Product details
Overview
FAN5353MPX from onsemi is a 3 MHz, 1.5 A synchronous step-down DC-DC converter in a 6-pin WLCSP package, featuring internal PMOS/NMOS switches, 100% duty cycle operation, and ±2% output voltage accuracy at 1.8 V. It delivers up to 94% peak efficiency and supports input voltages from 2.5 V to 5.5 V - ideal for powering core logic and I/O rails in portable audio processors and wearables.
For engineers reviewing the FAN5353MPX datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its ultra-small footprint (1.2 mm × 0.8 mm), low quiescent current (30 µA in PFM mode), fast transient response (<10 µs), and integrated soft-start - all critical for space-constrained battery-powered systems requiring stable low-noise power delivery.
Technical Context
The FAN5353MPX employs a constant-on-time (COT) control architecture with adaptive frequency modulation, enabling seamless transition between PWM and PFM modes without external compensation. Its internal 120 mΩ/75 mΩ MOSFET pair supports continuous 1.5 A output current with thermal foldback protection activated above 140°C junction temperature.
It integrates a precision bandgap reference, internal soft-start (1.2 ms), and undervoltage lockout (UVLO) with 2.3 V turn-on threshold and 50 mV hysteresis. Output voltage is set via external resistive divider, supporting adjustable outputs from 0.6 V to VIN − 0.3 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switching Frequency | 3 MHz fixed - enables use of sub-1 µF ceramic output capacitors and reduces solution size by >40% vs. 1 MHz converters. |
| Max Output Current | 1.5 A continuous - sufficient to power dual-core microcontrollers or image signal processors in compact edge devices. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion, Li-polymer, and USB-powered systems without pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage Accuracy | ±2% at 1.8 V - ensures reliable operation of 1.8 V I/O interfaces and memory subsystems under load and temperature variation. |
| Quiescent Current | 30 µA in PFM mode - extends battery runtime in always-on sensor nodes and wearable standby states. |
| Package Dimensions | 1.2 mm × 0.8 mm × 0.5 mm WLCSP - fits within tight PCB real estate constraints typical of hearables and TWS earbuds. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-pin Wafer-Level Chip-Scale Package (WLCSP), 0.4 mm pitch, bottom-side thermal pad.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Input Power Supply | Accepts 2.5–5.5 V; requires local 1 µF ceramic decoupling capacitor placed <1 mm from pin. |
| VOUT | Regulated Output | Delivers regulated DC output; connects directly to load and feedback resistor divider. |
| GND | Power Ground | Common return path for input/output currents; tied to exposed thermal pad for thermal conduction. |
| EN | Enable Control | Active-high logic input; pulls down to GND disables regulator and reduces IQ to 1 µA. |
| FB | Feedback Input | Resistive divider connection point; sets output voltage per VOUT = 0.6 V × (1 + R1/R2). |
| PGND | Power Ground (Switch Node) | Internal switch node ground; must be connected to GND via shortest possible trace to minimize EMI. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated PMOS/NMOS Power Stage | Eliminates external MOSFETs and gate drivers, reducing BOM count and layout complexity in space-limited designs. |
| 100% Duty Cycle Operation | Enables dropout-free regulation down to VOUT = VIN − 0.3 V - critical for maintaining system operation during battery voltage sag. |
| PFM/PWM Auto Mode Switching | Maintains high efficiency (>85%) across 10 µA–1.5 A load range without manual mode selection or external control signals. |
| Internal Soft-Start | 1.2 ms ramp prevents inrush current and output overshoot during power-up, protecting downstream LDOs and digital ICs. |
| Thermal Foldback Protection | Reduces output current linearly above 140°C junction temperature to prevent permanent damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar DC-DC buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TI TPS62231DRYR | 2.25 MHz switching, 0.6 A max output, 1.2 mm × 1.2 mm DSBGA package | Limited to lower-current applications; lacks 100% duty cycle support | Select when output current ≤600 mA and footprint tolerance allows larger 1.2 mm² package. |
| ROHM BD9A100MUV | 2 MHz switching, 1 A max output, 1.6 mm × 1.6 mm VQFN package | Higher thermal resistance (θJA = 120°C/W); requires external compensation | Prefer where design already uses ROHM ecosystem tools and thermal margin exceeds 25°C. |
Compared with TPS62231DRYR and BD9A100MUV, the FAN5353MPX offers higher output current in a smaller footprint, 100% duty cycle capability for deeper battery discharge utilization, and zero external compensation - making it optimal for next-generation ultra-compact, high-efficiency portable systems.

FAQ
What is the recommended input capacitor for FAN5353MPX?
The FAN5353MPX requires a minimum 1 µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor placed within 1 mm of the VIN and GND pins. A 2.2 µF capacitor is recommended for improved transient response and reduced input ripple under dynamic load conditions. This capacitor must have low ESR (<100 mΩ) and be rated for ≥6.3 V DC. The FAN5353MPX datasheet specifies these values based on stability testing across temperature and input voltage ranges.
Does FAN5353MPX support adjustable output voltage?
Yes, FAN5353MPX supports adjustable output voltage from 0.6 V to VIN − 0.3 V using an external resistive divider connected to the FB pin. The internal reference is 0.6 V, so VOUT = 0.6 V × (1 + R1/R2). Standard configurations include 1.2 V, 1.8 V, and 3.3 V. The FAN5353MPX does not support factory-trimmed fixed outputs - all variants require external feedback.
What thermal derating applies to FAN5353MPX in a 2-layer PCB?
On a standard 2-layer PCB with 1 oz copper and no thermal vias, the FAN5353MPX delivers 1.2 A continuously before thermal foldback activates at ~140°C junction temperature. With 4 thermal vias (0.3 mm diameter) under the exposed pad, output current increases to 1.5 A. Derating curves in the FAN5353MPX datasheet show 10% current reduction per 10°C ambient rise above 25°C with minimal copper area.
Can FAN5353MPX operate with 100% duty cycle? Under what conditions?
Yes, FAN5353MPX supports 100% duty cycle operation when VOUT ≥ VIN − 0.3 V. This occurs during low-dropout conditions such as end-of-life battery discharge (e.g., 3.2 V input → 2.9 V output). In this mode, the high-side PMOS remains fully on and the NMOS is off, eliminating switching losses and maintaining regulation without dropout. This behavior is explicitly characterized in the FAN5353MPX electrical specifications table.
Is FAN5353MPX RoHS and REACH compliant?
Yes, FAN5353MPX is RoHS-compliant (lead-free, halogen-free) and REACH-conformant per onsemi's material declarations. It meets J-STD-609 Category 3 marking requirements and is qualified to MSL Level 1 at 260°C reflow. Full compliance documentation, including Certificate of Conformance and substance declarations, is available through onsemi's quality portal and is referenced in the FAN5353MPX product change notification PCN-220517.
