This user guide supports the evaluation kit for the FAN48610. It should be used in
conjunction with the FAN48610 datasheet as well as Fairchild’s application notes and technical support team. Please visit Fairchild’s website at www.fairchildsemi.com.
1. Description
The FAN48610 evaluation board is a compact circuit including Fairchild’s FAN48610
synchronous boost regulator with Pass-Through Mode in a 9-bump Wafer-Level ChipScale Package (WLCSP). Small input/output capacitors and a 470 nH inductor ensure
smooth output regulation.
The board also features an on-board active load circuit and footprints to accommodate
additional input/output capacitors. The evaluation board provides probe access points to
all key circuit nodes so that electrical characteristics can be measured.

Most electronic loads cannot generate the kind of high-speed load transients that occur in
modern applications.
To facilitate these high-speed transient edges (~100 ns), the FAN48610 evaluation board
includes a MOSFET (Q1) and a 1 Ω current-sense resistor (R8) connected to VOUT (see Figure 2). This circuit is not rated for the dissipation associated with DC loads. 10%
maximum duty cycle is recommended.
Figure 2. On-Board Load Current Control
The NFET is wired as a source follower to provide simple amplitude and rise/fall time
control. It can be driven by a pulse generator. The load current step depends on the
applied GATE voltage and I
temperature. To simplify the load current setup, a precision 1 Ω sense resistor allows the
load current to be read at a 1 mV/1 mA rate on the XIENT pin.

3.2. Input / Output Capacitance
The FAN48610 evaluation board includes empty locations for the addition of input or
output capacitance.
The C2 location should be used to provide a suitable local charge reservoir when
inductance is introduced by long cables from the DC source.
3.3. ENABLE Header (J4)
The ENABLE header is set to ‘1’ position by default. To disable the FAN48610, move
the EN jumper to the ‘0’ position.
3.4. Signal Monitoring
VIN_S, VOUT_S, and EN signals can be monitored with an oscilloscope probe at
headers, as shown in Figure 1. Measure relative to AGND.
For best output ripple measurements, do not use VOUT_S; instead monitor directly

LIFE SUPPORT POLICY
FAIRCHILD’S PRODUCTS ARE NOT AUTHORIZED FOR USE AS CRITICAL COMPONENTS IN LIFE SUPPORT DEVICES OR SYSTEMS
WITHOUT THE EXPRESS WRITTEN APPROVAL OF THE PRESIDENT OF FAIRCHILD SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION.
As used herein:
1. Life support devices or systems are devices or systems which, (a)
are intended for surgical implant into the body, or (b) support or
sustain life, or (c) whose failure to perform when properly used in
accordance with instructions for use provided in the labeling, can be
reasonably expected to result in significant injury to the user.
ANTI-COUNTERFEITING POLICY
Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation's Anti-Counterfeiting Policy. Fairchild's Anti-Counterfeiting Policy is also stated on our external website,
www.fairchildsemi.com, under Sales Support.
Counterfeiting of semiconductor parts is a growing problem in the industry. All manufacturers of semiconductor products are experiencing
counterfeiting of their parts. Customers who inadvertently purchase counterfeit parts experience many problems such as loss of brand reputation,
substandard performance, failed applications, and increased cost of production and manufacturing delays. Fairchild is taking strong measures to
protect ourselves and our customers from the proliferation of counterfeit parts. Fairchild strongly encourages customers to purchase Fairchild parts
either directly from Fairchild or from Authorized Fairchild Distributors who are listed by country on our web page cited above. Products customers buy
either from Fairchild directly or from Authorized Fairchild Distributors are genuine parts, have full traceability, meet Fairchild's quality standards for
handling and storage and provide access to Fairchild's full range of up-to-date technical and product information. Fairchild and our Authorized
Distributors will stand behind all warranties and will appropriately address any warranty issues that may arise. Fairchild will not provide any warranty
coverage or other assistance for parts bought from Unauthorized Sources. Fairchild is committed to combat this global problem and encourage our
customers to do their part in stopping this practice by buying direct or from authorized distributors.
EXPORT COMPLIANCE STATEMENT

ultimate destination listed on the commercial invoice. Diversion contrary to U.S. law is prohibited.
U.S. origin products and products made with U.S. origin technology are subject to U.S Re-export laws. In the event of re-export, the user will be
responsible to ensure the appropriate U.S. export regulations are followed.
2. A critical component is any component of a life support device or
system whose failure to perform can be reasonably expected to
cause the failure of the life support device or system, or to affect its
safety or effectiveness.
