Product details
Overview
ISL85003FRZ-T7A from Renesas Electronics is a highly efficient 3A synchronous buck regulator with integrated high-side (65mΩ) and low-side (45mΩ) NFETs, operating from 4.5V to 18V input and delivering ±1% output regulation down to 0.8V. It supports automatic DCM/CCM mode switching for light-load efficiency and features 500kHz fixed-frequency operation with external synchronization up to 2MHz - ideal for point-of-load regulation in industrial embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the ISL85003FRZ-T7A datasheet, ISL85003FRZ-T7A pinout, ISL85003FRZ-T7A application, or ISL85003FRZ-T7A equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3mm×4mm DFN-12 package, internal/external compensation flexibility, SYNC-controlled mode selection, open-drain power-good output, and robust protection suite including overcurrent, overvoltage, and thermal shutdown.
Technical Context
The ISL85003FRZ-T7A implements current-mode control with slope compensation (550mV/µs at 500kHz), enabling stable loop response across wide VIN/VOUT ranges. Its DCM/CCM auto-transition logic minimizes light-load quiescent current (4.5mA typical) while maintaining tight regulation (±1% over line/load/temp).
It integrates a 5V LDO (4.3–5.5V output) powered from VIN, a 0.8V reference with ±8mV tolerance, and lossless current sensing via rDS(ON)-based MOSFET voltage monitoring - eliminating external sense resistors and supporting precise 4.0–6.0A positive overcurrent protection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5V to 18V - supports standard 12V rail and wide-input industrial supplies without pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | Continuous 3A - sufficient for FPGA core rails, microcontroller SoCs, and ASIC I/O domains. |
| Output Voltage Accuracy | ±1% over line, load, and temperature - ensures reliable downstream logic operation without margining overhead. |
| Switching Frequency | 500kHz nominal, syncable 300kHz–2MHz - balances EMI, inductor size, and efficiency for compact designs. |

Pinout & Package
ISL85003FRZ-T7A is housed in a thermally enhanced 12-lead 3mm×4mm Dual Flat No-Lead (DFN) package with exposed thermal pad (PGND). The package enables high-power density and low thermal resistance (θJA = 49°C/W, θJC = 5°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (SYNC) | Synchronization & mode control input | Connect to AGND for DCM, VDD for forced CCM, or external clock (300kHz–2MHz) for EMI reduction. |
| 2 (PG) | Open-drain power-good output | Signals valid output after 1.5ms delay; requires external pull-up to VDD or ≤5.5V rail. |
| 3 (EN) | Enable input | Active-high logic: device enabled when voltage exceeds 0.6V (60mV hysteresis). |
| 4 (FB) | Feedback input | Connects to resistor divider; regulates output to 0.8V reference with ±8mV tolerance. |
| 5 (COMP) | Compensation node | Internal compensation selected by shorting to AGND; external network enables custom loop tuning. |
| 6 (AGND) | Analog ground reference | Return path for error amplifier and control circuitry; must be tied to PGND on PCB. |
| 7,8 (PHASE) | Switch node output | Drives external inductor; connects to BOOT capacitor and inductor switch node. |
| 9,10 (VIN) | Main power input | Supplies high-side gate driver and internal LDO; requires local 10µF ceramic decoupling. |
| 11 (VDD) | Internal 5V LDO output | Power source for analog/digital blocks; connect 1µF capacitor to ground; tie to VIN if VIN ≤5.5V. |
| 12 (BOOT) | Bootstrap supply | Connect 0.1µF capacitor between BOOT and PHASE to drive high-side NFET gate. |
| 13 (PGND) | Power ground / thermal pad | Source connection for low-side FET and primary thermal path; requires ≥8 vias to inner ground plane. |
Key Features

FAQ
What is the recommended input capacitor for ISL85003FRZ-T7A?
A 10µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor placed close to the VIN pins (9 and 10) is recommended per the datasheet. This value ensures effective high-frequency decoupling and stability across the 4.5V–18V input range. For higher ripple current handling or transient suppression, parallel placement with a 1µF ceramic is advised - but the 10µF value remains the minimum required for reliable ISL85003FRZ-T7A operation.
Does ISL85003FRZ-T7A support external compensation?
Yes, ISL85003FRZ-T7A supports both internal and external compensation. Internal compensation is selected by connecting the COMP pin (5) directly to AGND (6). For custom loop response tuning - such as optimizing transient response in high-capacitance output stages - an external RC network can be placed between COMP and FB pins, as detailed in the "Loop Compensation Design" section of the FN7968 datasheet.
How does the SYNC pin function on ISL85003FRZ-T7A?
On ISL85003FRZ-T7A, the SYNC pin (1) serves dual functions: mode selection and external synchronization. Pulling SYNC to AGND enables DCM mode; tying it to VDD forces CCM; applying a 300kHz–2MHz external clock enables synchronization. An internal 1MΩ pull-up prevents floating states. This differs from ISL85003A's SS pin, confirming ISL85003FRZ-T7A's identity as the SYNC-enabled variant.
What is the thermal performance of ISL85003FRZ-T7A in its DFN package?
The ISL85003FRZ-T7A uses a 3mm×4mm DFN package with exposed thermal pad (PGND), achieving θJA = 49°C/W and θJC = 5°C/W. With ≥8 thermal vias to an internal ground plane, it sustains 3A continuous output at +85°C ambient without derating. Thermal shutdown activates at 165°C junction temperature with 10°C hysteresis, protecting the ISL85003FRZ-T7A during overload or poor airflow conditions.
Can ISL85003FRZ-T7A regulate output voltages below 0.8V?
No, ISL85003FRZ-T7A cannot regulate below 0.8V. Its internal reference is fixed at 0.8V ±8mV, and the feedback architecture requires the FB pin voltage to equal this reference. Output voltage is set by the resistor divider ratio: VOUT = 0.8V × (1 + R1/R2). Therefore, the lowest achievable regulated output is 0.8V - confirmed by datasheet specifications, typical application schematics, and electrical test conditions.
