Product details
Overview
ISL85402IRZ-TK from Renesas Electronics (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 in buck mode, operates from –40°C to +105°C, and features ±1% output voltage regulation accuracy for embedded power supply applications.
For engineers reviewing the ISL85402IRZ-TK datasheet, ISL85402IRZ-TK pinout, ISL85402IRZ-TK application, or ISL85402IRZ-TK equivalent, key selection considerations include its programmable 200kHz–2.2MHz switching frequency, dual LDO architecture (MAIN/AUXVCC switchover), hiccup-mode overcurrent protection, and flexible PFM/PWM mode selection for light-load efficiency optimization.
Technical Context
The ISL85402IRZ-TK 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 system enables AUXVCC switchover to reduce internal power dissipation after startup - critical for high-input-voltage, light-load operation.
It supports three distinct operational topologies: synchronous buck (LGATE drives external low-side FET), non-synchronous buck (LGATE disabled via VCC tie), and boost-buck (EXT_BOOST pin configures boost pre-regulator stage enabling input as low as 2.5V). Mode selection is hardware-configurable via MODE and EXT_BOOST pins without firmware.

Pinout & Package
ISL85402IRZ-TK uses a 20-lead 4×4mm QFN package (Pb-free, RoHS-compliant) with bottom thermal pad (PAD, Pin 21) requiring direct connection to PCB ground plane for thermal management.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EN (1) | Enable control input | Active-high logic: IC enabled when floating or >2V; disabled when pulled <0.8V - supports system-level power sequencing |
| FS (2) | Oscillator frequency set | Resistor-to-GND sets frequency (200kHz–2.2MHz); open/VCC/GND forces 500kHz - enables precise EMI tuning |
| SS (3) | Soft-start ramp control | External capacitor charged by 5µA current source - controls startup dV/dt and prevents inrush; also used in hiccup recovery |
| FB (4) | Feedback error amplifier input | Inverting input referenced to 0.8V internal bandgap - sets output voltage via resistor divider; monitored for OVP/UVP |
| COMP (5) | Error amplifier output | Compensated loop signal driving PWM comparator - connects to FB via RC network for stability |
| ILIMIT (6) | Current limit threshold adjust | Resistor-to-GND programs cycle-by-cycle limit (default 3.6A); enables design-specific OCP tailoring |
| MODE (7) | PFM/PWM mode select | Pull to GND = forced PWM; float/VCC = PFM at <700mA peak inductor current - configurable boundary via resistor |
| PGOOD (8) | Power-good status flag | Open-drain output with 1000-cycle delay on power-up - signals valid regulation (90–110% of target) and faults |
| PHASE (9,10) | High-side MOSFET source node | Connects to inductor - carries full switching current; tied internally to source of integrated 125mΩ N-channel FET |
| EXT_BOOST (11) | Boost mode enable & monitoring | Detects >200mV at POR to latch into boost-buck mode; monitors boost output via resistor divider for OVP |
| SYNC (12) | Frequency synchronization input | Accepts external clock (10% higher than local freq); enables multi-phase interleaving with automatic 180° phase shift |
| LGATE (13) | Low-side gate driver output | Drives external N-FET in sync-buck; disabled in non-sync mode (tie to VCC pre-startup); drives boost switch in boost-buck |
| PGND (14) | Power ground return | High-current return path for drivers and PHASE - must connect to large copper pour to minimize noise and losses |
| BOOT (15) | High-side gate drive bias | Bootstrap node generating ~6V above PHASE - integrated charge pump eliminates need for external boot diode |
| VIN (16,17) | Main power input | Connects to drain of internal high-side MOSFET and MAIN LDO input - rated 3–36V; handles 44V abs max transient |
| SGND (18) | Analog/monitor ground | Quiet reference for FB, COMP, MODE, etc. - separate from PGND to avoid control-loop coupling |
| VCC (19) | Main LDO output | 4.5V ±0.3V regulated supply for internal circuitry - sourced from VIN or AUXVCC via switchover logic |
| AUXVCC (20) | Auxiliary LDO input / boost OVP sense | In buck mode: input for auxiliary LDO (3–20V); in boost mode: senses boost output via resistor divider for OVP |
| PAD (21) | Thermal pad | Non-electrical exposed copper - must be soldered to PCB ground plane for θJC = 3.5°C/W thermal performance |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current of the ISL85402IRZ-TK?
The ISL85402IRZ-TK delivers 2.5A continuous output current under defined conditions: 5V output, 8–36V input, 500kHz switching frequency, and +105°C ambient temperature with still air. Actual current depends on thermal design, board layout, and operating conditions - die temperature must not exceed +125°C. The datasheet specifies this rating on page 1.
Does the ISL85402IRZ-TK support boost-buck topology, and how is it configured?
Yes, the ISL85402IRZ-TK supports two-stage boost-buck operation. Configuration is hardware-based: at power-on reset, the IC samples EXT_BOOST pin voltage - if >200mV, it latches into boost-buck mode. In this mode, LGATE drives the boost switch synchronously with the buck high-side, and EXT_BOOST monitors boost output for overvoltage protection. Details are in Figure 5 and page 14 of the datasheet.
How does the AUXVCC switchover function improve efficiency in the ISL85402IRZ-TK?
The ISL85402IRZ-TK uses AUXVCC switchover to reduce internal power loss: after startup, when VOUT rises above 3.1V, the IC disables the MAIN LDO (biased from VIN) and activates the AUXILIARY LDO (biased from VOUT). Since VOUT < VIN, the LDO dropout voltage-and thus power dissipation-is significantly reduced, especially at high input voltages and light loads. This feature is active only in buck mode.
What overcurrent protection mechanisms does the ISL85402IRZ-TK implement?
The ISL85402IRZ-TK implements three-tier overcurrent protection: (1) cycle-by-cycle peak current limiting at default 3.6A (adjustable via ILIMIT pin), (2) frequency foldback during sustained overcurrent to reduce power dissipation, and (3) hiccup mode triggered at 115% of the primary limit - which forces a 5× extended soft-start cycle before retry. This ensures safe operation under short-circuit or overload conditions without thermal runaway.
Can the ISL85402IRZ-TK operate in forced PWM mode, and how is it enabled?
Yes, the ISL85402IRZ-TK supports forced PWM mode for consistent switching frequency and minimized output ripple. To enable it, pull the MODE pin (Pin 7) to GND. In this mode, the IC ignores load-dependent PFM transitions and maintains constant-frequency operation regardless of output current - ideal for noise-sensitive applications or when EMI filtering requires predictable harmonics.
