Minimum PFM Frequency Avoids Audible Noise
The FAN5354 is a step-down switching voltage regulator that
delivers an adjustable output from an input voltage supply of
2.7 V to 5.5 V. Using a proprietary architecture with
synchronous rectification, the FAN5354 is capable of
delivering 3 A at over 85% efficiency, while maintaining a
very high efficiency of over 80% at load currents as low as
2 mA. The regulator operates at a nominal fixed frequency of
3 MHz, which reduces the value of the external components
to 470 nH for the output inductor and 10 µF for the output
capacitor. Additional output capacitance can be added to
improve regulation during load transients without affecting
stability and 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 the device in power-save mode
with a typical quiescent current of 270 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 3 MHz. In shutdown mode, the supply current
drops below 1 µA, reducing power consumption. PFM mode
can be disabled if constant frequency is desired. To avoid
audible noise, the regulator limits its minimum PFM
frequency. The FAN5354 is available in 12-lead 3x3.5 mm
MLP package.

FAN5354 — 3 MHz, 3 A Synchronous Buck Regulator
Typical Characteristics
down and waits 1200 s before attempting a restart. If the
regulator is at its current limit for more than about 60 s, the
regulator shuts down before restarting 1200 s later. This
limits the COUT capacitance when a heavy load is applied
during the startup. For a typical FAN5354 starting with a
resistive load:
The FAN5354 is a step-down switching voltage regulator
that delivers an adjustable output from an input voltage
supply of 2.7 V to 5.5 V. Using a proprietary architecture
with synchronous rectification, the FAN5354 is capable of
delivering 3 A at over 80% efficiency. The regulator
operates at a nominal frequency of 3 MHz at full load,
which reduces the value of the external components to
470 nH for the output inductor and 20 µF for the output
capacitor. High efficiency is maintained at light load with
single-pulse PFM mode.
COUTMAX ( F )  400 100  ILOAD( A )
RLOAD
Control Scheme
Synchronous rectification is inhibited during soft-start,
allowing the IC to start into a pre-charged load.
The FAN5354 uses a proprietary non-linear, fixed-frequency
PWM modulator to deliver a fast load transient response,
while maintaining a constant switching frequency over a wide
range of operating conditions. The regulator performance is
independent of the output capacitor ESR, allowing for the
use of ceramic output capacitors. Although this type of
operation normally results in a switching frequency that
varies with input voltage and load current, an internal
frequency loop holds the switching frequency constant over
a large range of input voltages and load currents.
MODE Pin – External Frequency
Synchronization
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. If the MODE pin is toggled, the converter
synchronizes its switching frequency to the frequency on the
mode pin (fMODE).
The MODE pin is internally buffered with a Schmitt trigger,
which allows the MODE pin to be driven with slow rise and
fall times. An asymmetric duty cycle for frequency
synchronization is permitted as long as the minimum time
below VIL(MAX) or above VIH(MAX) is 100 ns.
For very light loads, the FAN5354 operates in discontinuous
current (DCM) single-pulse PFM mode, which produces low
output ripple compared with other PFM architectures.
Transition between PWM and PFM is seamless, with a glitch
of less than 18 mV at VOUT during the transition between
DCM and CCM modes. The regulator limits minimum PFM
frequency to typically 26 kHz.
PGOOD Pin
The PGOOD pin is an open-drain that pin indicates that the
IC is in regulation when its state is open. PGOOD pulls LOW
under the following conditions:
PFM mode can be disabled by holding the MODE pin HIGH.
The IC synchronizes to the MODE pin frequency. When
synchronizing to the MODE pin, PFM mode is disabled.
Setting the output voltage
The output voltage is set by the R1, R2, and VREF (0.8 V):
R1 VOUT  VREF

R2
VREF
(1)
R1  0.8
VOUT  0.8 
The IC has operated in cycle-by-cycle current limit for
eight or more consecutive PWM cycles.
2.
The circuit is disabled, either after a fault occurs, or
when EN is LOW.
3.
The IC is performing a soft-start.
When EN is HIGH, the under-voltage lockout keeps the part
from operating until the input supply voltage rises high
enough to properly operate. This ensures no misbehavior of
the regulator during startup or shutdown.
(2)
For example, for VOUT=1.2 V, R1=100 kΩ, R2=200 kΩ.
Input Over-Voltage Protection (OVP)
Output should not be set above 2.0 V to avoid operating the
device at above 90% duty cycle.
When VIN exceeds VSDWN (about 6.2 V), the IC stops
switching to protect the circuitry from internal spikes
above 6.5 V. An internal 40 s filter prevents the circuit
from shutting down due to noise spikes. For the circuit to
fully protect the internal circuitry, the VIN slew rate above
6.2 V must be limited to no more than 15 V / ms when the
IC is switching.
Enable and Soft Start
When the EN pin is LOW, the IC is shut down, all internal
circuits are off, and the part draws very little current. Raising
EN above its threshold voltage activates the part and starts
the soft-start cycle. During soft-start, the modulator’s internal
reference is ramped slowly to minimize any large surge
currents on the input and prevents any overshoot of the
output voltage.
The IC protects itself if VIN overshoots to 7 V during initial
power-up as long as the VIN transition from 0 to 7 V occurs in
less than 10 s (10% to 90%).
If large values of output capacitance are used, the regulator
may fail to start. If VOUT fails to achieve regulation within
320 s from the beginning of soft-start, the regulator shuts

FAN5354 — 3 MHz, 3 A Synchronous Buck Regulator
Operation Description
I
(6)
2
The FAN5354 is optimized for operation with L=470 nH, but
is stable with inductances up to 1.2 H (nominal). The
inductor should be rated to maintain at least 80% of its value
at ILIM(PK). Failure to do so lowers the amount of DC current
the IC can deliver.
IMAX(LOAD)  ILIM(PK ) 
A heavy load or short circuit on the output causes the current
in the inductor to increase until a maximum current threshold
is reached in the high-side switch. Upon reaching this point,
the high-side switch turns off, preventing high currents from
causing damage. 16 consecutive PWM cycles in current limit
cause the regulator to shut down and stay off for about
1200 s before attempting a restart.
Efficiency is affected by the inductor DCR and inductance
value. Decreasing the inductor value for a given physical
size typically decreases the DCR; but since ∆I increases, the
RMS current increases, as do core and skin-effect losses.
In the event of a short circuit, the soft-start circuit attempts to
restart and produces an over-current fault after about 50 s,
which results in a duty cycle of less than 10%, providing
current into a short circuit.
Thermal Shutdown
IRMS 
When the die temperature increases, due to a high load
condition and/or a high ambient temperature, the output
switching is disabled until the temperature on the die has
fallen sufficiently. The junction temperature at which the
thermal shutdown activates is nominally 150°C with a
20°C hysteresis.

the recommended 470 nH on regulator performance.

Application Information
Note: Table 1 suggests 0805 capacitors, but 0603
capacitors may be used if space is at a premium. Due to
voltage effects, the 0603 capacitors have a lower in-circuit
capacitance than the 0805 package, which can degrade
transient response and output ripple.
Selecting the Inductor
The output inductor must meet both the required inductance
and the energy handling capability of the application. The
inductor value affects the average current limit, the output
voltage ripple, and the efficiency.
Increasing COUT has no effect on loop stability and can
therefore be increased to reduce output voltage ripple or to
improve transient response. Output voltage ripple, ∆VOUT, is:

Transient Response
For space-constrained applications, a lower current rating for
L1 can be used. The FAN5354 may still protect these
inductors in the event of a short circuit, but may not be able
to protect the inductor from failure if the load is able to draw
higher currents than the DC rating of the inductor.

The FAN5354’s current limit circuit can allow a peak current
of 5.5 A to flow through L1 under worst-case conditions. If it
is possible for the load to draw that much continuous current,
the inductor should be capable of sustaining that current or
failing in a safe manner.

Increasing the inductor value produces lower RMS currents,
but degrades transient response. For a given physical
inductor size, increased inductance usually results in an
inductor with lower saturation current.
tON(MIN) and tOFF(MIN) are both 45 ns. This imposes constraints
on the maximum VOUT that the FAN5354 can provide,

while still maintaining a fixed switching frequency in PWM
mode. While regulation is unaffected, the switching
frequency will drop when the regulator cannot provide
sufficient duty cycle at 3 MHz to maintain regulation.

The increased RMS current produces higher losses through

Layout Recommendations
The layout recommendations below highlight various topcopper planes by using different colors. It includes COUT3
to demonstrate how to add COUT capacitance to reduce
ripple and transient excursions. The inductor in this
example is the TDK VLC5020T-R47N.
If an inductor value greater than 1.0 H is used, at least
30 F of COUT should be used to ensure stability.
As can be seen in Figure 8 the lowest ∆VOUT is obtained
when the IC is in PWM mode and, therefore, operating at
3 MHz. In PFM mode, fSW is reduced, causing ∆VOUT to
increase. At extremely light loads, the output ripple
decreases, as the minimum frequency circuit becomes active
and the effective tON (high-side on-time) decreases.
VCC and VIN should be connected together by a thin trace
some distance from the IC, or through a resistor (shown as
R3 below), to isolate the switching spikes on PVIN from the
IC’s bias supply on VCC. If PCB area is at a premium, the
connection between PVIN and VCC can be made on
another PCB layer through vias. The via impedance
provides some filtering for the high-frequency spikes
generated on PVIN.
ESL Effects
The ESL (Equivalent Series Inductance) of the output
capacitor network should be kept low to minimize the square
wave component of output ripple that results from the division
ratio COUT ESL and the output inductor (LOUT). The square
wave component due to the ESL can be estimated as:
VOUT ( SQ )  VIN 
ESLCOUT
L1
PGND and AGND connect through the thermal pad of the
IC. Extending the PGND and AGND planes improves IC
cooling. The IC analog ground (AGND) is bonded to P1
between pins 1 and 12. Large AC ground currents should
return to pins 3 and 4 (PGND) either through the copper
under P1 between pins 6 and 7 or through a direct trace
from pins 3 and 4 (as shown for COUT1-COUT3).
(9)
A good practice to minimize this ripple is to use multiple
output capacitors to achieve the desired COUT value. For
example, to obtain COUT=20 F, a single 22 F 0805 would
produce twice the square wave ripple of 2 x 10 F 0805.
EN and PGOOD connect through vias to the system
control logic.
To minimize ESL, try to use capacitors with the lowest ratio
of length to width. 0805s have lower ESL than 1206s. If low
output ripple is a chief concern, some vendors produce 0508
or 0612 capacitors with ultra-low ESL. Placing additional
small value capacitors near the load also reduces the highfrequency ripple components.
CIN1 is an optional device used to provide a lower
impedance path for high-frequency switching edges/spikes,
which helps to reduce SW node and VIN ringing. CIN should
be placed as close as possible between PGND and VIN as
shown below.
PGND connection back to inner planes should be
accomplished as series of vias distributed among the COUT
return track and CIN return plane between pins 6 and 7.
Input Capacitor
The 10F ceramic input capacitor should be placed as close
as possible between the VIN pin and PGND to minimize the
parasitic inductance. If a long wire is used to bring power to
the IC, additional “bulk” capacitance (electrolytic or tantalum)
should be placed between CIN and the power source lead to
reduce under-damped ringing that can occur between the
inductance of the power source leads and CIN.
The effective CIN capacitance value decreases as VIN
increases due to DC bias effects. This has no significant
impact on regulator performance.
