Please note: As part of the Fairchild Semiconductor integration, some of the Fairchild orderable part numbers
will need to change in order to meet ON Semiconductor’s system requirements. Since the ON Semiconductor
product management systems do not have the ability to manage part nomenclature that utilizes an underscore
(_), the underscore (_) in the Fairchild part numbers will be changed to a dash (-). This document may contain
device numbers with an underscore (_). Please check the ON Semiconductor website to verify the updated
device numbers. The most current and up-to-date ordering information can be found at

Description
The FAN5902 is a high-efficiency, low-noise,
synchronous, step-down DC-to-DC converter designed
for powering the radio frequency power amplifiers
(RFPA) in 3G mobile handsets and other mobile
applications. It provides up to 800mA of output current
over an input voltage range of 2.7V to 5.5V. The output
voltage can be dynamically adjusted from 0.4V up to
3.4V, proportional to an analog input voltage ranging
from 0.2V to 1.7V provided by an external DAC. This
allows supplying the RFPA with the voltage level that
provides optimum Power Added Efficiency (PAE).
An integrated bypass FET automatically switches on
when the battery voltage drops too close to the output
voltage (when V
OUT
=V
BAT
-250mV). The bypass
transition is controlled by a slew rate controller to limit
the inrush current and reduce the RFPA gain deviation.
The FAN5902 offers fast transition times, allowing
changes to the output voltage in less than 20µs.
The FAN5902 operates at 6MHz, enabling the use of a
small, low-value inductor of 470nH. A current-mode
control loop with fast transient response ensures
excellent line and load regulation.
The FAN5902 improves the RFPA power efficiency and
increases the talk/connection time in 3G handsets.
The FAN5902 is available in a 12-lead MLP package
and 12-bump WLCSP.
