FAN53528
3.0 A, 2.4 MHz, Digitally
Programmable Buck
Regulator
Descriptions
The FAN53528 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
FAN53528 is capable of delivering 3.0 A continuous at over 80%
efficiency, maintaining that efficiency at load currents as low as
10 mA. The regulator operates at a nominal fixed frequency of
2.4 MHz, which reduces the value of the external components.
Additional output capacitance can be added to improve regulation
during load transients without affecting stability.
At moderate and light−loads, Pulse Frequency Modulation (PFM) is
used to operate in Power−Save Mode with a typical quiescent current
of 50 mA at room temperature. 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 fixed frequency is desired. The
FAN53528 is available in a 15−bump, 1.310 mm × 2.015 mm, 0.4 mm
ball pitch WLCSP.

OPERATING DESCRIPTION
The FAN53528 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 FAN53528
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 mF 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.
For very light−loads, the FAN53528 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
VSEL pin. See table in the Control Register 02h.
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. For option EUC48X,
there is 5 ms delay time from EN HIGH to VOUT start
soft−start. And for options FAN53528BUC08X,
FAN53528GUC48X and FAN53528DUC40X, there is no
EN Delay. 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.
Control Scheme
The FAN53528 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.

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.

where COUTMAX is expressed in μF and ILOAD is the load
current during soft−start, expressed in A.
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.
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 initialized HIGH. These options start
after a POR, regardless of the state of the VSEL pin.
Input Over−Voltage Protection (OVP)
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.
Current Limiting
Table 10. HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE ENABLE
Pins
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.

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.
VSEL Pin and I2C Programming Output Voltage
The output voltage is set by the NSELx control bits in
VSEL0 and VSEL1 registers. The output is given as:
V OUT + 0.35 V ) NSELx
6.25 mV
Slew Rate
(eq. 2)
For example, if NSEL =1010000 (80 decimal), then
VOUT = 0.35 + 0.5 = 0.85 V.
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.
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).
I2C Interface
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
Transition Slew Rate Limiting
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 Table 11.

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).

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Selecting the Inductor
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 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:

The maximum average load current, IMAX(LOAD), is

current such that:

Inductor Current Rating
The FAN53528 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 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:
I RMS +
IMAX(LOAD)
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 FAN53528 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. Refer to
Table 2 for the recommended inductors.

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 FAN53528, 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 (
