Product details
Overview
FAN53610AUC30X from ON Semiconductor is a 3 MHz, 1 A synchronous step-down DC-DC regulator in WLCSP-6 (0.4 mm pitch) packaging, delivering fixed 3.0 V output from 2.3–5.5 V input. It integrates PMOS/NMOS synchronous rectification with 175 mΩ/165 mΩ RDS(on), achieves 97% peak efficiency, and supports PFM/PWM mode auto-switching for ultra-low 26 µA quiescent current-optimized for portable power rails in mobile data cards and tablets.
For engineers reviewing the FAN53610AUC30X datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 3.0 V output accuracy (±3.3% over load/temperature), MODE-pin-synchronized operation up to 1.7 MHz, thermal shutdown at 150°C, and compatibility with 1 µH inductors and 10 µF ceramic output capacitors.
Technical Context
FAN53610AUC30X employs a proprietary non-linear fixed-frequency PWM modulator with seamless PFM-to-PWM transition, enabling stable 3 MHz switching across wide VIN (2.3–5.5 V) and IOUT (0–1 A) ranges while maintaining low output ripple and fast transient response. Its control loop is independent of output capacitor ESR, allowing full use of low-ESR ceramic capacitors.
The device integrates internal soft-start (300 µs typical), input UVLO (2.27 V threshold with 200 mV hysteresis), and cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection with 1.75 A typical peak limit. MODE pin enables forced PWM mode or external clock synchronization at 1.3–1.7 MHz, doubling to 2.6–3.4 MHz switching frequency.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.0 V ±3.3% (2.90–3.11 V over 0–1 A load, 2.3–5.5 V input, –40°C to +85°C) |
| Max Output Current | 1 A continuous-supports high-efficiency power delivery to SoC cores or RF modules without external current sensing |
| Switching Frequency | 3.0 MHz nominal (2.7–3.3 MHz range); enables use of 1 µH inductor and compact 0603-size 10 µF output capacitor |
| Quiescent Current | 26 µA typical in PFM mode-extends battery life in always-on subsystems like GPS or Bluetooth LE receivers |
| RDS(on) | 175 mΩ (PMOS) / 165 mΩ (NMOS)-minimizes conduction loss at 1 A, supporting >90% efficiency at 500 mA with 3.6 V input |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C activation with 15°C hysteresis-protects die during sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design |
| UVLO Threshold | 2.27 V rising edge with 200 mV hysteresis-prevents erratic startup during brown-out conditions in Li-ion-powered systems |
Pinout & Package
Package: WLCSP-6, 0.4 mm ball pitch, 1.16 mm × 0.86 mm footprint, 586 µm typical height (JEDEC-compliant WL-CSP).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1 | MODE | Logic-controlled mode select: high = forced PWM; low = auto PFM/PWM; also accepts external sync clock (1.3–1.7 MHz) |
| B1 | SW | Switch node-connects directly to inductor; carries high di/dt switching current; requires tight layout to minimize EMI |
| C1 | FB | Feedback input-monitors regulated output via resistive divider (not used for fixed-output variants like FAN53610AUC30X) |
| C2 | GND | Power and signal ground-must be low-impedance connection to PCB ground plane; shared reference for all analog circuits |
| B2 | EN | Enable input-active-high (VIH ≥ 1.2 V); < 0.4 V disables IC and reduces supply current to ≤1 µA |
| A2 | VIN | Main input supply-accepts 2.3–5.5 V; 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 coin-cell-powered IoT sensors without compromising transient response |
| Synchronous rectification | Integrated 175 mΩ PMOS / 165 mΩ NMOS-eliminates external Schottky diode, reducing BOM count and thermal footprint |
| External clock sync | MODE pin accepts 1.3–1.7 MHz square wave-allows system-level EMI reduction by aligning switching to noise-immune bands |
| Active output discharge | 230 Ω internal path when EN = GND-ensures rapid VOUT discharge to prevent latch-up in multi-rail sequencing applications |
| Robust protection suite | UVLO, thermal shutdown (150°C), cycle-by-cycle OCP (1.75 A typ), and soft-start (300 µs)-reduces need for external fault management circuitry |

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of FAN53610AUC30X over temperature and load?
FAN53610AUC30X delivers 3.0 V output with ±3.3% accuracy across full operating conditions: 0–1 A load, 2.3–5.5 V input, and –40°C to +85°C ambient. Measured deviation remains within 2.891–3.110 V at 3.8 V input and 2.891–3.110 V at 5.0 V input per datasheet Table 3, ensuring reliable logic-level compliance for 3.0 V I/O domains.
Does FAN53610AUC30X require an external feedback resistor network?
No. FAN53610AUC30X is a fixed-output variant-its 3.0 V regulation is implemented internally, eliminating the need for external FB resistors. The FB pin (C1) is not connected in standard operation and must remain unpopulated or floating per datasheet guidance for fixed-voltage versions.
How does the MODE pin affect switching behavior in FAN53610AUC30X?
When MODE is pulled high (>1.2 V), FAN53610AUC30X operates exclusively in PWM mode regardless of load. When MODE is low (<0.4 V), it automatically switches between PFM (light load) and PWM (medium/heavy load). Applying a 1.3–1.7 MHz square wave to MODE synchronizes switching at double that frequency (2.6–3.4 MHz).
What is the minimum recommended output capacitance for stable operation of FAN53610AUC30X?
The datasheet specifies 10 µF ceramic (X5R, 0603) as the minimum recommended output capacitance for FAN53610AUC30X. This value ensures adequate phase margin, acceptable output ripple (<15 mV pk-pk under 500 mA step load), and robust transient response-verified across –40°C to +85°C with 3.6 V input.
Can FAN53610AUC30X operate with input voltage below 2.3 V?
No. FAN53610AUC30X has a guaranteed operational input range of 2.3 V to 5.5 V. Below 2.3 V, the internal UVLO circuit disables regulation-VIN must exceed 2.27 V (typical) to enable startup, and operation below 2.3 V is not characterized or supported per absolute maximum ratings and recommended conditions.
