Fairchild Fan2103 Data Handbook

Summary

The FAN2103 is a high-performance 3A synchronous buck regulator designed for power-dense applications requiring robust and highly efficient voltage conversion. This manual is an essential resource for electrical engineers and hardware designers, providing comprehensive technical specifications, detailed pinouts, performance curves, and design guidelines (including the TinyCalc tool). It supports demanding point-of-load regulation across a wide input range (3V to 24V), making it ideal for use in servers, battery-powered equipment, set-top boxes, and graphics cards that require miniature footprint solutions with minimal external components.
