Product details
Overview
ISL9016IRUBBZ-T from Intersil is a dual low-dropout linear regulator IC delivering two independent 150mA LDO outputs with fixed 1.5V/1.5V output voltages, ultra-low quiescent current (49µA single-channel, 80µA dual-channel), 80dB PSRR at 1kHz, and stable operation with 1µF–4.7µF ceramic output capacitors - used in battery-powered portable electronics requiring clean, sequenced power rails.
For engineers reviewing the ISL9016IRUBBZ-T datasheet, ISL9016IRUBBZ-T pinout, ISL9016IRUBBZ-T application, or ISL9016IRUBBZ-T equivalent, key selection criteria include dual independent enable control, reverse current protection, ±0.8% output accuracy over –40°C to +85°C, low-noise 25µVRMS output, and µTDFN-6 package compatibility with space-constrained handheld designs.
Technical Context
The ISL9016IRUBBZ-T integrates two fully independent LDO regulators sharing only VIN and GND, each with dedicated ENx input, soft-start ramp control (30–60 µs/V), and autonomous thermal shutdown (145°C trip, 110°C recovery). Its bandgap reference and error amplifier architecture enables fast load transient response (<100mV deviation under 150mA step) without external compensation.
It employs reverse current protection that limits VOUT-to-VIN leakage to <8µA when VIN = 0V and VOUT = 5.5V, and features undervoltage lockout (UVLO+ = 1.775V typ) to prevent erratic startup. The device operates across 1.8V–6.5V input while maintaining dropout as low as 120mV at 150mA for VO ≥ 2.8V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 1.5V / 1.5V (fixed, matched dual rail for symmetric analog/digital core supply) |
| Max Output Current | 150mA per channel (supports dual-core microcontrollers or RF + baseband ICs) |
| Quiescent Current | 49µA (one LDO active) / 80µA (both active) - enables >1-year battery life in always-on sensors |
| PSRR | 80dB @ 1kHz, 45dB @ 1MHz - suppresses switching noise from adjacent DC/DC converters |
| Output Noise | 25µVRMS (10Hz–100kHz) - suitable for noise-sensitive ADCs, PLLs, and RF receivers |

Pinout & Package
ISL9016IRUBBZ-T is housed in a Pb-free, RoHS-compliant 1.6mm × 1.6mm × 0.5mm ultra-thin 6-lead µTDFN (UTDFN) package with exposed thermal pad (E-Pad) connected to GND. The package supports high-density PCB layouts and efficient thermal dissipation in thin-profile devices.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VIN | LDO input supply rail | Accepts 1.8V–6.5V; requires 1µF ceramic decoupling capacitor to GND for stability |
| 2 - GND | Power ground reference | Must connect directly to PCB ground plane; E-Pad also tied to GND for thermal and electrical integrity |
| 3 - EN2 | LDO2 enable input | Active-high logic; 100kΩ pull-up required; controls independent startup/shutdown of second 1.5V rail |
| 4 - EN1 | LDO1 enable input | Active-high logic; 100kΩ pull-up required; enables precise power sequencing for system partitioning |
| 5 - VOUT2 | LDO2 regulated output | Delivers fixed 1.5V @ up to 150mA; stable with 1µF–4.7µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor to GND |
| 6 - VOUT1 | LDO1 regulated output | Delivers fixed 1.5V @ up to 150mA; supports independent load transient response and reverse current isolation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent enable control | EN1 and EN2 allow staggered power-up/down of 1.5V rails - critical for FPGA I/O bank sequencing and processor core/sleep mode management |
| Reverse current protection | Blocks >99.9% backfeed from VOUT to VIN when input is grounded or floating - prevents battery drain and system latch-up in hot-swap scenarios |
| Soft-start ramp rate | 30–60 µs/V limits inrush current during enable - avoids input rail collapse and reduces stress on upstream DC/DC converter |
| Thermal shutdown hysteresis | 145°C trip / 110°C recovery with per-LDO disable - maintains partial system operation during localized overheating (e.g., one rail overloaded) |
| Stability with low-ESR ceramics | Works with 1µF–4.7µF X5R/X7R caps (ESR ≤ 200mΩ) - eliminates need for costly tantalum or polymer capacitors |
| Low-noise regulation | 25µVRMS output noise (10Hz–100kHz) - meets stringent noise floor requirements for 12-bit+ SAR ADCs and low-phase-noise clock buffers |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPL720F1515PDBVR | Fixed 1.5V/1.5V dual LDO; 200mA per channel; 50µA IQ; 65dB PSRR @ 1kHz; 0.8mm × 0.8mm DSBGA-6 package | Smaller footprint but lower PSRR and no reverse current protection; not rated for –40°C start-up | Select when board area is constrained and PSRR >70dB is not required; verify thermal performance in sealed enclosures. |
| MCP1826S-1501502D/DB | Adjustable dual LDO (requires external resistors); 300mA per channel; 120µA IQ; 70dB PSRR @ 1kHz; SOT-23-6 package | Larger SOT-23-6 footprint; adjustable outputs require BOM overhead; higher IQ increases standby drain | Choose when flexible output voltage tuning is needed across product variants; avoid if fixed 1.5V/1.5V and minimal IQ are mandatory. |
Compared with TPL720F1515PDBVR and MCP1826S-1501502D/DB, the ISL9016IRUBBZ-T uniquely combines matched 1.5V outputs, industry-leading 80dB PSRR, reverse current blocking, and sub-50µA single-rail IQ in a 1.6mm² µTDFN - making it optimal for noise-critical, battery-sensitive dual-rail systems where layout area and long-term reliability are prioritized over adjustability or minimal footprint.

FAQ
What is the output voltage configuration of the ISL9016IRUBBZ-T?
The ISL9016IRUBBZ-T is factory-configured with two identical fixed-output LDOs, each delivering 1.5V. This dual 1.5V configuration is confirmed in the Ordering Information table (Page 3) where "R6" marking corresponds to VO1 = 1.5V and VO2 = 1.5V. No external feedback resistors are required, simplifying design and reducing BOM count.
Does the ISL9016IRUBBZ-T support independent enable control for each LDO?
Yes, the ISL9016IRUBBZ-T provides fully independent enable inputs: EN1 controls LDO1 (VOUT1) and EN2 controls LDO2 (VOUT2). As specified in the Pin Descriptions (Page 2), both pins are active-high with defined VIH (≥1.1V) and VIL (≤0.4V) thresholds, and require external 100kΩ pull-up resistors. This allows precise power sequencing in multi-rail systems.
What is the minimum output capacitance required for stability with the ISL9016IRUBBZ-T?
The ISL9016IRUBBZ-T is stable with ceramic output capacitors ranging from 1µF to 4.7µF (X5R or X7R dielectric) and ESR up to 200mΩ, as stated on Page 1 and confirmed in the Electrical Specifications (Page 4). A 1µF capacitor is explicitly recommended for each VOUT pin, placed close to the device with direct GND connection to ensure optimal transient response and phase margin.
How does reverse current protection function in the ISL9016IRUBBZ-T?
The ISL9016IRUBBZ-T actively blocks reverse current flow from VOUT to VIN when VIN is at 0V and VOUT is held at 5.5V, limiting leakage to <8µA (typical) as measured per Note 7 on Page 5. This protection engages automatically when VOUT exceeds VIN, preventing battery discharge and system malfunction in hot-swap or backup-supply scenarios.
What thermal protection behavior does the ISL9016IRUBBZ-T exhibit during overload?
The ISL9016IRUBBZ-T features thermal shutdown with 145°C trip and 110°C recovery hysteresis (Page 4). Critically, it disables *only* the LDO(s) sourcing >50mA during overtemperature events (Page 9), allowing the other LDO to remain operational - preserving partial system functionality during localized thermal stress, unlike monolithic shutdown schemes.
