Product details
Overview
EL7515IYZ-T13 from Intersil is a high-frequency PWM step-up DC/DC regulator with integrated 1.4A N-channel MOSFET, delivering up to 600mA output current at 92% efficiency, adjustable switching frequency up to 1.2MHz, and input voltage range of 1.8V–13.2V. It serves as a compact, low-profile boost converter for portable power rails in DSL, TFT-LCD bias, and battery-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the EL7515IYZ-T13 datasheet, EL7515IYZ-T13 pinout, EL7515IYZ-T13 application, or EL7515IYZ-T13 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 10-lead MSOP package (1.1mm max height), <1µA shutdown current, 1.29–1.37V feedback reference, internal thermal shutdown, and low-battery detection capability with LBI/LBO pins.
Technical Context
The EL7515IYZ-T13 operates in fixed-frequency PWM mode with direct-summing comparator control, supporting continuous or discontinuous conduction modes depending on load and component values. Its start-up sequence uses a dedicated oscillator until VDD reaches ~3.7V, then transitions to PWM regulation governed by feedback voltage, current limit, and max duty cycle (~90%).
It integrates a 220mΩ rDS(ON) MOSFET, 12µA soft-start current source, and a 220mV low-battery threshold comparator. The RT pin sets oscillation frequency via external resistor (49.9kΩ → 1.2MHz), while the FB pin senses output via resistor divider referenced to 1.33V typical VFB.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 1.8V to 13.2V - supports single Li-ion, 2–4 NiMH/alkaline cells without external LDO pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage Range | 4.5V to 17V - configurable via FB resistor divider; enables 3.3V→5V, 5V→12V, or 9V→15V conversion. |
| Max Output Current | 600mA at VIN=3.3V/VOUT=5V - limited by 1.4A peak switch current and thermal design on 2-layer PCB. |
| Switching Frequency | Up to 1.2MHz - set by RT resistor; allows small magnetics (e.g., 10µH) and <0.25in² total layout area. |
| Feedback Reference | 1.29V to 1.37V - tight 3% tolerance ensures ±1% output regulation across line/load/temperature. |
| Shutdown Current | <1µA - enables ultra-low quiescent power in battery standby mode. |
| Package | 10-lead MSOP, 3.0mm × 4.9mm × 1.1mm - RoHS-compliant Pb-free e3 termination, MDP0043 footprint. |
Pinout & Package
EL7515IYZ-T13 is housed in a 10-lead MSOP package (MDP0043) with 0.5mm pitch, 3.0mm × 4.9mm body, and maximum height of 1.1mm. Thermal performance is optimized via SGND pin conduction and copper pour under PGND/SGND pads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PGND (Pin 1) | Power ground return | Source connection of internal N-MOSFET; must be low-inductance path to minimize switching noise and EMI. |
| SGND (Pin 2) | Signal ground reference | Ground for FB, SS, EN, LBI, LBO, RT; requires single-point star connection to PGND to avoid control loop coupling. |
| RT (Pin 3) | Oscillator timing input | Resistor-to-ground sets switching frequency (e.g., 100kΩ → 670kHz); tolerates 1% resistor for stable fOSC. |
| EN (Pin 4) | Enable logic input | Active-high enable with 1.6V threshold; drives internal bias circuits only when pulled >1.6V. |
| LBI (Pin 5) | Low-battery sense input | Monitors external voltage divider; triggers LBO when input falls below 180–250mV threshold. |
| LBO (Pin 6) | Open-drain low-battery flag | Sinks 1mA when LBI drops below threshold; requires external pull-up for system-level battery alert signaling. |
| SS (Pin 7) | Soft-start capacitor node | Connects to external capacitor (e.g., 4.7nF) to linearly ramp output voltage and limit inrush current. |
| FB (Pin 8) | Voltage feedback input | Senses divided output voltage; regulates VOUT to 1.33V × (1 + R1/R2); trace must be short and shielded from noise. |
| VDD (Pin 9) | Internal bias supply | Internally regulated from VIN; max 12V rating; bypassed with 0.1µF ceramic close to pin. |
| LX (Pin 10) | Switch node | Drain of internal N-MOSFET; connects to inductor and catch diode; high dv/dt node requiring tight layout. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 1.4A N-MOSFET | Eliminates external high-side switch; reduces BOM count and layout complexity for boost topology. |
| Adjustable soft-start | External capacitor on SS pin controls output ramp rate, preventing overshoot and limiting input inrush during power-up. |
| Low-battery detection | Dedicated LBI/LBO circuitry provides system-level battery monitoring without MCU intervention or additional comparators. |
| Thermal shutdown | Internal protection activates at ~135°C junction temperature, latching off until cooldown - prevents permanent damage under overload. |
| Pb-free MSOP package | RoHS-compliant e3 matte tin finish compatible with SnPb and Pb-free reflow profiles per J-STD-020. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-up regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS61088RHLR | Higher 8A switch current, 2.7–12V input, 4.5–20V output; requires external compensation; larger 14-pin QFN. | Supports higher output power (>5W) and wider input range but needs more design effort for stability. | Choose for >1A output or wider VIN range; not drop-in due to different pinout, compensation, and layout requirements. |
| MAX17222ETA+ | Lower 0.5A switch current, 0.4–5.5V input, 2.5–5.5V output; 1.2MHz fixed frequency; 6-pin WLP package. | Optimized for ultra-low-power sub-100mA applications; lacks LBO, thermal shutdown, and wide-VOUT capability. | Choose for space-constrained, low-IOUT (<150mA) designs where LBO and high-VOUT are unnecessary. |
Compared with TPS61088RHLR and MAX17222ETA+, the EL7515IYZ-T13 offers balanced 600mA output, integrated LBO/thermal protection, and proven 10-lead MSOP layout compatibility - making it optimal for mid-power portable boost applications needing reliability and minimal external components.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for EL7515IYZ-T13 to start regulation?
The EL7515IYZ-T13 has a minimum starting voltage of 1.8V, verified across the full -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range. Regulation begins once VDD reaches ~1.7V, and full PWM control engages at ~3.7V. This enables reliable operation from a single Li-ion cell (2.7–4.2V) or two alkaline cells (up to 3.2V fresh).
Does EL7515IYZ-T13 support adjustable output voltage, and how is it configured?
Yes, EL7515IYZ-T13 supports adjustable output voltage from 4.5V to 17V using an external resistor divider connected to the FB pin. The output is set by VOUT = VFB × (1 + R1/R2), where VFB is 1.33V typical. A 10kΩ–100kΩ total divider resistance is recommended to balance accuracy, noise immunity, and quiescent current.
What is the purpose of the LBI and LBO pins on EL7515IYZ-T13?
The LBI (Low Battery Input) pin monitors a scaled-down battery voltage, and the LBO (Low Battery Output) pin is an open-drain flag that asserts low when LBI falls below 180–250mV. This pair enables autonomous battery health monitoring without MCU polling - critical for portable devices needing predictable shutdown behavior before brownout.
Can EL7515IYZ-T13 operate in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM), and what are the implications?
Yes, EL7515IYZ-T13 automatically transitions between continuous and discontinuous conduction modes based on load, input/output voltage, and inductor value. In DCM, the inductor current fully decays to zero each cycle, reducing light-load losses and enabling pulse-skipping behavior - which maintains high efficiency down to ~10mA output current.
Is EL7515IYZ-T13 pin-compatible with other members of the EL7515 family, such as EL7515IY-T13?
Yes, EL7515IYZ-T13 is functionally and physically identical to EL7515IY-T13 in pinout, electrical specifications, and package (10-lead MSOP), differing only in Pb-free (e3) termination versus standard leaded finish. Both share MDP0043 footprint, identical absolute maximum ratings, and identical thermal characteristics - enabling direct substitution in RoHS-compliant designs.
