Buck Regulator, 3.0 A
FAN53527
Descriptions
The FAN53527 is a step−down switching voltage regulator with an
input voltage supply range of 2.5 V to 5.5 V. Device settings can be
programmed through an I2C interface, or the IC can be operated in
stand−alone mode with pin controls for enable, output voltage, and
Auto PFM or Forced PWM operation.
Using a proprietary architecture with synchronous rectification, the
FAN53527 is capable of delivering 3.0 A continuous at over 80%
efficiency, and maintain that efficiency with load currents as low as
10 mA. At moderate and light loads, Pulse Frequency Modulation
(PFM) is used to operate in Power−Save Mode where excellent
transient response is maintained. In Shutdown Mode, the supply
current drops below 1 mA, further reducing power consumption. At
higher loads, the device automatically transitions to fixed−frequency
PWM control, operating typically at 2.4 MHz.
The FAN53527 is available in a 15−bump, 1.310 mm x 2.015 mm,
0.4 mm ball pitch, Wafer−Level Chip−Scale Package (WLCSP).

FAN53527
Operating Description
VSEL pin or simply by setting the MODE pin high. See
Table 2.
The FAN53527 is a step−down switching voltage
regulator that delivers a programmable output voltage from
an input voltage supply of 2.5 V to 5.5 V. Using a proprietary
architecture with synchronous rectification, the FAN53527
is capable of delivering 3.0 A at over 80% efficiency. The
regulator operates at a nominal frequency of 2.4 MHz at full
load, which reduces the value of the external components to
330 nH or 470 nH for the output inductor and 44 μF for the
output capacitor. High efficiency is maintained at light load
with single−pulse PFM.
An I2C−compatible interface allows transfers up to
3.4 Mbps. This communication interface can be used to:
• Dynamically re−program the output voltage in 6.25 mV
increments;
• Reprogram the mode to enable or disable PFM;
• Control voltage transition slew rate; or
• Enable / disable the regulator
Enable and Soft−Start
When the EN pin is LOW; the IC is shut down, all internal
circuits are off, and the part draws very little current. In this
state, I2C can be written to or read from as long as input
voltage is above the UVLO. The registers keep the content
when the EN pin is LOW. The registers are reset to default
values during a Power On Reset (POR). When the
OUTPUT_DISCHARGE bit in the Control register is
enabled (logic HIGH) and the EN pin is LOW or the
BUCK_ENx bit is LOW, an 11 W load is connected from
VOUT to GND to discharge the output capacitors.
Raising EN while the BUCK_ENx bit is HIGH activates
the part and begins the soft−start cycle. During soft−start, the
modulator’s internal reference is ramped slowly to minimize
surge currents on the input and prevent overshoot of the
output voltage. Synchronous rectification is inhibited,
allowing the IC to start into a pre−charged capacitive load.
If large values of output capacitance are used, the
regulator may fail to start. The maximum COUT capacitance
for starting with a heavy constant−current load is
approximately:
Control Scheme
The FAN53527 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. The
regulator performance is independent of the output
capacitor ESR, allowing for the use of ceramic output
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, the FAN53527 operates in
Discontinuous Current Mode (DCM) single−pulse PFM,
which produces low output ripple compared with other PFM
architectures. Transition between PWM and PFM is
relatively seamless, providing a smooth transition between
DCM and CCM Modes.
PFM can be disabled by programming the MODE bits in
the CONTROL register in combination with the state of the
C OUTMAX [ (I LMPK * I LOAD) @
320m
(eq. 1)
V OUT
where COUTMAX is expressed in μF and ILOAD is the
load current during soft−start, expressed in A.
If the regulator is at its current limit for 16 consecutive
current limit cycles, the regulator shuts down and enters
tri−state before reattempting soft−start 1700 ms later. This
limits the duty cycle of full output current during soft−start
to prevent excessive heating.
The IC allows for software enable of the regulator, when
EN is HIGH, through the BUCK_EN bits. BUCK_EN0 and
BUCK_EN1 are both set to “1” by default. These options
start after a POR, regardless of the state of the VSEL pin.

VSEL Pin and I2C Programming Output Voltage
VSEL0 and VSEL HIGH corresponds to VSEL1. Upon
POR, VSEL0 and VSEL1 are reset to their default voltages,
as shown in Table 1.
The output voltage is set by the NSELx control bits in
VSEL0 and VSEL1 registers. The output is given as:
(eq. 2)
V OUT + 1.000 V ) ƪ(NSELx * 64) @ 6.25 mVƫ
Transition Slew Rate Limiting
For example, if NSEL =1010000 (80 decimal), then VOUT
= 1.000 + 0.100 = 1.100 V.
Output voltage can also be controlled by toggling the
VSEL pin LOW or HIGH. VSEL LOW corresponds to
When transitioning from a low to high voltage, the IC can
be programmed for one of eight possible slew rates using the
SLEW bits in the Control register, as shown in the table
below.

Thermal Shutdown
Transitions from high to low voltage rely on the output
load to discharge VOUT to the new set point. Once the
high−to−low transition begins, the IC stops switching until
VOUT has reached the new set point.
When the die temperature increases, due to a high load
condition and/or high ambient temperature, the output
switching is disabled until the die temperature falls
sufficiently. The junction temperature at which the thermal
shutdown activates is nominally 150°C with a 17°C hysteresis.
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 proper
operation of the regulator during startup or shutdown.
Monitor Register (Reg05)
The Monitor register indicates of the regulation state of
the IC. If the IC is enabled and is regulating, its value is
(1000 0001).
Input Over−Voltage Protection (OVP)
I2C Interface
When VIN exceeds VSDWN (~ 6.2 V), the IC stops
switching to protect the circuitry from internal spikes above
6.5 V. An internal filter prevents the circuit from shutting
down due to noise spikes.
The serial interface is compatible with Standard, Fast,
Fast Plus, and HS Mode I2C BusR specifications. The SCL
line is an input and its SDA line is a bi−directional
open−drain output; it can only pull down the bus when
active. The SDA line only pulls LOW during data reads and
when signaling ACK. All data is shifted in MSB (bit 7) first.
Current Limiting
A heavy load or short circuit on the output causes the
current in the inductor to increase until a maximum current
threshold is reached in the high−side switch. Upon reaching
this point, the high−side switch turns off, preventing high
currents from causing damage. 16 consecutive current limit
cycles in current limit, cause the regulator to shut down and
stay off for about 1700 ms before attempting a restart.
I2C Slave Address
The slave address uses the standard 7 most significant bits
for defining the address and the LSB as the read/write bit. In
doing so, the first word consists of bit [7:5] and the second
word utilizes bits [4:1]. Thus the slave address is 60. Other
slave addresses can be assigned. Contact an
On Semiconductor representative.

Bus Timing
During a read from the FAN53527, the master issues a
REPEATED START after sending the register address and
before resending the slave address. The REPEATED
START is a 1 to 0 transition on SDA while SCL is HIGH, as
shown in Figure 22.
As shown in Figure 19 data is normally transferred when
SCL is LOW. Data is clocked in on the rising edge of SCL.
Typically, data transitions shortly at or after the falling edge
of SCL to allow sufficient time for the data to set up before
the next SCL rising edge.

High−Speed (HS) Mode
The protocols for High−Speed (HS), Low−Speed (LS),
and Fast−Speed (FS) Modes are identical; except the bus
speed for HS Mode is 3.4 MHz. HS Mode is entered when
the bus master sends the HS master code 00001XXX after
a START condition (Figure 20). The master code is sent in
Fast or Fast−Plus Mode (less than 1 MHz clock); slaves do
not ACK this transmission.
The master generates a REPEATED START condition
(Figure 22) that causes all slaves on the bus to switch to HS
Mode. The master then sends I2C packets, as described
above, using the HS Mode clock rate and timing.
The bus remains in HS Mode until a STOP bit (Figure 21)
is sent by the master. While in HS Mode, packets are
separated by REPEATED START conditions (Figure 22).
Figure 19. Data Transfer Timing
Each bus transaction begins and ends with SDA and SCL
HIGH. A transaction begins with a START condition, which
is defined as SDA transitioning from 1 to 0 with SCL HIGH,
as shown in Figure 20.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Selecting the Inductor
Increasing the inductor value produces lower RMS
currents, but degrades transient response. For a given
physical inductor size, increased inductance usually results
in an inductor with lower saturation current.
The output inductor must meet both the required
inductance and the energy−handling capability of the
application. The inductor value affects the average current
limit, the output voltage ripple, and the efficiency.
The ripple current (ΔI) of the regulator is:
DI [
V OUT
V IN
@
ǒ
V IN*V OUT
L @ f SW
Ǔ
Inductor Current Rating
The current-limit circuit can allow substantial peak
currents to flow through L1 under worst−case conditions. If
it is possible for the load to draw such currents, the inductor
should be capable of sustaining the current or failing in a safe
manner.
(eq. 3)
The maximum average load current, IMAX(LOAD), is
related to the peak current limit, ILIM(PK), by the ripple
current such that:
I MAX(LOAD) + I LIM(PK)*
DI

Output Capacitor and VOUT Ripple
(eq. 4)
Increasing COUT has negligible effect on loop stability
and can be increased to reduce output voltage ripple or to
improve transient response. Output voltage ripple, DVOUT,
is calculated by:
The FAN53527 is optimized for operation with
L = 470 nH, but is stable with inductances up to 1.0 μH
(nominal). The inductor should be rated to maintain at least
80% of its value at ILIM(PK). Failure to do so decreases the
amount of DC current the IC can deliver.
Efficiency is affected by the inductor DCR and inductance
value. Decreasing the inductor value for a given physical
size typically decreases the DCR; but since ΔI increases, the
RMS current increases, as do core and skin−effect losses:

8 @ f SW @ C OUT
ƫ
(eq. 6)
where COUT is the effective output capacitance.
The capacitance of COUT decreases at higher output
voltages, which results in higher DVOUT. Equation 6 is only
valid for CCM operation, which occurs in PWM Mode.
The FAN53527 can be used with either 2 x 22 mF (0603)
or 2 x 47 mF (0603) output capacitor configuration. If a
tighter ripple and transient specification is need from the
FAN53527, then the 2 x 47 mF is recommended.
The lowest DVOUT is obtained when the IC is in PWM
Mode and, therefore, operating at 2.4 MHz. In PFM Mode,
fSW is reduced, causing DVOUT to increase.
(eq. 5)
The increased RMS current produces higher losses
through the RDS(ON) of the IC MOSFETs and the inductor
ESR.
Increasing the inductor value produces lower RMS
currents, but degrades transient response. For a given
physical inductor size, increased inductance usually results
in an inductor with lower saturation current.
The increased RMS current produces higher losses
through the RDS(ON) of the IC MOSFETs and the inductor
ESR.
ESL Effects
The Equivalent Series Inductance (ESL) of the output
capacitor network should be kept low to minimize the

square−wave component of output ripple that results from
the division ratio COUT ESL and the output inductor (LOUT).
The square−wave component due to the ESL can be
estimated as:
DV OUT(SQ) [ V IN @
ESL COUT
L1
2. Calculate total power dissipation using:

P T + V OUT @ I LOAD @ h * 1
Ǔ
(eq. 8)
3. Estimate inductor copper losses using:
2
(eq. 7)
P L + I LOAD @ DCR L
(eq. 9)
4. Determine IC losses by removing inductor losses
(step 3) from total dissipation:
A good practice to minimize this ripple is to use multiple
output capacitors to achieve the desired COUT value.
To minimize ESL, use capacitors with the lowest ratio of
length to width. Placing additional small−value capacitors
near the load also reduces the high−frequency ripple
components.
P IC + P T * P L
(eq. 10)
5. Determine device operating temperature:
DT + P IC @ Q JA
T IC + T A ) DT
(eq. 11)
and
Note that the RDS(ON) of the power MOSFETs increases
linearly with temperature at about 1.4%/°C. This causes the
efficiency (η) to degrade with increasing die temperature.
Input Capacitor
The ceramic input capacitors should be placed as close as
possible between the VIN and PGND pins to minimize the
parasitic inductance. If a long wire is used to bring power to
the IC, additional “bulk” capacitance (electrolytic or
tantalum) should be placed between CIN and the power
source lead to reduce under−damped ringing that can occur
between the inductance of the power source leads and CIN.
Layout Recommendations
1. The input capacitor (CIN) should be connected as
close as possible to the VIN and GND pins.
Connect to VIN and GND using only top metal.
Do not route through vias.
2. Place the inductor (L) as close as possible to the
IC. Use short wide traces for the main current
paths.
3. The output capacitor (COUT) should be as close as
possible to the IC. Connection to GND should be
on top metal. Feedback signal connection to
VOUT should be routed away from noisy
components and traces (e.g. SW line). For remote
sensing application, place one or all output
capacitors near the load and if there are also output
capacitors placed near the inductor, the maximum
trace resistance between the inductor and the load
should not exceed 30 mW.
Thermal Considerations
Heat is removed from the IC through the solder bumps to
the PCB copper. The junction−to−ambient thermal
resistance (θJA) is largely a function of the PCB layout (size,
copper weight, and trace width) and the temperature rise
from junction to ambient (ΔT).
For the FAN53527, θJA is 42°C/W when mounted on its
four−layer with vias evaluation board in still air with 2 oz.
outer layer copper weight and 1 oz. inner layer.
For long−term reliable operation, the junction
temperature (TJ) should be maintained below 125°C.
To calculate maximum operating temperature (
