Product details
Overview
FAN53528DUC40X from onsemi is a digitally programmable 3.0 A synchronous buck regulator with I²C interface, fixed 2.4 MHz switching frequency, 0.35 V–1.14375 V output voltage range in 6.25 mV steps, and 2.5 V–5.5 V input range-designed for core voltage regulation in ARM-based application processors.
For engineers reviewing the FAN53528DUC40X datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its PFM/PWM auto-mode operation, 50 µA quiescent current in light-load PFM mode, 15-bump WLCSP package (1.310 mm × 2.015 mm), and support for high-speed I²C up to 3.4 Mbps.
Technical Context
The FAN53528DUC40X implements a proprietary non-linear fixed-frequency PWM modulator with synchronous rectification, enabling >80% efficiency across 10 mA–3.0 A load range while maintaining constant 2.4 MHz operation under varying VIN and load conditions. Its architecture eliminates ESR dependency, allowing stable regulation with low-ESR ceramic capacitors.
It integrates dual VSEL register banks (VSEL0 = 0.6 V, VSEL1 = 0.9 V default), hardware EN control with internal 250 kΩ pull-down, and programmable slew rate (0.5–64 mV/s) for controlled voltage transitions-enabling precise sequencing in multi-rail SoC power systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 3.0 A continuous-supports full-core operation of ARM/Tegra/OMAP processors without thermal derating. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.4 MHz nominal-enables use of compact 330 nH inductors and reduces EMI filtering requirements. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5 V to 5.5 V-compatible with single-cell Li-ion, USB PD, and intermediate bus architectures. |
| Digital Output Programming | 0.35 V–1.14375 V in 6.25 mV steps via I²C-provides fine-grained core voltage tuning for dynamic voltage/frequency scaling (DVFS). |
| Quiescent Current | 50 µA typical in PFM mode-minimizes standby power in always-on subsystems like modem or sensor hubs. |
| Package | 15-bump WLCSP, 1.310 mm × 2.015 mm, 0.4 mm pitch-ultra-compact footprint for space-constrained mobile PCBs. |

Pinout & Package
Package: 15-bump Wafer-Level Chip Scale Package (WLCSP), 1.310 mm × 2.015 mm, 0.4 mm ball pitch, Case 567QS.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (A1, B1, C1) | Power Input | Connects directly to input source (2.5–5.5 V); requires low-inductance path to CIN for stability. |
| SW (A2, B2) | Switching Node | Drives external inductor; high di/dt node requiring tight layout and minimal loop area. |
| PGND (A3, B3, C2) | Power Ground | Reference for low-side MOSFET and output capacitor return; must be tied to CIN/COUT ground planes with minimal impedance. |
| AGND (C3, E1) | Analog Ground | Reference for feedback, I²C, and control logic; isolated from PGND to prevent noise coupling into regulation loop. |
| VOUT (E3) | Output Sense | Direct connection to output capacitor; used for closed-loop regulation and PGOOD monitoring. |
| VSEL (D1) | Voltage Select Control | Selects between VSEL0 (0.6 V) or VSEL1 (0.9 V) register bank; internal 250 kΩ pull-down enables default Auto PFM mode at power-up. |
| EN (D2) | Enable Input | Active-high enable with internal pull-down; asserts shutdown (<1 µA IQ) when low; retains register state during disable. |
| SCL (E2) | I²C Clock Input | Accepts standard/fast/fast-plus/high-speed I²C clocks up to 3.4 MHz; open-drain compatible. |
| SDA (D3) | I²C Data Bidirectional | Open-drain I²C data line; supports ACK/NACK and repeated START for register reads/writes. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| PFM/PWM Auto-Mode Transition | Seamless switch between high-efficiency PFM (50 µA IQ) at light loads and fixed-frequency PWM (2.4 MHz) at heavy loads-no external control required. |
| Programmable Slew Rate | Eight selectable rates (0.5–64 mV/s) via CONTROL register-prevents overshoot/undershoot during DVFS transitions and ensures safe SoC rail sequencing. |
| Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO) | 2.45 V threshold with 350 mV hysteresis-guarantees clean startup and prevents brown-out operation during battery discharge. |
| Thermal Shutdown Protection | 150 °C activation with 17 °C hysteresis-protects die during sustained overload or poor heatsinking without latch-up. |
| Output Discharge Control | Software-configurable internal 11 Ω pull-down (via OUTPUT_DISCHARGE bit)-enables safe discharge of VOUT during shutdown for system-level power sequencing. |

FAQ
What is the default output voltage of the FAN53528DUC40X at power-up?
The FAN53528DUC40X powers up with VSEL pin pulled low internally, selecting the VSEL0 register bank. Per the ordering table, FAN53528DUC40X has VSEL0 = 0.6 V and VSEL1 = 0.9 V. Therefore, its default output voltage is 0.6 V unless modified via I²C write to the VSEL0 register after startup. This value is stored in nonvolatile configuration and persists across EN toggles.
Does the FAN53528DUC40X support true hardware shutdown with zero output current?
Yes-the FAN53528DUC40X enters hardware shutdown when the EN pin is driven LOW, reducing supply current to ≤3.0 µA (typical 0.1 µA). In this state, the internal regulator is fully disabled, the SW node is high-impedance, and VOUT collapses. The I²C interface remains accessible as long as VIN exceeds UVLO (2.45 V), allowing register reads/writes without exiting shutdown.
How does the FAN53528DUC40X handle load transients at 0.4 V output?
The FAN53528DUC40X delivers ±20 mV load transient response for 10 mA ↔ 700 mA steps at 0.4 V output in Auto Mode (Figure 14), achieved through its proprietary non-linear PWM modulator and synchronous rectification. This performance is maintained across temperature (−40°C to +85°C) and input voltage (3.2 V–3.8 V), making it suitable for ARM core rails where tight voltage tolerance is mandatory during sudden compute bursts.
Can the FAN53528DUC40X operate without an external inductor?
No-the FAN53528DUC40X is a synchronous buck controller requiring an external inductor (recommended 330 nH or 470 nH) and output capacitors. It does not integrate power switches capable of standalone operation. Attempting operation without L1 will result in immediate failure due to uncontrolled current flow through the internal high-side MOSFET and thermal shutdown activation within microseconds.
What I²C slave address does the FAN53528DUC40X use?
The FAN53528DUC40X uses I²C slave address 0xA4 (7-bit address 0x52, with R/W bit appended), as specified in Table 12 for all DUCxx, EUCxx, and GUCxx variants. This differs from BUCxx parts (0xA0). The address is hardwired and not user-programmable; multiple FAN53528DUC40X devices on the same bus require address multiplexing via GPIO or external I²C switch.
