Description
The FAN53555 is a step-down switching voltage regulator
that delivers a digitally programmable output from an input
voltage supply of 2.5 V to 5.5 V. The output voltage is
programmed through an I
2
C interface capable of operating up
to 3.4 MHz.
Using a proprietary architecture with synchronous
rectification, the FAN53555 is capable of delivering 5 A
continuous at over 80% efficiency, while maintaining over
80% efficiency at load currents as low as 10 mA. Pulse
currents as high as 6.5 A can be supported by the 05 option.
The regulator operates at a nominal fixed frequency of
2.4 MHz, which reduces the value of the external components
to 330 nH for the output induction and as low as 20 µF for the
output capacitor. Additional output capacitance can be added
to improve regulation during load transients without affecting
stability. Inductance up to 1.2 µH may be used with additional
output capacitance.
At moderate and light loads, Pulse Frequency Modulation
(PFM) is used to operate in Power-Save Mode with a typical
quiescent current of 60 µA. 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 2.4 MHz. In
Shutdown Mode, the supply current drops below 1 µA,
reducing power consumption. PFM Mode can be disabled if
constant frequency is desired. The FAN53555 is available in a
20-bump, 1.6 x 2 mm, WLCSP.

is the lesser current to produce 40°C temperature rise or 30% inductance roll-off.

FAN53555-24, -08, and -09 Reduced Output Current (4 A Max. RMS. for 08, and 24, 3 A
Max. RMS for 09) Smaller Footprint Application
The FAN53555-24, -08, and -09 were developed to provide power for core processors with high-performance graphics
acceleration in Li-Ion-powered handheld devices. These applications require a very compact solution. The smaller input and
output capacitors in the table below assume that additional bypass capacitance exists across the battery in fairly close proximity
to the regulator(s). The C
IN
capacitors specified below are the capacitors that are required in very close proximity to VIN and
PGND
(see layout recommendations in Figure 2 below).

The device is in Shutdown Mode when this pin is LOW. All register values are kept during
shutdown. Options 00, 01, 03, 05, 08 09, 13, 18, and 23 do not reset register values when EN is raised.
The 04, 24, and 042 options reset all registers to default values when EN pin is LOW. If pulled up to a

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.
