Product details
Overview
ISL8112IRZ-T from Renesas Electronics (formerly Intersil) is a dual-output synchronous buck controller with integrated 2A gate drivers, designed for high-efficiency main power supplies in battery-powered systems. It delivers two independently configurable SMPS outputs (SMPS1: 0.7–5.5V; SMPS2: 0–2.5V/5V), a programmable LDO (3.3V/5V or 0.7–4.5V), ±1.5% output voltage accuracy, and constant on-time control with 100ns load-step response - enabling use in DDR1/2/3 memory power and portable telecom POL applications.
For engineers reviewing the ISL8112IRZ-T datasheet, ISL8112IRZ-T pinout, ISL8112IRZ-T application, or ISL8112IRZ-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its ultrasonic skip mode (>25kHz at light load), selectable PWM/skip/ultrasonic operation modes, independent enable and PGOOD signals per channel, thermal shutdown, and 32-pin 5×5 QFN package with exposed thermal pad.
Technical Context
The ISL8112IRZ-T implements a constant on-time PWM architecture with input voltage feed-forward, eliminating sense resistors while maintaining stable switching frequency across line/load variations. Its dual controllers operate with independent mode selection (PWM, pulse-skipping, or ultrasonic skip), digital soft-start (1.7ms), and internal soft-stop discharge to prevent negative voltages during shutdown.
It integrates a 100mA/200mA switch-over LDO with automatic bootstrap from BYP, dual precision references (2.0V ±1.0%, 3.3V ±2.0%), temperature-compensated rDS(ON) current sensing, and programmable current limit with foldback - all coordinated via dedicated EN1/EN2, MODE, FS, and ILIM1/ILIM2 pins for system-level sequencing and fault management.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 5.5V to 25V - supports wide-input industrial and multi-cell Li+ battery systems without external pre-regulation. |
| SMPS1 Output Range | 0.7V to 5.5V - covers DDR termination, core logic, and I/O rails with ±1.5% accuracy over temperature. |
| SMPS2 Output Range | 0V to 2.5V (direct sensing) or up to 5V (resistor divider) - enables tracking, low-voltage peripherals, and dynamic voltage scaling. |
| LDO Output Options | Fixed 3.3V/5V or adjustable 0.7–4.5V (2×LDOREF) - provides auxiliary bias for analog circuits or reference generation. |
| Switching Frequency | Selectable 200/300kHz, 400/300kHz, or 400/500kHz - balances EMI, efficiency, and component size per rail. |
| Quiescent Power | 5mW - minimizes standby loss in always-on battery systems like PDAs and mobile comms devices. |
| Load-Step Response | 100ns - ensures tight regulation during CPU/GPU transient loads without external compensation. |
Pinout & Package
ISL8112IRZ-T is housed in a thermally enhanced 32-lead 5mm × 5mm QFN package (PKG DWG L32.5x5B) with exposed PGND pad for efficient heat dissipation. Pin functions are validated per FN6396 Rev 1.00 datasheet.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Main power input | Supplies PWM core and linear regulator; bypassed with 1µF ceramic capacitor for stability. |
| UG1/UG2 | High-side gate drivers | Drive n-channel MOSFETs with 2A sink/source capability; require external BOOT capacitors. |
| LG1/LG2 | Low-side synchronous rectifier drivers | Provide 1.7A source / 3.3A sink into PVCC; support efficient synchronous rectification. |
| PH1/PH2 | Power switch node connections | Serve as current-sense inputs and low-side supply rails for UG drivers; connect to inductor center taps. |
| FB1/VSEN2 | Feedback and voltage-sense inputs | Enable fixed (1.05V/1.5V/3.3V/5V) or adjustable output configurations with ±1.5% regulation accuracy. |
| PGOOD1/PGOOD2 | Open-drain power-good indicators | Signal valid regulation with 1% hysteresis; used for system sequencing and fault detection. |
| EN1/EN2/EN_LDO | Independent enable inputs | Allow staggered startup, fault clearing (<0.8V), and LDO activation synchronized to SMPS readiness. |
| MODE/FS | Operating mode and frequency select | Configure PWM, skip, or ultrasonic skip mode and set SMPS1/SMPS2 frequencies independently. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Constant on-time control | Eliminates current-sense resistors and enables 100ns transient response without loop compensation. |
| Ultrasonic skip mode | Maintains switching >25kHz under light load to avoid audible noise in portable audio-sensitive designs. |
| Dual independent PGOOD outputs | Enable precise power sequencing and fault isolation between SMPS1 and SMPS2 rails. |
| Programmable current limit with foldback | Adjustable threshold (40–215mV) protects MOSFETs and inductors during overload or short-circuit events. |
| Automatic LDO bootstrap | Switches LDO output to BYP pin when voltage thresholds are met, reducing quiescent loss and improving efficiency. |
| Digital soft-start & soft-stop | 1.7ms ramp-up prevents inrush current; internal discharge avoids negative voltage on shutdown. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-output synchronous buck controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP8765GQ-Z | Single-channel controller with integrated MOSFETs; no LDO or dual independent PGOOD outputs. | Requires external LDO and sequencing logic for dual-rail systems; lacks ultrasonic skip mode. | Choose MP8765GQ-Z only when single-rail simplicity and lower cost outweigh need for dual independent control and noise-sensitive operation. |
| TPS54620RGYR | Dual-channel controller with integrated FETs; fixed 3.3V/1.2V outputs only; no adjustable LDO or BYP bootstrap. | Not suitable for variable-output DDR or dynamically scaled core rails; limited to fixed-voltage POL. | Use TPS54620RGYR where fixed dual outputs and TI ecosystem support are prioritized over flexibility and light-load acoustic performance. |

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the ISL8112IRZ-T's integrated gate drivers?
The ISL8112IRZ-T features two independent gate drivers: UG1/UG2 provide 2A sink/source capability for high-side n-channel MOSFETs, while LG1/LG2 deliver 1.7A source and 3.3A sink for low-side synchronous rectifiers. These ratings are specified at 2V gate drive and enable robust driving of external MOSFETs in high-current buck stages - critical for achieving high efficiency in ISL8112IRZ-T-based 5A–10A power supplies.
How does the ISL8112IRZ-T achieve high light-load efficiency?
The ISL8112IRZ-T achieves high light-load efficiency through three complementary mechanisms: (1) ultrasonic pulse-skipping mode maintains switching above 25kHz to eliminate audible noise while minimizing switching losses; (2) idle-mode pulse skipping reduces gate charge and transition losses at low output currents; and (3) 5mW quiescent power consumption ensures minimal static loss. These features collectively optimize ISL8112IRZ-T performance in battery standby and burst-traffic scenarios.
Can the ISL8112IRZ-T generate both fixed and adjustable outputs simultaneously?
Yes, the ISL8112IRZ-T supports mixed-mode operation: SMPS1 can be configured in adjustable mode (0.7–5.5V via FB1 resistor divider) while SMPS2 operates in fixed mode (e.g., 1.05V or 3.3V via OUT2REF connection to VREF2 or VCC). This flexibility allows designers to assign one rail for dynamic voltage scaling and the other for stable reference or interface power - a capability confirmed in the ISL8112IRZ-T datasheet's "Output Configurations" section.
What is the role of the BYP pin in the ISL8112IRZ-T's LDO operation?
The BYP pin enables automatic LDO bootstrap: when LDOREF is tied to GND (5V mode) and BYP exceeds 4.63V, or when LDOREF is tied to VCC (3.3V mode) and BYP exceeds 3.0V, the internal LDO regulator shuts down and the LDO output connects directly to BYP through a low-RDS(ON) switch (0.7Ω or 1.5Ω). This reduces conduction loss and improves overall efficiency - a key feature distinguishing the ISL8112IRZ-T from standard dual-buck controllers.
Does the ISL8112IRZ-T support power sequencing between its two SMPS outputs?
Yes, the ISL8112IRZ-T supports precise power sequencing via its independent EN1 and EN2 inputs. Connecting EN2 to VREF1 causes SMPS2 to start only after SMPS1 reaches regulation; similarly, connecting EN1 to VREF1 delays SMPS1 startup until SMPS2 is stable. Combined with digital soft-start (1.7ms) and independent PGOOD1/PGOOD2 open-drain outputs, this enables robust, fault-aware sequencing essential for ISL8112IRZ-T implementations in DDR and processor power systems.
