Product details
Overview
FAN53526UC84X from onsemi is a digitally programmable 3.0 A synchronous step-down DC-DC regulator with I²C interface, 2.4 MHz fixed switching frequency, 0.600 V to 1.39375 V output voltage range in 6.25 mV steps, and input voltage support from 2.5 V to 5.5 V. It delivers high efficiency (>80%) across 10 mA–3.0 A load range and is used for core voltage regulation in mobile application processors.
For engineers reviewing the FAN53526UC84X datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 15-bump WLCSP package, programmable slew rate (0.5–64 mV/s), PFM/PWM auto-mode transition behavior, and thermal shutdown at 150 °C with 17 °C hysteresis.
Technical Context
The FAN53526UC84X implements a proprietary non-linear fixed-frequency PWM modulator with synchronous rectification, enabling fast load transient response independent of output capacitor ESR. Its architecture supports seamless transition between continuous conduction mode (CCM) and discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) single-pulse PFM at light loads.
Control is delivered via an I²C interface compliant with Standard, Fast, Fast Plus, and High-Speed (3.4 Mbps) modes using slave address 0xC0. Voltage selection is dual-path: hardware-selectable via VSEL pin (choosing between VSEL0/VSEL1 registers) and software-programmable through 7-bit NSEL fields, with power-up default output set to 1.125 V.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the default output voltage of the FAN53526UC84X at power-up?
The FAN53526UC84X powers up with a default output voltage of 1.125 V, as specified in Table 1 of the datasheet for part number FAN53526UC84X. This value corresponds to the VSEL0 register setting and is active when the VSEL pin is held low. The device retains register contents during hardware shutdown (EN = LOW), allowing consistent boot behavior across power cycles.
Does the FAN53526UC84X support I²C High-Speed Mode, and what is its slave address?
Yes, the FAN53526UC84X supports I²C High-Speed Mode up to 3.4 Mbps. Its default 7-bit slave address is 0xC0 (1100000b), with the R/W bit appended to form an 8-bit address. This address is fixed for FAN53526UC84X per Table 12; other variants like FAN53526UC168X use 0xC2. No address configuration pins or registers are provided - the address is hardwired.
How does the FAN53526UC84X handle output voltage transitions, and can the slew rate be controlled?
The FAN53526UC84X supports programmable positive-going voltage transition slew rates via the SLEW bits (bits 6–4) in the CONTROL register (0x02). Eight discrete settings are available from 0.5 mV/s to 64 mV/s. Negative transitions rely on load discharge; the IC halts switching until VOUT reaches the new setpoint. This control prevents overshoot and ensures clean state transitions during DVFS.
What protection features are integrated into the FAN53526UC84X?
The FAN53526UC84X integrates input under-voltage lockout (UVLO, 2.45 V threshold), input over-voltage protection (OVP, 6.15 V shutdown), thermal shutdown (150 °C with 17 °C hysteresis), and peak current limiting (4.75 A typical). It also includes output discharge capability via the OUTPUT_DISCHARGE bit and soft-start current limiting to prevent inrush during startup.
Is the FAN53526UC84X pin-compatible with other variants in the FAN53526 family?
Yes, all FAN53526 variants-including FAN53526UC84X, FAN53526UC89X, and FAN53526UC100X-share identical 15-bump WLCSP packaging, pinout, and mechanical footprint (case 567QS). Differences are limited to factory-programmed default voltages (VSEL0/VSEL1) and I²C slave addresses; no PCB redesign is needed when substituting within the family for voltage or addressing adjustments.
