Product details
Overview
FAN53611AUC123X from onsemi is a 6 MHz, 1 A synchronous buck regulator in WLCSP-6 package delivering a fixed 1.233 V output from 2.3–5.5 V input. It features 24 µA quiescent current in PFM mode, internal soft-start, UVLO, thermal shutdown, and optional active output discharge - optimized for space-constrained mobile power rails in tablets and data cards.
For engineers reviewing the FAN53611AUC123X datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 1.233 V output accuracy (±3.9% over 0–1 A), 6 MHz fixed-frequency operation enabling 470 nH inductor/4.7 µF capacitor use, forced PWM capability via MODE pin, and WLCSP-6 thermal performance (θJA = 125°C/W).
Technical Context
The FAN53611AUC123X employs a proprietary non-linear fixed-frequency PWM modulator with seamless auto-transition between continuous conduction mode (CCM) and discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) PFM at light loads. Its architecture maintains constant 6 MHz switching across input voltage (2.3–5.5 V) and load (0–1 A) ranges using an internal frequency loop, independent of output capacitor ESR.
Control logic includes a Schmitt-triggered MODE pin supporting both forced PWM and external clock synchronization (1.3–1.7 MHz input → 5.2–6.8 MHz sync), EN pin with 0.4 V low-threshold shutdown (<1 µA ISD), and integrated protection: cycle-by-cycle current limiting (1.5–2.0 A open-loop peak), thermal shutdown at 150°C (15°C hysteresis), and UVLO with 2.27 V rising threshold and 200 mV hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.233 V ±3.9% (1.185–1.281 V) over 0–1 A load and –40°C to +85°C |
| Max Output Current | 1 A DC, supported by 1.5–2.0 A open-loop PMOS current limit |
| Switching Frequency | 6 MHz nominal fixed frequency; enables ultra-small 470 nH inductor and 4.7 µF ceramic output capacitor |
| Quiescent Current | 24 µA typical in auto PFM/PWM mode; drops to ≤1 µA in shutdown |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.3 V to 5.5 V - supports single-cell Li-ion, USB, and wide-input portable rails |
| Efficiency | Peak 92% at mid-load; >80% maintained down to 1 mA load |
| Package | 6-bump WLCSP, 0.4 mm pitch, 1.16 × 0.86 mm footprint, 586 µm typical height |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-bump Wafer-Level Chip-Scale Package (WLCSP), 0.4 mm pitch, bumps facing down in standard mounting orientation. Dimensions: 1.160 mm × 0.860 mm × 0.586 mm (typ). Thermal resistance θJA = 125°C/W on 4-layer JEDEC board.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1 | MODE | Logic-controlled mode select: HIGH forces PWM; LOW enables auto PFM/PWM transition; also accepts 1.3–1.7 MHz sync signal (×4 output) |
| B1 | SW | Switching node - connects directly to inductor; carries high di/dt pulsed current; requires low-inductance layout |
| C1 | FB | Feedback input - senses regulated output voltage; internal resistor divider sets 1.233 V reference |
| C2 | GND | Power and IC ground - primary return path for SW, VIN, and FB; must connect to solid ground plane under package |
| B2 | EN | Enable input - active HIGH (>1.2 V); <0.4 V disables regulator and activates shutdown (<1 µA ISD) |
| A2 | VIN | Main input supply - accepts 2.3–5.5 V; requires local 2.2 µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 24 µA typical in light-load PFM mode preserves battery life without sacrificing transient response |
| 6 MHz fixed-frequency operation | Enables smallest possible passive components: 470 nH inductor + 4.7 µF output capacitor fit in <1.5 mm² area |
| Internal soft-start | Controlled 50 mV/µs slew rate to 1 V, then 12.5 mV/µs to final setpoint - prevents inrush and overshoot |
| Active output discharge option | 230 Ω internal discharge path to GND when EN = LOW - ensures rapid VOUT decay for system sequencing |
| Robust protection suite | Includes UVLO (2.27 V), thermal shutdown (150°C), cycle-by-cycle current limit, and hiccup-mode fault recovery |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62231DRVR | 1.23 V output, 600 mA, 3–6 V input, 3.6 MHz, 22 µA IQ, WSON-6 (2 × 2 mm) | Limited to 600 mA; lower max current unsuitable for 1 A peak loads in data cards | Select if 600 mA suffices and larger WSON-6 footprint is acceptable; not drop-in due to different pinout and current rating |
| RT7295BGJ6F | 1.23 V output, 1 A, 2.5–5.5 V input, 2 MHz, 35 µA IQ, WDFN-6 (2 × 2 mm) | Half the switching frequency → requires ~2× larger inductor/capacitor; higher IQ reduces light-load efficiency | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where board area is less constrained; verify thermal performance at 1 A with 2 MHz operation |
Compared with TPS62231DRVR and RT7295BGJ6F, the FAN53611AUC123X delivers full 1 A capability in the smallest footprint (1.16 × 0.86 mm), highest switching frequency (6 MHz), and lowest quiescent current (24 µA) - making it optimal for ultra-compact, battery-sensitive mobile applications demanding both peak current and standby efficiency.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the FAN53611AUC123X over temperature and load?
The FAN53611AUC123X delivers a nominal 1.233 V output with ±3.9% tolerance (1.185–1.281 V) across the full operating range: 0–1 A load, –40°C to +85°C ambient, and 2.3–5.5 V input. This specification is verified in the Electrical Characteristics table (page 4) under "VO Output Voltage Accuracy" for the 1.233 V variant, with tighter ±3.2% (1.192–1.274 V) in PWM-only mode.
Does the FAN53611AUC123X support external clock synchronization, and what is the required input frequency?
Yes, the FAN53611AUC123X supports external clock synchronization via the MODE pin. When a square wave with frequency between 1.3 MHz and 1.7 MHz is applied to MODE, the regulator synchronizes its switching frequency to exactly four times the input frequency (5.2–6.8 MHz). This capability is documented in the Electrical Characteristics table (page 4) under "fSYNC MODE Synchronization Range".
What is the purpose of the active output discharge feature in the FAN53611AUC123X, and how is it enabled?
The active output discharge feature in the FAN53611AUC123X provides a 230 Ω internal path from FB to GND when EN is pulled LOW, rapidly discharging the output capacitor to prevent floating or unintended biasing of downstream circuitry. This variant (FAN53611AUC123X) includes active discharge, as confirmed in the Ordering Information table (page 2) where "Yes" is listed under "Active Discharge" for this part number.
What are the minimum recommended external components for the FAN53611AUC123X?
The FAN53611AUC123X requires three external components: 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 are specified in the Recommended Operating Conditions table (page 3) and validated in Figure 1 for typical application.
How does the FAN53611AUC123X manage thermal performance in high-current operation?
The FAN53611AUC123X incorporates thermal shutdown activation at 150°C junction temperature with 15°C hysteresis, and its WLCSP-6 package achieves θJA = 125°C/W on a standard 4-layer JEDEC board. Under 1 A load at 5.5 V input, thermal simulations confirm safe operation below 125°C junction limit with proper PCB copper area - as validated in the Thermal Properties section (page 3) and Typical Performance Figures (e.g., Figure 5).
