Product details
Overview
ISL6843IUZ from Renesas Electronics is a single-ended current-mode PWM controller optimized for isolated flyback, boost, and forward power converters. It features 8.4V UVLO start threshold, 100% maximum duty cycle, 1A peak gate drive, 25ns CS-to-OUT propagation delay, and operates across –40°C to +105°C for telecom and industrial DC/DC power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the ISL6843IUZ datasheet, ISL6843IUZ pinout, ISL6843IUZ application, or ISL6843IUZ equivalent, key selection criteria include its 8-pin MSOP package, adjustable 2MHz switching frequency, tight 5.00V ±1.0%/–1.5% reference tolerance over line/load/temperature, and compatibility with peak-current-mode control loop design for fast transient response in isolated regulators.
Technical Context
The ISL6843IUZ implements peak current mode control using an internal 2.5V error amplifier reference and 100mV CS input offset, enabling inherent overcurrent protection and stable operation up to 96% duty cycle. Its oscillator uses RTCT pin with external R/C network to set frequency up to 2MHz while trimming discharge current for accurate deadtime control.
It integrates a high-bandwidth error amplifier (60–90dB open-loop gain), 5V reference with long-term stability of 5mV at +125°C/1000h, and fast 20ns rise/fall times into 1nF load - all within a BiCMOS process that achieves 60µA startup current and 4.1mA typical operating supply current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| UVLO Start Threshold | 8.4V ±0.6V - ensures reliable startup above brownout in 9–16V input systems |
| Max Duty Cycle | 96% - supports high-voltage-ratio flyback designs without external clamp |
| Gate Drive Peak Current | 1.0A - directly drives medium-size MOSFETs without buffer stage |
| CS-to-OUT Delay | 25ns - enables precise cycle-by-cycle current limiting at high frequencies |
| VREF Accuracy | 5.000V ±1.0%/–1.5% over line/load/temp - reduces output voltage drift in precision regulation |
| Switching Frequency Range | Up to 2MHz - allows compact magnetics and faster transient response |
| Startup Current | 60µA - minimizes auxiliary supply losses in high-efficiency offline adapters |
Pinout & Package
ISL6843IUZ is housed in an 8-lead MSOP package (M8.118), 3.0mm × 4.9mm footprint, 0.65mm pitch, with exposed pad not electrically connected. Thermal resistance θJA = 165°C/W (JEDEC standard board).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 COMP | Error amplifier output / PWM comparator input | Connects compensation network between COMP and FB; sets loop stability and bandwidth |
| 2 FB | Inverting input of error amplifier | Receives scaled output voltage feedback; referenced to internal 2.514V bandgap |
| 3 CS | Current sense input | Accepts 0–1.0V signal with 100mV offset; triggers PWM shutdown on overcurrent |
| 4 RTCT | Oscillator timing control | RC network here sets frequency and max duty cycle; discharge current trimmed for accuracy |
| 5 GND | Power and signal reference ground | Must be low-impedance plane; separate high-di/dt return path required for stability |
| 6 OUT | MOSFET gate driver output | 1A sink/source capability; 20ns rise/fall into 1nF; requires external series resistor for damping |
| 7 VDD | Supply input | Operates from 9–16V; bypass with 0.1–3.3µF ceramic capacitor near pins |
| 8 VREF | 5.00V reference output | ±1.0%/–1.5% tolerance; used for feedback divider bias, sensing, or auxiliary rail |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Peak current mode control | Enables inherent cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection and fast load transient response without slope compensation below 50% duty |
| Trimmed RTCT discharge current | Ensures accurate maximum duty cycle and deadtime control across temperature and unit variation |
| High-bandwidth error amplifier | 60–90dB open-loop gain supports wide bandwidth compensation for tight output regulation |
| Tight VREF tolerance | ±1.0%/–1.5% over line/load/temperature maintains <±1% output voltage accuracy in closed-loop systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PWM controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| UCC28C43DR | 7.6V UVLO start, 100% duty cycle, 1A drive, but 500kHz max frequency and no VREF output | Lacks integrated 5V reference; requires external reference for precision feedback | Preferred where cost sensitivity outweighs need for VREF or >500kHz operation |
| TL3845P | 8.5V UVLO start, 50% max duty cycle, 200mA drive, no VREF output, higher 1mA startup current | Not suitable for high-duty-cycle flyback or boost; limited gate drive strength | Only viable for low-power, non-isolated applications with strict legacy pin compatibility needs |
Compared with UCC28C43DR and TL3845P, ISL6843IUZ delivers superior high-frequency capability (up to 2MHz), integrated precision VREF, and lower startup current - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-efficiency isolated converters requiring tight output regulation and fast transient immunity.

FAQ
What is the UVLO start and stop threshold for ISL6843IUZ?
The ISL6843IUZ has a UVLO start threshold of 8.4V (min 7.8V, max 9.0V) and stop threshold of 7.2V (min 6.7V, max 7.7V), providing 0.8V hysteresis. This ensures reliable turn-on after input stabilization and prevents oscillatory restart during brownout conditions in 9–16V input power systems. The thresholds are factory-trimmed and specified across –40°C to +105°C.
Does ISL6843IUZ provide an internal voltage reference, and what is its accuracy?
Yes, ISL6843IUZ provides a 5.000V internal reference (VREF pin) with ±1.0%/–1.5% tolerance over line, load, and temperature (–40°C to +105°C), and long-term stability of 5mV after 1000 hours at +125°C. This reference is used for feedback divider biasing and can supply up to 10mA, eliminating need for external references in most isolated flyback and boost designs.
What is the maximum switching frequency supported by ISL6843IUZ?
The ISL6843IUZ supports an adjustable switching frequency up to 2MHz via external RT and CT components on the RTCT pin. Frequency accuracy is ±3% initial at +25°C, with <5% variation over temperature. The oscillator's sawtooth waveform and trimmed discharge current enable precise duty cycle control even at high frequencies.
Can ISL6843IUZ drive a power MOSFET directly without a gate driver IC?
Yes, ISL6843IUZ integrates a 1A peak gate driver (20ns rise/fall into 1nF) capable of directly driving medium-size MOSFETs (e.g., ≤500pF gate charge) in flyback and boost topologies. An external series resistor is recommended to damp ringing and limit peak current; layout must minimize trace inductance between OUT and MOSFET gate.
What package type and thermal characteristics does ISL6843IUZ use?
ISL6843IUZ uses an 8-lead MSOP package (M8.118), 3.0mm × 4.9mm, 0.65mm pitch, with θJA = 165°C/W on JEDEC-standard board. It is rated for –40°C to +105°C operation. The exposed pad is non-functional; thermal performance relies on copper area under the package and proper GND plane connection per M8.118 land pattern guidelines.
