onsemi FAN53745 Synchronous Buck Regulator

Introduction

The onsemi FAN53745 Synchronous Buck Regulator is a highly efficient step-down DC-DC converter designed for low power applications. With its ability to deliver a regulated output voltage from a wide input supply range, this regulator is particularly suited for portable devices.

Part Description

The FAN53745 operates with an input voltage range of 2.3V to 5.5V and features built-in power transistors along with synchronous rectification. This combination allows the device to achieve high efficiency, especially in portable applications. It typically runs in PWM mode at a fixed frequency of 3.33MHz but can switch to PFM mode under moderate and light loads to maintain efficiency. Additionally, the regulator includes a low-power shutdown mode to minimize power consumption when not in use. The device is housed in a compact 6-bump, 0.4mm pitch wafer-level chip-scale package (WLCSP).
