Product details
Overview
FAN53555UC00X from onsemi is a digitally programmable 5 A synchronous step-down DC-DC regulator with I²C interface, fixed 2.4 MHz switching frequency, and 0.6–1.23 V output voltage programmable in 10 mV steps. It delivers >80% efficiency from 10 mA to 5 A load, supports 330 nH inductors and 22 µF ceramic output capacitors, and targets core voltage regulation for ARM/Krait/OMAP processors in smartphones and tablets.
For engineers reviewing the FAN53555UC00X datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 20-bump WLCSP-1.6×2 mm package, PFM/PWM auto-mode transition at light loads, 60 µA quiescent current, programmable slew rate (0.5–64 mV/µs), and I²C-compatible interface up to 3.4 Mbps.
Technical Context
The FAN53555UC00X implements a proprietary non-linear fixed-frequency PWM modulator with synchronous rectification, enabling fast load transient response independent of output capacitor ESR. Its architecture maintains constant 2.4 MHz operation across input voltages (2.5–5.5 V) and load currents (0–5 A), eliminating frequency drift seen in conventional buck controllers.
It integrates dual voltage-select registers (VSEL0/VSEL1), hardware/software enable logic (EN + BUCK_EN bits), and dynamic voltage scaling via I²C. Power-save mode uses single-pulse PFM with 60 µA typical quiescent current, while forced PWM mode draws 43 mA - critical for noise-sensitive RF or audio subsystems requiring deterministic switching.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 5 A continuous; enables single-regulator core power for high-performance mobile SoCs without parallel phases. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.4 MHz nominal; allows ultra-compact 330 nH inductor and 22 µF ceramic output capacitor footprint. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5 V to 5.5 V; compatible with Li-ion battery (3.0–4.2 V), USB PD (5 V), and multi-rail PMIC outputs. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.6 V to 1.23 V in 10 mV steps; matches ARM Cortex-A series core voltage requirements with fine-grained DVS control. |
| I²C Interface Speed | Up to 3.4 Mbps (High-Speed Mode); supports rapid voltage transitions during CPU frequency scaling events. |
| Quiescent Current | 60 µA typical in PFM mode; extends battery runtime in always-on sensor or modem subsystems. |
| Package | 20-bump WLCSP, 1.6 × 2.0 mm; enables placement directly under processor die in fan-out wafer-level packaging (FO-WLP) designs. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 20-bump Wafer-Level Chip Scale Package (WLCSP), 1.6 mm × 2.0 mm, 0.4 mm pitch, bottom-side solder bumps.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1 | VSEL | Selects between VSEL0 (LOW) and VSEL1 (HIGH) register banks for dual-voltage configuration; no pull-up required. |
| A2 | EN | Hardware enable: LOW forces shutdown (<1 µA supply current); registers retained except on 04/24/042/79 options. |
| A3 | SCL | I²C clock input; supports Standard/Fast/Fast Plus/High-Speed modes up to 3.4 MHz with 400 pF bus capacitance. |
| A4 | VOUT | Output voltage sense node; must connect directly to COUT anode with minimal trace length to avoid regulation error. |
| B1 | SDA | I²C bidirectional data line; open-drain structure requires external pull-up to VDD (1.8 V typical). |
| B2–B3, C1–C4 | GND | Power ground return for low-side MOSFET and input/output capacitors; multiple pins reduce impedance and improve EMI. |
| B4 | AGND | Analog ground reference for internal DAC and error amplifier; isolated from digital GND to minimize noise coupling. |
| D1–D2, E1–E2 | VIN | Main input power rail (2.5–5.5 V); connects to CIN with shortest possible path to minimize high di/dt loop area. |
| D3–D4, E3–E4 | SW | Switching node connecting to inductor; high dv/dt node requiring tight layout and guard ring to adjacent analog traces. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Digitally programmable output | 0.6–1.23 V in precise 10 mV steps via I²C; eliminates external resistor networks and enables real-time DVS during CPU DVFS. |
| Programmable slew rate | Eight selectable rates (0.5–64 mV/µs) via CONTROL register; prevents overshoot/undershoot during voltage transitions across process/voltage/temperature corners. |
| PFM/PWM auto-mode transition | Seamless switch at ~10 mA load; maintains >80% efficiency from 10 mA to 5 A without audible coil whine or output ripple spikes. |
| Internal soft-start | Ramped reference minimizes inrush current into large output caps; supports startup into pre-biased loads without reverse current. |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS628640RQYR | 4 A max output, 1.8–5.5 V input, I²C interface up to 1 Mbps, 1.22 mm × 1.62 mm DSBGA | Limited to 4 A; lacks PFM/PWM auto-transition; lower I²C speed restricts DVFS responsiveness | Choose when board space is tighter than 1.6×2.0 mm and 4 A suffices; verify thermal margin with 1.22 mm package. |

FAQ
What is the default output voltage of the FAN53555UC00X at power-up?
The FAN53555UC00X powers up with a default output voltage of 1.05 V, as specified in Table 1 of the datasheet. This value corresponds to the VSEL0 register setting and is maintained until reprogrammed via I²C or toggled using the VSEL pin. The device retains register values during hardware shutdown (EN = LOW) unless configured as a reset-on-shutdown option like 04 or 24 - which does not apply to the FAN53555UC00X.
Does the FAN53555UC00X support forced PWM mode to eliminate frequency variation?
Yes, the FAN53555UC00X supports forced PWM mode via the MODE bit in the VSEL registers. When set HIGH, it disables PFM operation and locks the switching frequency at 2.4 MHz regardless of load current - essential for noise-sensitive applications like RF transceivers or high-speed ADCs. In this mode, quiescent current rises to 43 mA, but output ripple remains deterministic and EMI filtering becomes predictable.
What is the maximum pulse current capability of the FAN53555UC00X?
The FAN53555UC00X is rated for 5 A continuous output current, and its pulse current capability is not specified in the datasheet for the 00 option. Only the 05 variant (FAN53555UC05X) explicitly supports 6.5 A pulse current for 50 ms. Therefore, the FAN53555UC00X should be designed for sustained 5 A loads, with peak demands limited by thermal design and inductor saturation rating - not a guaranteed pulse spec.
Can the FAN53555UC00X start up into a pre-biased output capacitor?
Yes, the FAN53555UC00X supports startup into a pre-biased output capacitor. During soft-start, synchronous rectification is inhibited, allowing the high-side MOSFET to remain off while the low-side switch controls discharge - preventing reverse current flow. This behavior is confirmed in the Operation Description section and enables safe integration in multi-rail systems where other regulators may power auxiliary circuits before the FAN53555UC00X enables.
What external components are required for a typical FAN53555UC00X application?
A typical FAN53555UC00X application requires a 330 nH shielded power inductor (e.g., Vishay IHLP1616ABERR47M01), two 22 µF/6.3 V X5R 0805 output capacitors (44 µF total), one 10 µF/10 V X5R 0805 input capacitor, and one 10 nF/25 V X7R 0402 high-frequency bypass capacitor. These values are validated in Table 2 and Figure 1 of the datasheet for 5 A maximum load operation with optimal transient response and stability.
