Product details
Overview
ISL85005FRZ-T7A 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 delivers regulated DC output for point-of-load conversion in battery-powered systems and 12V rail supplies.
For engineers reviewing the ISL85005FRZ-T7A datasheet, ISL85005FRZ-T7A pinout, ISL85005FRZ-T7A application, or ISL85005FRZ-T7A equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed protection features (UVLO, OVP, thermal shutdown), and real-world design values for soft-start, current limit, and efficiency across load conditions.
Technical Context
The ISL85005FRZ-T7A implements current-mode control with internal slope compensation and supports both forced Continuous Conduction Mode (FCCM) and Diode Emulation Mode (DEM) via the SYNC/MODE pin. Its integrated bootstrap diode eliminates external components while enabling reliable high-side gate drive under varying input conditions.
It features dual overcurrent protection: cycle-by-cycle high-side forward current limiting (7.8A typical) and low-side reverse current limiting (−3.3A), plus input/output overvoltage detection and thermal shutdown at 165°C. The 0.8V ±1% feedback reference enables precise output regulation from 0.8V to VIN minus losses.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5V to 18V - supports multi-cell Li-ion batteries and standard 5V/12V rails without external pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | 5A continuous - sufficient for FPGA core rails, SoC I/O supplies, and embedded processor power domains. |
| Switching Frequency | Fixed 500kHz, synchronizable 300kHz–2MHz - balances efficiency, size, and EMI in compact layouts. |
| Feedback Reference | 0.800V ±1% - enables accurate output setting down to sub-1V with minimal resistor divider error. |
| High-Side RDS(on) | 57mΩ typical at 100mA - reduces conduction loss and improves full-load efficiency above 90%. |
| Soft-Start Time | Fixed 2.3ms - limits inrush current during startup without requiring external capacitor. |
| Protection Features | Input UVLO (4.35V rising), input/output OVP, thermal shutdown (165°C), high-side OCP (7.8A), low-side reverse OCP (−3.3A) - ensures robust operation in unregulated environments. |
Pinout & Package
ISL85005FRZ-T7A uses a 12-pin 3mm × 4mm Dual Flat No-Lead (DFN) package with exposed thermal pad (EPAD) for enhanced heat dissipation in high-power-density applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (SYNC/MODE) | Synchronization and mode selection | Connect to VDD for FCCM, AGND for DEM, or external clock (300kHz–2MHz) - enables dynamic efficiency optimization and system-level timing coordination. |
| 2 (PG) | Power-good open-drain output | Asserts high after 1.5ms when output reaches 85% of regulation - used for sequencing and fault monitoring in multi-rail systems. |
| 3 (EN) | Enable input | Active-high enable with 0.6V threshold and 100mV hysteresis - supports clean power-up/down control and standby management. |
| 4 (FB) | Feedback input | Negative input to error amplifier; sets output voltage via resistor divider - precision 0.8V reference ensures stable regulation across temperature. |
| 5 (COMP) | Compensation node | Connect to AGND for internal compensation or add RC network between COMP and FB for custom loop tuning - simplifies design while supporting demanding transient response. |
| 6 (AGND) | Analog ground | Return path for internal analog circuitry; internally connected to PGND - must tie to low-noise ground plane to avoid noise coupling into control loop. |
| 7,8 (PHASE) | Switch node | Drives external output inductor; connects to source of low-side FET and drain of high-side FET - critical for minimizing switching loop inductance and EMI. |
| 9,10 (VIN) | Main power input | Supplies high-side driver and internal LDO; requires local ceramic decoupling to PGND - handles up to 18V input with robust UVLO and OVP protection. |
| 11 (VDD) | Internal LDO output | 5V regulated supply for internal logic and drivers; connect 1µF capacitor to ground - improves efficiency when VIN > 5.5V and enables direct connection if VIN = 3–5.5V. |
| 12 (BOOT) | Bootstrap supply | Floating gate drive supply for high-side MOSFET; requires 0.1µF capacitor to PHASE - integrated bootstrap diode eliminates external diode requirement. |
| (EPAD) PGND | Power ground / thermal pad | Source of low-side MOSFET and primary thermal path; connect to PCB ground plane with multiple vias - essential for maintaining junction temperature below 125°C at 5A load. |

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-T7A | Fixed 500kHz frequency; programmable soft-start via SS pin (3.5µA charging current); no SYNC capability. | Preferred where soft-start time must be extended beyond 2.3ms (e.g., large output capacitance >200µF) and synchronization is unnecessary. | Select ISL85005AFRZ-T7A only if adjustable soft-start is required and system clock sync is not needed. |
| MP2451DT-LF-Z | 3A rated; 2MHz max frequency; no DEM mode; 0.8V reference; smaller 8-pin SOIC package. | Suitable for lower-current applications (<3A) where board area is constrained and light-load efficiency is secondary. | Choose MP2451DT-LF-Z only for cost-sensitive, space-limited designs with ≤3A load and no DEM requirement. |
Compared with ISL85005FRZ-T7A, ISL85005AFRZ-T7A trades synchronization flexibility for programmable soft-start, while MP2451DT-LF-Z offers higher switching frequency and smaller footprint at the expense of current rating and light-load efficiency modes.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the ISL85005FRZ-T7A?
The ISL85005FRZ-T7A has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of +24V on VIN, PHASE, and related pins. However, its recommended operating input voltage range is strictly 4.5V to 18V per datasheet specifications. Operation above 18V may trigger input overvoltage protection at 19–20V and is not supported for continuous use. Always maintain VIN within 4.5V–18V for reliable ISL85005FRZ-T7A operation.
Does the ISL85005FRZ-T7A support Diode Emulation Mode (DEM)?
Yes, the ISL85005FRZ-T7A supports Diode Emulation Mode (DEM) via the SYNC/MODE pin. When this pin is pulled to AGND, the device enters DEM, which discontinues low-side FET conduction during light-load conditions to improve efficiency. This feature is confirmed in the ISL85005FRZ-T7A datasheet (FN8871 Rev.2.00, Page 1) and distinguishes it from the ISL85005A variant, which operates only in Forced CCM.
What is the default soft-start time of the ISL85005FRZ-T7A?
The ISL85005FRZ-T7A has a fixed 2.3ms soft-start time, as specified in the datasheet's Electrical Specifications table (Page 8). Unlike the ISL85005A variant, it does not support programmable soft-start - the timing is internally set and requires no external capacitor. This value is guaranteed across −40°C to +125°C junction temperature.
Can the ISL85005FRZ-T7A be synchronized to an external clock?
Yes, the ISL85005FRZ-T7A supports external clock synchronization through its SYNC/MODE pin. It accepts external clock signals from 300kHz to 2MHz with positive-edge triggering, as documented in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Specifications sections (Pages 7–8). This capability enables EMI reduction and timing coordination in multi-converter systems.
What package type and thermal characteristics does the ISL85005FRZ-T7A use?
The ISL85005FRZ-T7A uses a 12-pin 3mm × 4mm Dual Flat No-Lead (DFN) package with exposed thermal pad (EPAD), per Package Outline Drawing (Page 22) and Ordering Information (Page 5). Its thermal resistance is θJA = 41°C/W and θJC = 3°C/W, enabling efficient heat transfer to the PCB ground plane when properly mounted with multiple thermal vias under the EPAD.
