Product details
Overview
ISL80015FRZ-T7A 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 in an 8-pin 2mm×2mm TDFN package. It supports 100% duty cycle operation and is used in point-of-load regulation for industrial and telecom equipment.
For engineers reviewing the ISL80015FRZ-T7A datasheet, ISL80015FRZ-T7A pinout, ISL80015FRZ-T7A application, or ISL80015FRZ-T7A equivalent, key selection criteria include its -40°C to +125°C operating junction temperature, 1.5A output capability at 1MHz, integrated soft-start and power-good signaling, and thermal shutdown with 25°C hysteresis - all critical for high-reliability embedded power designs.
Technical Context
The ISL80015FRZ-T7A employs peak current-mode PWM control with internal slope compensation (900mV/Ts) and a transconductance error amplifier (40µA/V) clamped at 1.6V output. Its architecture eliminates the need for an external boot capacitor due to the integrated PMOS high-side switch.
It features dual protection layers: overcurrent detection via CSA output (300mV/A gain) tripping at 2.1–2.9A depending on VIN, and short-circuit response via VFB monitoring (<0.3V threshold), which reduces oscillator frequency to 1/3 nominal during fault events.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion, USB, and industrial 3.3V/5V rails without external regulators. |
| IOUT Max | 1.5A continuous - sufficient for FPGA I/O banks, microcontroller cores, and sensor signal chains. |
| fSW | 1MHz - enables use of compact 2.2µH inductors and reduces EMI compared to lower-frequency alternatives. |
| VFB Reference | 0.600V ±6mV - sets output voltage via resistor divider; allows precise 0.8V–5.5V programmable regulation. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C with 25°C hysteresis - ensures safe recovery after overload or poor heatsinking without latch-up. |
| Efficiency Peak | Up to 95% - minimizes thermal load in space-constrained modules and extends battery runtime. |
| PG Delay | 1ms rising-edge delay after soft-start - provides stable power-good assertion timing for downstream sequencers. |
Pinout & Package
ISL80015FRZ-T7A uses an 8-pin 2mm×2mm TDFN package with exposed thermal pad (EPAD), RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 3, and rated for -40°C to +125°C ambient operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 1) | Input power supply rail | Supplies both power stage and internal LDO; requires ≥10µF ceramic decoupling placed adjacent to pin. |
| EN (Pin 2) | Enable control input | Active-high logic: device enabled when >1.4V; pulled low disables regulator and discharges output via 100Ω internal switch. |
| SGND (Pin 3) | Signal ground reference | Must be connected directly to EPAD; separates analog sensing from power return paths. |
| PG (Pin 4) | Power-good open-drain output | Pulled low during soft-start and fault conditions; includes 5MΩ internal pull-up; asserts high after 1ms delay if VFB is within ±15% of 0.6V. |
| FB (Pin 5) | Feedback node for voltage regulation | Connects to resistor divider; monitors output; also used by UV/OV protection circuits and PG window comparator. |
| 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 switching current; must connect directly to PCB ground plane with multiple vias under EPAD. |
| PHASE (Pin 8) | Switching node | Connects to inductor; carries high di/dt current; discharged via 100Ω resistor during shutdown to prevent floating output. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated PMOS/NMOS power stage | rDS(ON) = 117mΩ (P-FET) / 86mΩ (N-FET) at VIN=5V - eliminates external MOSFETs and boot capacitor, reducing BOM count by ≥4 components. |
| 100% duty cycle operation | Enables dropout operation down to VOUT ≈ VIN − 0.2V at light loads - critical for low-VIN applications like battery backup rails. |
| Negative current protection | Shuts off both FETs if inductor valley current reaches −1.5A for two consecutive cycles - prevents reverse current damage during fast load transients. |
| Internal soft-start | Fixed 1ms ramp time - limits inrush current into output capacitors and avoids undershoot on enable. |
| VIN undervoltage lockout | 2.7V rising threshold with 2.2–2.4V falling hysteresis - prevents erratic startup during brown-out conditions. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Modules | Medical Sensor Signal Conditioning |

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 | 3V–17V input, 3A output, 2.5MHz fixed frequency, 0.6V reference, 12-pin WSON | Wider VIN range and higher current; suited for 12V intermediate bus conversion where ISL80015FRZ-T7A's 5.5V max VIN is insufficient | Select when input exceeds 5.5V or >1.5A load required; verify layout compatibility with larger package and different pinout. |
| RT7297CGJ6F | 2.5V–5.5V input, 1.5A output, 1.5MHz switching, 0.6V reference, 8-pin TSOT-23 | Same current rating and VIN range but smaller TSOT-23 package; lacks PG pin and thermal hysteresis spec | Choose for space-constrained designs where power-good signaling and precise thermal recovery are not required. |

FAQ
What is the maximum ambient temperature at which ISL80015FRZ-T7A can deliver full 1.5A output current?
The ISL80015FRZ-T7A delivers full 1.5A output current up to +85°C ambient temperature when properly heatsinked via its exposed thermal pad. Above this, output current must be derated per Figure 27 in the datasheet to maintain junction temperature ≤125°C. At +125°C ambient, maximum continuous output drops to ~0.8A depending on VIN/VOUT and airflow.
Does ISL80015FRZ-T7A require an external boot capacitor?
No, ISL80015FRZ-T7A does not require an external boot capacitor because it integrates a PMOS high-side switch. This eliminates the need for charge-pump circuitry and associated external components, reducing total solution size and improving reliability compared to NMOS-based buck controllers.
How is the output voltage programmed on ISL80015FRZ-T7A?
The output voltage of ISL80015FRZ-T7A is programmed using an external resistor divider connected between VOUT, FB, and GND. With a fixed 0.600V internal reference, R1 and R2 values are calculated using Equation 5: R1 = R2 × (VOUT/0.6 − 1). For example, 1.8V output requires R1 = 200kΩ and R2 = 100kΩ (1% tolerance).
What protection features are built into ISL80015FRZ-T7A?
ISL80015FRZ-T7A includes overcurrent protection (OCP) triggered at 2.1–2.9A, short-circuit protection (SCP) via VFB monitoring (<0.3V), negative current protection (−1.5A valley limit), thermal shutdown (150°C), VIN undervoltage lockout (2.7V), and VOUT overvoltage/undervoltage detection feeding the PG pin - all implemented in hardware without software intervention.
Can ISL80015FRZ-T7A operate with 100% duty cycle, and under what conditions?
Yes, ISL80015FRZ-T7A supports 100% duty cycle operation at 1MHz switching frequency, enabling dropout regulation where VOUT approaches VIN. This occurs only at light loads and low input voltages (e.g., VIN = 3.0V, VOUT = 2.8V), and is disabled at 2MHz variants - confirming ISL80015FRZ-T7A's specific suitability for ultra-low dropout scenarios.
