Description
The FAN5350 is a step-down switching voltage
regulator that delivers a fixed 1.82V from an input
voltage supply of 2.7V to 5.5V. Using a proprietary
architecture with synchronous rectification, the
FAN5350 is capable of delivering 600mA at over 90%
efficiency, while maintaining a very high efficiency of
over 80% at load currents as low as 1mA. The regulator
operates at a nominal fixed frequency of 3MHz at full
load, which reduces the value of the external
components to 1µH for the output inductor and 4.7µF
for the output capacitor.
At moderate and light loads, pulse frequency
modulation is used to operate the device in power-save
mode with a typical quiescent current of 16µA. 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 3MHz. In shutdown
mode, the supply current drops below 1µA, reducing
power consumption.
The FAN5350 is available in a 6-lead Molded Leadless
Package (MLP) and a 5-bump Wafer Level Chip Scale
Package (WLCSP).

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.
