thermal warning while maintaining regulation. If temperature exceeds 150°C, the device shuts down completely. Restart occurs automatically after cooling by ~20°C. This dual-threshold thermal response is built into the FAN48623UC50X silicon and requires no external components.
