Product details
Overview
ISL80020IRZ-T from Renesas (formerly Intersil) is a monolithic synchronous buck DC/DC converter delivering up to 2A 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 enables compact point-of-load regulation in space-constrained industrial and telecom systems.
For engineers reviewing the ISL80020IRZ-T datasheet, ISL80020IRZ-T pinout, ISL80020IRZ-T application, or ISL80020IRZ-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1MHz fixed-frequency PWM control, 100% duty-cycle capability, thermal/overcurrent protection, and 2mm×2mm TDFN package with exposed pad for thermal management.
Technical Context
The ISL80020IRZ-T 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 by using a PMOS high-side switch.
It integrates low-rDS(ON) MOSFETs (117mΩ PMOS / 86mΩ NMOS at VIN=5V), supports soft-start (1ms ramp), and features power-good monitoring with ±15% VFB window and 5MΩ internal pull-up on PG. Protection includes overcurrent (3.18A typ), thermal shutdown (150°C), and negative current detection (−1.5A over two cycles).
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 rails without external LDO pre-regulation. |
| IOUT Max | 2A continuous - sufficient for FPGA I/O banks, microcontroller cores, and ASIC auxiliary rails. |
| fSW | 1MHz (fixed) - enables use of small 2.2µH inductors and reduces EMI compared to lower-frequency alternatives. |
| VFB Reference | 0.600V ±6mV - allows precise output voltage setting down to 0.6V via resistor divider; supports 1.2V, 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V outputs. |
| Efficiency | Up to 95% peak - achieved via integrated low-rDS(ON) MOSFETs and optimized gate drive, minimizing conduction and switching losses. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C with 25°C hysteresis - ensures safe recovery after overload or poor PCB thermal design without latch-up. |
| Package | 8-pin 2mm×2mm TDFN with exposed pad - occupies <64mm² board area; EPAD must be connected to PGND for electrical integrity and thermal performance. |
Pinout & Package
The ISL80020IRZ-T is housed in an 8-pin 2mm×2mm TDFN package with exposed thermal pad (EPAD, Pin 9), RoHS-compliant and MSL-3 rated. The EPAD must be soldered to a dedicated PGND copper plane with ≥4 thermal vias for optimal junction temperature control.
| 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: device enables when voltage exceeds 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 feedback path from noisy power ground currents. |
| PG (Pin 4) | Power-good open-drain output | Asserts high-Z when output is within ±15% of regulation; pulled low during soft-start, fault, or disable; includes 5MΩ internal pull-up. |
| FB (Pin 5) | Feedback voltage sense node | Connects to resistor divider midpoint; monitors regulated output; used by UV/OV protection and PG 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 | Main ground connection for inductor, input/output capacitors, and EPAD; requires low-impedance plane connection. |
| PHASE (Pin 8) | Switching node | Connects to inductor; carries high di/dt switching current; internal 100Ω discharge path activates during shutdown. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| PMOS high-side switch | Eliminates boot capacitor requirement, reducing BOM count and layout complexity in compact designs. |
| 100% duty cycle operation | Enables dropout operation down to VIN ≈ VOUT, critical for battery-powered systems near end-of-discharge. |
| Integrated soft-start and soft-stop | 1ms controlled ramp-up prevents inrush current; internal 100Ω discharge path safely collapses output during shutdown. |
| Negative current protection | Detects −1.5A valley inductor current over two cycles to prevent reverse conduction and potential damage during light-load transitions. |
| Internal compensation network | Fixed 27pF/200kΩ RC network eliminates external compensation components, simplifying design and improving 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62231DRVR | 2A, 3MHz switching frequency; 2.05V–6.5V VIN; 0.6V VFB; requires external boot capacitor. | Better transient response at higher frequencies but increased EMI risk; less suitable for noise-sensitive analog sections. | Choose for ultra-fast load steps where 3MHz improves regulation; verify layout for EMI compliance and add boot cap. |
| MP2143GJ-Z | 2A, 2MHz; 2.5V–5.5V VIN; 0.6V VFB; integrated boot diode; no 100% duty cycle mode. | Lacks dropout capability below VIN–VOUT margin; higher quiescent current (25µA shutdown vs. 1.2µA for ISL80020IRZ-T). | Select when 2MHz operation is mandatory and input never drops below 2.7V; avoid in battery-end-of-life scenarios. |
Compared with TPS62231DRVR and MP2143GJ-Z, the ISL80020IRZ-T offers unique 100% duty cycle operation and boot-capacitor-free design-critical for space-constrained, battery-depleting, or thermally limited applications-while maintaining competitive efficiency and protection coverage.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current of the ISL80020IRZ-T?
The ISL80020IRZ-T delivers up to 2A continuous output current across its full operating temperature range (−40°C to +125°C), verified per datasheet Table 1 and Electrical Specifications on page 6. Derating applies above +85°C ambient depending on PCB thermal design; Figure 27 shows output current vs. temperature curves for common output voltages.
Does the ISL80020IRZ-T require an external boot capacitor?
No, the ISL80020IRZ-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 layout complexity-confirmed in the "Features" section and Theory of Operation on page 12 of FN6692 Rev 3.00.
What protection features are integrated into the ISL80020IRZ-T?
The ISL80020IRZ-T integrates overcurrent protection (trip threshold 3.18A typ), thermal shutdown (150°C with 25°C hysteresis), negative current protection (−1.5A valley over two cycles), input undervoltage lockout (2.7V rising threshold), output overvoltage/undervoltage monitoring via PG, and short-circuit protection that reduces switching frequency during fault events-all detailed in the "Features" and "Electrical Specifications" sections of FN6692.
Can the ISL80020IRZ-T operate at 100% duty cycle, and under what conditions?
Yes, the ISL80020IRZ-T supports 100% duty cycle operation-but only at its 1MHz switching frequency (not at 2MHz). This enables dropout regulation when VIN approaches VOUT, extending usable battery voltage range. The condition is explicitly stated in the datasheet first paragraph and confirmed in Table 1 and "Features" list on page 1.
What is the recommended output capacitor configuration for the ISL80020IRZ-T?
Renesas recommends ≥22µF X5R or X7R ceramic output capacitance, placed close to the PHASE and PGND pins. Due to DC bias derating, actual in-circuit capacitance may be ~50% of rated value; consult manufacturer's bias-vs-capacitance curves. Equation 6 and 7 on page 14 provide ripple-based sizing, while Equation 8 addresses transient overshoot requirements-both validated on the ISL80020EVAL1Z evaluation board.
