Product details
Overview
ISL8024IRTAJZ-T7A from Renesas (formerly Intersil) is a monolithic synchronous buck regulator delivering up to 4A 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 high-efficiency point-of-load (POL) power supply for FPGA, microcontroller, and DSP core rails.
For engineers reviewing the ISL8024IRTAJZ-T7A datasheet, ISL8024IRTAJZ-T7A pinout, ISL8024IRTAJZ-T7A application, or ISL8024IRTAJZ-T7A equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100% duty-cycle capability (<200mV dropout at 4A), hiccup-mode overcurrent protection, soft-stop output discharge, and support for both PWM and PFM operation via SYNC pin control.
Technical Context
The ISL8024IRTAJZ-T7A 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 architecture enables high efficiency-up to 95% at 3.3VOUT/4A-and supports pre-biased output startup.
It integrates comprehensive fault protection: overtemperature shutdown (150°C trip, 25°C hysteresis), overvoltage/undervoltage monitoring via PG pin, negative current limiting (−2.4A typical), and 17-cycle hiccup-mode current limiting. The 1ms power-good delay and internal soft-start (1ms default) ensure controlled power sequencing in embedded systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 4A continuous - supports high-current digital loads like FPGA I/O banks without external current boosting. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2V), USB 5V, and industrial 3.3V/5V rails. |
| Reference Voltage | 0.600V ±0.005V - enables precise output regulation down to 0.8V using external resistor divider; 0.8% total accuracy over temp/load/line. |
| Switching Frequency | Adjustable 500kHz–4MHz (default 1MHz) - allows optimization of size (higher f = smaller L/C) vs. efficiency (lower f reduces switching loss). |
| Efficiency | Up to 95% at 3.3VOUT/4A - achieved via low RDS(on) FETs (45mΩ HS / 19mΩ LS) and synchronous rectification. |
| Duty Cycle | 100% - maintains regulation under ultra-low dropout conditions (e.g., 1.8VOUT from 2.0VIN), extending battery runtime. |
| Thermal Resistance | θJA = 45°C/W, θJC = 6.5°C/W - enabled by exposed pad QFN package; supports >3W dissipation in standard PCB layouts. |
Pinout & Package
ISL8024IRTAJZ-T7A is housed in a Pb-free 16-lead 3mm × 3mm TQFN package with exposed thermal pad (L16.3x3D), 1mm max height, requiring connection of the exposed pad to SGND for optimal thermal and electrical performance.
| 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 ESR filtering. |
| PHASE (Pins 13–15) | Switching node | Connects directly to inductor; carries high di/dt square wave; layout critical for EMI and efficiency. |
| PGND (Pins 11, 12) | Power ground return | Low-impedance path for high-current switch return; must be separated from SGND until joined at single point. |
| SGND (Pin 10) | Signal ground reference | Reference for FB, COMP, SS, EN, SYNC, FS, PG; connects to exposed pad and system analog ground. |
| FB (Pin 8) | Feedback input | Monitors output voltage via resistor divider; sets VOUT = 0.6V × (1 + R2/R3); used by PG and UV/OV protection circuits. |
| COMP (Pin 9) | Error amplifier output | Internal compensation node; connect to SGND when FS = VIN; external RC network required if FS resistor used. |
| EN (Pin 5) | Enable control | Active-high logic input; internal 1MΩ pull-down; asserts soft-stop discharge during shutdown. |
| PG (Pin 3) | Power-good indicator | Open-drain output with 1ms delay after soft-start; pulled low during faults, UVLO, or soft-start; requires external 10k–100kΩ pull-up to VIN. |
| SYNC (Pin 4) | Mode selection/synchronization | Logic high = PWM mode; logic low = PFM/skip mode; external clock input up to 4MHz (positive-edge triggered). |
| FS (Pin 6) | Frequency set | Resistor-to-SGND sets fSW from 500kHz–4MHz; tied to VIN for default 1MHz + internal compensation. |
| SS (Pin 7) | Soft-start timing | Tied to SGND for 1ms internal ramp; capacitor to SGND adjusts ramp time (TSS ≈ CSS × 1.6µA); max 33nF. |
| VDD (Pin 2) | Logic supply | Internally connected to VIN; powers internal bias circuitry and gate drivers. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Power FETs | 45mΩ P-Channel HS + 19mΩ N-Channel LS MOSFETs reduce BOM count and improve efficiency over discrete solutions. |
| 100% Duty-Cycle Operation | Enables ultra-low dropout (e.g., 1.8VOUT from 1.95VIN) - critical for battery end-of-life operation in portable devices. |
| Pre-Biased Output Startup | Supports start-up into an already charged output rail without reverse current flow - essential for hot-swap and multi-rail sequencing. |
| Hiccup-Mode Overcurrent Protection | 17-cycle fault detection followed by auto-restart attempts prevents thermal runaway during sustained short-circuit events. |
| Soft-Stop Output Discharge | Internal 100Ω switch actively discharges output capacitor during shutdown - eliminates residual voltage that could damage downstream logic. |
| Flexible Light-Load Operation | Selectable PWM (low noise) or PFM (high efficiency) modes via SYNC pin - optimizes performance across full load range. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS544B20RHLT | 4A, 4.5–18V input, 3.3mm × 3.3mm QFN, 0.6V ref, but lacks 100% duty cycle and pre-biased startup. | Better suited for higher-input industrial rails; not ideal for Li-ion direct feed or low-VIN POL use cases. | Choose ISL8024IRTAJZ-T7A when input can dip below 3V or pre-biased operation is required. |
| MP2315GJ-Z | 4A, 4.5–28V input, 3mm × 3mm QFN, 0.8V ref, no PFM mode, no soft-stop discharge, lower efficiency at light load. | Targeted at cost-sensitive 12V/24V systems; lacks critical features for portable/battery designs. | ISL8024IRTAJZ-T7A is preferred for battery-powered applications needing PFM, soft-stop, and sub-3V operation. |
Compared with TPS544B20RHLT and MP2315GJ-Z, ISL8024IRTAJZ-T7A uniquely combines 100% duty cycle, pre-biased startup, soft-stop discharge, and dual-mode (PWM/PFM) operation in a 3×3mm package - making it the only option among the three qualified for true low-VIN, high-reliability portable power design.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current of the ISL8024IRTAJZ-T7A?
The ISL8024IRTAJZ-T7A delivers up to 4A of continuous output current across the full operating temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) when properly heatsinked on a 4-layer PCB with adequate copper pour and thermal vias under the exposed pad. Derating applies above +85°C ambient per the device's thermal resistance (θJA = 45°C/W).
Does the ISL8024IRTAJZ-T7A support pre-biased output startup?
Yes, the ISL8024IRTAJZ-T7A supports pre-biased output startup. During soft-start, it operates in SKIP mode and avoids reverse current flow into the output capacitor, allowing safe turn-on when the output rail is already charged - a critical feature for hot-swap and multi-rail power systems.
How is the switching frequency configured on the ISL8024IRTAJZ-T7A?
The ISL8024IRTAJZ-T7A switching frequency is set via the FS pin: connecting FS to VIN configures 1MHz default frequency with internal compensation; connecting FS to SGND through a resistor (e.g., 402kΩ for ~490kHz, 42.2kΩ for ~4.2MHz) enables adjustment from 500kHz to 4MHz per Equation 1 in the datasheet.
What protection features does the ISL8024IRTAJZ-T7A include?
The ISL8024IRTAJZ-T7A integrates overtemperature shutdown (150°C trip), hiccup-mode overcurrent protection (17-cycle detection), overvoltage/undervoltage monitoring via PG, negative current limiting (−2.4A typical), and input undervoltage lockout (2.7V rising threshold). All protections are fully internal and require no external components.
Can the ISL8024IRTAJZ-T7A operate with a 2.7V input and 1.8V output?
Yes, the ISL8024IRTAJZ-T7A supports 2.7V input and 1.8V output. With its 100% duty-cycle capability and low RDS(on) P-FET (45mΩ), it achieves <200mV dropout at 4A - enabling stable 1.8V regulation even as input drops to 2.0V, making it ideal for Li-ion battery discharge profiles.
