Product details
Overview
ISL80015IRZ-T from Renesas Electronics (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 in an 8-pin 2mm×2mm TDFN package with exposed thermal pad. It integrates low-rDS(ON) PMOS/NMOS power switches, eliminates boot capacitor requirement, and supports 100% duty cycle operation for ultra-low dropout applications in space-constrained POL designs.
For engineers reviewing the ISL80015IRZ-T datasheet, ISL80015IRZ-T pinout, ISL80015IRZ-T application, or ISL80015IRZ-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.5A/1MHz rating, 0.6V feedback reference, integrated thermal/overcurrent protection, and compatibility with compact ceramic-input/output capacitor layouts for industrial and telecom point-of-load systems.
Technical Context
The ISL80015IRZ-T employs peak current-mode PWM control with internal slope compensation (900mV/Ts) and a transconductance error amplifier (40µA/V) clamped at 1.6V, enabling fast transient response and stable regulation across 0.6V–5.5V output range. Its architecture uses a PMOS high-side switch to avoid boot capacitor dependency and incorporates negative current detection (-1.5A threshold over two cycles) for safe discontinuous conduction mode recovery.
It features dual-stage protection: OCP triggers at 2.1–2.9A (1.5A variant), SCP activates when FB falls below 0.3V, and thermal shutdown engages at +150°C with +25°C hysteresis. Power-good monitoring uses a window comparator referenced to ±15% of VFB (0.589–0.606V), with 1ms delay after soft-start before assertion.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion, USB, and 3.3V/5V rail inputs without external regulators |
| IOUT Max | 1.5A continuous - sufficient for FPGA I/O banks, microcontroller cores, and sensor signal chains |
| fSW | 1MHz nominal - enables use of ≤2.2µH inductors and reduces EMI filtering burden vs lower-frequency converters |
| VFB | 0.600V ±1% - sets output voltage via resistor divider; allows precise 0.6V–5.5V programming with <±0.2%/A load regulation |
| Efficiency | Up to 95% peak - achieved using 117mΩ PMOS and 86mΩ NMOS integrated FETs, minimizing conduction loss at light-to-moderate loads |
| Thermal Protection | +150°C shutdown / +125°C restart - ensures reliability in sealed enclosures or high-ambient industrial environments |
| Soft-start | 1ms fixed ramp - prevents inrush current into downstream capacitors and avoids supply rail collapse during power-up |
Pinout & Package
ISL80015IRZ-T is housed in an RoHS-compliant 8-pin 2mm×2mm TDFN package with exposed thermal pad (EPAD), designed for low thermal resistance (θJA = 71°C/W, θJC = 7°C/W) and high-density PCB layouts. The EPAD must be soldered to PGND with ≥4 vias for optimal thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 1) | Input power supply | Supplies both power stage and internal LDO bias; requires ≥10µF ceramic decoupling placed adjacent to pin |
| EN (Pin 2) | Enable control input | Active-high logic: device enabled when >1.4V; pulled low to disable and discharge output via 100Ω internal switch |
| SGND (Pin 3) | Signal ground reference | Must be connected directly to EPAD to establish clean analog reference for feedback and control circuits |
| PG (Pin 4) | Power-good status output | Open-drain output pulled low during soft-start or if VOUT deviates >±15% from setpoint; includes 5MΩ internal pull-up |
| FB (Pin 5) | Feedback voltage sense | Inverting input to error amplifier; monitors output via resistor divider; leakage <±350nA ensures accuracy across temperature |
| NC (Pin 6) | No-connect terminal | Internally unconnected; must be tied to EPAD for mechanical stability and thermal conduction |
| PGND (Pin 7) | Power/analog ground return | Main ground path for high-current switching loop; requires low-impedance connection to board GND 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 and thermally connected to PGND; mandatory for thermal performance and EMI reduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| PMOS high-side switch | Eliminates boot capacitor requirement, reducing BOM count and layout area while enabling 100% duty cycle operation |
| Integrated protection suite | Combines overcurrent (2.1–2.9A), short-circuit (FB <0.3V), negative current (-1.5A), thermal shutdown (+150°C), and UVLO (2.2–2.7V) for robust system-level fault tolerance |
| Internal compensation network | Fixed 27pF/200kΩ RC network eliminates external compensation components, simplifying design and improving production consistency |
| Low quiescent current | 7–15mA operating current and 1.2–10µA shutdown current enable battery-powered applications with extended standby life |
| High-efficiency FET integration | 117mΩ PMOS and 86mΩ NMOS switches minimize conduction losses, sustaining >90% efficiency at 1A load across 3.3V/1.8V outputs |

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 | 1.5A/3MHz, 2.95–6V VIN, 0.6V VFB, 10-pin 3×3mm QFN | Higher fSW enables smaller inductors but increases switching loss above 1.2A; wider VIN suits 5V systems | Select for higher-frequency designs requiring <1µH inductors; verify thermal margin at 1.5A due to larger package size and different θJA |
| MP2143GJ-Z | 1.5A/2MHz, 2.5–5.5V VIN, 0.6V VFB, 8-pin 2×2mm TDFN | Same footprint and VFB, but lacks 100% duty cycle and has no internal soft-start timer | Choose for cost-sensitive applications where 100% duty cycle is unnecessary and external soft-start control is acceptable |
Compared with TPS62130ARGTR and MP2143GJ-Z, the ISL80015IRZ-T provides unique 100% duty cycle capability and fixed 1ms soft-start-critical for ultra-low dropout and deterministic power sequencing-while matching the compact 2×2mm TDFN footprint of the MP2143GJ-Z but offering superior thermal performance (θJC = 7°C/W).

FAQ
What is the maximum output current supported by the ISL80015IRZ-T?
The ISL80015IRZ-T supports up to 1.5A of continuous output current under recommended operating conditions (VIN = 2.7V–5.5V, TA ≤ +85°C). Derating is required above +85°C ambient, with full 1.5A maintained up to +85°C when the thermal pad is properly connected to PGND using ≥4 vias, per the datasheet's derating curve (Figure 27).
Does the ISL80015IRZ-T require an external boot capacitor?
No, the ISL80015IRZ-T does not require an external boot capacitor because it uses a PMOS high-side MOSFET. This architecture eliminates the need for charge-pump circuitry or external capacitors typically required by NMOS-based synchronous buck converters, reducing component count and PCB area.
What protection features are integrated into the ISL80015IRZ-T?
The ISL80015IRZ-T integrates overcurrent protection (2.1–2.9A trip), short-circuit protection (FB <0.3V), negative current protection (-1.5A over two cycles), thermal shutdown (+150°C), input undervoltage lockout (2.2–2.7V), and output overvoltage/undervoltage monitoring via the PG pin. All protections are fully internal and require no external components.
Can the ISL80015IRZ-T operate at 100% duty cycle?
Yes, the ISL80015IRZ-T supports 100% duty cycle operation when configured for 1MHz switching frequency. This enables ultra-low dropout regulation-such as generating 3.3V output from a 3.6V input-without requiring a linear post-regulator, improving system efficiency in battery-powered applications.
What is the feedback reference voltage (VFB) of the ISL80015IRZ-T and how is output voltage set?
The ISL80015IRZ-T has a precise 0.600V ±1% internal feedback reference voltage (VFB). Output voltage is set using an external resistor divider (R1/R2) connected between VOUT and GND, with R1 tied to FB. The relationship is VO = 0.6 × (1 + R1/R2); for example, 1.8V output requires R1 = 200kΩ and R2 = 100kΩ per Table 2.
