Product details
Overview
ISL8088IRZ-T7A 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 feedback reference, and selectable forced PWM or PFM mode. It operates from 2.75V–5.5V input and supports output voltages as low as 0.6V - ideal for powering microcontrollers and FPGAs in space-constrained Li-ion battery devices.
For engineers reviewing the ISL8088IRZ-T7A datasheet, ISL8088IRZ-T7A pinout, ISL8088IRZ-T7A application, or ISL8088IRZ-T7A equivalent, key selection considerations include its 30µA light-load quiescent current in PFM mode, 1ms power-good timing, internal digital soft-start, and 10-lead 3mm×3mm DFN package with exposed thermal pad.
Technical Context
The ISL8088IRZ-T7A employs current-mode control with integrated slope compensation and transconductance error amplifiers for fast transient response and stable loop behavior across load and line variations. Its dual in-phase channels share a single oscillator and support independent enable (EN1/EN2) and feedback (FB1/FB2) networks.
It implements dual-mode operation: forced PWM (SYNC = GND) ensures constant 2.25MHz switching for EMI-sensitive applications, while PFM mode (SYNC = VIN) reduces quiescent current to 30µA at light loads. External synchronization up to 4MHz is supported via negative-edge-triggered SYNC pin.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current per Channel | 800mA continuous - sufficient to power core logic of mid-tier microcontrollers or FPGA I/O banks without external boost stages. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.25MHz (typical), adjustable 2.7–4MHz via SYNC - enables use of compact 2.2µH inductors and 10µF ceramic output capacitors, minimizing PCB area to <1.8cm². |
| Feedback Reference Voltage | 0.6V ±10mV - allows precise low-voltage regulation down to 0.6V using standard resistor dividers; supports 1.8V/2.5V dual-rail POL designs. |
| Quiescent Current (PFM) | 30µA total for both channels - extends battery runtime in always-on sensor nodes or standby modes of portable instrumentation. |
| Power-Good Delay | 1ms fixed delay - provides deterministic system reset timing after both outputs reach regulation, compatible with µC reset controllers requiring stable VDD before release. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C with 25°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload or poor heatsinking in sealed enclosures without requiring external thermal monitoring. |
| Package | 10-lead 3mm×3mm DFN with exposed pad - achieves θJA = 49°C/W and θJC = 4°C/W for high-power-density thermal management. |
Pinout & Package
ISL8088IRZ-T7A is housed in a RoHS-compliant, Pb-free 10-lead 3mm×3mm DFN package (pkg drawing L10.3x3C) with an exposed thermal pad (PD) that must be soldered to PGND for electrical integrity and optimal thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| FB1 / FB2 | Channel 1 / Channel 2 feedback input | Negative input to transconductance error amplifier; sets output voltage via external resistor divider referenced to 0.6V internal bandgap. |
| EN1 / EN2 | Channel 1 / Channel 2 enable input | Active-high logic control; enables output and initiates soft-start when high; discharges output capacitor when low. |
| VIN | Main input supply | Accepts 2.75V–5.5V; requires local 10µF ceramic decoupling to PGND to suppress high-frequency switching noise. |
| LX1 / LX2 | Channel 1 / Channel 2 switch node | Connects to inductor terminal; carries high di/dt switching current; layout requires short, low-inductance routing to minimize EMI. |
| SYNC | Mode selection & sync input | Logic-level pin: GND = forced PWM; VIN = PFM; external clock (≤4MHz, negative edge) = synchronization source. |
| PG | Power-good open-drain output | 1ms-delayed active-low signal indicating both outputs are within ±8% of nominal; includes internal 1MΩ pull-up. |
| NC | No-connect | Internally unused; recommended to connect to exposed pad (PGND) for mechanical stability and thermal conduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Internal digital soft-start | 2ms ramp time - prevents inrush current into downstream capacitance during power-up, eliminating need for external soft-start circuitry. |
| Soft-stop output discharge | 100Ω internal discharge switch - safely bleeds stored energy from output capacitors during shutdown, preventing backfeeding or latch-up in multi-rail systems. |
| 100% duty-cycle operation | Enables dropout as low as IOUT × RDS(on) (P-MOSFET) - maximizes usable battery voltage range in single-cell Li+ applications. |
| Start-up with pre-biased output | Supports powered-up downstream rails - avoids reverse current flow during sequencing, critical for hot-swap or modular power architectures. |
| Overcurrent protection | Peak current limit of 1.2A (typ) per channel with cycle-by-cycle limiting - protects MOSFETs and inductors during short-circuit or overload events. |
Applications
| Microcontroller Core Power | FPGA I/O Bank Supply |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62400DRVR | 2.25MHz switching, 600mA per channel, 0.6V reference, but lacks SYNC pin and external synchronization capability. | Not suitable for systems requiring EMI-controlled fixed-frequency operation or multi-device clock alignment. | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs need for sync or higher current; verify thermal margin at 800mA due to lower rated output. |
| RTQ2132BGQW | 3MHz switching, 1A per channel, integrated compensation, but only supports forced PWM mode - no PFM/low-IQ option. | Higher efficiency at heavy loads, but 25µA shutdown current vs. ISL8088IRZ-T7A's 6.5µA limits ultra-low-power standby use cases. | Prefer for high-performance, thermally constrained designs where light-load efficiency is secondary to peak output capability. |
Compared with TPS62400DRVR and RTQ2132BGQW, the ISL8088IRZ-T7A uniquely balances ultra-low 30µA PFM quiescent current, 4MHz sync capability, and 800mA per channel in a 3mm×3mm footprint - making it optimal for battery-powered systems demanding both runtime and EMI control.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for the ISL8088IRZ-T7A to regulate a 1.8V output?
The ISL8088IRZ-T7A has a 2.75V minimum input voltage specification under recommended operating conditions. At light loads and with 100% duty cycle enabled, it can sustain regulation down to VOUT + IOUT × RDS(on), but reliable startup and full-load operation require VIN ≥ 2.75V. For a 1.8V output, this means the device cannot operate from a single NiMH cell (1.2V nominal) without pre-regulation.
Does the ISL8088IRZ-T7A support independent voltage programming for each channel?
Yes, the ISL8088IRZ-T7A supports fully independent voltage programming via separate FB1 and FB2 pins. Each feedback node connects to its own resistor divider network referenced to the internal 0.6V bandgap, enabling different output voltages (e.g., 1.8V on Channel 1 and 2.5V on Channel 2) without cross-coupling or shared components.
How does the ISL8088IRZ-T7A handle power sequencing between its two outputs?
The ISL8088IRZ-T7A provides independent EN1 and EN2 pins, allowing precise control over turn-on and turn-off timing of each channel. Combined with internal 2ms digital soft-start and a shared PG output that monitors both rails, it supports flexible sequencing - such as powering core logic before I/O banks - without external timers or supervisors.
Can the ISL8088IRZ-T7A be synchronized to an external clock source?
Yes, the ISL8088IRZ-T7A accepts an external clock signal on the SYNC pin, supporting synchronization up to 4MHz with negative-edge triggering. This feature eliminates beat frequencies in multi-converter systems and enables deterministic EMI reduction - a capability not found in many competing dual-buck regulators.
What protection features are integrated into the ISL8088IRZ-T7A?
The ISL8088IRZ-T7A integrates overcurrent protection (1.2A peak limit per channel), thermal shutdown (150°C with 25°C hysteresis), input undervoltage lockout (2.75V rising threshold), soft-stop output discharge (100Ω internal switch), and power-good monitoring with 1ms delay. All protections operate autonomously without external components.
