Product details
Overview
FAN53600AUC28X from ON Semiconductor is a 3 MHz, 600 mA synchronous step-down DC-DC regulator with fixed 2.8 V output, operating from 2.3 V to 5.5 V input. It integrates PMOS/NMOS power switches (175 mΩ/165 mΩ RDS(on)), features 26 µA typical quiescent current in PFM mode, and delivers up to 97% peak efficiency. It is designed for space-constrained mobile power rails in data cards and ultra-portable computing.
For engineers reviewing the FAN53600AUC28X datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its WLCSP-6 package footprint, MODE-pin-controllable PWM/autonomous PFM operation, 180–300 µs soft-start timing, and verified 2.702–2.898 V output voltage accuracy across 0–600 mA load and 3.8–5.0 V input.
Technical Context
The FAN53600AUC28X employs a proprietary non-linear fixed-frequency PWM modulator with seamless transition to pulse-frequency modulation (PFM) at light loads. Its control loop maintains stable 3 MHz switching across wide VIN (2.3–5.5 V) and IOUT (0–600 mA) ranges without requiring output capacitor ESR compensation.
It supports external clock synchronization via the MODE pin (1.3–1.7 MHz input yields 2× synchronized fSW), enables forced PWM mode, and integrates internal soft-start, UVLO (2.27 V threshold, 200 mV hysteresis), thermal shutdown (150°C), and active output discharge (230 Ω path).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.8 V ±3.5% (2.702–2.898 V) over full load and input range - ensures stable core logic rail for 2.8 V I/O interfaces. |
| Max Output Current | 600 mA continuous - sufficient for single-core application processors or RF front-end biasing in portable devices. |
| Switching Frequency | 3.0 MHz ±10% - enables use of compact 1 µH inductor and 10 µF ceramic output capacitor, minimizing board area. |
| Quiescent Current | 26 µA typical in PFM mode - extends battery life in always-on subsystems like modem standby or sensor hubs. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.3 V to 5.5 V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2 V), Li-polymer, or dual-cell NiMH inputs without pre-regulation. |
| Efficiency Peak | 97% at mid-load - reduces thermal dissipation in thermally constrained WLCSP-6 package (θJA = 125°C/W). |
| Soft-Start Time | 180–300 µs - prevents inrush current during power-up while maintaining fast system boot timing. |
Pinout & Package
Package: WLCSP-6 (Wafer-Level Chip-Scale Package), 0.4 mm ball pitch, 1.16 mm × 0.86 mm footprint, 586 µm typical height. Requires NSMD land pattern with 0.260 mm diameter solder mask opening per ball.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1 | MODE | Logic-controlled mode select: high = forced PWM; low = auto PFM/PWM transition; also accepts sync clock (1.3–1.7 MHz) for frequency locking. |
| B1 | SW | Switch node - connects directly to external inductor; carries high di/dt switching current; requires tight layout to minimize EMI and voltage spikes. |
| C1 | FB | Feedback input - internally connected to 2.8 V reference; no external resistor divider needed; sensitive to noise - must be routed away from SW. |
| C2 | GND | Power and signal ground - sole reference for all internal circuits; must be tied to low-impedance PCB ground plane under package. |
| B2 | EN | Enable input - active-high (VIH ≥ 1.2 V); < 0.4 V disables regulator and activates output discharge; 0.25–1.0 µA shutdown current. |
| A2 | VIN | Main power input - supplies internal LDOs and gate drivers; requires local 2.2 µF ceramic capacitor placed within 2 mm of pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low IQ PFM mode | 26 µA typical - enables >100-hour standby in battery-powered IoT nodes without compromising transient response. |
| Integrated active discharge | 230 Ω internal path from FB to GND when EN = low - ensures rapid output discharge for safe power sequencing in multi-rail systems. |
| Thermal and overload protection | 150°C junction shutdown with 15°C hysteresis and cycle-by-cycle current limiting (1.1 A typical peak) - prevents damage during short-circuit or overload faults. |
| High-efficiency synchronous rectification | 175 mΩ PMOS + 165 mΩ NMOS integrated switches - eliminates external Schottky loss, enabling 97% peak efficiency at 3.6 VIN/2.8 VOUT. |
| Robust input UVLO | 2.27 V turn-on threshold with 200 mV hysteresis - prevents erratic startup during brown-out conditions common in Li-ion discharge profiles. |

FAQ
What is the recommended inductor value for FAN53600AUC28X?
The FAN53600AUC28X is optimized for a 1 µH shielded power inductor rated for ≥600 mA saturation current and ≤190 mΩ DCR. Murata LQM21PN1R0MC0 is validated per datasheet Figure 4–26. Using 2.2 µH improves ripple but degrades transient response; values below 0.8 µH risk instability and excessive RMS losses.
Does FAN53600AUC28X require an external feedback resistor divider?
No. The FAN53600AUC28X has an internal 2.8 V reference connected directly to the FB pin. No external resistors are needed - FB must be connected only to the output capacitor's VOUT node. Adding external components to FB will disrupt regulation and void output accuracy guarantees.
How does the MODE pin affect FAN53600AUC28X operation?
When MODE is pulled high (>1.2 V), FAN53600AUC28X forces continuous PWM mode regardless of load. When MODE is low (<0.4 V), it enables automatic PFM/PWM transition. Applying a 1.3–1.7 MHz square wave to MODE synchronizes switching to twice that frequency - critical for EMI reduction in dense layouts.
What is the maximum allowable input voltage for FAN53600AUC28X?
The absolute maximum input voltage for FAN53600AUC28X is 7.0 V, but the recommended operating range is strictly 2.3 V to 5.5 V. Exceeding 5.5 V risks permanent damage to internal MOSFETs and gate drivers, even momentarily - design must include input clamping or upstream protection if VIN may surge.
Is FAN53600AUC28X RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes. FAN53600AUC28X is manufactured in compliance with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is lead-free. The WLCSP-6 package uses SnAgCu (SAC305) solder balls, and the device meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL-1) for unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/85% RH.
