Product details
Overview
FAN5361UMP123X from Fairchild Semiconductor is a 6 MHz, 600 mA synchronous buck regulator in a 6-lead 2 × 2 mm UMLP package, delivering a fixed 1.233 V output from 2.3–5.5 V input. It features 35 µA quiescent current, internal soft-start, UVLO, thermal shutdown, and forced PWM mode-optimized for space-constrained mobile power rails in smartphones and tablets.
For engineers reviewing the FAN5361UMP123X datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 6 MHz switching frequency enabling ultra-small 470 nH inductors, PFM/PWM auto-mode transition at light loads, and verified 92% peak efficiency with ceramic output capacitors.
Technical Context
The FAN5361UMP123X uses a proprietary non-linear fixed-frequency PWM modulator with synchronous rectification, maintaining 6 MHz operation across wide VIN (2.3–5.5 V) and IOUT (0–600 mA) ranges. Its control loop is ESR-independent, enabling stable regulation with low-ESR ceramic capacitors.
It implements dual-mode operation: automatic PFM at light loads (<~50 mA) for 35 µA IQ, and seamless transition to CCM PWM at higher loads. The MODE pin supports forced PWM, external clock synchronization (×4), and Schmitt-triggered logic interface with 100 mV hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.233 V ±2.1% (1.207–1.272 V) over 0–600 mA load and –40°C to +85°C. |
| Switching Frequency | 6 MHz nominal (5.4–6.6 MHz) in PWM mode; enables 470 nH inductor and 4.7 µF ceramic output capacitor. |
| Quiescent Current | 35 µA typical in PFM mode; maintains >80% efficiency down to 1 mA load. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.3 V to 5.5 V-supports single-cell Li-ion, Li-poly, and USB-powered systems. |
| Peak Efficiency | 92% at 3.6 VIN/1.233 VOUT/200 mA; >85% across 10–500 mA at 3.6 VIN. |
| Thermal Protection | Thermal shutdown at 150°C junction temperature with 15°C hysteresis; UMLP package θJA = 49°C/W. |
| UVLO Threshold | Rising-edge threshold 2.25 V ±0.1 V with 150 mV hysteresis-prevents erratic startup below valid supply range. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-lead, 2 × 2 mm ultra-thin MLP (UMLP), 0.5 mm pitch, 0.6 mm max height, exposed thermal pad (GND-connected).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 4) | Power Input | Accepts 2.3–5.5 V supply; requires local 2.2 µF ceramic decoupling to GND. |
| GND (Pin 6) | Power & Signal Ground | Common reference for all signals; connects to thermal pad for heat dissipation. |
| EN (Pin 5) | Enable Control | Active-high logic: <0.4 V = shutdown (<1 µA ISD), >1.2 V = enabled; 1 kΩ series resistor recommended if VIN >4.5 V. |
| FB (Pin 3) | Feedback Node | Direct connection to regulated 1.233 V output; no external resistor divider required. |
| SW (Pin 1) | Switching Node | Connects to inductor; carries high di/dt pulses-requires short, low-inductance layout path. |
| MODE (Pin 2) | Mode Control / Sync Input | Logic 0 = auto PFM/PWM; Logic 1 = forced PWM; square wave input synchronizes fSW to 4× fMODE. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 6 MHz Fixed-Frequency Operation | Enables use of sub-500 nH inductors and 4.7 µF X5R ceramic capacitors-reducing solution size by >40% vs. 1–2 MHz buck regulators. |
| PFM/PWM Auto-Transition | Seamless mode switching with <18 mV VOUT glitch; preserves fast transient response while achieving 35 µA IQ at light loads. |
| Internal Soft-Start | Fixed slew rate (50 mV/µs to 1 VOUT, then 12.5 mV/µs) prevents inrush current-eliminates need for external soft-start circuitry. |
| Synchronous Rectification | Integrated PMOS/NMOS power stage (RDS(on) = 350 mΩ / 225 mΩ) eliminates external diode-improves efficiency and thermal performance. |
| Robust Protection Suite | Includes cycle-by-cycle current limit (900–1250 mA), thermal shutdown (150°C), UVLO (2.25 V), and 85 µs fault recovery-ensures reliable operation under overload or short-circuit. |

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 | Fixed 1.2 V output (not 1.233 V); 3–6 MHz DVS-capable frequency; 2.05–6.0 V input; 600 mA rating. | Requires external feedback resistors for 1.233 V; lacks MODE pin sync capability; lower IQ (18 µA) but no PFM/PWM auto-transition. | Choose when exact 1.233 V is not required and lowest possible quiescent current dominates. |
| RT8059NGSP | Adjustable output (0.6–5.5 V); 2.5–5.5 V input; 600 mA; 2.5 MHz switching; no PFM mode-PWM-only operation. | Requires external resistor divider; higher output ripple due to lower switching frequency; no light-load efficiency optimization. | Choose when adjustable output voltage and simpler control interface outweigh need for ultra-low IQ and high-frequency operation. |
Compared with TPS62231DRYR and RT8059NGSP, the FAN5361UMP123X delivers tighter output voltage accuracy (±2.1% at 1.233 V), superior light-load efficiency via PFM, and 6 MHz operation enabling smaller passives-making it optimal for space- and battery-life-sensitive mobile SoC rails.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the FAN5361UMP123X over temperature and load?
The FAN5361UMP123X provides a fixed 1.233 V output with ±2.1% tolerance (1.207–1.272 V) across full load (0–600 mA) and operating temperature (–40°C to +85°C), as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under VO parameter conditions for the 1.233 V option.
Does the FAN5361UMP123X require external feedback resistors to set its output voltage?
No, the FAN5361UMP123X does not require external feedback resistors. It is a fixed-output device with an internally trimmed 1.233 V reference connected directly to the FB pin, which must be tied to the regulated output node per the Typical Application schematic.
How does the MODE pin function on the FAN5361UMP123X?
The MODE pin on the FAN5361UMP123X serves three functions: logic 0 enables automatic PFM/PWM transition; logic 1 forces continuous PWM operation; and a square-wave input synchronizes the switching frequency to four times the input frequency-enabling EMI reduction through clock alignment.
What is the minimum input voltage required for the FAN5361UMP123X to maintain 6 MHz operation across full load?
The FAN5361UMP123X maintains 6 MHz PWM operation down to VIN ≥ 2.9 V at full 600 mA load for the 1.233 V output. Below 2.9 V, switching frequency drops due to tOFF(MIN) limitation, as shown in Figure 15 of the datasheet.
Can the FAN5361UMP123X safely start into a large output capacitor (e.g., >10 µF)?
Startup into large COUT (>10 µF) is possible but requires careful design: Table 1 specifies minimum RLOAD values to avoid current-limit shutdown during soft-start. For COUT >15 µF, multiple soft-start cycles may occur due to displacement current exceeding ILIM(OL), necessitating light initial load or staged enable sequencing.
