Product details
Overview
FAN53555BUC79X from onsemi is a 5 A, 2.4 MHz synchronous buck converter in WLCSP20 package with I²C interface, PGOOD output, and programmable VOUT (0.85 V fixed via internal VSEL mapping). It delivers up to 5 A continuous output current from 2.5–5.5 V input, supports PFM/PWM auto-mode operation, and targets core voltage regulation for mobile SoCs including ARM-based processors.
For engineers reviewing the FAN53555BUC79X datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its fixed 0.85 V output, PGOOD monitoring capability, 20-ball WLCSP footprint, I²C programmability (3.4 Mbps), and thermal performance in high-density portable designs.
Technical Context
The FAN53555BUC79X integrates dual MOSFETs (RDS(on) = 28 mΩ high-side, 17 mΩ low-side) and operates with a fixed 2.4 MHz switching frequency, enabling compact 330 nH inductor and low-ESR ceramic capacitor designs. Its control loop supports automatic transition between PFM (60 µA quiescent current) and PWM modes based on load conditions.
I²C register access enables dynamic VOUT adjustment (though FAN53555BUC79X is factory-configured to 0.85 V), slew rate control (0.5–64 mV/s), and status monitoring via PGOOD. The device includes UVLO (2.35–2.45 V), OVP (6.15 V), thermal shutdown (150 °C), and current-limit protection (6.3–8.5 A peak).

FAQ
What is the fixed output voltage of the FAN53555BUC79X?
The FAN53555BUC79X is factory-configured to deliver a fixed 0.85 V output voltage, verified by its DIE_ID = 0010 in register ID1 (address 0x03). This eliminates the need for external feedback resistors and simplifies layout for core voltage rails in ARM-based SoCs.
Does the FAN53555BUC79X support I²C programming despite its fixed output?
Yes, the FAN53555BUC79X retains full I²C functionality including register read/write access for slew rate control, MODE selection, and status monitoring (e.g., PGOOD, thermal flag). While VOUT is fixed at 0.85 V, I²C enables dynamic configuration of other critical parameters in the FAN53555BUC79X.
What is the purpose of the PGOOD pin on the FAN53555BUC79X?
The PGOOD pin on the FAN53555BUC79X is an active-high open-drain output that signals when the output voltage is within ±3% of 0.85 V and all fault conditions (UVLO, OVP, thermal shutdown) have cleared. It interfaces directly with SoC power sequencers or PMICs to coordinate system boot and reset sequences in the FAN53555BUC79X.
What inductor value is recommended for the FAN53555BUC79X?
The FAN53555BUC79X is optimized for a 330 nH shielded power inductor (e.g., MMD−04ABNR33M or VLC5020T−R47M), as specified in the datasheet for 2.4 MHz operation. Using this value ensures stable CCM/PFM boundary operation, minimal output ripple (<20 mVpp), and optimal efficiency across the 0–5 A load range in the FAN53555BUC79X.
Is the FAN53555BUC79X pin-compatible with other variants in the FAN53555 family?
Yes, all FAN53555 variants-including FAN53555BUC79X-share identical WLCSP20 (2.015 × 1.615 mm) packaging and pinout. This allows direct substitution across the family (e.g., FAN53555BUC13X, FAN53555BUC23X) without PCB changes, provided the application's VOUT, current, and feature requirements align with the FAN53555BUC79X specifications.
