Product details
Overview
ISL8510IRZ from Renesas (formerly Intersil) is a dual-output power management IC integrating a 1A synchronous buck PWM controller with internal N-channel MOSFET and a 500mA adjustable LDO regulator. It delivers regulated outputs from 0.6V to 20V (PWM) and 0.6V to 4.2V (LDO), operates across 5.5V–25V or fixed 5V input, and features independent enable, power-good, and protection circuits - used in FPGA core/logic supply and wireless chipset power rails.
For engineers reviewing the ISL8510IRZ datasheet, ISL8510IRZ pinout, ISL8510IRZ application, or ISL8510IRZ equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed thermal and electrical specifications, and real-world selection guidance for point-of-load DC/DC + LDO co-designs requiring compact dual-rail solutions.
Technical Context
The ISL8510IRZ implements voltage-mode PWM control with input voltage feed-forward for stable regulation across wide VIN ranges, and uses an internal 500kHz oscillator to drive the integrated 350mΩ (typ) N-channel MOSFET. Its dual-regulator architecture separates buck and LDO control paths, each with dedicated EN, PGOOD, and fault monitoring - enabling independent sequencing and rail-specific fault isolation.
Thermal protection triggers at +150°C with 15°C hysteresis, while overcurrent detection on the PWM stage uses rDS(ON) sensing with 2.7A (typ) trip threshold and 150ns blanking. The LDO employs internal PMOS pass devices with 300mV (max) dropout at 450mA and ±1.5% FB accuracy, with no overvoltage protection but latch-off under undervoltage conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| PWM Output Current | 1A continuous - supports FPGA I/O banks or baseband processors without external current boosting. |
| LDO Output Current | 500mA max - sufficient for RF transceiver bias or low-noise analog circuitry with <300mV dropout. |
| Switching Frequency | Fixed 500kHz - enables compact 10µH inductors and reduces EMI filtering complexity vs lower-frequency alternatives. |
| Input Voltage Range | 5.5V–25V (variable) or 4.5V–5.5V (fixed 5V) - compatible with 12V industrial rails or USB-powered systems. |
| Reference Voltage | 0.6V ±1.5% - sets precise output thresholds via resistor divider; enables sub-1V core voltages for modern SoCs. |
| Thermal Shutdown | +150°C junction with 15°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor PCB heatsinking. |
| Package | 24-pin 4mm×4mm QFN - exposes thermal pad for direct GND soldering; θJA = 36°C/W enables >1W dissipation in standard layouts. |
Pinout & Package
ISL8510IRZ is housed in a thermally enhanced 24-lead 4mm×4mm Quad Flat No-Lead (QFN) package with exposed thermal pad. The pad must be soldered to a solid GND plane for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EN | PWM controller enable input | Logic-high (>1.7V) initiates soft-start; pull-to-GND disables PWM output and reduces quiescent current to 100µA. |
| EN_LDO | LDO regulator enable input | Independent logic-level control; latches off if voltage drops below 1.2V (rising edge threshold). |
| FB_PWM | PWM feedback node | Connects to resistor divider; error amplifier compares this to 0.6V reference to regulate output voltage. |
| FB_LDO | LDO feedback node | Sets LDO output via external divider; supports 0.6V–4.2V range with ±1.5% accuracy over temperature. |
| PG_PWM / PG_LDO | Open-drain power-good indicators | Active-low signals pulled low during soft-start, undervoltage (<84% nominal), or fault; require 100kΩ pull-up to VCC. |
| VIN / PVCC | Main input and power-stage supply | VIN powers internal LDO (→ VCC); PVCC connects directly to VCC and supplies gate driver - decouple with ≥1µF ceramic. |
| PHASE / BOOT | Switch node and bootstrap supply | PHASE connects to inductor/diode; BOOT requires capacitor to PHASE to sustain high-side MOSFET gate drive. |
| VOUT / VIN_LDO | LDO output and input pins | VOUT delivers regulated LDO output; VIN_LDO accepts 1.8V–4.6V input - must exceed VOUT by ≥300mV for regulation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated buck switch + boot diode | Eliminates external high-side driver and discrete bootstrap diode - reduces BOM count and layout area by ≥3 components. |
| Independent dual PGOOD outputs | Enables system-level power sequencing verification: PG_PWM confirms buck regulation; PG_LDO validates LDO stability separately. |
| Externally adjustable soft-start | SS pin accepts capacitor (e.g., 100nF → ~2ms ramp); prevents inrush current into downstream capacitors and avoids brownout. |
| Voltage-mode control with feed-forward | Rejects input ripple without complex compensation - simplifies loop design using single-pole RC network on COMP/FB_PWM. |
| Dual independent enable inputs | EN and EN_LDO allow staggered startup (e.g., LDO first for bias, then buck for core) or independent shutdown for power gating. |
Applications
| FPGA Core & I/O Power | Wireless Baseband Supply |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-output power management applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS65270PWP | Two independent 2A buck controllers (no LDO); requires external LDO for second rail; 2.2MHz switching. | Better suited for high-current, space-constrained apps where both rails demand >1A; lacks integrated LDO simplicity. | Choose TPS65270PWP when both rails require >1A and board area allows discrete LDO addition. |
| MAX16922ATP+ | Automotive-grade dual buck (1.5A + 0.5A); includes watchdog, reset, and AEC-Q100 qualification; no integrated LDO. | Designed for automotive infotainment; adds functional safety features not present in ISL8510IRZ. | Choose MAX16922ATP+ only for automotive environments requiring AEC-Q100 compliance and system monitoring. |
Compared with TPS65270PWP and MAX16922ATP+, the ISL8510IRZ uniquely integrates a buck controller with an LDO in one QFN package - offering lowest component count for mixed-signal systems needing one switched and one linear rail, without automotive or ultra-high-current requirements.

FAQ
What input voltage ranges does the ISL8510IRZ support?
The ISL8510IRZ supports two distinct input configurations: a variable range of 5.5V to 25V applied to VIN only (with internal 5V LDO powering VCC), or a fixed 5V ±10% supply connected to both VIN and VCC pins. Operation outside these ranges risks damage or loss of regulation - absolute maximum VIN is +26V, and VIN_LDO must stay within 1.8V–4.6V.
How does the ISL8510IRZ handle overcurrent conditions on the PWM output?
The ISL8510IRZ monitors overcurrent via rDS(ON) sensing of its internal N-channel MOSFET, with a typical trip threshold of 2.7A and 150ns blanking time to ignore switching spikes. Upon detection, it latches off the PWM output and pulls PG_PWM low until a full restart cycle - including EN re-assertion and soft-start - clears the fault condition.
Can the ISL8510IRZ generate a 1.0V output from a 12V input?
Yes - the ISL8510IRZ PWM output is adjustable from 0.6V to 20V using an external resistor divider on FB_PWM. For 1.0V output, use R1 = 10kΩ and R2 ≈ 6.7kΩ (per VOUT = 0.6V × (1 + R1/R2)). Ensure minimum 1mA divider current and verify thermal performance: at 12V→1V/1A, efficiency is ~75%, requiring adequate PCB copper for heat dissipation.
What is the purpose of the CC pin on the ISL8510IRZ?
The CC pin on the ISL8510IRZ is the compensation capacitor connection for the LDO regulator. A 0.033µF capacitor must be placed between CC and GND to stabilize the LDO control loop and prevent oscillation - omitting or undersizing this capacitor causes output instability and excessive ripple under load.
Does the ISL8510IRZ provide overvoltage protection on either output?
No - the ISL8510IRZ includes overcurrent, thermal, and undervoltage protection on both the PWM and LDO outputs, but it has no overvoltage protection circuitry. If output voltage exceeds safe levels due to feedback resistor failure or external fault, the device cannot clamp or shut down to prevent damage to downstream components.
