Description
The FAN5631/FAN5632 is an advanced, thirdgeneration 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, lower ESR
spikes, and improve efficiency over a wide load range.
The FAN5631/FAN5632 produces a fixed regulated
output voltage from an input voltage of 2.2V to 5V.
To maximize efficiency, the FAN5631/5632 achieves
regulation by skipping pulses. Depending on load
current, the size of the switches are scaled dynamically;
consequently, current spikes and EMI are minimized.
An internal soft-start circuitry prevents excessive current
from the supply. The device is internally protected
against short-circuit and over-temperature conditions.
The FAN5631 has a dual-output voltage feature. When

The FAN5632 has an efficiency optimizer feature that,

range of input voltages. In addition, V

Enable Input Pin. If a logic high is applied to the EN pin, the device is enabled. If a logic low is
applied, the device is disabled and the supply current is reduced to less than 1µA. The EN pin
cannot be left floating and must be connected to a logic high or logic low level.

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.
