Product details
Overview
ISL78219ARTZ-T from Renesas Electronics is an automotive-grade non-synchronous boost regulator with integrated 4.0A/120mΩ low-side MOSFET, 640kHz or 1.22MHz selectable switching frequency, 2.3V–6.0V input range, and AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualification (−40°C to +105°C). It delivers up to 24V output in satellite camera power supplies and auxiliary fan drivers.
For engineers reviewing the ISL78219ARTZ-T datasheet, ISL78219ARTZ-T pinout, ISL78219ARTZ-T application, or ISL78219ARTZ-T equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual-frequency PWM control, external compensation flexibility for ceramic capacitor compatibility, <1µA shutdown current, thermal protection, and TDFN-10 package with 0.8mm max height.
Technical Context
The ISL78219ARTZ-T uses current-mode PWM control with internal transconductance error amplifier (70–250 µA/V), fixed-frequency oscillator, and fast current-sense loop-eliminating need for current-loop compensation. Its voltage feedback loop requires external RC network on COMP pin for stability and transient response tuning.
It implements a constant-on-time architecture variant with duty-cycle limits of 85–92% at 640kHz and 85–90% at 1.22MHz, enabling high step-up ratios while maintaining stability across 2.3V–6.0V input and 1.1×VIN–24V output ranges. EN and FREQ pins provide digital enable/disable and frequency selection without external logic.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.3V to 6.0V - supports wide automotive battery range including cold-crank conditions down to 2.3V. |
| Output Voltage Range | 1.1 × VIN to 24V - enables flexible rail generation from low-voltage sources (e.g., 3.3V → 12.3V for camera sensors). |
| Switching Frequency | 640kHz or 1.22MHz - selectable via FREQ pin; higher frequency allows smaller inductors and faster load transient response. |
| Integrated Switch | 4.0A, 120mΩ low-side MOSFET - eliminates external switch, reduces BOM count, and sustains >90% efficiency at 5VIN/12VOUT @ 0.5A. |
| Shutdown Current | <1µA - enables ultra-low-power standby in always-on automotive subsystems like antenna bias supplies. |
| Feedback Reference | 1.24V ±2% - precise reference enables accurate output regulation using standard resistor dividers (e.g., R1=86.6kΩ, R2=10kΩ for 12.3V). |
| Ambient Temp Range | −40°C to +105°C - meets AEC-Q100 Grade 2 requirements for under-hood and cabin-mounted electronics. |
Pinout & Package
ISL78219ARTZ-T is housed in a 10-lead TDFN package (L10.3x3B) with exposed thermal pad, 3.0mm × 2.38mm footprint, and maximum height of 0.8mm - optimized for space-constrained automotive modules.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - COMP | Error amplifier output | Connect external RC network to set loop compensation zero/pole; determines stability and transient response. |
| 2 - FB | Voltage feedback input | Senses divided output voltage; internal 1.24V reference sets regulated VOUT = 1.24V × (1 + R1/R2). |
| 3 - EN | Enable control | Logic-high (>1.5V) enables regulator; logic-low (<0.5V) disables with <1µA quiescent current. |
| 4,5 - GND | Power ground | Common return path for IC core, switch, and compensation network; must connect to low-impedance PCB ground plane. |
| 6,7 - LX | Switch node | Drain of internal MOSFET; connects to inductor and Schottky diode anode; carries high di/dt switching current. |
| 8 - VIN | Analog supply input | Primary power input (2.3–6.0V); requires local 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor for noise suppression. |
| 9 - FREQ | Frequency select | Ground = 640kHz; tied to VIN = 1.22MHz - no external clock required; sets ripple frequency and inductor size. |
| 10 - SS | Soft-start control | Internal 4.5µA current source charges external capacitor; controls output voltage slew rate and peak inductor current ramp-up. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 4.0A low-rDS(ON) MOSFET | Reduces external component count and PCB area; eliminates gate drive design complexity and layout sensitivity. |
| Selectably high-frequency PWM | 640kHz/1.22MHz operation enables use of ≤10µH inductors and <22µF ceramic output capacitors - shrinking total solution size. |
| External compensation network | COMP pin allows full control over loop bandwidth and phase margin - critical for stable operation with low-ESR ceramic caps. |
| Adjustable soft-start | SS pin capacitor sets output voltage rise time and limits inrush current - prevents input voltage droop during startup. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualification | Validated for −40°C to +105°C ambient operation with thermal shutdown at 150°C - suitable for engine bay and infotainment systems. |

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage supported by the ISL78219ARTZ-T?
The ISL78219ARTZ-T supports an output voltage range from 1.1 × VIN to 24V. With minimum input of 2.3V, the lowest regulated output is ~2.53V; with maximum input of 6.0V, the highest is capped at 24V regardless of step-up ratio. This limit ensures safe operation of the internal 26V-rated LX pin and maintains stability across the full AEC-Q100 temperature range.
How does the FREQ pin affect switching frequency and design trade-offs in the ISL78219ARTZ-T?
The FREQ pin selects between 640kHz (pin grounded) and 1.22MHz (pin tied to VIN). At 1.22MHz, inductor size can be reduced by ~50%, but EMI filtering becomes more challenging and efficiency drops slightly at medium loads due to increased switching losses. At 640kHz, thermal performance improves and EMI is easier to manage, though inductor and capacitor footprints increase.
Can the ISL78219ARTZ-T operate with input voltage below 2.3V?
No - the ISL78219ARTZ-T has a guaranteed operational input range of 2.3V to 6.0V. Its UVLO threshold is 2.10V (typical) with 50mV hysteresis, meaning the device will not start or sustain regulation below ~2.05V. Below 2.3V, output regulation, current limit accuracy, and efficiency are not characterized or guaranteed per the datasheet.
What is the purpose of the COMP pin in the ISL78219ARTZ-T, and how is it configured?
The COMP pin is the output of the internal transconductance error amplifier and serves as the connection point for the external compensation network (typically a series RC from COMP to GND). This network sets the dominant pole and zero of the voltage loop, ensuring stability with low-ESR ceramic output capacitors and tailoring transient response for specific load dynamics in the ISL78219ARTZ-T application.
Does the ISL78219ARTZ-T include overtemperature protection, and how does it behave?
Yes - the ISL78219ARTZ-T includes internal thermal protection that triggers at approximately 150°C junction temperature. When activated, the device shuts down the power switch and enters hiccup mode: it remains off until die temperature falls below the hysteresis threshold (~135°C), then attempts automatic restart. This protects against sustained overload or poor heatsinking without requiring external circuitry.
