Product details
Overview
ISL8009BIRZ-T from Renesas (formerly Intersil) is a monolithic synchronous buck regulator delivering up to 1.5A continuous output current with 0.8V to 3.3V adjustable output voltage, 1.6MHz fixed switching frequency, and 17µA quiescent current in PFM mode. It integrates low-RDS(on) P- and N-channel MOSFETs (120mΩ/110mΩ typ), supports 2.7V–5.5V input, and targets battery-powered µC/FPGA power rails.
For engineers reviewing the ISL8009BIRZ-T datasheet, ISL8009BIRZ-T pinout, ISL8009BIRZ-T application, or ISL8009BIRZ-T equivalent, key selection criteria include light-load efficiency via PFM/PWM mode select, 2ms POR timer with RSI reset, soft-discharge on shutdown, thermal shutdown at 140°C, and DFN-8 (2mm×3mm) package compatibility with space-constrained portable designs.
Technical Context
The ISL8009BIRZ-T employs current-mode PWM control with internal slope compensation for fast transient response and stable loop behavior across 0–1.5A load range. Its dual-MOSFET architecture enables 90% max duty cycle operation, achieving <400mV dropout at 1.5A output.
Operation mode is selected via the SKIP pin: logic low forces continuous PWM (1.6MHz), while logic high enables automatic PFM mode with dynamic frequency reduction below 17µA quiescent current. The integrated 2ms POR timer provides synchronized power-good signaling, resettable by the RSI input.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 1.5A continuous - supports FPGA core rail and µP I/O supply without external boost stages. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - compatible with single Li⁺, three NiMH, or regulated 5V sources. |
| Quiescent Current | 17µA in PFM mode - extends battery runtime in always-on sensor nodes and portable instruments. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.6MHz (±12.5%) - enables use of compact 2.2µH inductors and 20µF ceramic output capacitors. |
| Feedback Reference | 0.8V ±2% - sets output voltage via resistor divider; supports 0.8V–3.3V adjustment with ±3% total accuracy over temp/load/line. |
| Duty Cycle Limit | 90% maximum - ensures <400mV dropout at 1.5A, critical for low-VIN battery brownout survival. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 140°C activation with 25°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
Pinout & Package
ISL8009BIRZ-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 2.7V–5.5V; requires 10µF ceramic decoupling capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| EN | Enable control input | Active-high logic; enables regulation and initiates soft-start; pulls LX to GND via 100Ω during shutdown. |
| POR | Power-On-Reset open-drain output | 2ms delayed active-low signal indicating valid VOUT; resettable by RSI; requires external pull-up for Power-Good function. |
| SKIP | Mode selection input | Logic high = auto PFM/PWM; logic low = forced PWM; floating not allowed. |
| LX | Switching node | Connects to inductor; carries high di/dt; must be routed with minimal loop area to reduce EMI. |
| GND | System ground reference | Primary return path; exposed pad must be soldered to GND plane for thermal and electrical performance. |
| VFB | Feedback input | Senses output voltage via resistor divider; 0.8V reference enables precise output setting; leakage <0.1µA. |
| RSI | Reset input | Active-low asynchronous reset for POR timer; must be pulled to GND if unused. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated P/N-MOSFETs | 120mΩ/110mΩ typical RDS(on) - eliminates external switches, reduces BOM count, and improves full-load efficiency to 95%. |
| PFM/PWM Mode Select | Configurable via SKIP pin - maintains >85% efficiency down to 10mA load in PFM, avoids audible noise in PWM-only systems. |
| Digital Soft-Start | 1.1ms ramp time - prevents inrush current into output caps; supports pre-biased startup without reverse current. |
| Overcurrent Protection | Peak current limit at 2.1A - protects internal MOSFETs during short-circuit or overload; latches off after repeated faults. |
| Soft-Discharge Function | 100Ω internal discharge path from LX to GND - safely discharges output cap during shutdown, preventing backfeed into powered-down circuitry. |

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 reset. | Better suited for wide-input industrial supplies; lacks dedicated power-good signaling and reset coordination. | Choose when higher input voltage or output current is required, and POR/RSI functionality is not needed. |

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the ISL8009BIRZ-T?
The ISL8009BIRZ-T delivers up to 1.5A continuous output current across its full operating temperature range (-40°C to +85°C). This rating is guaranteed with proper thermal management-specifically, connecting the exposed pad to a sufficient GND copper area-and using recommended external components (2.2µH inductor, 20µF output capacitors). Peak current limit is 2.1A, providing headroom for transient loads without triggering protection.
Does the ISL8009BIRZ-T support adjustable output voltage?
Yes, the ISL8009BIRZ-T supports adjustable output voltage from 0.8V to 3.3V using an external resistor divider connected to the VFB pin. The internal reference is precisely trimmed to 0.8V ±2%, and total output accuracy remains within ±3% over temperature, line, and load conditions. For fixed-output variants, the feedback network is internal; the ISL8009BIRZ-T is the adjustable version requiring external resistors R2 and R3 per Equation 2 in the datasheet.
How does the SKIP pin affect ISL8009BIRZ-T operation?
The SKIP pin selects between two distinct operating modes: logic high (or VIN) enables automatic PFM/PWM mode, reducing switching frequency under light load to achieve 17µA quiescent current; logic low forces continuous PWM mode at 1.6MHz regardless of load, eliminating frequency modulation artifacts and ensuring predictable EMI behavior. Leaving SKIP floating is prohibited-it must be actively driven or tied to a defined voltage level.
What thermal protection features does the ISL8009BIRZ-T include?
The ISL8009BIRZ-T incorporates thermal shutdown that activates at +140°C junction temperature and resumes operation only after cooling to +120°C (25°C hysteresis). This protects against sustained overload, inadequate PCB copper, or ambient overheating. Thermal resistance is θJA = 55°C/W and θJC = 5.5°C/W in the 2mm×3mm DFN package-achievable thermal performance requires soldering the exposed pad directly to a solid GND plane with ≥5 thermal vias.
Can the ISL8009BIRZ-T safely discharge its output capacitor during shutdown?
Yes, the ISL8009BIRZ-T includes an internal 100Ω soft-discharge resistor between the LX pin and GND, activated automatically when the EN pin is driven low. This safely bleeds the output capacitor to near-zero voltage within milliseconds, preventing backfeed into downstream circuitry and enabling safe hot-swap or power-sequence compliance. Discharge can be disabled via the soft-discharge disable feature if required for specific system architectures.
