Product details
Overview
FAN5362UC27X from ON Semiconductor is a fixed-output, synchronous buck DC-DC regulator delivering 2.7V at up to 500mA from a 2.7V–5.5V input supply. It operates at 3MHz fixed frequency with 45µA quiescent current in PFM mode and features seamless 100% duty-cycle operation for low-dropout regulation-ideal for powering RF transceivers and SD flash memory in space-constrained mobile devices.
For engineers reviewing the FAN5362UC27X datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include its WLCSP-6 package (0.4mm pitch), ±3% output voltage accuracy at 500mA, thermal shutdown at 150°C, forced PWM capability via MODE pin, and compatibility with 1µH inductors and 4.7µF ceramic output capacitors.
Technical Context
The FAN5362UC27X employs a proprietary non-linear fixed-frequency PWM modulator with synchronous rectification, enabling >96% peak efficiency and >90% efficiency down to 1mA load. Its control architecture maintains constant 3MHz switching across wide VIN and IOUT ranges while supporting automatic PFM/PWM transitions with <18mV VOUT glitch.
It integrates internal soft-start with exponential ramping, active FB discharge during shutdown, input UVLO (2.6V threshold, 175mV hysteresis), and cycle-by-cycle peak-current limiting (800–1150mA depending on VOUT). Thermal shutdown activates at 150°C with 15°C hysteresis, and minimum off-time (35ns) governs low-VIN frequency droop behavior.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.7V ±3% over 0–500mA load and –40°C to +85°C ambient |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion and regulated 3.3V/5V rails |
| Switching Frequency | 3.0MHz nominal - enables use of 1µH inductor and compact 0603 ceramic capacitors |
| Quiescent Current | 45µA typical in PFM mode - extends battery life in standby without sacrificing transient response |
| Output Current | 500mA continuous - guaranteed with ≥300mV headroom (VIN ≥ VOUT + 300mV) |
| Efficiency | Peak >96%; >90% at 1mA - maintained across light-to-heavy loads via adaptive PFM/PWM |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C activation with 15°C hysteresis - protects die under sustained overload or high ambient |
Pinout & Package
Package: Wafer-Level Chip-Scale Package (WLCSP-6), 2×3 bump array, 0.4mm pitch, 0.547–0.625mm height, bottom-side solder bumps.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1 | MODE | Configures operating mode: logic HIGH forces PWM; logic LOW enables auto PFM/PWM transition; also accepts external sync clock (×2 frequency) |
| B1 | SW | Switching node - connects directly to inductor; carries high di/dt pulses; requires tight layout to minimize EMI |
| C1 | FB | Feedback input - internally connected to 2.7V reference; no external resistor divider needed |
| C2 | GND | Power and signal ground - all voltages referenced here; must be low-impedance connection to PCB ground plane |
| B2 | EN | Enable control - device enabled above 1.2V; shutdown below 0.4V; draws <1µA in shutdown |
| A2 | VIN | Main power input - accepts 2.7–5.5V; requires local 2.2µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Seamless 100% duty-cycle operation | Enables dropout as low as ~150mV at 500mA (via RDS(on)PMOS + DCRL), eliminating need for LDO post-regulation |
| PFM/PWM auto-transition | Glitch-free mode switching (<18mV VOUT disturbance) preserves output regulation during dynamic load changes |
| Internal soft-start | 180–300µs exponential ramp prevents output overshoot and limits inrush into large COUT or pre-biased loads |
| UVLO with hysteresis | 2.6V turn-on threshold with 175mV hysteresis ensures clean startup and avoids oscillation near brownout conditions |
| Synchronous rectification | Reduces conduction losses vs. diode-based buck; achieves >96% peak efficiency without external MOSFETs |

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 | 2.7V fixed output, 500mA, 3MHz, but uses 1.2V reference + external resistors; no integrated FB | Requires external feedback network; lacks seamless 100% duty-cycle mode and PFM/PWM auto-transition | Select when design requires adjustable output or tighter tolerance than ±3% - otherwise FAN5362UC27X offers simpler layout and superior light-load efficiency. |
| RT8059GJ6 | 2.7V fixed output, 600mA, 2.5MHz, WLCSP-6, but higher IQ (60µA) and no MODE pin for forced PWM or sync | No external clock synchronization; less robust load transient response per datasheet graphs | Choose if slightly higher current rating is prioritized over efficiency at microamp loads or EMI-controlled sync capability. |
Compared with TPS62231DRYR and RT8059GJ6, the FAN5362UC27X delivers superior light-load efficiency (45µA IQ), integrated seamless 100% duty-cycle operation, and flexible MODE pin functionality - making it optimal for battery-powered mobile systems demanding minimal quiescent power and compact footprint.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the FAN5362UC27X over temperature and load?
The FAN5362UC27X provides a fixed 2.7V output with ±3% accuracy across 0–500mA load and –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature. This specification holds when VIN ≥ VOUT + 300mV (i.e., VIN ≥ 3.0V). At lighter loads or higher VIN, output voltage remains within tighter bounds per the Electrical Characteristics table in the datasheet. The FAN5362UC27X does not require external feedback components due to its internally trimmed reference.
Can the FAN5362UC27X operate with input voltage equal to its 2.7V output?
Yes - the FAN5362UC27X supports seamless transition into 100% duty-cycle operation when VIN approaches or equals VOUT. In this mode, output voltage follows VIN minus dropout determined by PMOS RDS(on) and inductor DCR. Minimum dropout is ~150mV at 500mA, allowing functional regulation down to VIN ≈ 2.85V. The FAN5362UC27X exits 100% mode smoothly without overshoot when VIN recovers.
How does the MODE pin affect FAN5362UC27X operation?
The MODE pin on the FAN5362UC27X controls modulation mode and synchronization: logic LOW enables automatic PFM/PWM transition for best light-load efficiency; logic HIGH forces continuous PWM for fixed-frequency operation and reduced ripple. When driven with a square wave, the FAN5362UC27X synchronizes its switching to twice the MODE pin frequency - a feature not available on most competing 3MHz regulators.
What is the recommended output capacitor for the FAN5362UC27X?
The FAN5362UC27X is optimized for 4.7µF ceramic output capacitors (X5R/X7R, 0603 size), though values up to 24µF improve transient response and reduce ripple. Capacitances >24µF may prevent startup due to excessive displacement current during soft-start. The FAN5362UC27X does not require ESR tuning - it remains stable with low-ESR ceramics, unlike many older buck controllers.
Is the FAN5362UC27X pin-compatible with other variants in the FAN5362 family?
Yes - all FAN5362 variants (e.g., FAN5362UC21X, FAN5362UC25X, FAN5362UC27X) share identical WLCSP-6 pinout and package dimensions. Output voltage is factory-trimmed and non-adjustable; swapping variants requires only PCB-level voltage verification and no layout change. The FAN5362UC27X is functionally and mechanically interchangeable with other UC-series members in the same package.
