Product details
Overview
DA9217-20V72 from Renesas Electronics is a high-performance dual-phase synchronous buck DC-DC converter IC designed for CPU/GPU/DDR core rail regulation in space-constrained mobile SoC modules. It delivers up to 6 A output current across 0.3 V–1.9 V with ±1 % static voltage accuracy, 4 MHz switching frequency, and integrated power FETs - eliminating external MOSFETs or Schottky diodes. Used in SIPP modules and smartphones for dynamic voltage scaling under processor load.
For engineers reviewing the DA9217-20V72 datasheet, DA9217-20V72 pinout, DA9217-20V72 application, or DA9217-20V72 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, real-world application constraints (e.g., remote sensing, DVC slew rate, phase shedding at 2.0 A), and confirmed alternative options for PMU-level power delivery in Li-ion battery-powered handheld platforms.
Technical Context
The DA9217-20V72 implements a single-channel, dual-phase synchronous buck topology with fully integrated high-side and low-side PMOS/NMOS power stages (RON_PMOS = 36 mΩ, RON_NMOS = 17 mΩ per phase). It supports programmable DVC transitions at five discrete slew rates (10 mV per 0.5–8 µs) and automatic phase shedding between 1- and 2-phase operation at ~2.0 A load threshold.
Control is delivered via FM+ I2C interface (up to 1 MHz) with register-mapped voltage selection (CH1_A_VOUT/CH1_B_VOUT), thermal warning (TWARN = 115–135 °C) and critical shutdown (TCRIT = 130–150 °C), and configurable GPIOs (SCL/GPIO3, SDA/GPIO4, CONF/GPIO0, GPIO1, GPIO2) supporting address selection and PG signal routing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V nominal) and regulated 3.3 V/5.0 V system rails. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.3 V to 1.9 V in 10 mV steps - supports modern CPU/GPU core voltages including ARM big.LITTLE and DDR4/LPDDR4 retention levels. |
| Max Output Current | 6 A continuous - achieved using dual-phase interleaving to halve per-phase current and reduce input/output ripple. |
| Switching Frequency | 4 MHz nominal - enables use of ultra-small 0.10 µH inductors and reduces solution footprint vs. sub-2 MHz converters. |
| Voltage Accuracy | ±1 % static (≥1 V), ±10 mV static (<1 V) - ensures tight regulation for low-voltage digital cores without external trimming. |
| Thermal Protection | Thermal warning (115–135 °C) and shutdown (130–150 °C) with IRQ reporting - prevents damage during sustained high-load or poor PCB thermal design. |
| I²C Interface | FM+ compatible (up to 1 MHz) - allows fast configuration of DVC, soft-start, fault masks, and GPIO modes in boot-time sequences. |
Pinout & Package
DA9217-20V72 is housed in a 24-ball WLCSP package measuring 2.5 mm × 1.7 mm with 0.4 mm pitch, optimized for ultra-thin mobile PCBs and SIPP module integration.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PVDD1, PVDD2 | Power supply for buck power stage | Must be decoupled with 10 µF capacitors; shared rail with AVDD to minimize noise coupling into analog control loop. |
| LX1, LX2 | Buck switch node (AIO) | Connects to 100 nH inductors; high dv/dt node requiring short, low-inductance PCB traces to minimize EMI and ringing. |
| PGND1, PGND2 | Power ground for buck stage | Separate from AGND; must connect directly to power plane under inductors/capacitors to avoid ground bounce. |
| FB1P, FB1N | Differential feedback sense inputs | Enable remote sensing at point-of-load; FB1P connects to VOUT1, FB1N ties to local GND at load to reject IR drop errors. |
| SCL/GPIO3, SDA/GPIO4 | I²C clock/data or GPIO | Configurable as open-drain I²C pins (with internal pull-ups) or push-pull GPIOs; support multi-device addressing via CONF pin. |
| IC_EN | Chip enable input | Active-high logic control; pulls down output when deasserted, enabling safe sequencing with other PMU rails. |
| CONF/GPIO0 | Configuration or GPIO | Determines I²C slave address (0x60–0x67); also usable as general-purpose input/output with programmable pull-up/down. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-phase synchronous buck | Delivers 6 A with interleaved phases to cut input/output ripple by >50 % vs. single-phase, easing capacitor selection and EMI filtering. |
| Dynamic voltage control (DVC) | Five programmable slew rates (0.5–8 µs per 10 mV) enable controlled voltage transitions during DVFS, preventing logic glitches or timing violations. |
| Integrated power FETs | Eliminates need for external high-side/low-side MOSFETs and gate drivers - reduces BOM count, layout area, and thermal complexity. |
| Remote differential sensing | Compensates for PCB trace resistance between converter and SoC core, maintaining ±1 % regulation accuracy even with 100 mΩ IR drop. |
| Auto phase shedding | Switches from 2-phase to 1-phase operation below ~2.0 A, improving light-load efficiency by reducing switching losses and gate drive current. |
| Comprehensive fault protection | Includes over-current (OC), over-temperature (OT), under-voltage (UV), over-voltage (OV), and power-good monitoring - all with I²C-accessible status and mask registers. |

FAQ
What is the maximum supported I²C clock frequency for DA9217-20V72?
The DA9217-20V72 supports Fast Mode Plus (FM+) I²C operation up to 1 MHz, as specified in Table 11 of the datasheet. This allows rapid configuration of DVC targets, fault masks, and GPIO modes during system boot or runtime DVFS events. The DA9217-20V72 maintains full register accessibility and interrupt reporting at this speed, with rise/fall time requirements (1000 ns/300 ns) met using standard 150 pF bus capacitance layouts.
Does DA9217-20V72 require external MOSFETs or Schottky diodes?
No, DA9217-20V72 integrates both high-side and low-side power FETs (36 mΩ PMOS and 17 mΩ NMOS per phase), eliminating the need for external MOSFETs, gate drivers, or freewheeling diodes. This integration reduces bill-of-materials count, PCB area, and thermal design complexity - a key differentiator versus discrete or controller-based buck solutions. The DA9217-20V72 achieves full 6 A capability using only two 0.10 µH inductors and four 10 µF output capacitors.
How does DA9217-20V72 implement dynamic voltage control (DVC)?
DA9217-20V72 implements DVC through register-programmable voltage transition slew rates (10 mV per 0.5/1/2/4/8 µs) applied to either CH1_A_VOUT or CH1_B_VOUT registers. Transitions are triggered by toggling CH1_VSEL or writing new target values - both produce ramped outputs to prevent logic glitches. The DA9217-20V72 supports DVC under PWM mode only; phase shedding remains active during transitions to maintain regulation stability.
What thermal protection features are built into DA9217-20V72?
DA9217-20V72 includes two-tier thermal protection: a warning flag asserted at junction temperatures of 115–135 °C (TWARN), and immediate buck shutdown at 130–150 °C (TCRIT). Both conditions generate I²C-accessible status bits (TEMP_WARN/TEMP_CRIT) and optional IRQ signals. The DA9217-20V72 also provides mask registers (M_TEMP_WARN/M_TEMP_CRIT) to suppress interrupts while retaining status visibility for host firmware thermal management.
Can DA9217-20V72 operate with only one phase enabled?
Yes, DA9217-20V72 supports automatic phase shedding below ~2.0 A load, switching from dual-phase to single-phase operation to improve light-load efficiency. This behavior is enabled by default in AUTO mode (CH1__MODE = 0b10) and can be overridden via register control to force fixed 1-phase or 2-phase operation. The DA9217-20V72 maintains full voltage regulation, soft-start, and fault protection in both configurations without requiring external reconfiguration.
