Product details
Overview
EL7515IYZ-T7 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 operation from 1.8V–13.2V input to 4.5V–17V output - designed for DSL line cards and portable TFT-LCD bias supplies.
For engineers reviewing the EL7515IYZ-T7 datasheet, EL7515IYZ-T7 pinout, EL7515IYZ-T7 application, or EL7515IYZ-T7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 10-lead MSOP package (1.1mm max height), <1µA shutdown current, internal thermal shutdown at +135°C, low-battery detection (LBI/LBO), and soft-start control via external capacitor - all critical for space-constrained, battery-powered systems requiring stable boost conversion.
Technical Context
The EL7515IYZ-T7 operates in fixed-frequency PWM mode using an internal oscillator controlled by the RT pin resistor, supporting continuous or discontinuous conduction modes depending on load and inductor selection. Its peak-current-limited architecture enforces a guaranteed 1A minimum and 1.4A typical current limit.
Start-up uses a two-stage sequence: a dedicated start-up oscillator activates at ~1.7V VDD, followed by PWM takeover at ~3.7V; soft-start is implemented via a 12µA current source charging an external capacitor on the SS pin, directly controlling output voltage ramp rate and inrush current.
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 - programmable via FB resistor divider; enables 3.3V→5V, 5V→12V, or 9V→15V boost rails. |
| Switching Frequency | Adjustable up to 1.2MHz via RT pin - allows compact magnetics and minimizes PCB footprint (<0.25in² typical). |
| Peak Switch Current Limit | 1.4A typical (1A min) - sets maximum deliverable output current based on VIN, VOUT, and inductor value. |
| Shutdown Current | <1µA - preserves battery life in standby; enabled via EN pin logic-low threshold ≤0.5V. |
| Feedback Reference Voltage | 1.33V typical (1.29–1.37V) - determines output accuracy and stability of resistor-divider-based regulation. |
| Package | 10-lead MSOP, 3.0mm × 4.9mm × 1.1mm max - RoHS-compliant Pb-free (e3 matte tin finish), MSL-3 compatible. |
Pinout & Package
EL7515IYZ-T7 is housed in a 10-lead MSOP package (MDP0043) with 0.5mm pitch, 3.0mm × 4.9mm body, and 1.1mm maximum height - optimized for thermally demanding, space-constrained layouts where SGND and PGND separation is critical.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (PGND) | Power ground | Source connection of internal N-MOSFET; must be low-inductance path to input/output capacitors. |
| 2 (SGND) | Signal ground | Reference for FB, EN, LBI, SS, RT; single-point tie to PGND only - prevents noise coupling into feedback loop. |
| 3 (RT) | Oscillator timing | Resistor-to-ground sets switching frequency (600–1200kHz); open-circuit disables oscillator. |
| 4 (EN) | Enable control | Logic-high (>1.6V) enables regulation; logic-low (≤0.5V) forces shutdown with <1µA quiescent draw. |
| 5 (LBI) | Low-battery sense input | Analog input thresholded at 180–250mV; used to detect battery depletion before regulation fails. |
| 6 (LBO) | Low-battery open-drain output | Sinks 1mA when LBI falls below threshold; drives external LED or microcontroller interrupt. |
| 7 (SS) | Soft-start control | Capacitor-to-ground controls output voltage ramp time; prevents inrush current and overshoot. |
| 8 (FB) | Voltage feedback | High-impedance input (0.1µA bias) referenced to 1.33V; connects to resistor divider for output programming. |
| 9 (VDD) | Internal circuit supply | Internally regulated supply (max 12V); requires local 0.1µF bypass close to pin for stability. |
| 10 (LX) | Switch node | Drain of internal N-MOSFET; connects to inductor and catch diode; high dv/dt node requiring short layout. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 1.4A N-MOSFET | Eliminates external switch and gate driver; reduces BOM count and layout complexity for boost topologies. |
| Adjustable soft-start | External capacitor on SS pin enables precise control of output voltage rise time and inrush current limiting. |
| Low-battery detection (LBI/LBO) | Dedicated analog comparator with 220mV typical threshold provides early warning of battery depletion. |
| Internal thermal shutdown | Activates at +135°C junction temperature to prevent damage during overload or poor heatsinking. |
| Pb-free MSOP package | RoHS-compliant e3 matte tin finish; qualified for both 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, fixed 500kHz/2.2MHz options; no LBO/LBI pins. | Lacks integrated low-battery monitoring; better suited for high-current, non-battery-critical loads. | Choose when >600mA output or higher input voltage range is required, and battery monitoring is handled externally. |
| MAX17222ETA+ | Lower 0.5A switch current, 0.7–5.5V input, 1.8–5.25V output; 1.2MHz fixed frequency; smaller 6-pin WLP. | Targeted at ultra-low-power sub-500mA applications; no thermal shutdown or soft-start adjustment. | Prefer for space-constrained, sub-300mA designs where LBO/thermal protection are not mandatory. |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for EL7515IYZ-T7 to start regulation?
The EL7515IYZ-T7 begins start-up when VDD reaches approximately 1.7V, and achieves full PWM regulation above ~3.7V. Its specified minimum operating input voltage is 1.8V, enabling reliable operation from a single Li-ion cell (2.7–4.2V) or two alkaline cells (up to 3.2V fresh). Below 1.8V, the device remains in undervoltage lockout and draws <1µA.
Does EL7515IYZ-T7 support adjustable output voltage, and how is it set?
Yes, EL7515IYZ-T7 supports fully 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. Resistor values should keep total divider current below 10µA to maintain efficiency and noise immunity - a common configuration uses R2 = 10kΩ and R1 = 82kΩ for 12V output.
How does the low-battery detection feature work on EL7515IYZ-T7?
The EL7515IYZ-T7 implements low-battery detection via the LBI and LBO pins: LBI accepts a scaled-down battery voltage (e.g., via resistive divider), and triggers when that voltage falls below 180–250mV (typical 220mV). Upon detection, LBO asserts a low-active open-drain signal capable of sinking 1mA - usable to drive an LED indicator or interrupt a microcontroller, enabling graceful shutdown before regulation collapse.
What thermal protection mechanisms does EL7515IYZ-T7 include?
EL7515IYZ-T7 incorporates internal thermal shutdown that activates at approximately +135°C junction temperature, halting switching and forcing the device into safe, low-current state until temperature decreases. This complements external layout best practices - such as maximizing copper area around SGND and separating PGND/SGND - to ensure reliable operation under sustained 600mA loads in compact enclosures.
Is EL7515IYZ-T7 pin-compatible with other members of the EL7515 family?
Yes, EL7515IYZ-T7 shares identical pinout, electrical characteristics, and package (10-lead MSOP) with all EL7515 variants including EL7515IY, EL7515IY-T7, and EL7515IYZ. The "Z" suffix denotes Pb-free (RoHS-compliant) construction with e3 matte tin termination, while "T7" indicates 7-inch tape-and-reel packaging - both mechanically and electrically interchangeable in existing designs.
