Description
The FAN4603 is a fully integrated synchronous DC/DC buck converter that provides up to 600mA of output current over an input voltage ranging from 2.3V to 5.5V. It provides a fixed output voltage level ranging from 1.0V to 1.8V. Other voltage options are available on request. The FAN4603 converter is offered as an ultra-miniature “Solder and Play” solution that requires no external components and is able to achieve a DC accuracy of ±2% PWM and an output ripple less than 12mV. Total footprint is 4.0 x 2.5mm with a maximum height of 1.1mm. It can be used in small battery-powered devices and applications with distributed DC POL requirements. At moderate and light loads, pulse frequency modulation is used to operate the device in power-save mode with a typical quiescent current of 35µA. Even with such a low quiescent current, the part exhibits excellent transient response during large load swings. At higher loads, the system automatically switches to fixed-frequency control. In shutdown mode, the supply current drops below 2µA, reducing power consumption.

FAN4603 — 600mA, Fully Integrated Buck Power Supply Module
Operation Description
The FAN4603 is a 600mA, step-down, switching-voltage regulator that delivers a fixed output from an input voltage supply of 2.3V to 5.5V. Using a proprietary architecture with synchronous rectification, the FAN4603 is capable of delivering a peak efficiency of >90%, while maintaining efficiency over 80% at load currents as low as 1mA. The regulator operates at a nominal PWM frequency of 6MHz. To prevent shutdown during soft-start, the following condition must be met:
IDISP + ILOAD < IMAX(DC)
(2)
where IMAX(DC) is the maximum load current the IC is guaranteed to support (600mA). Table 1 shows combinations of external COUT that allow the IC to start successfully with the minimum RLOAD that can be supported at each. Table 1. Minimum RLOAD Values for Soft-Start with Various External COUT Values
Control Scheme
The FAN4603 uses a proprietary, non-linear, fixed-frequency PWM modulator to deliver a fast load transient response, while maintaining a constant switching frequency over a wide range of operating conditions. Regulator stability is not dependent on output capacitor ESR, which allows the use of ceramic capacitors. Although this type of operation normally results in a switching frequency that varies with input voltage and load current, an internal frequency loop holds the switching frequency constant over a large range of input voltages and load currents. For very light loads, FAN4603 incorporates a discontinuous current (DCM) single-pulse PFM mode, which produces lower output ripple when compared with other PFM architectures. Transition between PWM and PFM is seamless, with a glitch of less than 20mV at VOUT during the transition between DCM and CCM modes. Combined with exceptional transient response characteristics, the very low quiescent current of the controller (35µA) maintains high efficiency; even at very light loads, while preserving fast transient response for applications requiring tight output regulation.

Minimum RLOAD
VOUT / 0.55 VOUT / 0.50 VOUT / 0.45
Multiple soft-start cycles may be required for COUT>10μf (15μf with no load). The IC shuts down for 85μs when IDISP+ ILOAD exceeds ILIMIT for more than 21μs of current limit. The IC then begins a new soft-start cycle. Subsequent soft-start cycles begin with any charge retained by COUT while the IC is off, allowing VOUT to incrementally reach regulation over multiple soft-start attempts.
Current Limit, Fault Shutdown, and Restart
A heavy load or short circuit on the output causes the current to increase until a maximum current threshold is reached. Upon reaching this point, the high-side switch turns off, preventing high currents from causing damage. The regulator continues to limit the current cycle-by-cycle. After 21µs of current limit, the regulator triggers an over-current fault, causing the regulator to shut down for about 85μs before attempting an automatic restart. If the fault is caused by short circuit, the soft-start circuit attempts to restart and produces an over-current fault after about 32μs, which results in a duty cycle of less than 30%, limiting power dissipation.
Enable and Soft-Start
When EN is LOW, all circuits in FAN4603 are off and the IC draws ~100nA of current. When EN is HIGH and VIN is above its UVLO threshold, the regulator begins a soft-start cycle. The output ramp during soft-start is a fixed slew rate of 50mV/μs from 0 to 1 VOUT, then 12.5mV/μs until the output reaches its setpoint. PWM mode operation is prohibited during the soft-start cycle to prevent COUT from being discharged. This allows glitchless starting into a pre-charged output.
Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO)
When EN is HIGH, the under-voltage lockout keeps the part from operating until the input supply voltage rises high enough to properly operate. This ensures no misbehavior of the regulator during startup or shutdown.
Startup into Large COUT
The IC may fail to start if heavy load is applied during startup and a large external COUT is present. This is due to the current-limit fault response, which protects the IC in an overcurrent condition during soft-start. The current required to charge COUT during soft-start, referred to as “displacement current,” is given as:
IDISP = C OUT • dV dt
Thermal Shutdown
When the die temperature increases, due to a high load condition and/or a high ambient temperature, the output switching is disabled until the temperature on the die has fallen sufficiently. The junction temperature at which the thermal shutdown activates is nominally 150°C with 15°C hysteresis. After cooling, the IC automatically restarts, with a soft-start cycle.

FAN4603 — 600mA, Fully Integrated Buck Power Supply Module
Reducing PFM Output Ripple
PFM output ripple amplitude can be reduced by adding external COUT, with negligible impact on efficiency. Reduced output ripple also results in less DC voltage excursion at very light loads. Maximum PFM ripple occurs at no load and is VIN and VOUT proportional.
PCB Layout Guideline
Figure 29. Figure 28. Typical 1.82VOUT No Load PFM Ripple vs. VIN Note: 4. Ripple is less for lower VOUT levels. The effective value of external COUT for a desired ripple amplitude can be determined using:
⎛ ( V − VOUT ) • VOUT • 62 ⎞ ⎟ −1 C OUT. (μF) = ⎜ IN ⎜ ⎟ VIN • VR ⎝ ⎠
Recommended PCB Layout
FB (pin 5) must be directly connected to VOUT (pin 4). Figure 29 shows the recommended locations of optional CIN and COUT, shown as 0603 size devices. Pad P1, shown in Figure 30 “Land Pattern,” is an optional GND pin. Connection is not required on the PCB.
(3)
where VR is the desired output ripple amplitude in mV and VIN and VOUT are in Volts. The simplified equation above is representative of nominal component values and does not account for device tolerances. The bias level effects associated with case size, voltage rating, and dielectric type of ceramic capacitors should be considered when selecting COUT.
Minimum Off-Time Effect on Switching Frequency
tOFF(MIN) is 50ns, while tON(MIN) is 35nS This imposes V constraints on the maximum/minimum OUT that the VIN FAN4603 can provide while maintaining a fixed switching frequency in PWM mode. When VIN is LOW, fixed switching is maintained as long as VOUT ≤ 1 − tOFF ( MIN ) • fSW ≈ 0.7 . VIN When VIN is HIGH, fixed switching is maintained as long as
VOUT ≥ t ON ( MIN ) • f SW ≈ 0.2 V IN
The switching frequency drops when the regulator cannot provide sufficient duty cycle at 6MHz to maintain regulation. Lowering the switching frequency allows VOUT to remain in regulation, even at very low or very high duty cycle.
