Product details
Overview
ISL78200AVEZ-T from Renesas Electronics (formerly Intersil) is a synchronous buck controller with integrated 90mΩ high-side MOSFET and low-side gate driver, supporting buck, non-synchronous buck, and two-stage boost-buck topologies. It delivers 2.5A continuous output at 5V with 8–36V input, 500kHz switching, and +85°C ambient in still air. Designed for automotive power regulation, it operates across 3V–40V input and features AEC-Q100 qualification.
For engineers reviewing the ISL78200AVEZ-T datasheet, ISL78200AVEZ-T pinout, ISL78200AVEZ-T application, or ISL78200AVEZ-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its programmable 200kHz–2.2MHz frequency, ±1% output voltage accuracy, cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection with hiccup mode, PFM/PWM mode selection, and 20-lead HTSSOP package with thermal pad.
Technical Context
The ISL78200AVEZ-T implements peak current mode control with integrated slope compensation and a 5µA soft-start current source. Its dual LDO architecture-main bias LDO (VIN-referenced) and auxiliary LDO (AUXVCC-referenced)-enables VCC switchover to reduce quiescent loss at light load and high VIN.
It supports three operational topologies via pin-strapping: synchronous buck (LGATE drives external low-side FET), non-synchronous buck (LGATE tied to VCC), and boost-buck (EXT_BOOST >200mV enables boost pre-regulator extending input down to 2.5V). Protection includes temperature-compensated current sensing, frequency foldback during overload, and latching/non-latching overvoltage thresholds.

Pinout & Package
ISL78200AVEZ-T is housed in a thermally enhanced 20-lead HTSSOP package (MDP0048) with exposed thermal pad (Pin 21) requiring PCB ground plane connection for effective heat dissipation (θJA = 35°C/W, θJC = 3.5°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PGND (1) | Power ground return | Low-impedance path for high-current switching loop; must be connected to power ground plane, separate from SGND. |
| BOOT (2) | High-side gate driver bias | Supplies floating voltage to drive internal N-channel MOSFET; requires 1µF ceramic capacitor to PHASE. |
| VIN (3,4) | Main input supply | Connects to input rail and drain of integrated 90mΩ high-side MOSFET; supports 3–40V operation. |
| SGND (5) | Analog/Control ground | Reference for FB, COMP, MODE, ILIMIT, and other signal pins; must be star-connected to avoid noise coupling. |
| VCC (6) | Main LDO output | 4.5V ±0.3V regulated supply for IC core and drivers; requires ≥4.7µF ceramic decoupling to PGND. |
| AUXVCC (7) | Auxiliary LDO input / Boost OVP sense | In buck mode: powers auxiliary LDO to reduce dropout loss; in boost mode: monitors boost output via resistor divider (trip at 0.8V). |
| EN (8) | Enable control | Active-high logic input (VENH ≥2V); pull low to disable IC and reduce shutdown current to ≤3µA. |
| FS (9) | Frequency select | Resistor-to-GND sets oscillator frequency from 200kHz–2.2MHz; open/VCC/GND defaults to 500kHz. |
| SS (10) | Soft-start timing | External capacitor charged by 5µA current source sets ramp time; also used for tracking and hiccup recovery. |
| FB (11) | Voltage feedback input | Inverting input of error amplifier; senses output via resistor divider; monitors OV/UV with 3% hysteresis. |
| COMP (12) | Error amplifier output | Compensation node for loop stability; connects RC network between COMP and FB for type-II/III compensation. |
| ILIMIT (13) | Current limit programming | Resistor-to-GND sets OCP threshold from default 3.6A; open/VCC/GND yields 3.0–4.2A range. |
| MODE (14) | PFM/PWM selection | Pull to GND = forced PWM; float/VCC = PFM (default boundary 700mA); resistor-to-GND programs boundary current. |
| PGOOD (15) | Power-good indicator | Open-drain output with 1000-cycle delay on startup; asserts low on OV/UV or EN deactivation. |
| PHASE (16,17) | Switch node | Connects to inductor; tied to source of internal high-side MOSFET; critical for layout low-inductance routing. |
| EXT_BOOST (18) | Boost enable / battery monitor | Detects >200mV to latch into boost mode; in boost, monitors input via resistor divider (0.8V trip). |
| SYNC (19) | Frequency synchronization | Accepts external clock or synchronizes multiple ISL78200s with automatic 180° phase shift between master/slave. |
| LGATE (20) | Low-side gate driver output | Drives external N-MOSFET in synchronous buck; tie to VCC pre-startup to disable in non-synchronous mode. |
| Pad (21) | Thermal pad | Electrically isolated copper pad; must be soldered to large PCB ground plane for thermal performance. |
Key Features

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current of the ISL78200AVEZ-T?
The ISL78200AVEZ-T delivers 2.5A continuous output current under specified conditions: 5V VOUT, 8–36V VIN, 500kHz switching frequency, +85°C ambient temperature, and still air convection. Actual maximum current depends on thermal design, board layout, and ambient conditions-die temperature must not exceed +125°C. The device uses cycle-by-cycle current limiting with programmable threshold (3.0–4.2A) and hiccup mode for fault recovery.
Does the ISL78200AVEZ-T support boost-buck topology, and how is it enabled?
Yes, the ISL78200AVEZ-T supports boost-buck (two-stage) operation. It is enabled by applying >200mV to the EXT_BOOST pin after VCC power-on reset, which latches the controller into boost mode. In this mode, EXT_BOOST monitors boost input via resistor divider (trip at 0.8V), and LGATE drives the boost MOSFET. This extends usable input voltage down to 2.5V or lower, enabling operation during automotive cold-crank events.
How does the AUXVCC switchover function improve efficiency in the ISL78200AVEZ-T?
The ISL78200AVEZ-T reduces quiescent power loss by switching VCC bias from the main VIN-referenced LDO to an auxiliary LDO powered from VOUT once the output reaches the rising threshold (2.97–3.2V). This lowers internal dropout voltage-especially beneficial at high VIN (e.g., 40V)-reducing power dissipation and improving light-load efficiency. The switchover is automatic and reversible, reverting to main LDO during faults or UV events.
What protection features are integrated into the ISL78200AVEZ-T?
The ISL78200AVEZ-T integrates comprehensive protections: cycle-by-cycle overcurrent with frequency foldback and hiccup mode, overvoltage (latching and non-latching modes), overtemperature (trip at +155°C, recover at +140°C), and undervoltage lockout. PGOOD provides open-drain status signaling with 1000-cycle delay. All protections are hardware-based and operate independently of external components, ensuring reliable fault handling in automotive environments.
Is the ISL78200AVEZ-T pin-compatible with any newer Renesas parts?
Yes, the ISL78200AVEZ-T is pin-compatible with the ISL78201AVEZ-T, a direct functional upgrade offering lower RDS(ON) (75mΩ), higher 3.5A output current, extended 4.5–60V input range, and improved thermal resistance. Both share identical 20-lead HTSSOP packaging and pinout, enabling drop-in replacement in existing layouts where higher performance or wider input range is needed.
