Product details
Overview
ISL8088IRZ-T from Renesas Electronics (formerly Intersil) is a dual-channel synchronous buck DC/DC regulator delivering up to 800mA per channel with 2.25MHz fixed switching frequency, 0.6V reference voltage, and selectable forced PWM or PFM mode operation. It supports input voltages from 2.75V to 5.5V and enables compact power delivery for battery-powered microprocessor cores.
For engineers reviewing the ISL8088IRZ-T datasheet, ISL8088IRZ-T pinout, ISL8088IRZ-T application, or ISL8088IRZ-T equivalent, key selection considerations include its 3mm×3mm 10-lead DFN package, 30µA light-load quiescent current in PFM mode, dual-channel independent enable control (EN1/EN2), and 1ms Power-Good monitoring of both outputs.
Technical Context
The ISL8088IRZ-T employs current-mode PWM control with internal slope compensation and transconductance error amplifiers, enabling fast transient response and stable loop behavior across load and line variations. Its dual-channel architecture operates in-phase with independent feedback (FB1/FB2) and enable (EN1/EN2) inputs.
It integrates P-channel and N-channel MOSFETs with typical 180mΩ on-resistance each, supports external synchronization up to 4MHz via the SYNC pin, and features soft-start (2ms ramp), output discharge during shutdown (100Ω internal switch), and thermal shutdown at +150°C with 25°C hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current per Channel | 800mA continuous - supports dual-core µC/FPGA rail generation without external current boosting. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.25MHz (typical) - enables use of small 2.2µH inductors and 10µF ceramic output capacitors, minimizing board area. |
| Quiescent Current (PFM) | 30µA total for both channels - extends battery life in always-on low-power states. |
| Feedback Reference Voltage | 0.6V ±10mV - sets precise output regulation down to 0.6V with external resistor divider scaling. |
| Power-Good Delay | 1ms rising-edge delay - provides reliable system reset timing after both outputs stabilize within regulation. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.75V to 5.5V - compatible with single Li+ cell (fully charged to 4.2V), three NiMH cells, or regulated 5V rails. |
| Thermal Shutdown Threshold | +150°C with +130°C restart - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
Pinout & Package
ISL8088IRZ-T is housed in a 3mm × 3mm, 10-lead DFN package with exposed thermal pad (PD) requiring connection to PGND via multiple vias for optimal thermal performance and electrical stability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| FB1 | Channel 1 feedback input | Negative input to transconductance error amplifier; sets VOUT1 via resistor divider referenced to 0.6V internal bandgap. |
| EN1 | Channel 1 enable | Active-high logic input; enables VOUT1 and initiates soft-start when high, discharges output capacitor when low. |
| VIN | Main input supply | Accepts 2.75V–5.5V; requires 10µF ceramic decoupling to PGND close to pin. |
| LX1 | Channel 1 switch node | Connects to inductor terminal; carries high-frequency pulsed current from integrated P/N-MOSFET pair. |
| NC | No-connect | Internally unused; recommended to connect to exposed pad (PD) for mechanical/thermal integrity. |
| SYNC | Mode selection/synchronization | Logic-level input: GND = forced PWM; VIN = PFM; external clock edge-triggered = sync up to 4MHz. |
| LX2 | Channel 2 switch node | Identical function to LX1 for second channel; supports independent inductor placement. |
| PG | Power-Good open-drain output | 1ms-delayed active-low signal indicating both VOUT1 and VOUT2 are within ±8% of nominal; includes 1MΩ internal pull-up. |
| EN2 | Channel 2 enable | Independent active-high control for VOUT2; allows staggered power sequencing or selective channel disable. |
| FB2 | Channel 2 feedback input | Same function as FB1 for VOUT2; supports independent output voltage programming (e.g., 2.5V + 1.8V). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 100% duty-cycle operation | Enables ultra-low dropout during battery brownout - maintains regulation until VIN drops below VOUT + ILOAD × RDS(on). |
| Internal digital soft-start | 2ms controlled voltage ramp prevents inrush current and stabilizes startup into pre-biased loads. |
| Soft-stop output discharge | 100Ω internal switch actively discharges output capacitors during shutdown - eliminates residual voltage holdup. |
| Selectably synchronized operation | SYNC pin accepts external clock up to 4MHz - eliminates beat frequencies in multi-regulator systems. |
| Start-up with pre-biased output | Supports hot-swap and rail-sharing applications by safely ramping from non-zero initial output voltage. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS65023RSBR | Triple-output PMIC (2 buck + 1 LDO); 600mA per buck; 2.25MHz; no PFM mode; 4×4 QFN-24 | Integrated LDO simplifies auxiliary rail generation but lacks PFM efficiency for ultra-low-power sleep modes | Choose when needing a third regulated rail and board space permits larger 4×4mm package |
| RTQ2132BGQW | Dual 3A buck; 500kHz–2.2MHz adjustable freq; 25µA IQ in auto-mode; 3×3 DFN-10 same footprint | Higher current capability and wider frequency tuning, but no 100% duty cycle or dedicated PG pin | Choose when higher output current or programmable frequency outweighs need for guaranteed brownout regulation and hardware reset signaling |
Compared with TPS65023RSBR and RTQ2132BGQW, the ISL8088IRZ-T uniquely combines dual 800mA channels, 30µA PFM quiescent current, 100% duty cycle, and dedicated 1ms PG in a 3×3mm DFN - making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-sensitive dual-rail systems requiring deterministic power-good timing.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported input voltage for the ISL8088IRZ-T?
The ISL8088IRZ-T supports an absolute maximum input voltage of 6.5V for continuous operation and 7V for up to 20ms. Its recommended operating range is 2.75V to 5.5V, making it ideal for single Li+ cells (2.75–4.2V) and regulated 3.3V/5V supplies. Exceeding 5.5V risks violating recommended conditions and may impact reliability or thermal performance.
Does the ISL8088IRZ-T support independent voltage programming for each channel?
Yes, the ISL8088IRZ-T supports fully independent voltage programming via separate feedback networks: FB1 sets VOUT1 and FB2 sets VOUT2, each referenced to the internal 0.6V bandgap. Typical configurations include 2.5V/1.8V, 3.3V/1.2V, or identical rails. Resistor dividers must be selected to ensure FB voltage remains within –0.3V to +2.7V under all operating conditions.
How does the ISL8088IRZ-T handle output short-circuit conditions?
The ISL8088IRZ-T implements cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection using internal current sense amplifiers (CSA1/CSA2) monitoring the P-MOSFET current. When sensed current exceeds ~1.2A (typical peak limit), the P-MOSFET is immediately turned off and remains off until the next switching cycle. This limits fault energy and prevents thermal runaway during sustained shorts.
Can the ISL8088IRZ-T operate with pre-biased output capacitors?
Yes, the ISL8088IRZ-T supports start-up with pre-biased outputs - a critical feature for hot-swap and power-redundant systems. In forced PWM mode, it begins soft-start even when VOUT > 0V, ramping the reference while monitoring FB to avoid reverse current flow. This behavior is confirmed in the datasheet's "Soft-Start-Up" section and Figure 26–29 waveforms.
What thermal performance can be expected from the ISL8088IRZ-T in its 3mm×3mm DFN package?
The ISL8088IRZ-T has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 49°C/W and junction-to-case (θJC) of 4°C/W when mounted on a standard PCB with the exposed pad properly connected to PGND via ≥4 thermal vias. At 800mA per channel and 5V input, power dissipation remains below 0.3W, keeping junction temperature rise under 15°C above ambient under typical layout conditions.
