Product details
Overview
ISL8023IRTAJZ-T7 from Renesas Electronics (formerly Intersil) is a monolithic synchronous buck DC/DC regulator delivering up to 3A continuous output current from a 2.7V–5.5V input, featuring integrated 45mΩ P-Channel and 19mΩ N-Channel MOSFETs, 1MHz default switching frequency, and 0.6V reference voltage with ±0.8% accuracy over temperature/load/line. It serves as a compact, high-efficiency point-of-load (POL) power supply for microcontrollers and FPGAs in space-constrained portable instruments.
For engineers reviewing the ISL8023IRTAJZ-T7 datasheet, ISL8023IRTAJZ-T7 pinout, ISL8023IRTAJZ-T7 application, or ISL8023IRTAJZ-T7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its adjustable output (via external resistor divider), 100% duty-cycle operation enabling <200mV dropout at full load, hiccup-mode overcurrent protection, and support for both PWM and PFM modes via SYNC pin control.
Technical Context
The ISL8023IRTAJZ-T7 employs current-mode PWM control with slope compensation (440mV/Ts) and a transconductance error amplifier (80µA/V internal, 150µA/V with external FS resistor) for fast transient response and stable loop dynamics. Its dual-MOSFET power stage enables high efficiency-up to 95% at 3.3VOUT/1.8VIN-and supports pre-biased output startup.
Operation spans 500kHz–4MHz via FS pin resistor programming; default 1MHz setting enables minimal external component count (as few as three passive parts). The device integrates soft-start (1ms internal or adjustable), soft-stop output discharge, power-good monitoring with 1ms delay, and comprehensive fault protection including overtemperature (150°C shutdown), overvoltage, undervoltage, and negative current limiting (−2.4A typical).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 3A continuous - supports μC/FPGA core rails without external current boosting. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2V) and 3.3V/5V system rails. |
| Reference Voltage | 0.600V ±0.8% - enables precise output regulation down to 0.6V with external feedback divider. |
| Switching Frequency | Adjustable 500kHz–4MHz; default 1MHz - balances efficiency, size, and EMI for compact PCB layouts. |
| Efficiency | Up to 95% at 1.8VOUT/3A - minimizes thermal load in sealed portable enclosures. |
| Thermal Resistance | θJA = 45°C/W - requires minimal copper area for thermal management in 3×3 QFN package. |
| Protection Features | Hiccup-mode OCP, −2.4A negative current limit, 150°C thermal shutdown with 25°C hysteresis - ensures robust operation under fault conditions. |
Pinout & Package
ISL8023IRTAJZ-T7 is housed in a 16-lead 3mm × 3mm Pb-free TQFN package with exposed thermal pad (PKG DWG # L16.3x3D), optimized for low profile (<1mm height) and high thermal performance via direct SGND connection through multiple vias.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pins 1, 16) | Input power supply | Accepts 2.7–5.5V; requires two 22µF ceramic capacitors to PGND for stability and ripple suppression. |
| PHASE (Pins 13–15) | Switching node | Connects directly to inductor; carries high di/dt current - demands short, low-inductance routing. |
| PGND (Pins 11, 12) | Power ground return | Separate from SGND; must be tied to VIN capacitor ground plane to minimize noise coupling. |
| SGND (Pin 10) | Signal ground reference | Reference for FB, COMP, SS, EN, FS, SYNC, PG; must connect to exposed pad for proper biasing. |
| FB (Pin 8) | Feedback input | Senses output voltage via resistor divider; internal 0.6V reference enables adjustable VOUT from 0.6V to VIN−losses. |
| COMP (Pin 9) | Error amplifier output | Used only when external compensation is applied; otherwise connected to SGND for internal compensation. |
| EN (Pin 5) | Enable control | Active-high logic input; internal 1MΩ pull-down ensures safe shutdown on floating condition. |
| PG (Pin 3) | Power-good indicator | Open-drain output with 1ms delay after regulation; requires external 10kΩ–100kΩ pull-up to VIN. |
| FS (Pin 6) | Frequency select | Resistor-to-SGND sets fSW from 500kHz–4MHz; tied to VIN for default 1MHz internal compensation. |
| SYNC (Pin 4) | Mode control/synchronization | Logic-high = forced PWM; logic-low = PFM; external clock input enables system-level synchronization. |
| SS (Pin 7) | Soft-start timing | Tied to SGND for fixed 1ms ramp; capacitor to SGND adjusts ramp time (max 33nF). |
| VDD (Pin 2) | Internal logic supply | Internally derived from VIN; no external connection required - simplifies layout. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Power Stage | 45mΩ P-FET + 19mΩ N-FET - eliminates external MOSFETs and gate drivers, reducing BOM count and layout complexity. |
| 100% Duty-Cycle Operation | Enables <200mV dropout at 3A - extends battery runtime in Li-ion systems near end-of-discharge. |
| Pre-Biased Output Startup | Supports start-up into existing output voltage - prevents reverse current flow in multi-rail systems with staggered power sequencing. |
| Soft-Stop Discharge | Internal 100Ω switch discharges output capacitor during shutdown - avoids residual voltage hazards in hot-swap applications. |
| Flexible Compensation | Internal RC network (55pF/100kΩ) suffices for most designs; COMP pin allows fine-tuning for aggressive transient loads. |
| Multi-Mode Control | PWM (low-noise, fixed-freq), PFM (high-efficiency light-load), and external sync - adapts dynamically to system power states. |
Applications
| Microcontroller Core Supply | FPGA I/O Bank Power |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS54332DR | 3A, 3.5–28V input, 570kHz fixed frequency, higher minimum input voltage, no PFM mode | Better suited for industrial 12V/24V intermediate bus; lacks light-load efficiency optimization for battery systems | Select when input exceeds 5.5V or when fixed-frequency EMI control is prioritized over ultra-low IQ. |
| MP2315DJ-LF-Z | 3A, 4.5–28V input, 500kHz–2.5MHz adjustable, no pre-bias startup, lower accuracy (±1.5% ref) | Cost-optimized for non-critical consumer applications; missing soft-stop discharge and negative current protection | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where 0.6V reference accuracy and safe shutdown discharge are not required. |
Compared with TPS54332DR and MP2315DJ-LF-Z, ISL8023IRTAJZ-T7 delivers superior light-load efficiency via PFM mode, guaranteed pre-biased startup, and integrated soft-stop discharge - making it uniquely suitable for portable, battery-powered instrumentation requiring high precision and safety-critical shutdown behavior.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the ISL8023IRTAJZ-T7?
The ISL8023IRTAJZ-T7 delivers up to 3A of continuous output current under recommended operating conditions (TA = −40°C to +85°C, VIN = 3.6V). Peak current limit is specified at 4.8A typical for 3A applications, with hiccup-mode protection engaging after 17 consecutive overcurrent events. Thermal derating applies above 85°C ambient.
Does the ISL8023IRTAJZ-T7 support adjustable output voltage?
Yes, the ISL8023IRTAJZ-T7 supports fully adjustable output voltage using an external resistor divider connected to the FB pin. With its 0.600V ±0.8% internal reference, outputs from 0.6V up to just below VIN (minus conduction losses) can be set - e.g., 1.2V (R2=100kΩ, R3=100kΩ), 1.8V (R2=200kΩ, R3=100kΩ), per Table 1 in FN7812 Rev 3.00.
How does the ISL8023IRTAJZ-T7 handle startup into a pre-biased output?
The ISL8023IRTAJZ-T7 supports pre-biased output startup by operating in SKIP mode during soft-start and disabling the high-side FET until the feedback voltage rises above 0.1V. This prevents reverse current flow and ensures controlled ramp-up even when VOUT is initially held at 1V or higher - confirmed in Figure 23 and "Soft Start-Up" section of FN7812.
What protection features are integrated into the ISL8023IRTAJZ-T7?
The ISL8023IRTAJZ-T7 integrates hiccup-mode overcurrent protection (OCP), −2.4A negative current limit, overvoltage protection (OVP), undervoltage lockout (UVLO at 2.7V), and thermal shutdown at 150°C with 25°C hysteresis. All protections are fully internal - no external components required - and PG pin asserts low during any fault condition.
Can the ISL8023IRTAJZ-T7 be synchronized to an external clock?
Yes, the ISL8023IRTAJZ-T7 supports external synchronization up to 4MHz via the SYNC pin. When driven with a clean CMOS clock signal, the device aligns its switching edges to the rising edge of the external source - enabling EMI reduction in multi-regulator systems and eliminating beat frequencies. Internal pull-down ensures safe default PWM mode if SYNC floats.
