Description
The FAN5631/FAN5632 is an advanced, third-generation switched capacitor step-down DC/DC converter utilizing Fairchild's proprietary ScalarPump™ technology. This innovative architecture utilizes scalar switch re-configuration and fractional switching techniques to produce low output ripple, lower ESR spikes, and improve efficiency over a wide load range. The FAN5631/FAN5632 produces a fixed regulated output voltage from an input voltage of 2.2V to 5V. Customized output voltages are available in 100mV increments from 1V to 1.8V. Contact a Fairchild sales representative for customized output voltage options. In order to maximize efficiency, the FAN5631/5632 achieves regulation by skipping pulses. Depending upon load current, the size of the switches are scaled dynamically; consequently, current spikes and EMI are minimized. An internal soft-start circuitry prevents excessive current drawn from the supply. The device is internally protected against short circuit and over temperature conditions. The FAN5631 has a dual output voltage feature. When VSEL is high, VOUT is 1.5V and when VSEL is low, VOUT is 1.2V. Other output voltage options are available upon request. In addition, the FAN5632 has an efficiency optimizer feature that, when enabled, changes the switch mode configuration from 2:1 to 1:1 at the lower threshold of VIN. The efficiency is then maintained at its peak level over a wider range of input voltages. In addition, VOUT will vary between 1.2V to 1.5V as a result of this efficiency optimization. If the efficiency optimizer is not enabled, VOUT is regulated to 1.5V. Both the FAN5631 and FAN5632 are available in a 3x3mm 10-lead MLP package.

Notes: 4. The short circuit protection is designed to protect against pre-existing short circuit conditions, i.e. assembly shorts that exist prior to device power-up. The short circuit current limit is 25mAAverage. Short circuit currents in normal operation are inherently limited by the ON-resistance of the internal FET. Since this resistance is in the range of 1Ω, in some cases thermal shutdown may occur. However, immediately following the first thermal shutdown event, the short circuit condition will be treated as pre-existing, and the load current will reduce to 25mAAverage.

Detailed Description
The FAN5631/FAN5632 switched capacitor DC/DC converter automatically configures switches to achieve high efficiency and provides a regulated output voltage by means of the Pulse Frequency Modulation (PFM) pulse-skipping mode. An internal soft-start circuit prevents excessive in-rush current drawn from the supply. The switches are split into three segments. Based on the values of VIN, VOUT and IOUT, an internal circuitry determines the number of segments to be used to reduce current spikes.
switch 4 is always ON. At the 1.6V output setting the configuration changes from 2:1 to 1:1 at VIN = 3.56V. At the 1.3V output setting the change occurs at VIN = 3.06V.
Pulse-Skipping PFM and Fractional Switch Operation
When the regulated output voltage reaches its upper limit, the switches are turned off and the output voltage reaches its lower limit. Considering a step-down 2:1 mode of operation, 1.6V output as an example, when the output reaches about 1.62V (upper limit), the control logic turns off all switches. Switching stops completely. This is pulse-skipping mode. Since the supply is isolated from the output, the output voltage will drop. Once the output drops to about 1.58V (lower limit), the device will return to regular switching mode with one quarter of each switch turning on first. Another quarter of each switch will be turned on if VOUT cannot reach regulation by the time of the third charge cycle. Full switch operation occurs only during startup or under heavy load condition, when a half switch operation cannot achieve regulation within seven charge cycles.
Step-Down Charge Pump Operation
When VIN ≥ 2 × VOUT/0.9, a 2:1 configuration, as shown in Fig. 5, is enabled. The factor 0.9 is used instead of 1 in order to account for the effect of resistive losses across the switches and to accommodate hysteresis in the voltage detector comparator. Two phase non-overlapping clock signals are generated to drive four switches. When switches 1 and 3 are ON, switches 2 and 4 are OFF and CB is charged. When switches 2 and 4 are ON, switches 1 and 3 are OFF and charge is transferred from CB to COUT. When VIN < 2 × VOUT/0.9, a 1:1 configuration, as shown in Fig. 6 is enabled. In the 1:1 configuration switch 3 is always OFF and
