Product details
Overview
FAN53601UC182X-P from Fairchild Semiconductor is a 6 MHz, 600 mA synchronous buck regulator delivering a fixed 1.82 V output from 2.3–5.5 V input. It features 24 µA quiescent current in PFM mode, internal soft-start, and under-voltage lockout-designed for space-constrained mobile power rails in tablets and data cards.
For engineers reviewing the FAN53601UC182X-P datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its WLCSP-6 package, forced-PWM capability via MODE pin, light-load efficiency down to 1 mA, and compatibility with 470 nH inductors and 4.7 µF ceramic output capacitors.
Technical Context
The FAN53601UC182X-P uses a proprietary non-linear fixed-frequency PWM modulator with synchronous rectification, enabling 92% peak efficiency and stable 6 MHz operation across input voltages and load currents. Its control loop is independent of output capacitor ESR, supporting low-ESR ceramic capacitors without compensation.
It operates in auto PFM/PWM mode by default, switching seamlessly between continuous conduction mode (CCM) and discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) based on load. The MODE pin supports external clock synchronization at 1.3–1.7 MHz (×4 output), forced PWM, or automatic mode selection-enabling precise ripple and frequency control in noise-sensitive applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.82 V ±3.8% (1.755–1.885 V) over 0–600 mA load and –40°C to +85°C. |
| Max Output Current | 600 mA DC, with open-loop peak current limit of 900–1250 mA for robust startup into capacitive loads. |
| Switching Frequency | 6 MHz nominal (5.4–6.6 MHz) in PWM mode; enables ultra-small 470 nH inductor and 4.7 µF output capacitor. |
| Quiescent Current | 24 µA typical in PFM mode at no load-maintains >80% efficiency down to 1 mA load. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.3 V to 5.5 V-supports single-cell Li-ion, USB, and multi-rail portable systems without pre-regulation. |
| UVLO Threshold | Rising threshold 2.27 V ±0.12 V with 200 mV hysteresis-ensures clean startup and shutdown behavior. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at 150°C junction temperature with 15°C hysteresis-protects during sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-bump Wafer-Level Chip-Scale Package (WLCSP), 0.4 mm pitch, 1.16 mm × 0.86 mm footprint, 586 µm typical height.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1 | MODE | Selects operating mode: logic high forces PWM; logic low enables auto PFM/PWM transition; also accepts sync clock (1.3–1.7 MHz) for frequency locking. |
| B1 | SW | Switching node-connects directly to inductor; carries high di/dt pulsed current; requires low-inductance layout to minimize ringing. |
| C1 | FB | Feedback input-monitors regulated 1.82 V output; internally connected to precision voltage reference; no external resistor divider required. |
| C2 | GND | Power and signal ground-must be tied to common PCB ground plane; serves as reference for all analog and digital circuitry. |
| B2 | EN | Enable input-device enabled when voltage >1.2 V; disabled (<0.4 V) reduces supply current to <1 µA; must not float. |
| A2 | VIN | Main power input-accepts 2.3–5.5 V; requires local 2.2 µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin to suppress high-frequency switching noise. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-Ripple Light-Load PFM Mode | Delivers 24 µA IQ while maintaining tight output regulation and fast transient response-ideal for always-on system rails. |
| Forced PWM & External Sync | Eliminates frequency variation in noise-sensitive RF/analog sections; supports deterministic EMI filtering via fixed 6 MHz operation. |
| Internal Soft-Start | Controls output ramp rate (50 mV/µs to 1 V, then 12.5 mV/µs) to prevent inrush current and overshoot-no external components needed. |
| Optional Active Output Discharge | Not implemented in FAN53601UC182X-P (discharge disabled)-avoids unintended discharge path when EN is low. |
| Robust Protection Suite | Includes cycle-by-cycle current limiting, thermal shutdown (150°C), UVLO, and hiccup-mode fault recovery-reduces system-level reliability testing burden. |
Applications
| Tablet Core Logic Rail | Mobile Data Card SoC Supply |
|---|---|
|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP2143GQ-Z | 3 MHz switching, 1 A output, 2.5–5.5 V input, 28 µA IQ, QFN-10 package (2 mm × 2 mm). | Lower switching frequency increases inductor/capacitor size; higher current rating suits future-proofing but adds cost and thermal margin. | Choose MP2143GQ-Z if board layout allows larger passives and higher current headroom is needed beyond 600 mA. |
| TPS62231DRVR | 3 MHz, 600 mA, 2.05–6.0 V input, 17 µA IQ, WSON-6 (2 mm × 2 mm), fixed 1.8 V output. | 1.8 V output differs by 20 mV vs. FAN53601UC182X-P's 1.82 V; lower IQ but lacks MODE pin sync capability. | Choose TPS62231DRVR only if 1.8 V tolerance is acceptable and external clock synchronization is unnecessary. |
Compared with MP2143GQ-Z and TPS62231DRVR, the FAN53601UC182X-P offers superior high-frequency operation (6 MHz) for minimal passive size, exact 1.82 V output matching legacy designs, and unique MODE-pin flexibility-making it optimal for space- and noise-constrained mobile applications where 600 mA is sufficient.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the FAN53601UC182X-P over temperature and load?
The FAN53601UC182X-P delivers a fixed 1.82 V output with ±3.8% accuracy (1.755 V to 1.885 V) across full load range (0–600 mA) and operating temperature (–40°C to +85°C), as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under VO parameter for 1.820 V option. This tolerance includes line, load, and temperature effects-no external feedback resistors are used or required.
Does the FAN53601UC182X-P support external clock synchronization, and what frequency range is accepted?
Yes, the FAN53601UC182X-P supports external clock synchronization via the MODE pin. When driven with a square wave between 1.3 MHz and 1.7 MHz, the device synchronizes its internal 6 MHz switching frequency to exactly four times the input clock frequency. This capability enables deterministic EMI reduction and coexistence with other high-speed digital clocks in dense PCB layouts.
Is active output discharge enabled on the FAN53601UC182X-P, and how does it affect shutdown behavior?
No, active output discharge is disabled on the FAN53601UC182X-P (as indicated by "No" in the Ordering Information table for "Active Discharge"). During shutdown (EN < 0.4 V), the FB pin is left floating-no intentional discharge path is activated. Designers must provide external discharge circuitry if rapid VOUT decay is required after disable.
What are the minimum recommended external components for a basic FAN53601UC182X-P application?
The minimum recommended components are: a 470 nH shielded inductor (e.g., Murata LQM21PNR47MC0), a 2.2 µF X5R 0402 input capacitor placed adjacent to VIN/GND, and a 4.7 µF X5R 0402 output capacitor. These values enable full 6 MHz operation, meet ripple and transient requirements, and fit within the compact WLCSP-6 footprint constraints outlined in the Applications Information section.
How does the FAN53601UC182X-P handle thermal overload, and what is the shutdown hysteresis?
The FAN53601UC182X-P activates thermal shutdown at a nominal junction temperature of 150°C, disabling switching until the die cools by at least 15°C (hysteresis). Once below 135°C, normal operation resumes automatically. This protection prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or inadequate PCB thermal design-verified per JEDEC JESD51 thermal characterization.
