Features
91% Efficiency at 3MHz
800mA or 1A Output Current

Description
The FAN5355 device is a high-frequency, ultra-fast transient
response, synchronous step-down DC-DC converter
optimized for low-power applications using small, low-cost
inductors and capacitors. The FAN5355 supports up to
(1)
800mA or 1A load current.
The device is ideal for mobile phones and similar portable
applications powered by a single-cell Lithium-Ion battery. With
2
an output voltage range adjustable via I C™ interface from
0.75V to 1.975V, the device supports low-voltage DSPs and
processors, core power supplies in smart phones, PDAs, and
handheld computers.
The FAN5355 operates at 3MHz (nominal) fixed switching
frequency using either its internal oscillator or external SYNC
frequency.
During light-load conditions, the regulator includes a PFM
mode to enhance light-load efficiency. The regulator
transitions smoothly between PWM and PFM modes with no
glitches on V
OUT
. Normal PFM (NPFM) mode offers the lowest
quiescent current, at the expense of setpoint accuracy.
Enhanced PFM (EPFM) mode features higher accuracy, as
well as a 25kHz minimum PFM frequency, designed to
prevent the regulator from operating in the audible range. In
shutdown, the current consumption is reduced to less than
2μA, using software shutdown (EN = 1 with EN_DCDC = 0),
and less than 200nA in hardware shutdown (EN = 0).
The serial interface is compatible with Fast/Standard and
2
High-Speed mode I C specifications, allowing transfers up to
3.4Mbps. This interface is used for dynamic voltage scaling
with 12.5mV voltage steps, for reprogramming the mode of
operation (PFM or Forced PWM), or to disable/enable the
output voltage.
The chip's advanced protection features include short-circuit
protection and current and temperature limits. During a
sustained over-current event, the IC shuts down and restarts
after a delay to reduce average power dissipation into a fault.
During start-up, the IC controls the output slew rate to
minimize input current and output overshoot at the end of soft-
start. The IC maintains a consistent soft-start ramp, regardless
of output load during start-up.
The FAN5355 is available in 10-lead MLP (3x3mm) and
12-bump CSP packages.

Description
Power GND.
Power return for gate drive and power transistors. Connect to AGND on PCB. The
connection from this pin to the bottom of C
IN
should be as short as possible.
Switching Node.
Connect to output inductor.
Power Input Voltage.
Connect to input power source. The connection from this pin to C
IN
should be as
short as possible.
Sync.
When toggling and SYNC_EN bit is HIGH, the regulator synchronizes to the frequency on this pin.
In PWM mode, when this pin is statically LOW or statically HIGH, or when its frequency is outside of the
specified capture range, the regulator’s frequency is controlled by its internal 3MHz clock.
Analog Input Voltage.
Connect to input power source as close as possible to the input bypass
capacitor.
Analog GND.
This is the signal ground reference for the IC. All voltage levels are measured with respect
to this pin.
Enable.
When this pin is HIGH, the circuit is enabled. When LOW, quiescent current is minimized. This
pin should not be left floating.
SDA.

C interface serial data.
Output Voltage Monitor.
Tie this pin to the output voltage. This is a signal input pin to the control circuit
and does not carry DC current.
Voltage Select.
When HIGH, V
OUT
is set by VSEL1. When LOW, V
OUT
is set by VSEL0. This behavior
can be overridden through I

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.

The I C interface operates with t

= 0 as long as the pull-up voltage for SDA and SCL is less than 2.5V. If voltage
2
swings greater than 2.5V are required (for example if the I C bus is pulled up to V
IN
), the minimum t
HD;DAT
must be
2
increased to 80ns. Most I C masters change SDA near the midpoint between the falling and rising edges of SCL, which
provides ample t

.
