FX001 Buck Regulator Controller IC Equivalent & Substitute Parts
Part Overview
The FX001 is an active Buck Regulator Positive Output Step-Down DC-DC Controller IC manufactured by Texas Instruments, housed in a 24-VQFN (4x4) package with exposed pad. This PMIC functions as a transistor driver for step-down topology applications with dual outputs and single phase operation. The device integrates synchronous rectification and includes control features for enable, on-time control, and power good monitoring. Finding equivalent substitute parts is necessary to ensure supply chain flexibility, optimize inventory management, and maintain design continuity when the primary part number becomes unavailable or when alternative packaging formats are required for specific manufacturing processes.

- Output Type: Transistor Driver
- Function: Step-Down
- Output Configuration: Positive
- Topology: Buck
- Number of Outputs: 2
- Output Phases: 1
- Voltage Supply Range: 5.5V ~ 28V
- Synchronous Rectifier: Yes
- Control Features: Enable, On Time Control, Power Good
- Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 85°C (TA)
- Package / Case: 24-VFQFN Exposed Pad
- Supplier Device Package: 24-VQFN (4x4)
- Mounting Type: Surface Mount
