Product details
Overview
ISL8025AIRTAJZ-T7A from Renesas Electronics is a monolithic synchronous buck DC/DC regulator delivering 5A continuous output current from a 2.7V–5.5V input, featuring integrated 36mΩ P-channel and 13mΩ N-channel MOSFETs, 2MHz default switching frequency, 0.6V reference voltage with 0.8% accuracy, and 100% duty-cycle operation enabling <180mV dropout at full load - deployed in FPGA core power supplies and portable Li-ion battery systems.
For engineers reviewing the ISL8025AIRTAJZ-T7A datasheet, ISL8025AIRTAJZ-T7A pinout, ISL8025AIRTAJZ-T7A application, or ISL8025AIRTAJZ-T7A equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2MHz fixed-frequency PWM mode, internal/external compensation flexibility, soft-start/soft-stop control, hiccup-mode overcurrent protection, and thermal shutdown with 150°C trip point.
Technical Context
The ISL8025AIRTAJZ-T7A employs current-mode control architecture for fast transient response and stable loop behavior across 500kHz–4MHz programmable switching frequencies. Its dual-MOSFET power stage integrates low-RDS(on) switches optimized for high efficiency up to 95% at 5A, with 100% duty-cycle capability enabling ultra-low dropout operation.
It supports both forced continuous conduction mode (CCM) and discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) via SYNC pin configuration, enabling noise-sensitive or efficiency-critical system trade-offs. Protection features include overvoltage, overtemperature (150°C), negative overcurrent (−3A), and hiccup-mode short-circuit limiting.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2V), USB PD, and 3.3V/5V rail inputs without pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | 5A continuous - sufficient for powering mid-range FPGAs, microcontrollers, and DSP cores with margin. |
| Default Switching Frequency | 2MHz - enables compact external components (e.g., ≤1µH inductors, 22µF ceramic caps) and reduces EMI fundamental frequency. |
| Reference Voltage Accuracy | ±0.8% over temperature/load/line - ensures tight output regulation (e.g., ±14.4mV on 1.8V output) without post-regulation trimming. |
| Power-Good Delay | 1ms - provides deterministic system reset timing after output reaches regulation, compatible with processor POR requirements. |
| Thermal Shutdown Threshold | 150°C with 25°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
| Quiescent Current (PWM mode) | 16–23mA at 2MHz - balances light-load efficiency against dynamic response needs in active systems. |
Pinout & Package
ISL8025AIRTAJZ-T7A is housed in a RoHS-compliant 16-lead 3mm × 3mm TQFN package with exposed thermal pad, offering low thermal resistance (θJA = 47°C/W, θJC = 6.5°C/W) and 1mm maximum height for space-constrained POL applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pins 1, 16) | Input power supply | Accepts 2.7–5.5V; requires ≥2×22µF local ceramic decoupling to PGND for stability and ripple suppression. |
| PHASE (Pins 13–15) | Switching node | Connects directly to inductor; carries high di/dt; internal 100Ω discharge path when disabled to prevent floating node. |
| PGND (Pins 11, 12) | Power ground return | Separate low-impedance path for high-current switch return; must be connected to VIN capacitor ground and exposed pad. |
| SGND (Pin 10) | Signal ground reference | Reference for FB, COMP, SS, EN, FS; isolated from PGND to minimize noise coupling into feedback loop. |
| FB (Pin 8) | Feedback input | Monitors output via resistor divider; senses 0.6V reference to regulate VOUT = 0.6V × (1 + R2/R3); used by PG and UVLO circuits. |
| COMP (Pin 9) | Error amplifier output | Internal compensation node; connect to VDD for standard config; external RC network optional for custom loop shaping. |
| EN (Pin 5) | Enable control | Active-high logic input; pulls output capacitor to ground via internal soft-stop switch when low, preventing reverse current. |
| FS (Pin 6) | Frequency select | Resistor-to-ground sets 500kHz–4MHz; tied to VIN for default 2MHz; enables synchronization to external clock up to 4MHz. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Power Stage | 36mΩ P-FET + 13mΩ N-FET enables >95% peak efficiency at 5A and eliminates external MOSFET layout complexity. |
| 100% Duty-Cycle Operation | Supports <180mV dropout at 5A, allowing regulation down to VIN − 0.18V - critical for Li-ion end-of-discharge operation. |
| Programmable Soft-Start | 1ms internal ramp (SS = SGND) or adjustable via capacitor (≤33nF); prevents inrush current and stabilizes startup sequencing. |
| Power-Good Output | Open-drain PG with 1ms delay and ±30mV hysteresis confirms VOUT within ±1.5% of target before releasing system reset. |
| Hiccup-Mode OCP | Auto-restart current limiting during short circuit protects MOSFETs and PCB traces without thermal runaway or latch-up. |
Applications
| DC/DC POL Modules | μC/µP, FPGA and DSP 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISL8025IRTAJZ-T7A | 1MHz default frequency, identical pinout and package; higher minimum on-time (140ns vs. same), lower max FSW (4MHz vs. same). | Preferred where lower switching frequency reduces EMI sensitivity or allows larger, lower-cost inductors. | Select ISL8025IRTAJZ-T7A if system layout lacks filtering for 2MHz harmonics or thermal budget permits larger magnetics. |
| TPS54560BQPWPRQ1 | Adjustable 100kHz–2.5MHz frequency, 60V max input, external MOSFETs, no integrated high-side FET; wider VIN but lower integration. | Suitable for automotive 12V/24V input systems requiring AEC-Q100 qualification and higher input tolerance. | Choose TPS54560BQPWPRQ1 only when input exceeds 5.5V or AEC-Q100 compliance is mandatory; not drop-in compatible. |
Compared with ISL8025IRTAJZ-T7A, the ISL8025AIRTAJZ-T7A delivers faster transient response and smaller passive components due to its 2MHz default frequency, while the TPS54560BQPWPRQ1 trades integration for input voltage range and automotive qualification - neither offers pin-to-pin replacement without schematic or layout revision.

FAQ
What is the default switching frequency of the ISL8025AIRTAJZ-T7A?
The ISL8025AIRTAJZ-T7A has a factory-default switching frequency of 2MHz when the FS pin is connected to VIN. This setting enables compact external component selection - such as 0.33–0.68µH inductors and 22µF ceramic capacitors - while maintaining high efficiency (>90% at 3A) and low output ripple. Frequency can be adjusted between 500kHz and 4MHz using an external resistor on the FS pin.
Does the ISL8025AIRTAJZ-T7A support 100% duty-cycle operation?
Yes, the ISL8025AIRTAJZ-T7A supports true 100% duty-cycle operation, enabling output regulation even when input voltage drops close to the desired output level. At 5A load, this results in less than 180mV dropout voltage - critical for maintaining stable core voltage during Li-ion battery discharge from 4.2V down to 3.0V while powering a 1.8V rail.
How does the soft-start function work on the ISL8025AIRTAJZ-T7A?
The ISL8025AIRTAJZ-T7A implements a programmable soft-start via the SS pin: tying SS to SGND yields a fixed 1ms ramp time, while connecting a capacitor (≤33nF) between SS and SGND linearly extends ramp duration. This controls inductor current slew rate during startup, preventing input voltage droop and overshoot on downstream rails - essential for reliable power sequencing in multi-rail systems.
What protection features are integrated into the ISL8025AIRTAJZ-T7A?
The ISL8025AIRTAJZ-T7A integrates hiccup-mode overcurrent protection, thermal shutdown (150°C trip with 25°C hysteresis), output overvoltage protection (OVP), input undervoltage lockout (UVLO), and negative overcurrent detection (−3A limit). These functions operate autonomously without external components, safeguarding both the IC and connected loads during fault conditions like short circuits or thermal overload.
Can the ISL8025AIRTAJZ-T7A be synchronized to an external clock?
Yes, the ISL8025AIRTAJZ-T7A supports external synchronization via the SYNC pin, accepting positive-edge-triggered clock signals up to 4MHz. When synchronized, the device aligns its PWM edges to the external source - reducing beat frequencies and simplifying EMI filter design in multi-converter systems - while retaining all internal protections and regulation accuracy.
