Product details
Overview
ISL85005FRZ-T from Renesas Electronics is a monolithic synchronous buck regulator with integrated 5A/18V high-side and low-side MOSFETs, 4.5V–18V input range, fixed 500kHz switching frequency, and synchronization capability up to 2MHz. It supports forced CCM or diode emulation mode (DEM) for light-load efficiency and delivers regulated output voltage via current-mode control with ±1% 0.8V reference - used in point-of-load supplies for embedded computing and network equipment.
For engineers reviewing the ISL85005FRZ-T datasheet, ISL85005FRZ-T pinout, ISL85005FRZ-T application, or ISL85005FRZ-T equivalent, key selection factors include its internal bootstrap diode, programmable soft-start absence (fixed 2.3ms), SYNC/MODE pin configuration flexibility, thermal shutdown at 165°C, and DFN-12 (3mm×4mm) package with exposed pad for enhanced thermal performance.
Technical Context
The ISL85005FRZ-T implements current-mode control with internal slope compensation and an internal oscillator set to 500kHz, configurable via external clock synchronization (300kHz–2MHz). Its MODE pin selects between forced continuous conduction mode (FCCM) and diode emulation mode (DEM), enabling high efficiency across load ranges.
Protection architecture includes high-side cycle-by-cycle current limit (7.8A typ), low-side forward/reverse overcurrent thresholds (8.6A / –3.3A), input UVLO (4.35V rising), input/output overvoltage lockout, and thermal shutdown with 10°C hysteresis - all integrated without external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5V to 18V - supports multi-cell batteries and standard 12V/5V rails without pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | Up to 5A continuous - enables single-chip point-of-load conversion for FPGA, ASIC, and microprocessor core supplies. |
| Switching Frequency | Fixed 500kHz internal clock, synchronizable to 300kHz–2MHz - allows EMI optimization and power stage component reuse. |
| Feedback Reference | ±1% accurate 0.8V reference - ensures tight output regulation (e.g., ±12mV at 1.2V out) across temperature and line. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 165°C threshold with 10°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |
| Package | 12-pin 3mm×4mm DFN with EPAD - provides low θJA (41°C/W) and direct thermal path to PCB ground plane. |
| Soft-Start Time | Fixed 2.3ms - limits inrush current during startup without requiring external capacitor. |
Pinout & Package
ISL85005FRZ-T uses a RoHS-compliant 12-pin Dual Flat No-Lead (DFN) package measuring 3mm × 4mm with exposed thermal pad (EPAD) on underside for optimal heat dissipation. The package is pin-compatible with ISL85005A variants and designed for high-density PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (SYNC/MODE) | Mode selection & sync input | Configures FCCM (pull to VDD), DEM (pull to AGND), or external clock sync (300kHz–2MHz); internal 1MΩ pull-up prevents floating state. |
| 2 (PG) | Power-good open-drain output | Signals regulation status after 1.5ms delay when output reaches 85% of target; requires external pull-up (10kΩ–100kΩ). |
| 3 (EN) | Enable control input | Active-high enable with 0.6V threshold and 100mV hysteresis; pulls device into shutdown when grounded. |
| 4 (FB) | Feedback node | Connects to resistor divider; regulates output using precise 0.8V reference - sets VOUT = 0.8V × (1 + R1/R2). |
| 5 (COMP) | Compensation node | Internal compensation enabled by shorting to AGND; external network between COMP and FB supports custom loop tuning. |
| 6 (AGND) | Analog ground reference | Return path for error amplifier and control circuitry; must be tied to PGND internally but routed separately on PCB. |
| 7,8 (PHASE) | Switch node | Drives external inductor; connects directly to source of low-side FET and drain of high-side FET - high dv/dt node requiring careful layout. |
| 9,10 (VIN) | Main power input | Accepts 4.5V–18V input; requires local ceramic decoupling (e.g., 10µF X7R) placed near pins 9/10 to PGND. |
| 11 (VDD) | LDO output supply | Internally generated 5V rail (4.3–5.5V) powering gate drivers and analog blocks; bypass with 1µF ceramic to AGND. |
| 12 (BOOT) | Bootstrap supply | Floating supply for high-side gate driver; requires 0.1µF ceramic capacitor between BOOT and PHASE. |
| (EPAD) | Power ground / thermal pad | Connected to low-side FET source and internal PGND; must be soldered to large PCB copper area with multiple vias for thermal and electrical integrity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 5A/18V MOSFETs | Eliminates external power switches and reduces BOM count while maintaining <95mΩ high-side and <75mΩ low-side RDS(on) at 100mA. |
| Internal bootstrap diode | Removes need for external bootstrap diode, simplifying layout and improving reliability in high-frequency operation. |
| Diode Emulation Mode (DEM) | Disables low-side FET during light loads to prevent reverse current, boosting efficiency at sub-500mA loads without external control. |
| Synchronization input | Enables system-level EMI reduction by aligning switching edges with master clock - critical in multi-rail power systems. |
| Built-in protection suite | Includes UVLO, input/output OVP, cycle-by-cycle OCP, reverse OCP, and thermal shutdown - no external fault monitoring required. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISL85005AFRZ-T | Fixed 500kHz frequency; programmable soft-start via SS pin (3.5µA charge current); no SYNC capability. | Preferred where soft-start timing must be adjusted for inrush-sensitive loads (e.g., SSDs), but synchronization is unnecessary. | Select ISL85005AFRZ-T if soft-start customization is required and system clock sync is not needed. |
| MPQ4572GQB-AEC1-Z | Automotive-grade (AEC-Q100), 4.5V–60V input, 2A output, no DEM mode, different pinout and compensation scheme. | Targeted at automotive infotainment and ADAS; lacks DEM and sync features but offers extended input range and qualification. | Choose MPQ4572GQB-AEC1-Z only for AEC-Q100-compliant designs requiring >18V input - not a drop-in replacement. |
Compared with ISL85005AFRZ-T, the ISL85005FRZ-T offers synchronization flexibility at the cost of fixed soft-start; versus MPQ4572GQB-AEC1-Z, it delivers higher current and DEM efficiency in non-automotive industrial applications but lacks extended input voltage and qualification.

FAQ
What is the switching frequency configuration of the ISL85005FRZ-T?
The ISL85005FRZ-T has a default internally set switching frequency of 500kHz and supports external synchronization from 300kHz to 2MHz via its SYNC/MODE pin. Unlike the ISL85005A variant, it does not offer programmable soft-start - instead providing a fixed 2.3ms soft-start time. This makes the ISL85005FRZ-T ideal for systems requiring EMI control through clock alignment without soft-start adjustment.
Does the ISL85005FRZ-T support diode emulation mode (DEM)?
Yes, the ISL85005FRZ-T supports Diode Emulation Mode (DEM) via its MODE pin: pulling pin 1 (SYNC/MODE) to AGND enables DEM, which disables the low-side MOSFET during light loads to prevent reverse current and improve efficiency below ~500mA. In contrast, connecting pin 1 to VDD configures Forced Continuous Conduction Mode (FCCM) for constant-frequency operation across all loads. This dual-mode capability is intrinsic to the ISL85005FRZ-T silicon and requires no external components.
What package type and thermal characteristics does the ISL85005FRZ-T use?
The ISL85005FRZ-T uses a 12-pin 3mm × 4mm Dual Flat No-Lead (DFN) package with exposed thermal pad (EPAD), achieving a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 41°C/W under standard test conditions. Its θJC is 3°C/W, confirming highly efficient heat transfer from die to EPAD. The package is RoHS-compliant, moisture-sensitivity level 3 (MSL3), and rated for operation from –40°C to +125°C junction temperature - making it suitable for industrial and networking environments.
How does the ISL85005FRZ-T handle overcurrent and overvoltage protection?
The ISL85005FRZ-T integrates comprehensive protection: high-side cycle-by-cycle current limit (7.8A typical), low-side forward overcurrent (8.6A) and reverse overcurrent (–3.3A), input overvoltage lockout (19V threshold), output overvoltage detection, and thermal shutdown at 165°C with 10°C hysteresis. These functions operate autonomously without external components - for example, reverse OCP triggers when current flows from PHASE into the low-side FET during discontinuous conduction, preventing shoot-through and inductor saturation.
Can the ISL85005FRZ-T be used with internal compensation only?
Yes, the ISL85005FRZ-T supports internal compensation by connecting the COMP pin (pin 5) directly to AGND (pin 6), eliminating the need for external RC networks in most applications. This configuration meets stability requirements for standard 3.3µH inductors and 47µF output capacitors. External compensation remains available by placing a network between COMP and FB for specialized transient response or EMI requirements - but internal compensation is validated and recommended for general-purpose use of the ISL85005FRZ-T.
