Product details
Overview
EL7531IYZ from Intersil is a synchronous, integrated-FET 1A step-down DC/DC regulator in a 10-lead MSOP package, operating from 2.5V to 5.5V input and delivering adjustable output from 0.8V to VIN. It features automatic PFM/PWM mode switching, 1.4MHz nominal switching frequency (synchronizable up to 12MHz), 120µA no-load quiescent current, and Power-Good (PG) open-drain output - deployed in Li-Ion–powered portable electronics requiring compact, high-efficiency power conversion.
For engineers reviewing the EL7531IYZ datasheet, EL7531IYZ pinout, EL7531IYZ application, or EL7531IYZ equivalent, key selection considerations include its internal compensation, dual-mode operation, thermal shutdown threshold (145°C), PG output behavior, and MSOP10 footprint constraints for one-side PCB assembly.
Technical Context
The EL7531IYZ implements a voltage-mode PWM controller with fixed internal compensation, enabling stable regulation without external loop components. Its dual-mode architecture automatically transitions between discontinuous-conduction PFM (for >70% efficiency at 1mA load) and continuous-conduction PWM (at ~250mA threshold), minimizing light-load losses while maintaining tight line/load regulation (±0.1% to ±0.4%).
Control logic integrates synchronous rectification using internal PMOS (70mΩ RDS(ON)) and NMOS (45mΩ RDS(ON)) switches, soft-start (650µs), overcurrent limiting (1.5A), and thermal shutdown with 15°C hysteresis (145°C trip / 130°C recovery). The SYNC pin supports forced PWM or external synchronization from 1.6MHz to 12MHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - supports single-cell Li-Ion, 3.3V, and 5V rails without external LDO pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | 1A continuous - sufficient for core logic or RF subsystems in portable devices; peak current limit 1.5A. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.4MHz typical (1.25–1.6MHz range); synchronizable to 12MHz - enables small external LC filter (1.8µH + 10µF). |
| Quiescent Current | 120µA in PFM mode - extends battery runtime in standby; <1µA in shutdown. |
| Feedback Voltage | 800mV ±10mV - sets output via resistor divider; enables precise 0.8V–VIN adjustment with <0.3% temp drift. |
| Power-Good Threshold | 95% of target VFB rising / 86% falling - provides reliable system power sequencing and fault detection. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 145°C trip with 130°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload or poor heatsinking in sealed enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
EL7531IYZ is housed in a RoHS-compliant, Pb-free 10-lead MSOP package (M10.118A), 3.0mm × 4.9mm × 1.1mm max height, rated for –40°C to +85°C ambient operation. The fused-lead construction delivers θJA = 115°C/W (high-thermal-conductivity board) or 206°C/W (low-conductivity board).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 SGND | Signal Ground Reference | Return path for control circuitry; must be separated from PGND and joined at single point near IC. |
| 2 PGND | Power Ground Reference | Return path for high-current LX switching node; requires large copper pour and multiple vias for thermal relief. |
| 3 LX | Switch Node | Drives external inductor; carries pulsed 1A current; layout critical to minimize EMI and voltage ringing. |
| 4 VIN | Main Input Supply | Connects to 2.5–5.5V source; requires low-ESR ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to PIN 4 and PIN 2. |
| 5 VDD | Controller Supply | Internal bias rail; decoupled by C2 (10µF); not externally powered - derived from VIN internally. |
| 6 SYNC | Mode Control & Sync Input | Pull high (>2.5V) for forced PWM; ground for auto PFM/PWM; accept 1.6–12MHz external clock for EMI reduction. |
| 7 EN | Enable Input | Active-high logic input; 2.4V turn-on threshold; <1µA shutdown current when pulled low. |
| 8 PG | Power-Good Output | Open-drain NMOS; requires external 100kΩ pull-up to VIN; asserts high only when VFB is within ±5% of target. |
| 9 VO | Output Voltage Sense | Direct connection to regulated output; used with FB to form feedback loop; routed away from noisy traces. |
| 10 FB | Feedback Input | 800mV reference input; connects to resistor divider (R1/R2) between VO and SGND for output programming. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| One-Side PCB Assembly | Entire 1A converter occupies <0.15 in² (0.97 cm²) with all components on top layer - reduces assembly cost and simplifies routing. |
| Internally Compensated Controller | No external compensation network required - eliminates tuning effort and component count while ensuring stability across recommended 1.5–2.2µH inductors and 10–22µF capacitors. |
| PFM/PWM Auto-Transition | Seamlessly shifts from high-efficiency PFM (<120µA IQ) at light loads to fixed-frequency PWM at ~250mA - maintains >70% efficiency down to 1mA and >90% at full load. |
| Robust Protection Suite | Includes cycle-by-cycle overcurrent limiting (1.5A), thermal shutdown (145°C), short-circuit protection, and UVLO (2.2V startup / 2.0V shutdown). |
| Low-Profile MSOP10 Package | 1.1mm max height enables use in ultra-thin handhelds and SFP modules where Z-height is constrained. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Texas Instruments TPS62231DRVR | 1A, 2.05–6.0V input, 2.5MHz fixed frequency, 17µA IQ - higher switching frequency but no PFM mode or PG output. | Lacks Power-Good signaling and auto PFM; better suited for noise-sensitive analog rails where constant frequency is mandatory. | Select TPS62231DRVR when EMI filtering simplicity outweighs need for ultra-low IQ or system-level power sequencing. |
| Analog Devices ADP2301ARDZ-REEL7 | 1.2A, 3.0–20V input, 700kHz fixed frequency, 2.5mA IQ - wider VIN range but higher quiescent current and no sync capability. | Targets industrial 12V/24V inputs; unsuitable for Li-Ion due to 3V minimum VIN and lack of sub-3V operation. | Choose ADP2301ARDZ-REEL7 only for higher-input-voltage systems where 120µA IQ and 12MHz sync are not required. |
Compared with TPS62231DRVR and ADP2301ARDZ-REEL7, the EL7531IYZ uniquely combines Li-Ion-compatible input range, ultra-low 120µA quiescent current, Power-Good signaling, and 12MHz synchronization - making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-powered applications demanding both efficiency and system control.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for EL7531IYZ to start regulation?
The EL7531IYZ begins regulation when VIN rises above 2.2V to 2.4V (startup threshold), with guaranteed operation from 2.5V. Below 2.2V, the device remains in undervoltage lockout; at 2.0V to 2.2V, it shuts down. This ensures clean startup from partially discharged Li-Ion cells while preventing unstable operation near end-of-discharge.
Does EL7531IYZ require external compensation components?
No, the EL7531IYZ uses an internally compensated voltage-mode controller. External compensation is unnecessary - stability is ensured across the recommended 1.5µH to 2.2µH inductor and 10µF to 22µF ceramic capacitor range, simplifying design and reducing BOM count.
How does the Power-Good (PG) output of EL7531IYZ behave during startup and fault conditions?
The EL7531IYZ PG pin is an open-drain output that pulls low until VFB reaches ≥95% of its 800mV target and remains high only if EN is asserted and no overtemperature or overcurrent fault occurs. During startup, PG asserts after soft-start completes (~650µs); it deasserts instantly upon output droop exceeding –14% or thermal shutdown.
Can EL7531IYZ operate with a 12MHz external clock, and what layout precautions apply?
Yes, the EL7531IYZ accepts external SYNC signals up to 12MHz. To maintain signal integrity, route the SYNC trace short and away from LX and PGND; use a 50Ω series resistor near the IC pin; and avoid stubs or vias. Layout errors may cause jitter or mode instability, especially near the 12MHz upper limit.
What is the thermal performance difference between the EL7531IYZ MSOP10 package and standard MSOP packages?
The EL7531IYZ uses a fused-lead MSOP10 (M10.118A) with lower thermal resistance than standard MSOP: θJA = 115°C/W (4-layer board) vs. typical 150–180°C/W. This allows 870mW dissipation at 85°C ambient - enabling full 1A operation without derating in compact layouts with adequate copper area and thermal vias under PGND.
