Product details
Overview
DA9121-A0V72 from Renesas Electronics is a high-performance, single-channel dual-phase synchronous buck DC-DC converter delivering up to 10 A at 0.3 V–1.9 V output, operating from 2.5 V–5.5 V input, with 4 MHz switching frequency and ±1 % static voltage accuracy. It integrates power FETs, supports remote sensing, and targets CPU/GPU/DDR core rails in space-constrained mobile SoC modules.
For engineers reviewing the DA9121-A0V72 datasheet, DA9121-A0V72 pinout, DA9121-A0V72 application, or DA9121-A0V72 equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-phase current capability, I²C-compatible FM+ interface for dynamic voltage control, integrated thermal/over-current protection, and WLCSP/WLP package compatibility with Li-ion battery-powered handheld systems.
Technical Context
The DA9121-A0V72 implements a synchronous dual-phase buck topology with fully integrated high-side and low-side MOSFETs (RON_PMOS = 36 mΩ, RON_NMOS = 17 mΩ per phase), enabling efficient 10 A delivery without external FETs. It supports automatic phase shedding at ~2.0 A and operates in PWM, PFM, or AUTO mode to optimize light-load efficiency.
Dynamic voltage control (DVC) is implemented via register writes or GPIO-triggered voltage selection between two preconfigured outputs (A/B registers), with programmable slew rates (10 mV per 0.5–8 µs). Remote differential feedback (FB1P/FB1N) ensures ±1 % static accuracy across PCB routing variations, while thermal warning (115–135 °C) and critical shutdown (130–150 °C) thresholds are monitored internally.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 10 A max - supports full-core CPU/GPU loads in SIPP modules without external current sharing. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-phase buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DA9122-A0V72 | Same family; dual-buck (Buck1 + Buck2), each up to 10 A; separate FB/PGND per channel; larger 28WLCSP package. | Supports independent CPU + GPU or CPU + DDR rails; not single-rail replacement. | Select DA9122-A0V72 only when two isolated, independently controlled 10 A rails are required. |
| TPS62480RTWR | Single-channel dual-phase buck; 12 A max; 2.7–5.5 V input; 0.6–1.8 V output; 2.5 MHz; QFN-16 package. | Higher current rating but lower switching frequency; lacks remote sensing and integrated thermal warning flag. | Choose TPS62480RTWR for cost-sensitive designs needing >10 A or QFN assembly compatibility, accepting reduced feature set. |
Compared with DA9121-A0V72, DA9122-A0V72 adds a second independent buck channel at the cost of larger footprint and higher complexity, while TPS62480RTWR trades integrated supervision and sensing for higher peak current and simpler packaging-neither is pin-compatible, and both require PCB redesign.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current supported by the DA9121-A0V72?
The DA9121-A0V72 supports up to 10 A continuous output current in dual-phase configuration. This rating assumes proper thermal management using the 24WLCSP package on a 2S2P4L JEDEC board, with junction temperature maintained below 125 °C. The device uses automatic phase shedding to improve light-load efficiency, transitioning from 2-phase to 1-phase operation near 2.0 A.
Does the DA9121-A0V72 require external MOSFETs or diodes?
No, the DA9121-A0V72 integrates both high-side and low-side power MOSFETs (36 mΩ PMOS and 17 mΩ NMOS per phase), eliminating the need for external FETs or Schottky diodes. Its architecture relies solely on two small 0.10 µH inductors and four 10 µF output capacitors, significantly reducing bill-of-materials count and PCB area compared to controller-based solutions.
How does dynamic voltage control (DVC) work on the DA9121-A0V72?
Dynamic voltage control on the DA9121-A0V72 allows real-time adjustment of the output voltage between two preconfigured values (A and B registers) via I²C write or GPIO toggle. The transition occurs at a programmable slew rate (10 mV per 0.5–8 µs), ensuring smooth rail changes during processor DVFS events without overshoot or instability. DVC is fully synchronized with the buck's PWM operation.
What package options are available for the DA9121-A0V72?
The DA9121-A0V72 is offered exclusively in the 24-ball WLCSP package (2.5 mm × 1.7 mm, 0.4 mm pitch), optimized for ultra-thin mobile applications. While the base DA9121 family also includes a 24WLP variant (2.7 mm × 1.9 mm), the -A0V72 suffix specifically denotes the WLCSP version with identical electrical specifications and pinout mapping.
Can the DA9121-A0V72 operate with a single-cell Li-ion battery input?
Yes, the DA9121-A0V72 supports an input voltage range of 2.5 V to 5.5 V, making it fully compatible with single-cell Li-ion batteries (nominal 3.7 V, discharge range ~3.0–4.2 V). Its 4 MHz switching frequency and integrated FETs ensure high efficiency (>90 % at 1 A–8 A loads) across this range, and its thermal protection thresholds prevent unsafe operation during battery voltage sag or high ambient temperatures.
