Product details
Overview
FAN5350UCX from onsemi is a 3MHz, 600mA synchronous step-down DC-DC converter in 5-bump WLCSP (1×1.37mm, 0.5mm pitch), delivering a fixed 1.82V output from 2.7V–5.5V input. It features 16µA quiescent current, power-save mode, soft-start, and integrated thermal shutdown - deployed in space-constrained portable electronics requiring high light-load efficiency and fast transient response.
For engineers reviewing the FAN5350UCX datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified package mapping, validated WLCSP pin functions, confirmed electrical specs including 1.82V ±2.4% output accuracy and 3MHz oscillator tolerance (±17%), and two field-validated alternative parts with documented functional trade-offs.
Technical Context
The FAN5350UCX uses a proprietary non-linear, fixed-frequency PWM modulator with seamless pulse frequency modulation (PFM) transition at light loads - enabling >80% efficiency down to 1mA while maintaining >90% at 600mA. Its architecture eliminates traditional feedback compensation, delivering instantaneous loop response without external compensation components.
It integrates synchronous PFET/NFET power switches (RDS(on) = 180mΩ/170mΩ), internal 1.8V reference, zero-crossing detection, and thermal shutdown (150°C trip, 20°C hysteresis). Input under-voltage lockout (UVLO) activates at 1.8–2.1V rising edge, ensuring clean startup across battery discharge profiles.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.82V ±2.4% (1.775–1.865V); enables direct powering of 1.8V logic rails without external resistive feedback. |
| Switching Frequency | 3.0MHz ±17% (2.5–3.5MHz); allows use of ultra-small 1µH inductor and 4.7µF ceramic capacitors, reducing board area by >40% vs. 1MHz buck converters. |
| Quiescent Current | 16µA typical in power-save mode; sustains >80% efficiency at 1mA load, critical for always-on subsystems in mobile devices. |
| Output Current | 600mA continuous; supports core voltage for low-power microcontrollers, Wi-Fi baseband ICs, and sensor hubs. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V; compatible with single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2V), Li-polymer, and 3.3V/5V system rails. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C junction trip with 20°C hysteresis; protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design without external monitoring. |
| Enable Threshold | EN HIGH ≥1.2V, LOW ≤0.4V; supports direct interfacing with 1.8V/3.3V GPIOs without level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 5-bump Wafer-Level Chip-Scale Package (WLCSP), 1.0 × 1.37 mm, 0.5 mm pitch, bumps facing down. Thermal resistance ΘJA = 180°C/W (4-layer JEDEC board).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1 | VIN | Main power input (2.7–5.5V); requires local 4.7µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to minimize input ripple and switching noise. |
| A3 | GND | Signal and power ground; must be connected to solid ground plane - shared with PGND/AGND in MLP variant but unified here. |
| C1 | EN | Active-high enable; <0.4V = shutdown (<1µA ISD), >1.2V = active; floating prohibited - requires pull-up or MCU control. |
| C3 | FB | Feedback node; internally tied to fixed 1.82V reference - no external resistor divider needed; connect directly to output capacitor. |
| B2 | SW | Switching node; connects to internal PFET drain and NFET source; requires low-inductance path to inductor and minimal copper area to reduce EMI. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous rectification | Integrated PFET/NFET switches (180mΩ/170mΩ) eliminate external diode loss, enabling >90% peak efficiency and eliminating heat sink requirements. |
| Power-save mode | Automatic PFM entry below ~100mA load; maintains 16µA IQ and <14mV VOUT glitch during PWM↔PFM transitions. |
| Soft-start | 300µs controlled ramp-up; limits inrush current and prevents output overshoot during EN assertion - no external timing capacitor required. |
| No external compensation | Proprietary non-linear control eliminates need for type-II/type-III compensation network - reduces BOM count and layout sensitivity. |
| UVLO and thermal protection | Integrated input UVLO (1.8–2.1V) and thermal shutdown (150°C) provide autonomous fault recovery without system-level supervision. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TI TPS62231DRYR | Fixed 1.8V output, 3MHz switching, 600mA, but uses external feedback for adjustable versions; 22µA IQ in PFM mode. | Requires external resistors for non-standard voltages; slightly higher IQ reduces battery life in ultra-low-power sleep modes. | Choose when flexibility to adjust output voltage is required; not drop-in for FAN5350UCX due to different pinout (5-pin WSON vs. 5-bump WLCSP) and FB configuration. |
| ROHM BD9A100MUV | 1.8V fixed output, 2.5MHz, 600mA, 19µA IQ, but only available in 6-pin DFN (2×2mm) - larger footprint than FAN5350UCX's 1×1.37mm WLCSP. | Larger package increases PCB area; thermal resistance ΘJA = 120°C/W vs. FAN5350UCX's 180°C/W - less suitable for sealed enclosures. | Prefer for designs needing higher thermal margin or simpler reflow profile; not pin-compatible - requires layout revision. |
Compared with TPS62231DRYR and BD9A100MUV, the FAN5350UCX offers the smallest footprint (1.37mm²), lowest quiescent current (16µA), and fully integrated fixed-feedback topology - making it optimal for ultra-compact, battery-sensitive applications where voltage adjustability is unnecessary.

FAQ
What is the recommended input capacitor for FAN5350UCX?
The FAN5350UCX requires a minimum 3.3µF ceramic input capacitor, with 4.7µF (X5R, 0603, 6.3V rating) specified as optimal. It must be placed as close as possible between the VIN and GND pins to minimize parasitic inductance - failure to do so causes input ringing and can degrade efficiency or cause erratic operation. The FAN5350UCX evaluation board uses Murata GRM39X5R475K6.3.
Does FAN5350UCX require an external feedback resistor network?
No, the FAN5350UCX does not require an external feedback resistor network. It features an internally trimmed 1.82V reference connected directly to the FB pin, which is intended to be tied to the output capacitor. This fixed-output architecture eliminates compensation components and simplifies layout - unlike adjustable buck converters such as the FAN5352 series.
What is the thermal performance difference between FAN5350UCX and FAN5350MPX?
The FAN5350UCX (WLCSP) has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (ΘJA) of 180°C/W on a 4-layer JEDEC board, while the FAN5350MPX (MLP) achieves 49°C/W. This means the MLP variant dissipates heat far more effectively - the WLCSP version reaches thermal shutdown faster under sustained 600mA loads in poorly ventilated layouts. Board-level thermal vias under the WLCSP die are strongly recommended.
Can FAN5350UCX operate with a 1.0µH inductor smaller than the recommended 1.0µH?
Yes, the FAN5350UCX is stable with inductors from 0.7µH to 3.0µH. Using a 0.7µH inductor improves transient response but increases output ripple and RMS current - potentially raising MOSFET conduction losses. The 1.0µH value is optimized for balance: it meets the 600mA current limit requirement while keeping ∆I within safe margins for the internal 800mA peak current limit.
What happens to FAN5350UCX during input voltage brownout?
When input voltage drops below the UVLO falling threshold (1.75–1.95V), the FAN5350UCX disables switching and enters a low-current state (~50nA). Output voltage collapses gradually as the output capacitor discharges. Once VIN rises above the UVLO rising threshold (1.8–2.1V), the device restarts with full soft-start - preventing uncontrolled turn-on or output overshoot during battery recovery.
