Product details
Overview
ISL8002IRZ-T from Intersil is a monolithic synchronous buck regulator 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 supports 100% duty cycle operation (200mV dropout at 2A), internal/external compensation, and PFM/PWM light-load mode selection - deployed in FPGA core voltage regulation and LCD panel power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the ISL8002IRZ-T datasheet, ISL8002IRZ-T pinout, ISL8002IRZ-T application, or ISL8002IRZ-T equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 1MHz fixed-frequency operation, 2A output capability with thermal shutdown and overcurrent protection, compact 2mm×2mm TDFN package with exposed pad, and compatibility with low-ESR ceramic output capacitors for high-efficiency point-of-load conversion.
Technical Context
The ISL8002IRZ-T uses peak current-mode control with slope compensation (900mV/Ts) for stable loop dynamics across wide load and input ranges. Its integrated PMOS high-side switch eliminates boot capacitor requirements, simplifying layout and reducing BOM count.
It implements dual-mode operation: PWM ensures constant frequency and low noise under heavy loads, while PFM reduces quiescent current to 35µA at light loads by skipping pulses - enabling >95% peak efficiency and extended battery runtime in portable systems.
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 LDO pre-regulation. |
| IOUT Max | 2A continuous - sufficient for FPGA I/O banks, DDR memory termination, and mid-power microcontroller cores. |
| Switching Frequency | 1MHz (fixed) - enables use of sub-3.3µH inductors and reduces EMI filter size vs lower-frequency alternatives. |
| Feedback Voltage | 0.600V ±5mV - sets precise output voltage via resistor divider; supports down to 0.6V output for modern low-voltage logic. |
| Quiescent Current | 35µA (PFM, no load) - minimizes standby power loss in always-on subsystems like real-time clocks or sensor interfaces. |
| Duty Cycle Range | 0–100% - allows operation with minimal input-to-output differential (e.g., 2.7V→2.5V), critical for battery-end-of-life scenarios. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C with 25°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design without requiring external thermal monitoring. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin 2mm×2mm TDFN with exposed thermal pad (T-PAD), RoHS-compliant matte tin finish, MSL3 per JEDEC J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 1) | Input power supply | Supplies both power stage and internal bias regulator; requires ≥10µF local ceramic decoupling to PGND. |
| EN (Pin 2) | Enable control | Active-high logic input (1.4V threshold); pulls PHASE low via 100Ω when disabled to discharge output. |
| MODE (Pin 3) | Operation mode select | Tied to VIN for PWM, grounded for PFM; internal 1MΩ pull-down prevents floating state. |
| PG (Pin 4) | Power-good indicator | Open-drain output with 5MΩ internal pull-up; asserts low during soft-start or if FB falls outside 85–120% regulation window. |
| COMP (Pin 5) | Error amplifier output | Configures internal compensation (tied to VIN) or external RC network for custom loop response. |
| FB (Pin 6) | Voltage feedback input | Connects to resistor divider; monitors output for regulation, UVLO, and OVP functions. |
| PGND (Pin 7) | Power/analog ground | Common return for power stage and analog circuits; must connect directly to PCB ground plane. |
| PHASE (Pin 8) | Switching node | Drives external inductor; discharged through 100Ω resistor during disable to prevent output voltage hold-up. |
| T-PAD (Pin 9) | Thermal & power ground | Exposed metal pad tied to PGND; requires multiple thermal vias to inner ground layers for θJA = 71°C/W. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated PMOS/NMOS FETs | rDS(ON) = 117mΩ (HS), 86mΩ (LS) at 5V - eliminates external MOSFETs and gate drivers, reducing solution footprint to <0.10in². |
| No boot capacitor required | PMOS high-side architecture - removes need for flying capacitor and associated routing constraints, simplifying layout. |
| 100% duty cycle support | 200mV dropout at 2A - maintains regulation even when VIN drops close to VOUT, extending usable battery range. |
| Selective PFM/PWM mode | Automatic transition at ~675mA (PFM→PWM) and ~121mA (PWM→PFM) - balances efficiency and noise across full load range. |
| Comprehensive protection suite | OCP (3–4A peak), SCP, thermal shutdown, UVLO (2.7V rising), OVP/UVP on PG - enables robust operation without external supervision ICs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISL8002AIRZ-T | 2MHz switching frequency, identical 2A rating and package - higher frequency enables smaller inductors but increases switching losses at full load. | Better suited for ultra-compact designs where board area is more critical than peak efficiency at 2A. | Select ISL8002AIRZ-T when minimizing inductor size (<1.0µH) is prioritized over 1MHz EMI profile or maximum efficiency at high load. |
| TPS62231DRVR | 2A, 3MHz, 2.05V–6.5V input, 0.6V reference, but uses NMOS/NMOS topology requiring boot capacitor and external compensation. | Lacks integrated PMOS high-side and 100% duty cycle - less suitable for low-VIN applications like single-cell Li-ion end-of-discharge. | Choose TPS62231DRVR only if 3MHz operation is mandatory and boot capacitor integration is acceptable in layout. |
Compared with ISL8002AIRZ-T, the ISL8002IRZ-T trades higher-frequency EMI for superior light-load efficiency and simpler layout; versus TPS62231DRVR, it offers boot-capacitor-free operation and guaranteed 100% duty cycle - critical for battery-powered systems with tight VIN–VOUT margins.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current of the ISL8002IRZ-T?
The ISL8002IRZ-T delivers up to 2A of continuous output current across its full operating temperature range (-40°C to +85°C), as confirmed in Table 1 and Absolute Maximum Ratings of the FN7888 datasheet. This rating assumes proper PCB thermal design with the exposed T-PAD connected to a solid ground plane via multiple thermal vias.
Does the ISL8002IRZ-T require an external boot capacitor?
No, the ISL8002IRZ-T does not require an external boot capacitor because it integrates a PMOS high-side MOSFET. This architecture eliminates the need for a charge pump or flying capacitor, simplifying layout and reducing component count compared to NMOS-based synchronous buck regulators.
What protection features are built into the ISL8002IRZ-T?
The ISL8002IRZ-T includes overcurrent protection (3–4A peak limit), short-circuit protection, thermal shutdown (150°C with 25°C hysteresis), input undervoltage lockout (2.7V rising threshold), and output overvoltage/undervoltage detection monitored via the PG pin - all implemented internally without external components.
Can the ISL8002IRZ-T operate with 100% duty cycle, and under what conditions?
Yes, the ISL8002IRZ-T supports 100% duty cycle operation at its 1MHz version (including ISL8002IRZ-T), achieving 200mV dropout at 2A output current. This enables regulation when VIN approaches VOUT - essential for maintaining system operation during battery voltage sag in portable equipment.
How does the MODE pin configure light-load operation on the ISL8002IRZ-T?
The MODE pin selects between PWM (tie to VIN or >2.5V) and PFM (tie to GND or ≤0.4V) modes. In PFM, the ISL8002IRZ-T skips pulses to reduce switching losses, lowering quiescent current to 35µA; in PWM, it maintains constant 1MHz frequency for predictable EMI and faster transient response.
