Product details
Overview
FAN5307MP18X from Fairchild Semiconductor is a fixed-output 1.8V, synchronous step-down DC-DC converter optimized for battery-powered portable electronics. It delivers up to 300mA output current across a 2.5V–5.5V input range, operates at 1MHz PWM frequency with 95% peak efficiency, and features power-save mode with 15µA quiescent current - enabling extended runtime in cell phones and digital cameras.
For engineers reviewing the FAN5307MP18X datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 6-lead MLP 3×3mm package, fixed 1.8V output accuracy (±4%), dynamic voltage positioning for transient headroom, and integrated soft-start with 500µs typical startup time into 200mA load.
Technical Context
The FAN5307MP18X employs current-mode PWM control with automatic transition to pulse-frequency modulation (PFM) at light loads, maintaining high efficiency across 0.1mA–300mA output range. Its dual-ground architecture separates PGND and GND to minimize noise coupling and improve load transient response.
It integrates P- and N-channel MOSFETs with typical RDS(on) of 690mΩ (P-ch) and 540mΩ (N-ch) at 3.6V, supports 100% duty-cycle low-dropout operation, and includes over-voltage clamp (1.878–1.930V) and cycle-by-cycle current limiting (400–700mA) for robust protection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.8V ±4% - ensures stable core supply for low-power DSPs and baseband processors without external feedback resistors. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2V), Li-polymer, and dual-cell alkaline/NiMH batteries. |
| Max Output Current | 300mA - sufficient for powering RF transceivers, camera image sensors, or microcontroller cores in handheld devices. |
| Switching Frequency | 1MHz (800–1200kHz) - enables use of compact 10µH inductors and 10µF ceramic output capacitors, reducing solution footprint. |
| Quiescent Current | 15µA in Power-Save mode - extends battery life during standby or low-activity states in portable applications. |
| Efficiency | Up to 95% at 200mA/3.6V input - minimizes thermal dissipation in space-constrained PCB layouts. |
| Load Regulation | 0.0014%/mA (MLP package) - maintains tight output stability across full load range, critical for noise-sensitive analog circuits. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-lead Molded Leadless Package (MLP), 3mm × 3mm × 0.8mm, thermally enhanced with exposed PGND pad.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EN | Enable input | Active-high logic control; pulls supply current below 1µA in shutdown - enables system-level power sequencing. |
| GND | Reference ground | Analog reference return for internal error amplifier and feedback circuitry - must be isolated from high-current paths. |
| VIN | Input supply | Accepts 2.5–5.5V; requires local 4.7µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin for EMI suppression. |
| LX | Switch node | Connects to inductor; carries high di/dt switching current - demands short, wide trace routing to minimize ringing. |
| PGND | Power ground | High-current return path for internal N-MOSFET; tied directly to exposed thermal pad for optimal heat dissipation. |
| FB | Feedback input | Internally connected to 1.8V reference; shorted to VOUT in fixed-output version - no external resistor divider required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dynamic Voltage Positioning | Shifts output +0.8% above nominal during light-load PFM mode - provides headroom to absorb sudden load steps without undershoot. |
| Soft Start | Digital four-step current ramp limits inrush; achieves 500µs typical startup into 200mA load with 10µF COUT - prevents input rail collapse. |
| 100% Duty-Cycle Operation | Enables dropout as low as ILOAD × RDS(on) - sustains regulation when VIN approaches 1.8V, extending usable battery range. |
| Over-Voltage Clamp | 1.878–1.930V threshold - protects downstream 1.8V logic from transient overshoot during load release or mode transitions. |
| Integrated Current Limit | 400–700mA cycle-by-cycle protection - prevents thermal runaway during short-circuit or overload without external sensing components. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down DC-DC converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Texas Instruments TPS62231DRYR | 1.8V fixed output, 300mA, 2.05–6.0V input, 1.8MHz switching, 22µA IQ - higher frequency but wider input range and slightly higher quiescent current. | Supports higher VIN (up to 6V); less suitable for strict 2.5V minimum input systems like deeply discharged Li-ion. | Select when input rail may exceed 5.5V or when smaller inductor size (e.g., 4.7µH) is prioritized over lowest IQ. |
| Analog Devices ADP2105ARMZ-1.8-R7 | 1.8V fixed output, 600mA, 2.3–5.5V input, 3MHz switching, 30µA IQ - double current capability but higher quiescent current and no dynamic voltage positioning. | Targeted at higher-current applications; lacks DVP feature, resulting in larger transient undershoot during load steps. | Select when future-proofing for >300mA loads or when 3MHz operation is needed to avoid AM band interference. |
Compared with TPS62231DRYR and ADP2105ARMZ-1.8-R7, the FAN5307MP18X offers the lowest quiescent current (15µA) and unique dynamic voltage positioning - making it optimal for battery runtime-critical, low-noise portable designs where 300mA output suffices and input stays within 2.5–5.5V.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the FAN5307MP18X under full load and temperature range?
The FAN5307MP18X guarantees a fixed 1.8V output with ±4% accuracy across the full operating ambient temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), 2.5V–5.5V input, and 0–300mA load. This specification is verified per the Electrical Characteristics table for the fixed 1.8V version in the datasheet Rev. 1.0.5, ensuring reliable core voltage delivery for 1.8V logic interfaces without external trimming.
Does the FAN5307MP18X require external feedback resistors to set its output voltage?
No, the FAN5307MP18X does not require external feedback resistors. As a factory-configured fixed-output variant, its FB pin is internally connected to a precision 0.5V reference and the 1.8V output divider - eliminating external components and reducing layout sensitivity. This differs from the adjustable FAN5307MPX version, which requires an external resistor network.
How does the FAN5307MP18X manage efficiency at very light loads (e.g., <1mA)?
The FAN5307MP18X enters Power-Save Mode (PFM) below ~80mA load, reducing switching frequency and quiescent current to 15µA. At sub-mA loads, it pulses only as needed to maintain regulation - achieving >85% efficiency even at 0.1mA with 3.6V input, as shown in Figure 11 of the datasheet. This preserves battery capacity during device sleep states.
What is the recommended PCB layout practice for the PGND and GND pins on the FAN5307MP18X?
The FAN5307MP18X's 6-lead MLP package separates PGND (Pin 5) and GND (Pin 2) to isolate high-current power return from sensitive analog ground. Layout best practice requires connecting PGND directly to the exposed thermal pad and routing it separately to the input capacitor ground, while keeping GND a quiet, dedicated analog return path tied only to FB and EN. This separation improves noise immunity and transient response.
Can the FAN5307MP18X operate with a 2.5V input and still regulate 1.8V output reliably?
Yes, the FAN5307MP18X supports 100% duty-cycle operation down to 2.5V input, maintaining regulation with minimal dropout - VOUT = VIN − ILOAD × RDS(on). At 200mA and 2.5V input, typical dropout is ~140mV (using 690mΩ P-MOS RDS(on)), yielding ~2.36V - well above 1.8V. Full regulation is confirmed in the Recommended Operating Conditions table for VIN ≥2.5V.
