ORDERING INFORMATION
Description
See detailed ordering and shipping information on page 2
of this data sheet.
The FAN53555 is a step−down switching voltage
regulator that delivers a digitally programmable output from
an input voltage supply of 2.5 V to 5.5 V. The output voltage
is programmed through an I2C interface capable of
operating up to 3.4 MHz.
Using a proprietary architecture with synchronous
rectification, the FAN53555 is capable of delivering 5 A
continuous at over 80% efficiency, while maintaining over
80% efficiency at load currents as low as 10 mA. Pulse
currents as high as 6.5 A can be supported by the 05 option.
The regulator operates at a nominal fixed frequency of
2.4 MHz, which reduces the value of the external
components to 330 nH for the output induction and as low
as 20 mF for the output capacitor. Additional output
capacitance can be added to improve regulation during load
transients without affecting stability. Inductance up to
1.2 mH may be used with additional output capacitance.
At moderate and light loads, Pulse Frequency Modulation
(PFM) is used to operate in Power−Save Mode with a typical
quiescent current of 60 mA. 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, operating at 2.4 MHz.
In Shutdown Mode, the supply current drops below 1 mA,
reducing power consumption. PFM Mode can be disabled if
constant frequency is desired. The FAN53555 is available in
a 20−bump, 1.6 × 2 mm, WLCSP.

OPERATION DESCRIPTION
• Reprogram the mode to enable or disable PFM;
• Control voltage transition slew rate; or
• Enable / disable the regulator.
The FAN53555 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 FAN53555
is capable of delivering 5 A at over 80% efficiency. Pulse
currents as high as 6.5 A can be supported by the 05 option.
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 for the output inductor and 22 mF for
the output capacitor. High efficiency is maintained at light
load with single−pulse PFM.
The FAN53555 integrates an I2C−compatible interface,
allowing transfers up to 3.4 Mbps. This communication
interface can be used to:
• Dynamically re−program the output voltage in 10 mV,
12.826 mV increments (option 04, 09, and 042),
12.5 mV increments (option 23), or 12.967 mV
increments (option 24);
Control Scheme
The FAN53555 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 FAN53555 operates in
Discontinuous Current Diode (DCM) single−pulse PFM,
www.onsemi.com

FAN53555
In the 01 and 05 options, BUCK_EN0 and BUCK_EN1
are initialized to 10. Using these options, VSEL must be
LOW after a POR if the IC is powering the processor used
to communicate through I2C. The 03 option has the VSEL
input to the modulator logic internally tied LOW.
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 bit
HIGH in the VSEL registers.
Table 12. HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE ENABLE
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 cannot be written to or read from. For all options
except the 04, 24, and 042 options, all register values are
kept while EN pin is LOW. For the 04, 24 042 and 79
options; registers are reset to default values when EN pin is
LOW. For all options, 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, a 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
during soft−start, allowing the IC to start into a pre−charged
capacitive load.
If large output capacitance values are used, the regulator
may fail to start. Maximum COUT capacitance for
successfully starting with a heavy constant−current load is
approximately:

VSEL Pin and I2C Programming Output Voltage
The output voltage is set by the NSELx control bits in
VSEL0 and VSEL1 registers. The output voltage for options
00, 01, 03, 05, 08, 18 and 79 is given as:
V OUT + 0.60 V ) NSELx @ 10 mV
(eq. 2)
For example, when NSEL = 011111 (31 decimal), then
VOUT = 0.60 + 0.310 = 0.91 V.
For the 04, 042, and 09 options; the output voltage is given
as:
V OUT + 0.603 ) NSELx @ 12.826 mV
(eq. 3)
For the 13 option, the output voltage is given as:
V OUT + 0.80 ) NSELx @ 10 mV
(eq. 1)
(eq. 4)
For the 23 option, the output voltage is given as:
V OUT + 0.60 V ) NSELx @ 12.5 mV
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
3−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 initialized HIGH in the 00, 04, 08, 09,
23, 24, 42 and 79 options. These options start after a POR
regardless of the state of the VSEL pin.
(eq. 5)
For the 24 option, the output voltage is given as:
V OUT + 0.603 V ) NSELx
12.967 mV (eq. 6)
Output voltage can also be controlled by toggling the
VSEL pin LOW or HIGH. VSEL LOW corresponds to
VSEL0 and VSEL HIGH corresponds to VSEL1. Upon
POR, VSEL0 and VSEL1 are reset to their default voltages,
shown in Table 9.

FAN53555
Transition Slew Rate Limiting
currents from causing damage. Sixteen consecutive current
limit cycles in current limit cause the regulator to shut down
and stay off for about 1700 μs before attempting a restart.
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.
Thermal Shutdown
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.

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 0000).
I2C Interface
The FAN53555’s serial interface is compatible with
Standard, Fast, Fast Plus, and HS Mode I2C−Bus
specifications. The FAN53555’s 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.
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.
For options 04, 042, 09, 23, and 24 where the Dynamic
Voltage Scaling (DVS) step is not 10 mV; the actual slew
rate is the corresponding number shown in Table 6 scaled by
the ratio of the DVS step to 10 mV. For example, the slew
rate of option 13 for Bin=011 is 8.00 mV / ms x 12.5 mV /
10 mV = 10.00 mV / ms.
I2C Slave Address
In hex notation, the slave address assumes a 0 LS Bit. The
hex slave address is C0 for all options except −42, which has
a hex slave address of C4.
Under−Voltage Lockout
Table 14. I2C SLAVE ADDRESS
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.

When VIN exceeds VSDWN (about 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.

representative.
Power Good (03 & 79 Option)
Bus Timing
As shown in Figure 34, 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 ample time for the data to set up before the
next SCL rising edge.
The PGOOD pin is an open−drain output indicating that
the regulator is enabled when its state is HIGH. PGOOD
pulls LOW under the following conditions:
• Regulator is disabled (EN pin LOW, disabled by I2C,
fault time−out, UVLO, OVP, over−temperature);
• Regulator is performing a soft−start.
Data change allowed
PGOOD remains HIGH during I2C initiated VOUT
transitions.

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

High−Speed (HS) Mode
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 35.
tHD;STA
SDA
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. 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 ()
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 36)
is sent by the master. While in HS Mode, packets are
separated by REPEATED START conditions (Figure 37).

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Selecting the Inductor
Output Capacitor and VOUT Ripple
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 (DI) of the regulator is:
DI +
V OUT
V IN
@
ǒ
Ǔ
V IN * V OUT
L @ f sw
Table 1 suggests 0805 capacitors, but 0603 capacitors may
be used if space is at a premium. Due to voltage effects, the
0603 capacitors have a lower in−circuit capacitance than the
0805 package, which can degrade transient response and
output ripple.
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:
(eq. 7)
The maximum average load current, IMAX(LOAD), is
related to the peak current limit, ILIM(PK), by the ripple
current such that:
DI
I MAX(LOAD) + I LIM(PK) *

ƪ
DV OUT + DI L
(eq. 8)

(eq. 9)
The increased RMS current produces higher losses
through the RDS(ON) of the IC MOSFETs as well as 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.

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:
DVOUT(SQ) [ V IN @
Table 18. EFFECTS OF INDUCTOR VALUE
(FROM 330 nH RECOMMENDED) ON REGULATOR
PERFORMANCE

where COUT is the effective output capacitance.
The capacitance of COUT decreases at higher output
voltages, which results in higher DVOUT. Equation (10) is
only valid for Continuous Current Mode (CCM) operation,
which occurs when the regulator is in PWM Mode.
For large COUT values, the regulator may fail to start under
a load. If an inductor value greater than 1.0 mH is used, at
least 30 mF of COUT should be used to ensure stability.
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.
The FAN53555 is optimized for operation with
L = 330 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 lowers 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 DI increases, the
RMS current increases, as do core and skin−effect losses.
I RMS +
(eq. 10)
f SW @ C OUT @ ESR
ESL COUT
L1
(eq. 11)
A good practice to minimize this ripple is to use multiple
output capacitors to achieve the desired COUT value. For
example, to obtain COUT = 20 mF, a single 22 mF 0805
would produce twice the square wave ripple as two x 10 mF
0805.
To minimize ESL, try to use capacitors with the lowest
ratio of length to width. 0805s have lower ESL than 1206s.
If low output ripple is a chief concern, some vendors
produce 0508 or 0612 capacitors with ultra−low ESL.
Placing additional small−value capacitors near the load also
reduces the high−frequency ripple components.
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.
For space−constrained applications, a lower current rating
for L1 can be used. The FAN53555 may still protect these
inductors in the event of a short circuit, but may not be able
to protect the inductor from failure if the load is able to draw
higher currents than the DC rating of the inductor.
Input Capacitor
The ceramic input capacitors should be placed as close as
possible between the VIN pin and PGND to minimize the
parasitic inductance. If a long wire is used to bring power to
the IC, additional “bulk” capacitance (electrolytic or
www.onsemi.com

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.
The effective CIN capacitance value decreases as VIN
increases due to DC bias effects. This has no significant
impact on regulator performance.
2. Calculate total power dissipation using:

(eq. 12)
where h is efficiency from Figure 7 through Figure
12.
3. Estimate inductor copper losses using:
Thermal Considerations
P L + I LOAD
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 FAN53555UC, θJA is 38°C/W when mounted on
its four−layer evaluation board in still air with two−ounce
outer layer copper weight and one−ounce inner layers.
Halving the copper thickness results in an increased θJA of
48°C/W.
For long−term reliable operation, the IC’s junction
temperature (TJ) should be maintained below 125°C.
To calculate maximum operating temperature (
