About this manual

The FAN5601 is a third‑generation switched‑capacitor step‑down DC/DC converter that uses Fairchild’s ScalarPump™ technology. It delivers a fixed regulated output voltage with low ripple, low EMI, and high efficiency across a wide load range. The device includes internal soft‑start, short‑circuit, and over‑temperature protection, and its shutdown mode isolates the output from the input.

Typical applications include handheld computers, cell phones, digital cameras, and core supply for next‑generation processors. The part is offered in a 6‑lead 3 × 3 mm MLP package and supports output voltages of 1.3 V or 1.8 V with up to 250 mA of output current.
