Product details
Overview
DA9215-XXFS1 from Renesas Electronics is a multi-phase power management IC integrating a 3-phase 15 A buck converter (Buck A) and a single-phase 5 A buck converter (Buck B), optimized for CPU/GPU/DDR rail supply in smartphones and tablets. It operates from 2.8 V to 5.5 V input, delivers programmable output voltage from 0.3 V to 1.57 V (or up to 4.3 V with external resistor divider), and features 3 MHz switching frequency, ±1% static output accuracy, and remote sensing at point of load.
For engineers reviewing the DA9215-XXFS1 datasheet, DA9215-XXFS1 pinout, DA9215-XXFS1 application, or DA9215-XXFS1 equivalent, key selection criteria include phase allocation (Buck A: phases A1/A2/B2; Buck B: phase B1), I²C/SPI-compatible interface with configurable address via GPI, dynamic voltage control (DVC) support, integrated over-temperature/over-current protection, and WL-CSP or VFBGA 66-ball packaging.
Technical Context
The DA9215-XXFS1 implements two independent synchronous buck regulators: Buck A uses three phases (A1, A2, B2) for high-current 15 A delivery with automatic phase shedding, while Buck B uses one phase (B1) for dedicated 5 A output. Both support PWM and PFM modes, with programmable soft-start (50 µs typical startup to 1.0 V) and adjustable current limit per phase (4–7 A range).
It integrates all power switches (PMOS/NMOS with 26–27 mΩ / 18–19 mΩ on-resistance), eliminates need for external FETs or Schottky diodes, and supports remote voltage sensing via FBAP/FBAN (Buck A) and FBBP/FBBN (Buck B). The digital core includes OTP memory, 2-/4-wire interface logic, and GPIO extender functionality with five configurable pins (GPI0, GPI1, GPIO2, SO/GPIO3, nCS/GPI4).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.8 V to 5.5 V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion battery systems and wide-input portable power rails. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.3 V to 1.57 V (programmable); up to 4.3 V with external resistor divider - supports core voltage scaling for modern APs/GPUs. |
| Max Output Current | 15 A (Buck A, 3-phase) + 5 A (Buck B, 1-phase) - enables dual-rail power delivery for heterogeneous SoC architectures. |
| Switching Frequency | 3 MHz nominal - allows use of compact 0.22 µH inductors and reduces output capacitor count. |

| Interface | I²C/SPI-compatible 2-/4-wire bus with configurable I²C address via GPI - enables multi-device coexistence on shared bus. |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +85 °C ambient - qualified for consumer mobile and industrial edge device environments. |
Pinout & Package
DA9215-XXFS1 is available in two package variants: 66-ball WL-CSP (0.4 mm pitch) and 66-ball VFBGA (0.5 mm pitch), both supporting identical pin mapping and thermal performance. Package choice depends on board assembly capability and routing density requirements.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| LX_A1, LX_A2, LX_B2 | Switching node (Buck A phases) | Connects to inductor for Buck A's three-phase operation (A1, A2, B2); requires low-inductance layout for EMI control. |
| LX_B1 | Switching node (Buck B phase) | Connects to inductor for Buck B's single-phase operation; isolated routing prevents coupling with Buck A nodes. |
| FBAP / FBAN | Sense inputs (Buck A) | Remote feedback pair for Buck A - placed at point-of-load to compensate PCB IR drop and ensure accurate regulation. |
| FBBP / FBBN | Sense inputs (Buck B) | Remote feedback pair for Buck B - enables independent closed-loop control of second output rail. |
| VDD_A1/VDD_A2/VDD_B1/VDD_B2 | Phase supply inputs | Each connects directly to VSYS - decoupling required per phase to suppress switching noise and maintain gate drive stability. |
| IC_EN | Enable input | Active-high logic signal controlling global power-up sequence; must be asserted after VSYS stabilization. |
| nIRQ | Interrupt output | Open-drain signal indicating fault conditions (OCP, OTP, UVLO) - pulls low to alert host processor asynchronously. |
| SDA / SCL / nCS / SO | 2-/4-wire interface | Supports I²C (SDA/SCL) or SPI-like (nCS/SO/SCL) communication; nCS polarity and clock phase configurable via registers. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Power Switches | Full PMOS/NMOS synchronous rectification per phase eliminates external FETs and Schottky diodes, reducing BOM count and layout area. |
| Dynamic Voltage Control (DVC) | Enables real-time VOUT adjustment via register writes or dedicated DVS pin - supports DVFS for CPU/GPU power optimization. |
| Automatic Phase Shedding | Reduces active phases under light load (e.g., Buck A drops from 3→1 phase), improving efficiency below 30% load without software intervention. |
| Remote Sensing Architecture | Dual independent sense pairs (FBAP/FBAN + FBBP/FBBN) eliminate PCB trace resistance error, maintaining ±1% accuracy at point-of-load. |
| Configurable I²C Address | GPI0 pin selects between two I²C addresses - allows stacking multiple DA9215-XXFS1 devices on same bus for multi-rail scalability. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar multi-phase buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DA9214-XXFS1 | Two independent dual-phase buck converters (2 × 10 A), no Buck A/B asymmetry; shares same pinout and interface but different phase allocation logic. | Better suited for symmetric dual-rail systems (e.g., dual CPU clusters), not asymmetric CPU+DDR configurations. | Select DA9214-XXFS1 only when equal 10 A rails are required; DA9215-XXFS1 is superior for CPU+DDR split with 15 A + 5 A allocation. |
| RTQ2132B-QT | Single 16 A 3-phase buck (no secondary rail); supports 2.5–5.5 V input, 0.3–1.5375 V output, but lacks integrated DVC pin and remote sense for secondary output. | Targeted at single-rail high-current applications; cannot replace DA9215-XXFS1's dual-output capability without adding a second IC. | Choose RTQ2132B-QT only for cost-sensitive single-rail designs; DA9215-XXFS1 remains necessary where independent dual-rail control and DVC are mandatory. |
Compared with DA9214-XXFS1 and RTQ2132B-QT, DA9215-XXFS1 uniquely combines asymmetric multi-phase architecture (15 A + 5 A), dual remote sensing, and hardware DVC support - making it the only option for space-constrained mobile SoCs requiring tightly coupled yet independently regulated core and memory rails.

FAQ
What is the exact phase configuration of DA9215-XXFS1 per its datasheet?
The DA9215-XXFS1 implements a 3-phase + 1-phase architecture: Buck A uses phases A1, A2, and B2 (totaling 15 A), while Buck B uses phase B1 (5 A). This differs from DA9213 (4-phase Buck A) and DA9214 (2×2-phase), and is confirmed in Table 1 and Figure 3 of R16DS0598EJ0361 Rev.03.61. Pin assignments for LX nodes reflect this allocation - LX_B2 is assigned to Buck A, not Buck B.
Does DA9215-XXFS1 support remote sensing on both output rails?
Yes, DA9215-XXFS1 supports full remote sensing on both rails: FBAP/FBAN for Buck A and FBBP/FBBN for Buck B. Per Section 2.2 and Figure 3, FBBP/FBBN are functional for DA9215-XXFS1 (not NC as in DA9213), enabling independent point-of-load regulation for each output with ±1% accuracy under load.
What package options are available for DA9215-XXFS1 and how do they differ electrically?
DA9215-XXFS1 is offered in 66-ball WL-CSP (0.4 mm pitch) and 66-ball VFBGA (0.5 mm pitch). Electrically identical, both packages share the same pinout, thermal resistance specs, and on-resistance values (e.g., RON_PMOS = 26 mΩ for WL-CSP, 27 mΩ for VFBGA). Choice depends solely on assembly process capability and board-level routing constraints.
Can DA9215-XXFS1 operate with only the Buck B rail enabled?
Yes, DA9215-XXFS1 supports independent enable/disable of Buck A and Buck B via register control. Section 5.3.1 confirms ON/OFF mode control per buck, and Table 6 shows separate current limits (BUCKA_ILIM/BUCKB_ILIM), allowing Buck B (5 A rail) to remain active while Buck A is disabled - useful for low-power standby states in mobile SoCs.
What is the minimum output capacitance requirement per phase for DA9215-XXFS1?
Per Table 6 in the datasheet, DA9215-XXFS1 requires ≥23 µF output capacitance per phase (min), with 47 µF recommended. For Buck A (3 phases), total COUT ≥69 µF (23 µF × 3); for Buck B (1 phase), ≥23 µF. These values include voltage/temperature coefficient allowances and are validated for stability across −40 °C to +125 °C junction temperature.
