Product details
Overview
ISL85402IRZ-T7A 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-T7A datasheet, ISL85402IRZ-T7A pinout, ISL85402IRZ-T7A application, or ISL85402IRZ-T7A 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 and battery-powered systems.
Technical Context
The ISL85402IRZ-T7A 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-referenced) and auxiliary LDO (AUXVCC-referenced)-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 mode when >200mV at startup; LGATE drives external low-side MOSFETs in synchronous buck or boost stages. The IC supports prebiased start-up and soft-start via external capacitor on SS pin charged by internal 5µA current source.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISL85403IRZ-T7A | Higher 4A continuous output rating; identical pinout, package, and feature set | Better suited for higher-current loads (>2.5A) without redesign; same footprint and control interface | Select ISL85403IRZ-T7A when output current demand exceeds 2.5A or future-proofing headroom is required |
| MP2451DT-LF-Z | 3A rated, 36V max input, but lacks boost-buck topology support and AUXVCC switchover | Lower BOM cost for basic buck-only designs; no EXT_BOOST or AUXVCC functionality | Choose MP2451DT-LF-Z only for cost-sensitive, single-topology applications where boost-buck and ultra-low IQ are not needed |
Compared with ISL85402IRZ-T7A, ISL85403IRZ-T7A offers higher current capacity in identical packaging, while MP2451DT-LF-Z provides simpler, lower-cost buck regulation without topology flexibility or advanced biasing-making ISL85402IRZ-T7A optimal for mixed-input-voltage, space-constrained, and efficiency-critical designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current of the ISL85402IRZ-T7A?
The ISL85402IRZ-T7A delivers 2.5A continuous output current under defined conditions: 5V output, 8–36V input, 500kHz switching, +105°C ambient, and still-air convection cooling. Actual current depends on thermal design, layout, and operating conditions-die temperature must remain ≤+125°C. The datasheet specifies this rating on page 1, and the current limit is programmable up to 4.2A via ILIMIT pin.
Does the ISL85402IRZ-T7A support boost-buck topology, and how is it configured?
Yes, the ISL85402IRZ-T7A supports boost-buck operation using its EXT_BOOST pin. At power-on reset, if EXT_BOOST voltage exceeds 200mV, the IC latches into boost mode and uses LGATE to drive an external boost switch. The boost stage feeds a second buck stage controlled by the same IC. Configuration requires a resistor divider on EXT_BOOST to set input UV/OV thresholds, as detailed in "Typical Application Schematic III" on page 5 of FN7640.
How does the AUXVCC switchover function improve efficiency in the ISL85402IRZ-T7A?
The ISL85402IRZ-T7A uses AUXVCC switchover to replace the main VIN-referenced LDO with a lower-dropout auxiliary LDO powered from the regulated output. When VOUT rises above ~3.1V, the IC switches biasing to AUXVCC, reducing internal LDO power loss-especially beneficial at high input voltages (e.g., 24V→3.3V). This improves light-load efficiency and lowers die temperature, as confirmed in Figure 10 and Functional Description section on page 13.
What protection features does the ISL85402IRZ-T7A include, and how do they operate?
The ISL85402IRZ-T7A integrates cycle-by-cycle current limiting with frequency foldback, hiccup-mode overcurrent (triggered at 115% of programmed limit), overvoltage protection (latching at 120% VREF), undervoltage lockout, and overtemperature shutdown (trip at +155°C, recover at +140°C). These protections are hardware-based and operate independently of external components-no firmware or external supervision required for safe operation under fault conditions.
Can the ISL85402IRZ-T7A start up into a prebiased output, and what design considerations apply?
Yes, the ISL85402IRZ-T7A supports prebiased start-up, allowing safe turn-on when the output capacitor is already charged. During prebias, the high-side MOSFET remains off until the soft-start ramp reaches the feedback reference, preventing reverse current flow or output collapse. Layout must minimize PHASE node parasitics, and the SS capacitor value should follow Equation 1 (page 13) to ensure proper ramp timing-verified in Figure 14 of the datasheet.
