Please note: As part of the Fairchild Semiconductor integration, some of the Fairchild orderable part numbers
will need to change in order to meet ON Semiconductor’s system requirements. Since the ON Semiconductor
product management systems do not have the ability to manage part nomenclature that utilizes an underscore
(_), the underscore (_) in the Fairchild part numbers will be changed to a dash (-). This document may contain
device numbers with an underscore (_). Please check the ON Semiconductor website to verify the updated
device numbers. The most current and up-to-date ordering information can be found at www.onsemi.com. Please
email any questions regarding the system integration to Fairchild_questions@onsemi.com.

FAN8303
2 A 23 V Non-Synchronous Step-Down DC/DC
Regulator
Features
Description
The FAN8303 is a monolithic, non-synchronous, stepdown (buck) regulator with internal power MOSFETs. It
achieves 2 A continuous output current over a wide
input supply range with excellent load and line
regulation. Current-mode operation provides fast
transient response and eases loop stabilization. Fault
condition protection includes cycle-by-cycle current
limiting and thermal shutdown. The regulator draws less
than 40 µA shutdown current. FAN8303 requires a
minimum number of readily available standard external
components.
2 A Output Current
0.22 Internal Power MOSFET Switch
Wide 5 V to 23 V Operating Input Range
Output Adjustable from 0.6 to 20 V
Stable with Low ESR Output Ceramic Capacitors
Up to 90% Efficiency
Less than 40 µA Shutdown Current
Fixed 370 kHz Frequency
External compensation, enable, and programmable
soft-start features allow design optimization and
flexibility. Cycle-by-cycle current limit, frequency
foldback, and thermal shutdown provide protection
against shorted outputs.

Switch
Power Switching Output. SW is the switching node that supplies power to
the output.
High-Side Drive BOOT Voltage. Connect through capacitor (CBS) to SW.
The IC includes an internal synchronous bootstrap diode to recharge the
capacitor on this pin to VCC when SW is LOW.
GND

Stresses exceeding the absolute maximum ratings may damage the device. The device may not function or be
operable above the recommended operating conditions and stressing the parts to these levels is not recommended.
In addition, extended exposure to stresses above the recommended operating conditions may affect device
reliability. The absolute maximum ratings are stress ratings only. All voltage values, except differential voltages, are
given with respect to the network ground terminal. Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device
