FAN5361
6MHz, 600mA TinyBuck™ Synchronous Buck Regulator
Features
Description
„ 6MHz Fixed-Frequency Operation
The FAN5361 is a 600mA, step-down, switching voltage
regulator that delivers a fixed output from an input voltage
supply of 2.3V to 5.5V. Using a proprietary architecture with
synchronous rectification, the FAN5361 is capable of
delivering a peak efficiency of 92%, while maintaining
efficiency over 80% at load currents as low as 1mA.
„ 35µA Typical Quiescent Current
„ Best-in-Class Load Transient
„ 600mA Output Current Capability
„ 2.3V to 5.5V Input Voltage Range
„ 1.0 to 1.82V Fixed Output Voltage
„ Low Ripple Light-Load PFM Mode
„ Forced PWM and External Clock Synchronization
„ Internal Soft-Start
„ Input Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO)
„ Thermal Shutdown and Overload Protection
The regulator operates at a nominal fixed frequency of 6MHz,
which reduces the value of the external components to 470nH
for the output inductor and 4.7µF for the output capacitor. The
PWM modulator can be synchronized to an external frequency
source.
At moderate and light loads, pulse frequency modulation is
used to operate the device in power-save mode with a typical
quiescent current of 35µA. 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 6MHz. In
shutdown mode, the supply current drops below 1µA,
reducing power consumption. For applications that require
minimum ripple or fixed frequency, PFM mode can be
disabled using the MODE pin.

FAN5361 — 6MHz, 600mA TinyBuck™ Synchronous Buck Regulator
Typical Performance Characteristics (Continued)
The FAN5361 is a 600mA, step-down, switching voltage
regulator that delivers a fixed output from an input voltage
supply of 2.3V to 5.5V. Using a proprietary architecture with
synchronous rectification, the FAN5361 is capable of
delivering a peak efficiency of 92%, while maintaining
efficiency over 80% at load currents as low as 1mA. The
regulator operates at a nominal frequency of 6MHz at full load,
which reduces the value of the external components to 470nH
for the inductor and 4.7µF for the output capacitor.
cycle-by-cycle. After 21µs of current limit, the regulator
triggers an over-current fault, causing the regulator to shut
down for about 86μs before attempting a restart.
Control Scheme
When EN is high, the under-voltage lock-out keeps the part
from operating until the input supply voltage rises high enough
to properly operate. This ensures no misbehavior of the
regulator during start-up or shutdown.
If the fault was caused by short circuit, the soft-start circuit
attempts to restart at 33% of normal current limit and produces
an over-current fault after about 21μs, which results in a duty
cycle of less than 25% providing current into a short.
Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO)
The FAN5361 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.
Thermal Shutdown (TSD)
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 15°C
hysteresis.
For very light loads, the FAN5361 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 18mV at VOUT during the transition between DCM
and CCM modes.
Minimum Off-Time Effect on Switching
Frequency
tOFF(MIN) is 50ns. This imposes constraints on the maximum
VOUT
that the FAN5361 can provide, while maintaining a
VIN
fixed switching frequency in PWM mode.
Combined with exceptional transient response characteristics,
the very low quiescent current of the controller (35µA)
maintains high efficiency; even at very light loads, while
preserving fast transient response for applications requiring
tight output regulation.
VOUT
≤ 1 − tOFF ( MIN ) • fSW ≈ 0.7
VIN
Enable and Soft-Start
fSW ≈
Maintaining the EN pin LOW keeps the FAN5361 in nonswitching mode, in which all circuits are off and the part draws
~50nA of current. Increasing EN above its threshold voltage
activates the part and starts the soft-start cycle. The output
ramp during soft-start is a fixed slew rate of 50mV/μs from 0 to
1VOUT, then 25mV/μs for 1.82VOUT or 12mV/µs for 1.2VOUT
until the output reaches its setpoint.
The switching frequency drops when the regulator cannot
provide sufficient duty cycle at 6Mhz to maintain regulation.
This occurs when VOUT is 1.8V or 1.82V and VIN is below 3V at
high load currents (see Figure 13).

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 four times the frequency on the
mode pin (fMODE). The mode pin must be held LOW for at least
10μs or HIGH for 10μs to ensure that the converter does not
attempt to synchronize to this pin.

FAN5361 — 6MHz, 600mA TinyBuck™ Synchronous Buck Regulator
Operation Description
The increased RMS current produces higher losses through
the RDS(ON) of the IC MOSFETs, as well as the inductor ESR.
Selecting the Inductor
The output inductor must meet both the required inductance
and the energy handling capability of the application. The
inductor value affects average current limit, the PWM-to-PFM
transition point, output voltage ripple, and efficiency.
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.
The ripple current (∆I) of the regulator is:

Table 1 shows the effects of inductance higher or lower than
the recommended 470nH on regulator performance.

Output Capacitor
The maximum average load current, IMAX(LOAD), is related to the
peak current limit, ILIM(PK) by the ripple current, given by:
IMAX(LOAD ) = ILIM(PK ) −
ΔI

Table 2 suggests 0402 capacitors. 0603 capacitors may
further improve performance in that the effective capacitance
is higher. This improves transient response and output ripple.
(4)
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:
The transition between PFM and PWM operation is
determined by the point at which the inductor valley current
crosses zero. The regulator DC current when the inductor
current crosses zero, IDCM, is:

Input Capacitor
(5)
The 2.2μF ceramic input capacitor should be placed as close
as possible between the VIN pin and GND 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 ringing that can occur between the inductance of the
power source leads and CIN.
The FAN5361 is optimized for operation with L = 470nH, but is
stable with inductances up to 1.2μH (nominal). The inductor
should be rated to maintain at least 80% of its value at ILIM(PK).
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 the core and skin effect losses.

The effective capacitance value decreases as VIN increases
due to DC Bias effects. This has no significant impact on
regulator performance.

Applications Information
There are only three external components: the inductor and
the input and output capacitors. For any buck switcher IC,
including the FAN5361, it is important to place a low-ESR
input capacitor very close to the IC, as shown in Figure 41.
The input capacitor ensures good input decoupling, which
helps reduce noise appearing at the output terminals and
ensures that the control sections of the IC do not behave
erratically due to excessive noise. This reduces switching
cycle jitter and ensures good overall performance. It is
important to place the common GND of CIN and COUT as close
as possible to the FAN5361 C2 terminal. There is some
flexibility in moving the inductor further away from the IC; in
that case, VOUT should be considered at the COUT terminal.
