Description
The FAN5353 is a step-down switching voltage regulator that
delivers an adjustable output from an input voltage supply of
2.7V to 5.5V. Using a proprietary architecture with
synchronous rectification, the FAN5353 is capable of
delivering 3A at over 85% efficiency. The regulator operates
at a nominal fixed frequency of 3MHz, which reduces the
value of the external components to 470nH for the output
inductor and 10µF for the output capacitor. Additional output
capacitance can be added without affecting stability if tighter
regulation during transients is required. The regulator
includes an open-drain power good (PGOOD) signal that
pulls low when the output is not in regulation.
In shutdown mode, the supply current drops below 1µA,
reducing power consumption.
FAN5353 is available in a 12-lead 3x3.5mm MLP package.

Description
FB.
Connect to resistor divider. The IC regulates this pin to 0.8V.
VOUT.
Sense pin for VOUT. Connect to COUT.
Power Ground.
Low-side MOSFET is referenced to this pin. CIN and COUT should be returned with a
minimal path to these pins.
Switching Node.
Connect to inductor.
Ground.
All signals are referenced to this pin.
Power Input Voltage.
Connect to input power source. Connect to CIN with minimal path.
IC Bias Supply.
Connect to input power source. Use a separate bypass capacitor CVCC from this pin
to the P1 GND terminal between pins 1 and 12.
Enable.
The device is in shutdown mode when this pin is LOW. Do not leave this pin floating.
Power Good.
This open-drain pin pulls LOW if the output falls out of regulation or is in soft-start.
This pin has no function and should be tied to GND.
Note:
2. P1 is the bottom heat-sink pad. Ground plane should flow through pins 3, 4, 12, and P1 and can be extended through pin
11 if PGOOD’s function is not required to improve IC cooling.

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.
