Description
The FAN5361 is a 600mA or 750mA, step-down, switching
voltage regulator that delivers a fixed output from a 2.3V to
5.5V input voltage supply. Using a proprietary architecture
with synchronous rectification, the FAN5361 is capable of
delivering a peak efficiency of 92%, while maintaining
efficiency over 80% at load currents as low as 1mA.
The regulator operates at a nominal fixed frequency of
6MHz, which reduces the value of the external components
to 470nH for the output inductor and 4.7µF for the output
capacitor. The PWM modulator can be synchronized to an
external frequency source.
At moderate and light loads, pulse frequency modulation is
used to operate the device in power-save mode with a
typical quiescent current of 35µA. 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 6MHz. In shutdown mode, the supply current
drops below 1µA, reducing power consumption. For
applications that require minimum ripple or fixed frequency,
PFM mode can be disabled using the MODE pin.
The FAN5361 is available in 6-bump, 0.4mm pitch, Wafer-
Level Chip-Scale Package (WLCSP) and a 6-lead 2 x 2mm
ultra-thin MLP package (UMLP).

MODE.
Logic 1 on this pin forces the IC to stay in PWM mode. A logic 0 allows the IC to
MODE automatically switch to PFM during light loads. The regulator also synchronizes its switching
frequency to four times the frequency provided on this pin. Do not leave this pin floating.

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.
