Product details
Overview
ISL8025IRTAJZ-T from Renesas Electronics is a monolithic synchronous buck DC/DC regulator delivering 5A continuous output current from 2.7V–5.5V input, featuring 36mΩ P-channel and 13mΩ N-channel integrated MOSFETs, 1MHz default switching frequency, and 0.6V reference voltage with 0.8% accuracy over temperature/load/line. It enables compact point-of-load power for FPGA core rails in space-constrained embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the ISL8025IRTAJZ-T datasheet, ISL8025IRTAJZ-T pinout, ISL8025IRTAJZ-T application, or ISL8025IRTAJZ-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100% duty-cycle capability (≤180mV dropout at 5A), internal/external compensation flexibility, hiccup-mode overcurrent protection, soft-stop output discharge, and compatibility with 3×3 mm QFN thermal design requirements.
Technical Context
The ISL8025IRTAJZ-T employs current-mode control architecture to ensure fast transient response and stable loop behavior across 500kHz–4MHz programmable switching frequencies. Its dual-MOSFET integration-P-channel high-side (36mΩ typ.) and N-channel low-side (13mΩ typ.)-minimizes conduction loss and eliminates external driver components.
Operation supports both forced continuous conduction mode (reducing EMI) and discontinuous mode (improving light-load efficiency), with configurable soft-start (1ms fixed or adjustable), power-good monitoring with 1ms delay, and comprehensive fault protection including overtemperature (150°C trip), overvoltage, negative overcurrent (−3A typ.), and hiccup-mode short-circuit limiting.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 5A continuous - supports high-current FPGA, µP, and DSP core rails 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 intermediate bus architectures. |
| Default Switching Frequency | 1MHz - balances efficiency and component size; adjustable from 500kHz to 4MHz via FS pin resistor. |
| Reference Voltage Accuracy | ±0.8% over temperature/load/line - ensures tight output regulation for sensitive digital loads like ARM cores. |
| ON-Resistance (HS/LG) | 36mΩ / 13mΩ typical - reduces conduction loss and improves full-load efficiency up to 95%. |
| Duty Cycle Range | 0–100% - enables ultra-low dropout operation (e.g., 1.8VOUT from 2.0V input) in battery-depleted conditions. |
| Thermal Package | 16-lead 3×3 mm TQFN with exposed pad - achieves θJA = 47°C/W for high-power density PCB layouts. |
Pinout & Package
ISL8025IRTAJZ-T is housed in a RoHS-compliant, Pb-free 16-lead 3×3 mm TQFN package with exposed thermal pad (PKG DWG L16.3x3D), optimized for low-inductance layout and efficient heat transfer to SGND plane via multiple vias.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (1,16) | Input supply rail | Primary power input; requires ≥2×22µF ceramic decoupling close to pins for stability under 5A transients. |
| PHASE (13–15) | Switching node | Connects directly to inductor; carries high di/dt; internal 100Ω discharge path during shutdown. |
| PGND (11,12) | Power ground return | Low-impedance return path for high-side and low-side FET currents; separate from SGND. |
| SGND (10) | Signal ground reference | Analog reference for FB, COMP, SS; must be connected to exposed pad and isolated from PGND at single point. |
| FB (8) | Feedback input | Senses output voltage via resistor divider; sets VOUT = 0.6V × (1 + R2/R3); monitors PG and UVLO. |
| COMP (9) | Error amplifier output | Internal compensation node; connect to VDD for standard config; external network required for custom loop tuning. |
| EN (5) | Enable control | Active-high logic input; pulls output capacitor to SGND via internal soft-stop switch when disabled. |
| PG (3) | Power-good indicator | Open-drain output with 1ms delay after regulation; requires external pull-up to VIN for system sequencing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated MOSFETs | 36mΩ P-ch HS + 13mΩ N-ch LS - eliminates external drivers and reduces BOM count by ≥4 components. |
| 100% Duty-Cycle Operation | Enables ≤180mV dropout at 5A - critical for maintaining core voltage during Li-ion battery sag below 3.0V. |
| Configurable Light-Load Mode | PFM (high efficiency) or forced CCM (low noise) - selectable via SYNC pin for mixed-signal system optimization. |
| Robust Fault Protection | Hiccup OCP, −3A negative current limit, 150°C thermal shutdown, OV/UV lockout - prevents damage during faults without external circuitry. |
| Flexible Compensation | Internal (COMP-to-VDD) or external (COMP-to-SGND network) - simplifies design for standard apps or enables fine-tuned loop response. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISL8023IRAJZ-T | 3A output rating, same 3×3 QFN package and pinout, 1MHz default frequency, but lacks SYNC pin and PFM mode. | Not suitable for 5A loads or noise-sensitive PFM operation; limited to simpler, lower-current POL use cases. | Select only when 3A max current suffices and system-level EMI constraints allow fixed PWM-only operation. |
| TPS54560BQPWPRQ1 | 6A output, wider 3.5–60V input, external MOSFETs, no integrated FETs; requires additional gate drivers and discrete power stage. | Designed for automotive 12V/24V systems, not low-voltage battery apps; larger solution size and higher BOM cost. | Choose only for high-input-voltage industrial applications where ISL8025IRTAJZ-T's 5.5V VIN limit is insufficient. |
Compared with ISL8025IRTAJZ-T, ISL8023IRAJZ-T offers identical footprint and control interface but reduced current capability, while TPS54560BQPWPRQ1 provides higher voltage range and current but demands external power stage design effort and sacrifices integration benefits.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current supported by the ISL8025IRTAJZ-T?
The ISL8025IRTAJZ-T supports 5A of continuous output current across its full operating temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) when properly heatsinked on a 4-layer PCB with thermal vias to SGND. This rating assumes 2.7V–5.5V input, 1MHz switching, and adequate output capacitance per the datasheet recommendations.
Does the ISL8025IRTAJZ-T support external synchronization of its switching frequency?
Yes, the ISL8025IRTAJZ-T supports external synchronization up to 4MHz via the SYNC pin. When driven with a clean CMOS clock signal, the device locks its internal oscillator to the external source, enabling deterministic EMI reduction and multi-rail phase alignment in complex power systems.
How does the soft-stop function operate during shutdown of the ISL8025IRTAJZ-T?
When the EN pin is pulled low, the ISL8025IRTAJZ-T activates an internal soft-stop switch that discharges the output capacitor through a controlled path, preventing voltage overshoot or reverse current flow into the load. This ensures safe, sequenced power-down in systems with multiple dependent rails.
What is the purpose of the PHASE pin on the ISL8025IRTAJZ-T, and how should it be routed?
The PHASE pin on the ISL8025IRTAJZ-T is the high-current switching node connecting to the inductor's input terminal. It must be routed with minimal trace length and width ≥15 mils to reduce parasitic inductance and EMI. The internal 100Ω discharge path activates during shutdown, so routing must avoid coupling to sensitive analog traces.
Can the ISL8025IRTAJZ-T operate with a 0.8V output voltage, and what is the minimum achievable output?
Yes, the ISL8025IRTAJZ-T can regulate down to 0.6V - its internal reference voltage - making 0.8V fully supported. Output is set by the FB resistor divider: VOUT = 0.6V × (1 + R2/R3). For 0.8V, a common configuration uses R2 = 33kΩ and R3 = 100kΩ, verified in Table 2 of the datasheet.
