Product details
Overview
FAN53555UC05X from onsemi is a digitally programmable 5 A synchronous buck regulator with I²C interface, fixed 2.4 MHz switching frequency, and 0.6–1.23 V output voltage range in 10 mV steps. It delivers 6.5 A pulse current capability (05 option), operates from 2.5–5.5 V input, and targets core power delivery for mobile application processors requiring fast transient response and high light-load efficiency.
For engineers reviewing the FAN53555UC05X datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 20-bump WLCSP-1.6×2 mm package, PFM/PWM auto-mode transition, programmable slew rate, and integrated thermal/overcurrent protection - all critical for compact, battery-powered SoC power rails.
Technical Context
The FAN53555UC05X uses a proprietary non-linear fixed-frequency PWM modulator with synchronous rectification to maintain 2.4 MHz operation across load and input voltage variations while delivering 5 A continuous and 6.5 A pulse current. Its architecture eliminates ESR dependency, enabling stable ceramic capacitor use.
It integrates an I²C interface supporting up to 3.4 Mbps (High-Speed Mode), allowing dynamic reprogramming of output voltage, PFM enable/disable, and slew rate control. The device supports hardware enable via EN pin and software enable via BUCK_EN bits, with register retention during shutdown (except reset options).

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/VSEL1 register banks; LOW = VSEL0, HIGH = VSEL1 - enables dual-voltage configuration without I²C traffic |
| A2 | EN | Hardware enable; LOW = shutdown (ISD < 1 µA), registers retained - supports system-level power sequencing |
| A3 | SCL | I²C clock input; supports Standard/Fast/Fast-Plus/High-Speed modes up to 3.4 MHz - ensures robust DVS timing |
| A4 | VOUT | Output voltage sense point; must connect directly to COUT - critical for accurate regulation under high di/dt loads |
| B1 | SDA | I²C bidirectional data line; open-drain, requires pull-up - enables read/write access to all control registers |
| B2–B3, C1–C4 | GND | Power ground; low-side MOSFET reference and CIN/COUT return path - minimizes ground bounce in high-current paths |
| B4 | AGND | Analog ground; reference for internal circuits and feedback - must be isolated from noisy digital/power grounds |
| D1–D2, E1–E2 | VIN | Main input supply (2.5–5.5 V); connects to CIN with minimal loop area - reduces EMI and input ripple |
| D3–D4, E3–E4 | SW | Switching node; connects to inductor; high dV/dt node - requires tight layout to minimize radiated emissions |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Digitally programmable output | 0.6–1.23 V in 10 mV steps via I²C or VSEL pin - enables precise core voltage tuning for process/voltage/temp corners |

| Auto PFM/PWM mode transition | Seamless switch at ~10 mA load - maintains >80% efficiency from 10 mA to 5 A without audible noise or regulation loss |
| Internal soft-start | ~300 µs to regulated VOUT - limits inrush current into large output capacitance and prevents input droop |
| Comprehensive protection | UVLO (2.4 V), OVP (6.2 V), thermal shutdown (150°C), and peak current limit (10 A for 05 option) - ensures robust operation under fault conditions |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS628641RQYR | 4 A continuous, 1.8 MHz, I²C-programmable, 0.3–1.5 V output; smaller 1.2×1.6 mm QFN | Limited pulse current (5.5 A) and lower max output current - suitable for mid-tier processors but not high-performance burst loads | Choose when board space is more constrained than peak current demand and 4 A continuous suffices |
| MP2143GQZ-12 | 5 A continuous, 2.2 MHz, analog-programmable (resistor-set), no I²C; 3×3 mm QFN | No digital interface or DVS capability - requires fixed output or external DAC for voltage scaling | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where dynamic voltage scaling is unnecessary and analog control is acceptable |
Compared with TPS628641RQYR and MP2143GQZ-12, the FAN53555UC05X uniquely combines 5 A continuous + 6.5 A pulse delivery, 2.4 MHz switching, and full I²C programmability in a 1.6×2.0 mm WLCSP - making it optimal for space-limited, high-performance mobile SoC core rails demanding both burst capability and software-controlled DVS.

FAQ
What is the maximum pulse current rating for the FAN53555UC05X?
The FAN53555UC05X supports a maximum pulse current of 6.5 A for durations up to 50 ms, as specified in the ordering information table for the "05" option. This capability is enabled by its higher peak current limit (10 A typical) and optimized thermal design, making it suitable for handling CPU/GPU burst loads in mobile devices without requiring external current boosting circuitry.
Does the FAN53555UC05X retain register settings during shutdown?
Yes, the FAN53555UC05X retains all register values when the EN pin is pulled LOW, as confirmed in Table 1 and the Operation Description section. Unlike options 04, 24, 042, and 79, the 05 variant does not reset registers on hardware shutdown - enabling seamless resume of configured output voltage, PFM mode, and slew rate after wake-up.
What is the recommended output capacitor configuration for the FAN53555UC05X?
The recommended output capacitor configuration for the FAN53555UC05X is two 22 µF, 6.3 V, X5R, 0805 ceramic capacitors (total 44 µF), as specified in Table 2. This value ensures stable regulation during load transients while maintaining compatibility with the 2.4 MHz switching frequency and low-ESR ceramic requirements.
Can the FAN53555UC05X operate with a 3.3 V input supply?
Yes, the FAN53555UC05X operates reliably with a 3.3 V input supply, as its specified input voltage range is 2.5 V to 5.5 V. At 3.3 V input and 1.2 V output, typical efficiency exceeds 88% at 2 A load (per Figure 7), and the device maintains full functionality including I²C communication, PFM/PWM mode transition, and protection features.
What is the purpose of the VSEL pin on the FAN53555UC05X?
The VSEL pin on the FAN53555UC05X selects between two pre-programmed output voltage registers: LOW selects VSEL0 (default 0.90 V), HIGH selects VSEL1 (default OFF). This hardware-selectable dual-voltage feature enables simple boot-time voltage selection or static configuration without I²C traffic, complementing full digital control via the I²C interface.
