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 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
2
programmed through an I 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.
