Description
The FAN4603 is a fully integrated synchronous DC/DC buck
converter that provides up to 600mA of output current over an
input voltage ranging from 2.3V to 5.5V. It provides a fixed
output voltage level ranging from 1.0V to 1.8V. Other voltage
options are available on request.
The FAN4603 converter is offered as an ultra-miniature
“Solder and Play” solution that requires no external
components and is able to achieve a DC accuracy of ±2%
PWM and an output ripple less than 12mV.
Total footprint is 4.0 x 2.5mm with a maximum height of
1.1mm. It can be used in small battery-powered devices and
applications with distributed DC POL requirements.
At moderate and light loads, pulse frequency modulation is
used to operate the device in power-save mode with a typical
quiescent current of 35µA. 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.
In shutdown mode, the supply current drops below 2µA,
reducing power consumption.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
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.
