Product details
Overview
ISL85003FRZ-TK 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 features automatic DCM/CCM mode switching, 500kHz fixed-frequency operation, and internal compensation - ideal for point-of-load conversion in industrial and embedded computing systems.
For engineers reviewing the ISL85003FRZ-TK datasheet, ISL85003FRZ-TK pinout, ISL85003FRZ-TK application, or ISL85003FRZ-TK equivalent, key selection considerations include its 3mm×4mm DFN package, SYNC-controlled mode selection, open-drain PG window comparator, integrated boot diode with undervoltage detection, and thermal/overvoltage/overcurrent protection architecture.
Technical Context
The ISL85003FRZ-TK implements current-mode control with slope compensation (550mV/µs at 500kHz), enabling stable loop response across wide VIN/VOUT ranges. Its dual-MOSFET topology uses temperature-compensated RDS(ON)-based current sensing for lossless overcurrent protection.
Mode behavior is determined by the SYNC pin: pulled low for DCM, high for forced CCM, or driven externally for synchronization from 300kHz to 2MHz. The device includes an internal 5V LDO (VDD), 0.8V reference with ±8mV tolerance, and programmable soft-start via external capacitor on the SS pin (default 2ms).

Pinout & Package
ISL85003FRZ-TK is housed in a thermally enhanced 12-lead 3mm×4mm Dual Flat No-Lead (DFN) package with exposed thermal pad (PGND). The package supports high-current routing and efficient heat dissipation via board-level vias to internal ground planes.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SYNC (Pin 1) | Mode selection & sync input | Configures DCM/CCM operation or accepts external clock (300kHz–2MHz); internal 1MΩ pull-up prevents floating state. |
| PG (Pin 2) | Power-good open-drain output | Signals valid regulation (85–120% of target) with 1.5ms delay; requires external pull-up to VDD or ≤5.5V rail. |
| EN (Pin 3) | Enable control input | Active-high enable with 0.6V threshold and 100mV hysteresis; disables regulator and reduces quiescent current to 6µA. |
| FB (Pin 4) | Feedback node | Connects to resistor divider; sets output voltage via 0.8V reference; leakage <10nA preserves accuracy. |
| COMP (Pin 5) | Compensation node | Internal compensation selected by shorting to AGND; external network between COMP and FB enables custom loop tuning. |
| AGND (Pin 6) | Analog ground reference | Return path for error amplifier and control circuitry; must be connected to PCB ground plane, not isolated from PGND. |
| PHASE (Pins 7, 8) | Switch node | Drives external output inductor; connects directly to drain of high-side FET and source of low-side FET. |
| VIN (Pins 9, 10) | Main power input | Accepts 4.5–18V supply; requires local 10µF ceramic decoupling to PGND near pins. |
| VDD (Pin 11) | Internal LDO output | 5V regulated supply for control blocks; connect 1µF capacitor to ground; tie to VIN if VIN = 4.5–5.5V for efficiency gain. |
| BOOT (Pin 12) | Bootstrap supply | Floating gate drive supply for high-side FET; requires 0.1µF capacitor between BOOT and PHASE. |
| PGND (Pin 13 / EPAD) | Power ground & thermal pad | Source connection for low-side FET and primary thermal path; must be connected to PCB ground plane using ≥8 vias. |

FAQ
What is the recommended input capacitor for ISL85003FRZ-TK?
A 10µF ceramic capacitor placed close to the VIN and PGND pins is recommended per the datasheet. This value ensures effective high-frequency decoupling and stability across the 4.5V–18V input range. For systems with high ripple current or long input traces, adding a bulk electrolytic or polymer capacitor (e.g., 47–100µF) in parallel improves hold-up and transient response. The ISL85003FRZ-TK's internal current sensing and loop compensation are optimized for this standard input capacitance.
Does ISL85003FRZ-TK support prebiased output startup?
Yes, the ISL85003FRZ-TK supports prebiased output startup. When enabled, the device safely ramps the output from a nonzero initial voltage without forcing reverse current through the output capacitor or causing output overshoot. This feature is essential in systems with multiple power rails that may power up asynchronously, such as FPGA or SoC platforms where core and I/O supplies sequence independently. Prebias operation is enabled by default and requires no external configuration.
How does the SYNC pin function on ISL85003FRZ-TK?
On the ISL85003FRZ-TK, the SYNC pin serves three distinct functions: pulling it low selects DCM mode, pulling it high forces CCM mode, and driving it with an external clock (300kHz–2MHz, positive-edge triggered) synchronizes switching. An internal 1MΩ pull-up ensures defined logic state if left unconnected. This flexibility allows designers to optimize efficiency (DCM), noise immunity (synchronized CCM), or transient response (forced CCM) without changing hardware - all within the same ISL85003FRZ-TK footprint.
What is the thermal performance of ISL85003FRZ-TK in its DFN package?
The ISL85003FRZ-TK in its 3mm×4mm DFN package has a junction-to-case thermal resistance (θJC) of 5°C/W and junction-to-ambient (θJA) of 49°C/W under standard test conditions. With proper PCB layout - including ≥8 thermal vias connecting the exposed PGND pad to inner ground planes - the device sustains continuous 3A output at ambient temperatures up to +85°C without derating. Thermal shutdown activates at 165°C with 10°C hysteresis, providing robust protection during overload or airflow-limited conditions.
Can ISL85003FRZ-TK be used with external compensation?
Yes, ISL85003FRZ-TK supports both internal and external compensation. Internal compensation is selected by connecting the COMP pin directly to AGND - simplifying design for most applications. External compensation is enabled by inserting a Type II or Type III network between COMP and FB, allowing fine-tuning of loop bandwidth, phase margin, and transient response for demanding loads (e.g., high-capacitance FPGA rails or fast-dynamic processors). The datasheet provides design equations and example values for common output configurations.
