Product details
Overview
FAN53600AUC33X from ON Semiconductor is a 3 MHz, 600 mA synchronous step-down DC-DC regulator in WLCSP-6 package, delivering fixed 3.3 V output from 2.3–5.5 V input. It features 26 µA typical quiescent current, internal soft-start, and selectable PFM/PWM operation via MODE pin-designed for power management in compact mobile applications such as WiFi data cards and ultra-portable PCs.
For engineers reviewing the FAN53600AUC33X datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 3.3 V fixed output, 600 mA capability, 3 MHz switching frequency, WLCSP-6 footprint, and support for external clock synchronization and active discharge.
Technical Context
FAN53600AUC33X employs a proprietary non-linear PWM modulator with synchronous rectification to achieve up to 97% peak efficiency and fast load transient response. Its control architecture maintains stable 3 MHz switching across wide VIN (2.3–5.5 V) and IOUT (0–600 mA) ranges while supporting seamless PFM-to-PWM transition.
The device integrates UVLO (2.27 V threshold), thermal shutdown (150°C), overcurrent protection with 16-cycle fault latching, and a dedicated MODE pin enabling forced PWM mode or external clock synchronization at 1.3–1.7 MHz (doubling to 2.6–3.4 MHz). Internal soft-start enforces 50 mV/µs then 12.5 mV/µs output ramp-up.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3 V ±3.0% over 0–600 mA load and –40°C to +85°C ambient. |
| Max Output Current | 600 mA continuous; peak current limit 900–1250 mA ensures robust startup and transient handling. |
| Switching Frequency | 3.0 MHz nominal; supports external sync up to 1.7 MHz on MODE pin for EMI reduction. |
| Quiescent Current | 26 µA typical in PFM mode-enables >100-hour battery life in always-on IoT sensors. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.3 V to 5.5 V-compatible with single-cell Li-ion, Li-poly, and 3.3 V/5 V system rails. |
| Package | WLCSP-6, 0.4 mm pitch, 1.16 × 0.86 mm footprint-optimized for space-constrained mobile PCBs. |
| Thermal Protection | Thermal shutdown at 150°C with 15°C hysteresis prevents damage during sustained overload. |
Pinout & Package
Package: Wafer-Level Chip-Scale Package (WLCSP-6), 0.4 mm ball pitch, 1.16 mm × 0.86 mm body, 586 µm typical height. Land pattern uses NSMD pads per JEDEC MO-220 standard.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| B1 | SW | Switch node connecting to external 1 µH inductor; carries high di/dt switching current. |
| C1 | FB | Feedback input tied to output via resistor divider (not used for fixed-VOUT variants like FAN53600AUC33X). |
| C2 | GND | Power and signal ground reference; must be low-inductance connection to minimize noise and EMI. |
| B2 | EN | Enable input: <0.4 V = shutdown (<1 µA IQ); >1.2 V = active; includes internal pull-down. |
| A2 | VIN | Main input supply (2.3–5.5 V); requires local 2.2 µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62231DRYR | 3 MHz, 600 mA, 3.3 V fixed; 17 µA IQ; WSON-6 (2.0 × 2.0 mm) | Larger footprint (+2.5× area); no MODE pin sync; lower IQ but no active discharge | Preferred where board space allows larger package and active discharge is unnecessary. |
| RT8059ZSP | 3 MHz, 600 mA, 3.3 V fixed; 25 µA IQ; WDFN-6 (1.5 × 1.5 mm) | Smaller than WLCSP but larger than FAN53600AUC33X; no external sync; no active discharge | Consider when footprint constraints exclude WLCSP but require sub-2 mm² solution. |
Compared with TPS62231DRYR and RT8059ZSP, FAN53600AUC33X offers the smallest board footprint (1.16 × 0.86 mm), integrated active discharge, and MODE-pin-based clock synchronization-making it optimal for ultra-dense mobile designs requiring precise power sequencing and EMI control.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of FAN53600AUC33X over full load and temperature?
FAN53600AUC33X delivers 3.3 V output with ±3.0% accuracy across 0–600 mA load and –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature, verified per electrical characteristics table in the datasheet. This tolerance holds regardless of input voltage within 2.3–5.5 V range and includes effects of FB divider tolerance (not applicable for fixed-output variant) and internal reference drift.
Does FAN53600AUC33X support external clock synchronization, and what is the valid frequency range?
Yes, FAN53600AUC33X supports external clock synchronization via the MODE pin. When driven with a square wave, it locks to frequencies between 1.3 MHz and 1.7 MHz, and operates at exactly twice that input frequency-yielding synchronized switching from 2.6 MHz to 3.4 MHz. This feature reduces EMI peaks and enables multi-regulator phase alignment.
What is the purpose of the MODE pin on FAN53600AUC33X, and how should it be configured?
The MODE pin on FAN53600AUC33X serves dual functions: logic-level mode selection (high = forced PWM, low = auto PFM/PWM) and external clock input. It must never be left floating. For fixed-frequency operation, tie MODE to VIN; for PFM efficiency optimization, tie to GND; for synchronization, drive with 1.3–1.7 MHz square wave referenced to GND.
How does the active output discharge function work in FAN53600AUC33X, and when is it enabled?
FAN53600AUC33X provides active output discharge through an internal 230 Ω switch from FB to GND, activated automatically when EN is pulled low. This discharges the output capacitor rapidly-critical for safe power-down sequencing in multi-rail systems. The function is factory-enabled for all AUCx variants including FAN53600AUC33X and requires no external components.
What are the recommended external components for FAN53600AUC33X, and why is layout critical?
FAN53600AUC33X requires three external components: 1 µH inductor (e.g., Murata LQM2MPN1R0MGH), 2.2 µF X5R input capacitor placed adjacent to VIN/GND pins, and 10 µF X5R output capacitor. Layout is critical because high di/dt SW node routing and minimized GND loop inductance directly impact EMI, efficiency, and transient response-especially given the 3 MHz switching frequency.
