Product details
Overview
ISL8009AIRZ-T from Intersil is a monolithic synchronous buck regulator delivering up to 1.5A continuous output current with 0.8V minimum output voltage, 1.6MHz switching frequency, and 17µA quiescent current in PFM mode-designed for portable instrumentation and µP/FPGA point-of-load power.
For engineers reviewing the ISL8009AIRZ-T datasheet, ISL8009AIRZ-T pinout, ISL8009AIRZ-T application, or ISL8009AIRZ-T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, validated DFN-8 pin functions, confirmed thermal shutdown at 140°C, and real-world efficiency curves across 2.7–5.5V input and 0–1.5A load.
Technical Context
The ISL8009AIRZ-T employs current-mode PWM control with internal slope compensation for fast transient response and stable loop behavior across 0–1.5A loads. Its dual MOSFET architecture integrates 120mΩ P-Channel and 110mΩ N-Channel switches, enabling 95% peak efficiency and <400mV dropout at full load.
Operation supports selectable forced PWM or automatic PFM/PWM mode via the SKIP pin, with 2ms POR timer, soft-start, and RSI-controlled reset. Thermal shutdown activates at 140°C with 25°C hysteresis, and the device enters 100% duty-cycle mode below input UVLO (2.5V rising).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 1.5A continuous-supports FPGA core rails and microcontroller I/O domains without external current boosting. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V-compatible with single Li+ cell, three NiMH cells, or regulated 5V supplies. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.6MHz typical-enables use of compact 2.2µH inductors and 20µF ceramic output capacitors. |
| Quiescent Current | 17µA in PFM mode-extends battery runtime in always-on sensor nodes and portable test equipment. |
| Feedback Reference | 0.8V ±2%-sets output voltage via external resistor divider; enables 0.8V–3.6V adjustable regulation. |
| Duty Cycle Max | 90%-ensures <400mV dropout at 1.5A, critical for low-VIN battery brownout operation. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 140°C activation with 25°C hysteresis-prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor PCB heatsinking. |
Pinout & Package
ISL8009AIRZ-T is housed in an 8-lead 2mm × 3mm DFN package (L8.2x3) with exposed thermal pad requiring direct connection to GND for electrical integrity and thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Input supply rail | Accepts 2.7–5.5V; requires 10µF ceramic decoupling capacitor to GND for EMI suppression and transient stability. |
| EN | Enable control input | Active-high logic; enables regulation when pulled ≥1.4V, discharges output via 100Ω internal resistor when low. |
| POR | Power-On-Reset output | Open-drain 2ms delayed Power-Good signal; resets on RSI low pulse and asserts only when VFB is within ±3% of 0.8V. |
| SKIP | Mode selection input | High = PFM/PWM auto-switching (17µA IQ); low = forced PWM (fixed 1.6MHz), essential for noise-sensitive analog subsystems. |
| LX | Switch node | Connects to inductor; carries high di/dt switching current-requires short, low-inductance trace to minimize ringing and EMI. |
| GND | System ground reference | Primary return path for power and signal; must be tied to exposed pad for thermal and electrical performance. |
| VFB | Feedback input | Senses output voltage via resistor divider; 0.1µA bias current limits max divider resistance to 200kΩ for accuracy. |
| RSI | Reset inhibit input | Active-low asynchronous reset for POR timer; pulls POR low immediately and restarts timing when released. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated MOSFETs | P-Channel (120mΩ) + N-Channel (110mΩ) switches eliminate external FETs and gate drivers, reducing BOM count and layout area. |
| Current-mode control | Internal slope compensation ensures stable operation across all duty cycles and load conditions without external compensation components. |
| Digital soft-start | 1.1ms controlled ramp prevents inrush current and output overshoot during power-up, protecting downstream logic and analog circuits. |
| Overcurrent protection | Peak current limit set at 2.1A (typical) with cycle-by-cycle shutdown-prevents MOSFET failure during short-circuit or startup faults. |
| Soft discharge | 100Ω internal resistor between LX and GND actively discharges output capacitor on shutdown, preventing floating or back-powering issues. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62130ARGTR | 3.0V–17V input range; 3A output; 2.5MHz switching; no integrated POR or RSI functionality. | Better suited for wide-input industrial systems; lacks dedicated reset coordination for sequenced power-up. | Select when higher input voltage or output current is required; verify external sequencing circuitry replaces ISL8009AIRZ-T's integrated RSI/POR. |
| MP2143GJ-Z | 2.5V–5.5V input; 1.5A output; 1.5MHz switching; no PFM mode-fixed PWM only; 25µA quiescent current. | Lower light-load efficiency due to absence of PFM; simpler control interface but no skip-mode flexibility. | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where ultra-low IQ is noncritical and fixed-frequency EMI profile is preferred. |
Compared with TPS62130ARGTR and MP2143GJ-Z, the ISL8009AIRZ-T uniquely combines 17µA PFM quiescent current, integrated 2ms POR with RSI reset, and 90% duty cycle for low-dropout operation-making it optimal for battery-powered portable instruments and tightly sequenced µP/FPGA systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the ISL8009AIRZ-T?
The ISL8009AIRZ-T delivers up to 1.5A continuous output current under recommended operating conditions (TA = –40°C to +85°C, VIN = 2.7V–5.5V). This rating is guaranteed across temperature and line/load variations, supported by internal peak current limiting at 2.1A and thermal shutdown at 140°C to prevent damage during overload events.
Does the ISL8009AIRZ-T support adjustable output voltage?
Yes, the ISL8009AIRZ-T supports adjustable output voltage from 0.8V to 3.6V using an external resistor divider connected to the VFB pin. The internal 0.8V reference has ±2% accuracy over temperature and load, and VFB bias current is limited to 0.1µA-requiring R3 ≤200kΩ to maintain output accuracy per the datasheet design guidelines.
How does the SKIP pin affect ISL8009AIRZ-T operation?
The SKIP pin selects between forced PWM mode (pin low) and automatic PFM/PWM mode (pin high). In PFM mode, quiescent current drops to 17µA at light load, maximizing battery life; in forced PWM mode, switching remains fixed at 1.6MHz-reducing output ripple and simplifying EMI filtering for noise-sensitive analog circuits.
What thermal management requirements apply to the ISL8009AIRZ-T?
The ISL8009AIRZ-T requires connection of its exposed thermal pad directly to a solid GND plane with ≥5 thermal vias for effective heat dissipation. With θJA = 55°C/W and θJC = 5.5°C/W, maintaining junction temperature below 125°C demands adequate copper area-especially at 1.5A output under worst-case ambient and input conditions.
Is the ISL8009AIRZ-T RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the ISL8009AIRZ-T is Pb-free and RoHS compliant per Intersil's specification (ordering info notes Pb-free material sets, 100% matte tin plating, and JEDEC J-STD-020 reflow compatibility). The "RZ" suffix in the part number explicitly denotes RoHS-compliant packaging, and the device meets IPC/JEDEC moisture sensitivity level (MSL) requirements for surface-mount assembly.
