Product details
Overview
ISL85402IRZ from Renesas (formerly Intersil) is a synchronous buck controller with integrated 125mΩ high-side MOSFET and low-side gate driver, supporting buck, non-synchronous buck, and two-stage boost-buck topologies. It delivers 2.5A continuous output at 5V with 8–36V input, operates from –40°C to +105°C, and features ±1% voltage regulation accuracy for embedded power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the ISL85402IRZ datasheet, ISL85402IRZ pinout, ISL85402IRZ application, or ISL85402IRZ equivalent, key selection criteria include its programmable 200kHz–2.2MHz switching frequency, PFM mode quiescent current as low as 180µA (with AUXVCC tied to VOUT), hiccup-mode overcurrent protection, and flexible topology support across industrial, battery-powered, and point-of-load systems.
Technical Context
The ISL85402IRZ implements peak current mode control with cycle-by-cycle current limiting and frequency foldback under overload, plus hiccup-mode recovery for sustained short-circuit conditions. Its dual LDO architecture-main bias LDO (VIN-fed) and auxiliary LDO (AUXVCC-fed)-enables automatic switchover to reduce power loss during steady-state operation.
Topology flexibility is achieved via configurable MODE, EXT_BOOST, and LGATE pins: MODE selects forced PWM or PFM; EXT_BOOST enables boost-buck operation by detecting input voltage thresholds; LGATE drives external low-side MOSFETs in synchronous buck or boost stages, or is disabled for diode-based non-synchronous buck.

| PGND (14) | Power ground return | Return path for high-current switching paths (PHASE, LGATE, BOOT); requires low-impedance connection to large ground plane |
| BOOT (15) | High-side gate driver bootstrap supply | Internal boot circuit generates gate drive voltage; 1µF ceramic cap required between BOOT and PHASE |

| AUXVCC (20) | Auxiliary LDO input / boost OVP sense | In buck mode: accepts VOUT to enable LDO switchover (reducing dropout loss); in boost mode: senses boost output for OVP |
| PAD (21) | Thermal pad | Electrically isolated; must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal conduction (θJC = 3.5°C/W) |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current of the ISL85402IRZ?
The ISL85402IRZ delivers 2.5A continuous output current under defined conditions: 5V VOUT, 8–36V VIN, 500kHz switching frequency, and +105°C ambient temperature with still air. Actual maximum current depends on thermal design, board layout, and ambient conditions-die temperature must not exceed +125°C. Derating is required at higher ambient temperatures or lower airflow.
Can the ISL85402IRZ operate in boost-buck topology, and what is required to enable it?
Yes, the ISL85402IRZ supports boost-buck operation. Enable it by applying a voltage >200mV to the EXT_BOOST pin after VCC power-on reset. In this mode, the low-side driver (LGATE) controls the boost switch, while the high-side MOSFET regulates the buck stage. A resistor divider on EXT_BOOST sets boost input UV/OV thresholds, and PFM is disabled during boost PWM activity.
How does the AUXVCC switchover function improve efficiency in the ISL85402IRZ?
The ISL85402IRZ's AUXVCC switchover reduces bias power loss by switching from the main VIN-fed LDO to an auxiliary LDO powered by the regulated output voltage (e.g., VOUT). When AUXVCC rises above 3.1V, the IC disables the main LDO-lowering dropout voltage and internal power dissipation. This improves light-load efficiency, especially at high VIN, and is active only in buck (not boost) mode.
What protection features does the ISL85402IRZ include, and how do they operate?
The ISL85402IRZ integrates cycle-by-cycle current limiting with frequency foldback, hiccup-mode overcurrent protection (triggered at 115% of programmed limit), overvoltage protection (latching at 120% of reference, non-latching at 110%), overtemperature shutdown at +155°C, and power-good monitoring with 2ms delay. All protections are hardware-based and require no external components.
Is the ISL85402IRZ pin-compatible with any newer Renesas parts for design upgrades?
Yes, the ISL85402IRZ is pin-compatible with the ISL85403IRZ, which offers identical 20-lead 4×4 QFN packaging, same pinout, and full functional compatibility-including all modes, protections, and interface signals. The ISL85403IRZ increases continuous output current to 4A and improves thermal resistance, making it a drop-in upgrade for higher-power applications.
