Description
The FAN5362 is a 500mA or 705mA, step-down, switching
voltage regulator that delivers a fixed output voltage from
an input voltage supply of 2.7V to 5.5V. Using a proprietary
architecture with synchronous rectification, the FAN5362 is
capable of delivering a peak efficiency of 96%, while
maintaining efficiency over 90% with load currents as
low as 1mA.
This regulator transitions seamlessly into and out of 100%
duty cycle operation when the supply dips to or below the
regulation setpoint and smoothly recovers full regulation
without overshoot when the supply recovers.
The regulator operates at a nominal fixed frequency of
3MHz, which reduces the value of the external components
to 1µH 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 45µA. 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. For
applications that require minimum ripple or fixed frequency,
PFM mode can be disabled using the MODE pin.
The FAN5362 is available in 6-bump, 0.4mm pitch, Wafer-
Level Chip-Scale Package (WLCSP) and 6-Lead 2 x 2mm
Ultrathin Molded Leadless Package (UMLP).

Description
Logic 1 on this pin forces the IC to stay in PWM mode. A logic 0 allows the IC to automatically switch
to PFM during light loads. The regulator also synchronizes its switching frequency to two 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.
