Product details
Overview
ISL80015FRZ-T from Renesas (formerly Intersil) is a monolithic synchronous buck DC/DC converter delivering up to 1.5A continuous output current from a 2.7V–5.5V input, operating at 1MHz switching frequency with 0.6V feedback reference and integrated PMOS/NMOS power stage. It supports 100% duty cycle operation and features internal soft-start, power-good signaling, and thermal shutdown - used in point-of-load regulation for industrial and telecom equipment.
For engineers reviewing the ISL80015FRZ-T datasheet, ISL80015FRZ-T pinout, ISL80015FRZ-T application, or ISL80015FRZ-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its -40°C to +125°C extended temperature rating, 8-pin 2mm×2mm TDFN package with exposed thermal pad, peak efficiency up to 95%, and integrated overcurrent, short-circuit, and negative current protection.
Technical Context
The ISL80015FRZ-T employs peak current-mode PWM control with slope compensation (900mV/Ts) and a transconductance error amplifier (40µA/V) internally compensated by a 27pF/200kΩ network. Its 0.6V reference voltage sets output via external resistor divider, and the 1MHz oscillator enables fast transient response while minimizing inductor size.
It integrates low-rDS(ON) PMOS (117mΩ) and NMOS (86mΩ) switches, eliminating the need for an external boot capacitor. Protection architecture includes cycle-by-cycle overcurrent detection (2.1–2.9A trip), VFB-based short-circuit detection (<0.3V), and thermal shutdown at +150°C with +25°C hysteresis.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| VIN Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion, USB, and industrial 3.3V/5V rails without external LDO pre-regulation. |
| IOUT Max | 1.5A continuous - sufficient for FPGA I/O banks, microcontroller cores, and sensor signal chains. |
| fSW | 1MHz nominal - enables use of compact 2.2µH inductors and reduces EMI fundamental frequency. |
| VFB Reference | 0.600V ±6mV - allows precise output programming down to 0.6V with standard resistor tolerances. |
| Efficiency Peak | Up to 95% at 1.5V/1A - minimizes thermal load in space-constrained industrial modules. |
| Thermal Range | -40°C to +125°C junction - qualified for under-hood automotive ancillary systems and high-ambient industrial controllers. |

Pinout & Package
The ISL80015FRZ-T is housed in an 8-pin 2mm×2mm TDFN package with exposed thermal pad (EPAD), RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 3, and rated for reflow per J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 1) | Input power supply rail | Supplies both power stage and internal bias regulator; requires ≥10µF ceramic decoupling placed adjacent to pin. |
| EN (Pin 2) | Enable control input | Active-high logic (1.4V threshold); disables device and discharges output via 100Ω internal switch when pulled low. |
| SGND (Pin 3) | Signal ground reference | Must be connected directly to EPAD to establish stable analog reference for FB and internal circuits. |
| PG (Pin 4) | Power-good open-drain output | Pulled low during soft-start and fault conditions; features 5MΩ internal pull-up and 0.3V low-level threshold. |
| FB (Pin 5) | Feedback node for output regulation | Connects to resistor divider; monitors output voltage and triggers PG fault if deviates >15% from 0.6V reference. |
| NC (Pin 6) | No-connect terminal | Internally unconnected; must be tied to EPAD for mechanical stability and thermal conduction. |
| PGND (Pin 7) | Power and analog ground return | Primary ground path for high-current switching loop; requires low-impedance connection to PCB ground plane. |
| PHASE (Pin 8) | Switching node | Connects to inductor; carries high di/dt current; internal 100Ω discharge path activates during shutdown. |
| EPAD (Pin 9) | Exposed thermal pad | Electrically tied to PGND; requires ≥4 vias to inner ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| PMOS high-side switch | Eliminates boot capacitor requirement, reducing BOM count and layout complexity. |
| 100% duty cycle capability | Enables dropout operation down to VIN – VOUT ≈ 0V at 1MHz, critical for low-VIN applications like battery backup rails. |
| Integrated soft-start | Fixed 1ms ramp time prevents inrush current and stabilizes output before system enable sequencing. |
| Negative current protection | Detects -1.5A valley inductor current over two cycles to prevent reverse conduction and output collapse during light-load transitions. |
| Internal compensation | 27pF/200kΩ RC network eliminates external compensation components, simplifying design and improving production consistency. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62130ARGTR | 3A max output, 2.5V–6V input, 2.2MHz fSW, 0.6V VFB, same 8-pin VSON package but 3mm×3mm size | Higher current and input range; less suitable for space-constrained designs requiring sub-64mm² footprint | Select when >1.5A load or wider VIN needed; verify PCB layout compatibility due to larger package. |

FAQ
What is the maximum output current and input voltage range supported by the ISL80015FRZ-T?
The ISL80015FRZ-T delivers up to 1.5A continuous output current from a 2.7V to 5.5V input supply. This range supports common battery-powered and industrial bus rails including single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2V), USB 5V, and 3.3V backplanes. The device maintains regulation across this full input span while sustaining 1.5A load at 1MHz switching frequency and -40°C to +125°C junction temperature.
Does the ISL80015FRZ-T require an external boot capacitor?
No, the ISL80015FRZ-T does not require an external boot capacitor because it uses a PMOS high-side switch instead of an NMOS. This architecture eliminates the need for charge-pump or bootstrap circuitry, reducing component count and PCB area. The internal bias regulator derives power directly from VIN, enabling simpler, more reliable designs - a key differentiator versus NMOS-based buck controllers requiring external boot components.
What protection features are integrated into the ISL80015FRZ-T?
The ISL80015FRZ-T integrates overcurrent protection (OCP), short-circuit protection (SCP), negative current protection, thermal shutdown (+150°C trip with +25°C hysteresis), input undervoltage lockout (UVLO), and output overvoltage/undervoltage monitoring via the PG pin. These protections operate autonomously without external circuitry, ensuring safe operation during fault conditions such as output shorts, inductor saturation, or ambient overheating - critical for unattended industrial and medical systems.
How is output voltage programmed on the ISL80015FRZ-T?
Output voltage on the ISL80015FRZ-T is programmed using an external resistor divider connected between VOUT, FB, and GND. With a precise 0.600V ±6mV internal reference, the formula R1 = R2 × (VOUT/0.6 − 1) determines the top resistor value. For example, a 1.8V output requires R1 = 200kΩ when R2 = 100kΩ. A 22pF capacitor across R1 improves loop stability, and minimum 10µA output preload is recommended for best regulation accuracy.
What is the thermal performance of the ISL80015FRZ-T in its 2mm×2mm TDFN package?
The ISL80015FRZ-T achieves θJC = 7°C/W and θJA = 71°C/W in its 8-pin 2mm×2mm TDFN package with exposed thermal pad. When mounted with ≥4 vias to a solid PGND plane, it sustains full 1.5A output at +85°C ambient without derating. At +125°C junction limit, maximum allowable power dissipation is ~1.0W - sufficient for typical 1.5A/1.8V operation (PLOSS ≈ 0.25W), confirming robust thermal headroom in enclosed industrial enclosures.
