FAN53600 / FAN53610
3 MHz, 600 mA / 1A Synchronous Buck Regulator
Features
Description
The FAN53600/10 is a 3 MHz step-down switching voltage
regulator, available in 600 mA or 1 A options, that delivers a
fixed output from an input voltage supply of 2.3 V to 5.5 V.

600 mA or 1 A Output Current Capability
26 µA Typical Quiescent Current
3 MHz Fixed-Frequency Operation
Best-in-Class Load Transient Response
Best-in-Class Efficiency
Using
a
proprietary architecture with synchronous
rectification, the FAN53600/10 is capable of delivering a
peak efficiency of 92%, while maintaining efficiency over
80% at load currents as low as 1 mA.
The regulator operates at a nominal fixed frequency of
3 MHz, which reduces the value of the external components
to as low as 1 µH for the output inductor and 4.7 µF for the
output capacitor. In addition, the Pulse-Width Modulation
(PWM) modulator can be synchronized to an external
frequency source.
2.3 V to 5.5 V Input Voltage Range
0.8 V to 3.3 V Fixed Output Voltage
Low Ripple Light-Load PFM Mode
Forced PWM and External Clock Synchronization
Internal Soft-Start
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 26 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. For
applications that require minimum ripple or fixed frequency,
PFM Mode can be disabled using the MODE pin.
