Product details
Overview
FAN53555UC01X from onsemi is a digitally programmable 5 A synchronous step-down DC-DC regulator with I²C interface, fixed 2.4 MHz switching frequency, and 2.5 V–5.5 V input range. It delivers 0.90 V default output voltage, supports PFM/PWM mode auto-transition, and targets core power for mobile application processors in smartphones and tablets.
For engineers reviewing the FAN53555UC01X datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 5 A continuous output capability, 20-bump WLCSP-1.6×2 mm package, programmable slew rate control, I²C up to 3.4 Mbps, and thermal shutdown at 150°C.
Technical Context
The FAN53555UC01X uses a proprietary non-linear fixed-frequency PWM modulator with synchronous rectification, enabling fast load transient response while maintaining stable 2.4 MHz operation across input voltages (2.5–5.5 V) and loads (0–5 A). Its architecture eliminates ESR dependency, supporting low-ESR ceramic capacitors.
It operates in PFM mode below ~10 mA (quiescent current 60 µA typical), automatically switching to fixed-frequency PWM above that threshold. The EN pin controls hardware enable/disable, and VSEL selects between VSEL0/VSEL1 register banks - for FAN53555UC01X, VSEL=LOW sets 0.90 V default output without register reset on EN toggle.

FAQ
What is the default output voltage of the FAN53555UC01X and how is it set?
The FAN53555UC01X has a factory-default output voltage of 0.90 V, configured via the VSEL0 register bank. This value is selected when the VSEL pin is held LOW at power-on. Unlike some variants (e.g., 04/24), the FAN53555UC01X retains register values during EN pin toggling, allowing persistent configuration across sleep/wake cycles without reprogramming.
Does the FAN53555UC01X support dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) via I²C?
Yes, the FAN53555UC01X supports full DVS through its I²C interface (up to 3.4 Mbps). It allows real-time reprogramming of output voltage in 10 mV steps across 0.6–1.23 V, slew rate selection (0.5–64 mV/µs), PFM/PWM mode control, and enable/disable commands - all essential for coordinated DVFS with application processors.
What package type and dimensions does the FAN53555UC01X use?
The FAN53555UC01X uses a 20-bump Wafer-Level Chip Scale Package (WLCSP) measuring 1.6 mm × 2.0 mm with 0.4 mm bump pitch. This ultra-compact package minimizes PCB area and thermal resistance, making it suitable for thin-profile mobile devices where board space is at a premium.
How does the FAN53555UC01X manage efficiency across load ranges?
The FAN53555UC01X maintains >80% efficiency from 10 mA to 5 A by automatically transitioning between PFM (for light loads, IQ = 60 µA typical) and fixed-frequency PWM (2.4 MHz at heavy loads). This dual-mode operation eliminates efficiency cliffs and ensures optimal power conversion across all operating conditions without manual mode selection.
What protection features are integrated into the FAN53555UC01X?
The FAN53555UC01X integrates input under-voltage lockout (2.4 V threshold), input over-voltage protection (6.15 V shutdown), thermal shutdown (150°C with 17°C hysteresis), cycle-by-cycle current limiting (7.4 A typical peak), and soft-start with pre-bias support - providing comprehensive fault coverage for robust mobile power delivery.
