Product details
Overview
FAN53610AUC29X from ON Semiconductor is a 3 MHz, 1 A synchronous step-down DC-DC regulator in WLCSP-6 package, delivering fixed 2.9 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 portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the FAN53610AUC29X datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 1 A output capability at 2.9 V, 3 MHz switching frequency enabling ultra-small 1 µH inductor use, low-noise PFM mode for battery-sensitive designs, and integrated thermal/overcurrent protection.
Technical Context
FAN53610AUC29X employs a proprietary non-linear fixed-frequency PWM modulator with seamless PFM-to-PWM transition, maintaining stable 3 MHz operation across wide VIN (2.3–5.5 V) and load (0–1 A) ranges. Its architecture eliminates ESR dependency, supporting ceramic output capacitors.
The device integrates high-side PMOS (175 mΩ RDS(on)) and low-side NMOS (165 mΩ RDS(on)) synchronous switches, with peak current limiting set to 1.5–2.0 A and thermal shutdown triggered at 150°C (15°C hysteresis). MODE pin enables external clock synchronization up to 1.7 MHz (doubling to 3.4 MHz).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.9 V ±3.5% over 0–1 A load and 2.3–5.5 V input-ensures stable core voltage for 2.8–3.0 V logic rails. |
| Max Output Current | 1 A continuous-supports high-efficiency power delivery to application processors or RF modules in mobile devices. |
| Switching Frequency | 3 MHz nominal (2.7–3.3 MHz)-enables use of 1 µH inductors and reduces solution footprint by >40% vs. 1 MHz regulators. |
| Quiescent Current | 26 µA typical in PFM mode-extends battery life in always-on subsystems like GPS or Bluetooth LE receivers. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.3 V to 5.5 V-compatible with single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2 V), USB 5 V, and boosted 3.3 V rails. |
| Efficiency Peak | 97% at 500 mA, 3.6 VIN/2.9 VOUT-minimizes thermal dissipation in thermally constrained WLCSP packages. |
| Thermal Protection | 150°C shutdown with 15°C hysteresis-prevents die damage during sustained overload or poor PCB heatsinking. |
Pinout & Package
Package: WLCSP-6, 0.4 mm pitch, 1.16 mm × 0.86 mm footprint, 586 µm typical height-optimized for space-constrained mobile PCBs with minimal thermal resistance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1 | MODE | Logic-controlled mode select: high = forced PWM (fixed 3 MHz), low = auto PFM/PWM; also accepts sync clock up to 1.7 MHz. |
| B1 | SW | Switch node connecting to external inductor-carries high di/dt; requires tight layout to minimize EMI and voltage spikes. |
| C1 | FB | Feedback input for output regulation-internally connected to 2.9 V reference; no external resistor divider needed. |
| C2 | GND | Power and signal ground reference-must be low-impedance connection to PCB ground plane beneath IC. |
| B2 | EN | Enable input: <0.4 V = shutdown (<1 µA IQ), >1.2 V = active; supports sequencing and system-level power control. |
| A2 | VIN | Main power input (2.3–5.5 V)-requires local 2.2 µF ceramic capacitor placed within 2 mm of pin to suppress switching noise. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low IQ PFM mode | 26 µA typical quiescent current enables >100-hour standby in coin-cell-powered IoT sensors. |
| Integrated soft-start | 300 µs typical ramp time prevents inrush current and output overshoot during power-up. |
| Active output discharge | 230 Ω internal discharge path when EN = GND-ensures fast, controlled VOUT decay for system safety and sequencing. |
| Robust protection suite | Includes UVLO (2.27 V threshold), overcurrent limiting (1.75 A typ), and thermal shutdown (150°C). |
| Small-solution optimization | Supports 1 µH inductor and 10 µF ceramic output capacitor-reduces total BOM count and board area vs. legacy 1 MHz designs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62260DRVR | 2.25 V–6.5 V input; 2.5 V–6.0 V adjustable output; 600 mA max; 2.25 MHz switching. | Requires external feedback resistors; lacks integrated 2.9 V option and active discharge. | Choose for adjustable-output systems needing wider VIN range and lower cost; not drop-in for fixed 2.9 V designs. |

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of FAN53610AUC29X across full load and temperature?
FAN53610AUC29X delivers 2.9 V output with ±3.5% tolerance (2.797–3.003 V) over 0–1 A load and –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature, verified at both 3.8 V and 5.0 V input. This specification ensures compatibility with 2.8–3.0 V logic families without requiring external trimming, and is guaranteed by internal precision feedback circuitry-not dependent on external components.
Does FAN53610AUC29X support external clock synchronization, and what is the valid frequency range?
Yes, FAN53610AUC29X supports external clock synchronization via the MODE pin, accepting square-wave inputs from 1.3 MHz to 1.7 MHz. The internal oscillator locks to twice the MODE pin frequency-enabling synchronized operation at 2.6–3.4 MHz. This feature allows noise-sensitive systems to avoid beat frequencies with other clock domains, and is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under fSYNC parameter.
What is the minimum recommended output capacitance for stable operation of FAN53610AUC29X?
The minimum recommended output capacitance for FAN53610AUC29X is 10 µF ceramic (X5R/X7R, 0603 case), as specified in the Recommended Operating Conditions table. Using less than 10 µF risks degraded transient response and increased output ripple beyond datasheet limits-particularly during 200–800 mA load steps shown in Figure 21. Larger values improve ripple suppression but do not affect loop stability.
How does the active output discharge function operate in FAN53610AUC29X, and what is its resistance value?
FAN53610AUC29X provides active output discharge only when the EN pin is driven low (≤0.4 V). During shutdown, an internal 230 Ω switch connects the FB pin to GND, discharging the output capacitor through the feedback network. This ensures VOUT falls rapidly and predictably-critical for safe power sequencing in multi-rail systems-and is validated in the Electrical Characteristics table under RDIS parameter.
What is the thermal performance of FAN53610AUC29X in standard PCB layouts, and how is junction temperature calculated?
FAN53610AUC29X has a typical θJA of 125°C/W on a 2s2p four-layer JEDEC-standard board. Junction temperature is calculated as TJ = TA + (PDISS × θJA), where PDISS = (VIN − VOUT) × IOUT × (1 − Efficiency). At 1 A, 3.6 VIN/2.9 VOUT, peak dissipation is ~350 mW, yielding TJ ≈ 85°C above ambient-well below the 125°C max operating junction temperature specified in the Recommended Operating Conditions.
