Features
Description
The FAN53501 is a step-dow n sw itching voltage
regulator that delivers a fixed 1.82 V from an input voltage
supply of 2.7 V to 5.5 V. Using a proprietary architecture
w ith synchronous rectification, the FAN53501 is capable
of delivering 600 mA at over 90% efficiency, w hile
maintaining a very high efficiency of over 80% at load
currents as low as 1 mA. The regulator operates at a
nominal fixed frequency of 3 MHz at full load, w hich
reduces the value of the external components to 1 µH for
the output inductor and 4.7 µF for the output capacitor.

Applications
At moderate and light loads, pulse frequency modulation is
used to operate the device in pow er-save mode w ith a
typical quiescent current of 16µA. Even w ith such a low
quiescent current, the part exhibits excellent transient
response during large load sw ings. At higher loads, the
system automatically sw itches to fixed-frequency control,
operating at 3 MHz. In shutdow n mode, the supply current
drops below 1 µA, reducing pow er consumption.

Typical Application
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.

FAN53501 — 3MHz, 600mA Step-Down DC-DC Converter in Wafer-Level Chip-Scale Packaging
Electrical Characteristics
The FAN53501 is a step-dow n sw itching voltage
regulator that delivers a fixed 1.82 V from an input voltage
supply of 2.7 V to 5.5 V. Using a proprietary architecture
w ith synchronous rectification, the FAN53501 is capable
of delivering 600mA at over 90% efficiency, w hile
maintaining a light load efficiency of over 80% at load
currents as low as 1 mA. The regulator operates at a
nominal frequency of 3 MHz at full load, w hich reduces
the value of the external components to 1 µH for the
output inductor and 4.7 µF for the output capacitor.
Control Scheme
The FAN53501 uses a proprietary non-linear, fixedfrequency PWM modulator to deliver a fast load transient
response, w hile maintaining a constant sw itching
frequency over a w ide range of operating conditions. The
regulator performance is independent of the output
capacitor ESR, allow ing for the use of ceramic output
capacitors. Although this type of operation normally
results in a sw itching frequency that varies w ith input
voltage and load current, an internal frequency loop holds
the sw itching frequency constant over a large range of
input voltages and load currents.
For very light loads, the FAN53501 operates in
discontinuous current (DCM) single-pulse PFM mode,
w hich produces low output ripple compared w ith other
PFM architectures. Transition betw een PWM and PFM is
seamless, w ith a glitch of less than 14 mV at V OUT during
the transition betw een DCM and CCM modes.
