The FAN5601 is an advanced third generation switched capacitor step down DC/DC converter utilizing Fairchild’s proprietary
ScalarPump™ technology. This innovative architecture utilizes
scalar switch re-configuration and fractional switching techniques to produce low output ripple, low ESR spikes and
improve efficiency over a wide load range.
The FAN5601 produces a fixed regulated output from 2.2V to
5V input voltage. Customized output voltages are available in
100mV increments from 1V to 1.8V. Contact marketing for customized outputs.
In order to maximize efficiency, the FAN5601 achieves
regulation by skipping pulses. Depending upon load current, the
size of the switches is scaled dynamically, consequently, current
spikes and EMI are minimized. An internal soft start circuitry
prevents excessive current drawn from the supply. The device is
internally protected against short circuit and over temperature
conditions.
The FAN5601 is available in 6-lead 3x3mm MLP.

4. No load supply current is measured when the oscillator is off.
5. The short circuit protection is designed to protect against pre-existing short circuit conditions, i.e. assembly shorts
that exist prior to device power-up. The short circuit current limit is 25mA

in some cases thermal shutdown may occur. However, immediately following the first thermal shutdown event, the
short circuit condition will be treated as pre-existing, and the load current will reduce to 25mA
