Product details
Overview
FAN53611AUC18X from onsemi is a 6 MHz, 1 A synchronous buck regulator in WLCSP-6 package delivering a fixed 1.800 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 FAN53611AUC18X datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 1 A output capability at 1.800 V, 6 MHz fixed-frequency operation enabling ultra-small 470 nH inductors and 4.7 µF capacitors, and seamless AUTO/PWM/external sync mode control via the MODE pin.
Technical Context
The FAN53611AUC18X employs a proprietary non-linear fixed-frequency PWM modulator with synchronous rectification, maintaining 6 MHz switching across wide VIN (2.3–5.5 V) and IOUT (0–1 A) ranges while independent of output capacitor ESR. Its architecture supports Discontinuous Conduction Mode (DCM) PFM at light loads and transitions seamlessly to continuous conduction mode (CCM) PWM under higher loads.
Control is managed through three critical pins: EN enables/disables regulation with ~250 nA shutdown current; MODE selects AUTO (PFM/PWM auto-switching), forced PWM, or external clock synchronization at 1.3–1.7 MHz (×4 output); FB provides resistive feedback for voltage regulation-though FAN53611AUC18X uses internal 1.800 V reference, eliminating external resistor network.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.800 V ±3.8% (1.732–1.868 V) over 0–1 A load and −40°C to +85°C ambient. |
| Max Output Current | 1 A continuous; peak current limit 1.5–2.0 A (open-loop test condition) with hiccup-mode fault recovery. |
| Switching Frequency | 6 MHz nominal in PWM mode; supports external sync up to 1.7 MHz on MODE pin (×4 output). |
| Quiescent Current | 24 µA typical in PFM mode; 8 mA in forced PWM; <1 µA in shutdown (EN = GND). |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.3 V to 5.5 V operating; absolute max 7.0 V; UVLO threshold 2.27 V (rising), 200 mV hysteresis. |

Pinout & Package
Package: Wafer-Level Chip-Scale Package (WLCSP-6), 0.4 mm pitch, 1.16 × 0.86 mm footprint, 547–625 µm height. Bumps face down in standard mounting orientation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1 | MODE | Mode control: logic high forces PWM; logic low enables AUTO (PFM/PWM switching); also accepts sync clock (1.3–1.7 MHz) for ×4 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: internally tied to 1.800 V reference-no external resistors required; senses regulated output voltage. |
| C2 | GND | Power and signal ground: primary return path for SW, VIN, and internal circuits; must connect to solid ground plane under IC. |
| B2 | EN | Enable input: active-high; device enabled when >1.2 V, shutdown when <0.4 V; draws <1 µA in shutdown state. |
| A2 | VIN | Input supply: accepts 2.3–5.5 V; requires local 2.2 µF ceramic capacitor placed within 2 mm of pin and GND. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-high switching frequency | 6 MHz operation reduces required inductor size to 470 nH and output capacitance to 4.7 µF-cutting solution footprint by >50% vs. 1–2 MHz buck regulators. |
| Hybrid PFM/PWM control | Auto-switching between low-quiescent 24 µA PFM (light load) and fixed-frequency 6 MHz PWM (medium/heavy load) preserves efficiency across 1 mA–1 A range. |
| Integrated active discharge | 230 Ω internal pull-down on FB when EN = GND ensures rapid output discharge-critical for sequencing in multi-rail systems and preventing back-powering. |
| Robust protection suite | Includes cycle-by-cycle current limiting, thermal shutdown (150°C), UVLO (2.27 V), and hiccup-mode fault recovery-enabling reliable operation under overload or short-circuit. |
| ESR-independent stability | Proprietary control loop eliminates dependence on output capacitor ESR, allowing use of low-ESR ceramic capacitors without phase compensation redesign. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62231DRYR | 1.8 V fixed, 1 A, 6 MHz-but no MODE pin sync capability; only PFM/PWM auto-switching; higher IQ (32 µA) in PFM mode. | Lacks external clock synchronization and forced PWM mode; less flexible for noise-sensitive or deterministic-frequency systems. | Choose if sync functionality is unnecessary and board space allows slightly larger passive components (requires ≥680 nH inductor). |
| RT7295BGJ6F | 1.8 V fixed, 1.2 A, 2 MHz; includes enable, power-good, and thermal foldback-but lower switching frequency increases inductor/capacitor size. | Higher current rating but 2 MHz operation requires ≥1.5 µH inductor and ≥10 µF output cap-unsuitable for ultra-compact layouts. | Prefer when higher output current margin is needed and PCB area permits larger magnetics; avoid when 6 MHz size advantage is critical. |
Compared with TPS62231DRYR and RT7295BGJ6F, the FAN53611AUC18X uniquely combines 6 MHz operation, 1 A capability, and MODE-pin synchronizability in a 1.16 × 0.86 mm WLCSP-making it optimal for next-gen mobile devices where footprint, efficiency across load range, and EMI control are co-prioritized.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the FAN53611AUC18X over temperature and load?
The FAN53611AUC18X delivers a fixed 1.800 V output with ±3.8% accuracy (1.732–1.868 V) across full operating conditions: 0–1 A load, −40°C to +85°C ambient, and 2.3–5.5 V input. In PWM mode, tolerance tightens to ±2.2% (1.756–1.844 V). This specification is validated per the official onsemi datasheet Rev. 2 (December 2017) and applies directly to the FAN53611AUC18X variant.
Does the FAN53611AUC18X require external feedback resistors?
No-the FAN53611AUC18X integrates a precision 1.800 V reference and internal feedback divider, so no external resistors are needed on the FB pin. The FB pin connects directly to the output capacitor for regulation. This simplifies layout, eliminates resistor tolerance errors, and reduces bill-of-materials cost-confirmed in the "Pin Definitions" and "Electrical Characteristics" sections of the FAN53611AUC18X datasheet.
How does the MODE pin function on the FAN53611AUC18X?
The MODE pin on the FAN53611AUC18X serves three roles: (1) logic high (>1.2 V) forces fixed-frequency PWM operation; (2) logic low (<0.4 V) enables automatic PFM/PWM mode switching; (3) applying a 1.3–1.7 MHz square wave synchronizes switching to 4× that frequency. The pin includes Schmitt-trigger buffering for noise immunity-details are specified in the "Pin Definitions" and "Operation Description" of the FAN53611AUC18X datasheet.
What is the minimum recommended output capacitor for stable operation of the FAN53611AUC18X?
The FAN53611AUC18X is optimized for 4.7 µF X5R ceramic output capacitance in 0402 case size, with guaranteed stability down to 1.6 µF. Using <1.6 µF risks loop instability and excessive output ripple; exceeding 4.7 µF improves transient response and reduces ripple but adds no stability benefit. This guidance is explicitly stated in the "Recommended Operating Conditions" and "Applications Information" sections for the FAN53611AUC18X.
Is active output discharge enabled by default on the FAN53611AUC18X?
Yes-per the "Ordering Information" table in the FAN53611AUC18X datasheet, the "A" suffix (as in AUC18X) denotes inclusion of active discharge. When EN is pulled low, an internal 230 Ω switch discharges the FB node to GND, rapidly collapsing the output voltage. This feature is confirmed in the "Pin Definitions" (RDIS = 230 Ω) and "Electrical Characteristics" tables-and is absent in non-"A" variants like FAN53611UC123X.
