Product details
Overview
ISL78322ARZ-T7A from Renesas (formerly Intersil) is a dual-channel synchronous buck regulator delivering 2A on Channel 1 and 1.7A on Channel 2, operating at 2.25MHz fixed frequency with 180° out-of-phase switching to reduce input RMS current and EMI. It supports 2.8V–5.5V input, regulates outputs down to 0.6V, and features forced PWM mode, internal soft-start, and power-good monitoring - used in automotive embedded processor power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the ISL78322ARZ-T7A datasheet, ISL78322ARZ-T7A pinout, ISL78322ARZ-T7A application, or ISL78322ARZ-T7A equivalent, key selection criteria include AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualification (-40°C to +105°C), dual independent output regulation, 100% duty cycle capability for low-dropout operation, negative current detection, and thermal shutdown with 25°C hysteresis.
Technical Context
The ISL78322ARZ-T7A employs current-mode PWM control with internal slope compensation, enabling fast transient response and stable loop behavior across load and line variations. Each channel integrates P- and N-channel MOSFETs with typical ON-resistances of 115mΩ/103mΩ (Ch1) and 125mΩ/112mΩ (Ch2), supporting peak current limits of 3.2A (Ch1) and 2.8A (Ch2).
It implements phase-shifted 180° operation between channels, external synchronization up to 8MHz (with half-frequency per channel), and dedicated enable pins (EN1/EN2) for independent power sequencing. The device includes integrated soft-discharge (100Ω internal switch), 1ms delayed PG signal, and undervoltage lockout with 2.8V rising threshold.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.8V to 5.5V - supports single Li+ cell, three NiMH cells, or regulated 5V rail without external LDO pre-regulation. |
| Output Current (Ch1 / Ch2) | 2A / 1.7A continuous - enables powering core logic (e.g., µC/FPGA I/O rails) and auxiliary domains simultaneously. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.25MHz (fixed) - allows use of compact 1.2µH inductors and low-ESR ceramic capacitors, minimizing PCB area (<1.8cm² total). |
| Feedback Reference Voltage | 0.600V ±10mV - sets precise output regulation point; enables programmable VOUT from 0.6V using external resistor divider. |
| Power-Good Delay | 1ms - provides synchronized, glitch-free system reset assertion after both outputs reach 91% of nominal voltage. |
| Thermal Shutdown Threshold | +150°C with +25°C hysteresis - ensures safe recovery after overtemperature events without manual intervention. |
| Ambient Temperature Range | -40°C to +105°C (AEC-Q100 Grade 2) - qualified for under-hood automotive applications and industrial embedded systems. |
Pinout & Package
ISL78322ARZ-T7A is housed in a 4mm × 3mm, 12-lead DFN package with 1mm max height and exposed thermal pad (connected to PGND1/PGND2). The package supports high-density layout and efficient heat dissipation via multiple vias to ground plane.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| FB1, FB2 | Negative input to transconductance error amplifier | Sets output voltage via external resistor divider; monitors regulation status for PG and UVLO functions. |
| EN1, EN2 | Channel enable control inputs | Active-high logic enables independent startup/shutdown sequencing; drives internal discharge FET when low. |
| PG | Open-drain power-good output | 1ms-delayed active-low signal indicating both outputs are within 91% of target; includes internal 1MΩ pull-up. |
| VIN1, VIN2 | Input supply connections | VIN1 powers Channel 1 power stage; VIN2 powers Channel 2 and logic bias - must be ≥ VIN1 for proper operation. |
| LX1, LX2 | Switching node terminals | Connect to inductor high-side; carry high di/dt currents - require short, low-inductance PCB routing. |
| PGND1, PGND2 | Power ground returns | PGND1 serves Channel 1 power stage; PGND2 serves Channel 2 and system ground - joined externally at exposed pad. |
| SYNC | External synchronization input | Negative-edge triggered; forces PWM mode when grounded or accepts external clock up to 8MHz for EMI reduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent synchronous buck regulation | Enables two distinct power domains (e.g., CPU core + I/O) with separate enable, feedback, and current limiting per channel. |
| 180° out-of-phase switching | Reduces input capacitor RMS current by ~30% and lowers conducted EMI compared to in-phase dual converters. |
| Forced PWM mode | Eliminates frequency modulation at light load - critical for noise-sensitive applications like ADAS camera modules. |
| Internal soft-start and soft-discharge | Prevents inrush current during startup and safely discharges output caps during shutdown via 100Ω internal FET. |
| Negative current detection and protection | Halts switching and enters tri-state mode if inductor current falls below -1.6A - prevents reverse conduction damage. |
| 100% duty cycle operation | Maintains regulation down to dropout voltage = ILOAD × RDS(on)_P, extending battery runtime in portable automotive systems. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS65023BRSBR | Triple-output (2×1.5A + 1×1.8A), 2.25MHz, but lacks 100% duty cycle and negative current protection. | Designed for handheld devices; not AEC-Q100 qualified; narrower temp range (-40°C to +85°C). | Choose for cost-sensitive consumer applications where automotive qualification and ultra-low dropout are not required. |
| MPQ4420AGL-AEC1-Z | Dual 2A/2A, 2.2MHz, AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (-40°C to +125°C), but no 180° phase shift or forced PWM mode. | Optimized for higher ambient temps; uses external compensation; requires larger output capacitance for same stability. | Choose when extended temperature margin is critical and EMI reduction via phase shifting is handled externally. |
Compared with TPS65023BRSBR and MPQ4420AGL-AEC1-Z, the ISL78322ARZ-T7A uniquely combines AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualification, 180° phase shift, forced PWM mode, and negative current protection - making it optimal for noise-constrained, safety-critical automotive subsystems where board area and thermal performance are tightly constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current supported by each channel of the ISL78322ARZ-T7A?
The ISL78322ARZ-T7A delivers up to 2A continuous output current on Channel 1 and 1.7A on Channel 2 under recommended operating conditions (TA ≤ +105°C, proper thermal layout). Peak current limits are 3.2A (Ch1) and 2.8A (Ch2), verified across -40°C to +105°C ambient per FN7908 Rev 3.00.
Does the ISL78322ARZ-T7A support external synchronization, and what is its frequency range?
Yes, the ISL78322ARZ-T7A accepts an external clock on the SYNC pin with negative-edge triggering, supporting synchronization from 5.4MHz to 8MHz. At 8MHz input, each channel operates at 4MHz; the internal oscillator defaults to 2.25MHz when external sync falls below that threshold - all specified in the Electrical Specifications table on page 5 of FN7908.
How does the ISL78322ARZ-T7A handle output short-circuit conditions?
The ISL78322ARZ-T7A uses hiccup-mode short-circuit protection: upon detecting 17 consecutive overcurrent events (via CSA1/CSA2), it shuts down and attempts automatic restart after four soft-start periods. Recovery is confirmed in Figures 34 and 36 of FN7908, showing full recovery within 10ms after fault removal.
Is the ISL78322ARZ-T7A compatible with prebiased output voltages during startup?
Yes, the ISL78322ARZ-T7A supports startup into prebiased outputs by entering pulse-frequency mode initially - preventing negative inductor current flow. This behavior is explicitly enabled in forced PWM mode and documented in the "Start-up with prebiased output" feature list on page 1 of FN7908.
What thermal performance can be expected from the ISL78322ARZ-T7A in a standard 4-layer PCB layout?
In a typical 4-layer board with 2oz copper, 6 thermal vias under the exposed pad, and 1in² copper pour on inner layers, the ISL78322ARZ-T7A achieves θJA ≈ 41°C/W (per datasheet page 5). At 2A/1.7A full load and +85°C ambient, junction temperature remains below 135°C - well within the 150°C shutdown threshold.
