Product details
Overview
ISL6410IU from Intersil is a single synchronous buck regulator with integrated N- and P-channel MOSFETs, designed for 3.3V ±10% input voltage and delivering pin-programmable output voltages of 1.2V, 1.5V, or 1.8V at up to 600mA continuous current. It operates at 750kHz typical switching frequency, features internal slope-compensated peak current-mode control, and includes power-good (PG), enable (EN), and synchronization (SYNC) functions for embedded power management in microcontrollers and FPGAs.
For engineers reviewing the ISL6410IU datasheet, ISL6410IU pinout, ISL6410IU application, or ISL6410IU equivalent, this device serves as a compact, fully integrated DC-DC solution requiring minimal external components-ideal for space-constrained designs needing stable low-voltage rails with thermal shutdown, overcurrent protection, and precise UVLO thresholds.
Technical Context
The ISL6410IU implements peak current-mode PWM control with internal slope compensation and a fixed 0.45V reference voltage at the FB pin. Its integrated high-side PMOS (230mΩ rDS(ON)) and low-side NMOS (230mΩ rDS(ON)) enable synchronous rectification, eliminating the need for an external Schottky diode and improving efficiency to 92% at 200mA (VIN=3.3V, VOUT=1.8V).
It supports external clock synchronization from 500kHz to 1MHz via the SYNC pin, provides soft-start (5.5ms typical), and integrates a reset supervisor with 25ms timeout (CT-pin configurable). The PG signal asserts high when output reaches 94.5% of nominal value, and UVLO triggers at 2.62V (rising) and 2.53V (falling) for reliable startup under varying input conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.0V to 3.6V - matches standard 3.3V ±10% supply rails; enables direct use without pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage Options | 1.2V / 1.5V / 1.8V - selected by VSET pin state (low/open/high); eliminates need for external feedback resistors. |
| Continuous Output Current | 600mA - sufficient for powering core logic in CPLDs, FPGAs, and low-power microcontrollers. |
| Switching Frequency | 750kHz typical - allows use of small 8.2µH inductors and ceramic capacitors, reducing board area and cost. |
| Efficiency | 92% at 200mA (VIN=3.3V, VOUT=1.8V) - minimizes thermal dissipation in thermally constrained applications. |
| UVLO Threshold | 2.62V (rising), 2.53V (falling) - ensures clean startup and hold-off during brown-out conditions. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C rising threshold with 20–25°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |
Pinout & Package
ISL6410IU is housed in a 10-lead MSOP package (JEDEC MO-187BA, pkg drawing M10.118), measuring 3.0mm × 3.0mm × 1.0mm, with exposed pad not present (unlike QFN variants). Pin 1 is marked by a dot or notch; the package is Pb-free compatible and rated for -40°C to +85°C ambient operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Main input supply rail | Accepts 3.3V ±10%; requires local 1µF decoupling; powers control circuitry and gate drivers. |
| GND | Analog ground reference | Small-signal ground for error amplifier and oscillator; must be separated from PGND to avoid noise coupling. |
| PGND | Power ground return | High-current return path for MOSFETs and inductor; connects directly to PCB power plane. |
| L | Switch node | Drain junction of internal MOSFETs; connects externally to inductor; carries high dv/dt switching waveform. |
| PVCC | Power MOSFET supply | Provides gate drive voltage for internal FETs; requires dedicated 1µF decoupling near pin. |
| FB | Feedback input | Monitors output voltage; internally referenced to 0.45V; used only in custom-resistor configurations (not required for pin-programmed outputs). |
| VSET | Output voltage select | Logic-level input: tied low → 1.2V, open → 1.5V, tied high → 1.8V; no external resistor needed. |
| EN | Enable control | Active-high logic input; pulls up via 10kΩ to VIN; <10µA shutdown current at 25°C. |
| SYNC | External clock sync | Accepts CMOS-level clock (500–1000kHz); auto-detects rising edge; reverts to internal oscillator if sync lost. |
| PG | Power-good indicator | Open-drain output; pulled up to VIN; asserts high when VOUT ≥94.5% of target; used for system sequencing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fully integrated synchronous buck | Eliminates external diode and reduces BOM count; achieves >92% efficiency without external MOSFETs. |
| Pin-programmable output voltage | Three fixed outputs (1.2V/1.5V/1.8V) set solely by VSET logic state-no feedback resistors or trimming required. |
| Internal slope-compensated current-mode control | Ensures stable operation across line/load variations without external compensation network. |
| Integrated reset supervisor with CT-timed timeout | Generates 25ms reset pulse (configurable via CT capacitor) to ensure proper microprocessor initialization. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62231DRYR | 3MHz fixed-frequency, 600mA, 1.8V/1.5V/1.2V pin-selectable; smaller 2mm × 2mm WSON package; no integrated reset supervisor. | Lacks CT-configurable reset timeout and thermal shutdown hysteresis; optimized for ultra-thin portable devices rather than industrial embedded systems. | Choose TPS62231DRYR when board space is critical and reset supervision is handled externally. |
| RT8059NGQW | 2.5MHz, 600mA, 1.2V/1.5V/1.8V pin-programmable; includes light-load pulse-skipping mode; no SYNC pin or PG output. | Higher switching frequency reduces inductor size but increases switching losses; lacks power-good signaling for system sequencing. | Choose RT8059NGQW when efficiency at light loads matters more than system-level power sequencing capability. |
Compared with TPS62231DRYR and RT8059NGQW, the ISL6410IU offers unique integration of power-good signaling, external clock synchronization, and a configurable reset supervisor-all in a proven MSOP package-making it optimal for industrial and communications equipment where reliability and timing coordination are essential.

FAQ
What input voltage range does the ISL6410IU support?
The ISL6410IU supports an input voltage range of 3.0V to 3.6V, aligned with 3.3V ±10% system rails. Its UVLO circuit activates below 2.62V (rising) and releases above 2.53V (falling), ensuring robust startup behavior. This range is strictly defined for the ISL6410 variant; the ISL6410A version uses 4.5V–5.5V and is not interchangeable with the ISL6410IU.
How is the output voltage configured on the ISL6410IU?
The ISL6410IU output voltage is set by the logic state of the VSET pin: tied low → 1.2V, left open → 1.5V, tied high → 1.8V. No external feedback resistors are required. The FB pin remains unused in pin-programmed mode but can be repurposed for custom output voltages if needed, referencing the internal 0.45V bandgap.
Does the ISL6410IU include overcurrent protection?
Yes, the ISL6410IU includes cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection that monitors inductor current via internal sensing. Peak current limit is 700–1300mA. Exceeding the limit increments a 4-bit counter; reaching 1111 disables PWM output and initiates soft-start recovery after 16 clock cycles-preventing latch-up while enabling automatic recovery.
Can the ISL6410IU be synchronized to an external clock?
Yes, the ISL6410IU accepts an external CMOS clock signal on the SYNC pin across 500kHz–1MHz. It auto-detects the first rising edge and synchronizes seamlessly. If the external clock stops, the device reverts to its internal 750kHz oscillator within four cycles-ensuring uninterrupted operation without glitch or dropout.
What is the purpose of the CT pin on the ISL6410IU?
The CT pin is not present on the ISL6410IU; it exists only on the QFN variants (e.g., ISL6410IR). The ISL6410IU uses a fixed 25ms reset timeout and does not require an external timing capacitor. Confusion may arise from datasheet figures showing both packages-always verify pin count and package type before layout.
