Product details
Overview
FAN53611AUC12X from onsemi is a 1 A, 1.200 V fixed-output synchronous buck regulator operating at 6 MHz with 24 µA quiescent current, 2.3–5.5 V input range, and integrated PMOS/NMOS power switches-designed for space-constrained mobile power rails in tablets and ultra-mobile PCs.
For engineers reviewing the FAN53611AUC12X datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its WLCSP-6 package footprint, PFM/PWM mode control via MODE pin, active output discharge capability, and compatibility with 470 nH inductors and 4.7 µF ceramic output capacitors.
Technical Context
The FAN53611AUC12X employs a proprietary non-linear fixed-frequency PWM modulator that maintains 6 MHz switching across wide VIN and load ranges while enabling seamless transition to PFM mode below ~300 mA. Its architecture eliminates ESR dependency, supporting low-ESR ceramic capacitors without loop compensation.
Control logic integrates internal soft-start (300 µs typical), UVLO (2.27 V threshold), thermal shutdown (150°C), and cycle-by-cycle current limiting (1750 mA typical peak). The MODE pin serves dual function: forcing PWM-only operation or enabling external clock synchronization at 1.3–1.7 MHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.200 V ±4% over 0–1 A load; enables direct powering of core logic rails without external feedback resistors. |
| Max Output Current | 1 A continuous; supports high-efficiency conversion for SoC I/O or GPU subsystems in portable devices. |
| Switching Frequency | 6 MHz nominal; allows use of ultra-small 470 nH inductors and reduces EMI fundamental frequency beyond typical RF bands. |
| Quiescent Current | 24 µA typical in PFM mode; sustains >80% efficiency down to 1 mA load for always-on system states. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.3 V to 5.5 V; compatible with single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V), USB 5 V, and multi-rail battery systems. |
| Package | 6-bump WLCSP, 0.4 mm pitch, 1.16 × 0.86 mm footprint; optimized for minimal PCB area in thin-profile mobile designs. |
| Protection Features | Thermal shutdown (150°C), overcurrent hiccup mode (16-cycle fault detection), UVLO, and optional active output discharge (230 Ω path). |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-bump Wafer-Level Chip-Scale Package (WLCSP), 0.4 mm pitch, 1.16 mm × 0.86 mm body, 586 µm typical height.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1 | MODE | Multi-function control: logic HIGH forces PWM-only operation; logic LOW enables auto PFM/PWM transition; square wave input synchronizes switching to 4× frequency. |
| B1 | SW | Switch node connection to external inductor; carries high di/dt current and requires short, low-inductance routing. |
| C1 | FB | Feedback input tied directly to output; internal resistor divider sets 1.200 V reference-no external components required. |
| C2 | GND | Power and signal ground reference; must be connected to low-impedance PCB plane adjacent to CIN/COUT common point. |
| B2 | EN | Enable input: >1.2 V enables regulation; <0.4 V disables with <1 µA shutdown current and optional active FB discharge. |
| A2 | VIN | Main power input (2.3–5.5 V); requires local 2.2 µF ceramic capacitor placed within 2 mm of pin to minimize high-frequency ringing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 24 µA in PFM mode preserves battery life in standby without sacrificing transient response. |
| 6 MHz fixed-frequency operation | Enables miniaturized passive components (470 nH/4.7 µF) and shifts EMI energy above sensitive 2.4 GHz ISM band. |
| Synchronous rectification | Integrated 175 mΩ PMOS / 165 mΩ NMOS switches eliminate external Schottky loss, achieving 92% peak efficiency. |
| Auto PFM/PWM mode transition | Seamless switching between high-efficiency light-load PFM and low-noise fixed-frequency PWM based on real-time load demand. |
| Internal soft-start | 300 µs controlled ramp prevents inrush current and output overshoot during power-up, even into large COUT (>15 µF). |

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 | 600 mA max output, 1.2 V fixed, 2.05–6 V input, 2.25 MHz switching, 16-pin WSON package. | Limited to lower current; lacks MODE-synchronization and active discharge; higher minimum input voltage. | Select when 600 mA suffices and board layout accommodates larger WSON footprint. |
| RT7295BGJ6F | 1.5 A max output, adjustable VOUT (0.6–5.5 V), 2.5–5.5 V input, 1.5 MHz switching, 6-pin SOT-563 package. | Requires external feedback resistors; lower switching frequency increases inductor size; no PFM/PWM auto-transition. | Choose for adjustable output or higher current headroom where 1.5 MHz EMI profile is acceptable. |
Compared with TPS62260DRVR and RT7295BGJ6F, the FAN53611AUC12X offers superior current density in smallest footprint, integrated PFM/PWM intelligence, and unique MODE-pin synchronization-making it optimal for compact, high-efficiency 1.2 V mobile rails where timing control and thermal management are critical.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed output voltage accuracy of the FAN53611AUC12X over temperature and load?
The FAN53611AUC12X delivers 1.200 V output with ±4% accuracy (1.152 V to 1.248 V) across 0–1 A load and –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature in PWM mode, and ±4.2% (1.152 V to 1.248 V) in auto PFM/PWM mode per onsemi datasheet Section 4 Electrical Characteristics. This specification ensures reliable core voltage compliance for modern low-voltage processors without external trimming.
Does the FAN53611AUC12X require external feedback resistors to set its output voltage?
No, the FAN53611AUC12X has an internally trimmed 1.200 V reference connected to the FB pin-no external resistors are needed. The FB pin is designed for direct connection to the output capacitor; adding external components will disrupt regulation and void specified accuracy. This simplifies layout and improves reliability in high-density mobile designs.
How does the MODE pin function in the FAN53611AUC12X, and what happens if left unconnected?
The MODE pin on the FAN53611AUC12X controls operating mode: logic HIGH forces fixed-frequency PWM, logic LOW enables automatic PFM/PWM transition, and AC input (1.3–1.7 MHz) synchronizes switching to 4× that frequency. It must not be left floating-unconnected MODE may cause erratic mode switching or failure to start due to internal Schmitt trigger uncertainty.
What is the maximum recommended output capacitance for stable startup of the FAN53611AUC12X?
Startup into large COUT is supported up to 15 µF with no additional circuitry; beyond that, multiple soft-start cycles occur due to displacement current exceeding current limit. For reliable single-cycle startup, onsemi recommends ≤12 µF total COUT when using standard 470 nH inductors and 2.2 µF CIN. Larger values require careful inrush current analysis per Equation (2) in the datasheet.
Is active output discharge enabled by default on the FAN53611AUC12X, and how is it controlled?
Yes, the FAN53611AUC12X variant ending in "AUC" (including FAN53611AUC12X) includes factory-enabled active output discharge. When EN is pulled low, a 230 Ω internal path discharges the FB node to GND, preventing floating voltages and ensuring predictable power-down sequencing-critical for multi-rail SoC systems with strict reset timing requirements.
