Product details
Overview
EL7516IYZ-T13 from Intersil is a constant-frequency PWM step-up DC/DC regulator with integrated 1.5A/200mΩ MOSFET, selectable 620kHz or 1.25MHz switching frequency, 1.294V feedback reference, and operation from 2.5V–5.5V input to 5V–18V output - used in TFT-LCD bias supplies and portable display power rails.
For engineers reviewing the EL7516IYZ-T13 datasheet, EL7516IYZ-T13 pinout, EL7516IYZ-T13 application, or EL7516IYZ-T13 equivalent, key selection considerations include soft-start control via external capacitor, external compensation network for transient response tuning, thermal shutdown at 130°C, and compatibility with low-ESR ceramic output capacitors.
Technical Context
The EL7516IYZ-T13 implements current-mode PWM control with an internal transconductance error amplifier (90–170 µS), fixed 1.294V reference, and dual-frequency selection via FSEL pin (GND = 620kHz, VDD = 1.25MHz). It uses a fused-lead MSOP-8 package optimized for high-frequency operation and minimal board area.
Its architecture supports continuous conduction mode (CCM) boost conversion with duty cycle up to 90%, peak inductor current limiting at 1.3A (min), and internal soft-start driven by a 6µA current source charging an external SS capacitor - enabling controlled output voltage ramp and reduced inrush stress.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switching Frequency | Selectable 620kHz or 1.25MHz - enables smaller inductors (e.g., 2–33µH) and faster load transient response. |
| Feedback Reference Voltage | 1.294V (typ) - sets output voltage via resistor divider: VOUT = 1.294V × (1 + R1/R2). |
| Integrated Power Switch | 1.5A (typ), 200mΩ (rDS-ON at VDD = 2.7V) - supports up to ~330mA output at 3.3V→12V @ 1.25MHz. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion, Li-polymer, or 3.3V/5V system rails. |
| Quiescent Current (Shutdown) | <10µA - minimizes battery drain in standby mode for portable equipment. |
| Thermal Shutdown Threshold | 130°C (typ) - protects device during overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
| Soft-Start Control | External capacitor on SS pin - allows programmable output voltage ramp rate to limit inrush current. |
Pinout & Package
EL7516IYZ-T13 is housed in an 8-lead MSOP package (MDP0043), 3.0mm × 4.9mm footprint, maximum height 1.1mm - RoHS-compliant with matte tin termination.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - COMP | Error amplifier output | Connects external RC compensation network to stabilize voltage loop and optimize transient response. |
| 2 - FB | Feedback input | Senses divided output voltage; internal 1.294V reference sets regulation point. |
| 3 - SHDN | Shutdown control | Active-low logic input; pulls low to disable switching and reduce IQ to <10µA. |
| 4 - GND | Analog & power ground | Common return for feedback, compensation, and power paths - requires low-impedance PCB plane. |
| 5 - LX | Switch node | Drain of internal MOSFET; connects to inductor and Schottky diode anode - high dV/dt node requiring careful layout. |
| 6 - VDD | Analog supply input | Power for internal circuitry; bypass with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| 7 - FSEL | Frequency select | GND = 620kHz, VDD = 1.25MHz - determines inductor size and noise profile. |
| 8 - SS | Soft-start control | Accepts external capacitor to set output voltage ramp time and limit peak inductor current at startup. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-efficiency boost conversion | >90% typical efficiency at 3.3V→12V/1.25MHz - reduces thermal load in space-constrained displays. |
| Adjustable soft-start | Externally programmable via SS pin capacitor - prevents output overshoot and limits inrush into large output caps. |
| Flexible frequency selection | 620kHz or 1.25MHz via FSEL pin - balances EMI, inductor size, and transient performance. |
| External loop compensation | RC network on COMP pin - enables optimization for specific output capacitor ESR and load dynamics. |
| Low shutdown current | <10µA - extends battery life in always-on portable systems with display backlight control. |
Applications
| TFT-LCD Display Power | Digital Camera Backlight Supply |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Efficient local DC/DC converter replacing inefficient linear regulators on line card PCBs. Use Value: 2.5V minimum input supports wide-input-range designs; thermal shutdown protects against overtemperature in enclosed enclosures. | Use Scenario: Supplying 5V–8V bias to PA modules and RF switches in multi-band cellular handsets. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Compact, low-profile boost stage powering RF subsystems from main battery rail. Use Value: MSOP-8 package (1.1mm max height) fits tight vertical clearance constraints; 1.25MHz switching avoids interference with cellular band frequencies. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar boost regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISL97516 | Pin-to-pin compatible; higher 2.0A current limit (vs. 1.5A), 150°C thermal shutdown (vs. 130°C), fixed logic thresholds. | Supports higher output current and extended ambient temperature range; eliminates need for external level-shifting on SHDN. | Preferred for new designs requiring higher reliability margin or simplified SHDN interface. |
| TPS61088RHLR | 4.5A switch, 2.7V–12V input, 4.5V–18V output, 2.5V feedback reference - not pin-compatible; requires different layout and compensation. | Enables higher-power applications (e.g., larger displays); wider VIN/VOUT ranges but larger QFN package. | Consider when >500mA output current or >5.5V input capability is required. |
Compared with EL7516IYZ-T13, ISL97516 offers improved current handling and thermal robustness without layout change, while TPS61088RHLR provides significantly higher power delivery at the cost of redesign effort and larger footprint.

FAQ
What is the recommended input capacitor value for EL7516IYZ-T13?
A minimum 10µF ceramic input capacitor is required; for applications near maximum output current, 22µF–47µF is recommended. A 0.1µF high-frequency bypass capacitor must be placed adjacent to the VDD pin to suppress supply noise and ensure stable operation of the EL7516IYZ-T13 internal circuitry.
How does the FSEL pin affect EL7516IYZ-T13 performance?
The FSEL pin selects switching frequency: grounded for 620kHz, tied to VDD for 1.25MHz. Higher frequency enables smaller inductors and faster transient response but increases switching losses. The EL7516IYZ-T13's 1.25MHz mode is commonly used in TFT-LCD applications to minimize solution size while maintaining >90% efficiency.
Can EL7516IYZ-T13 drive a 12V output from a 2.5V input?
Yes - the EL7516IYZ-T13 supports input voltages down to 2.5V and output voltages up to 18V. At 2.5V→12V with 1.25MHz switching, typical maximum output current is 250mA (per Table 1), making it suitable for low-input, high-ratio boost applications like portable display bias rails.
What is the purpose of the COMP pin on EL7516IYZ-T13?
COMP is the output of the internal transconductance error amplifier. Connecting an RC network from COMP to GND sets the dominant pole and zero for voltage-loop compensation, enabling optimization of stability, load transient response, and output regulation accuracy for the specific output capacitor ESR and load conditions used with the EL7516IYZ-T13.
Is EL7516IYZ-T13 RoHS compliant?
Yes - EL7516IYZ-T13 is a Pb-free plus anneal product with 100% matte tin plate termination, fully compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and compatible with both SnPb and Pb-free soldering processes per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 reflow profiles.
