Product details
Overview
ISL9103AIRUDZ-T from Intersil is a 500mA, 2.4MHz synchronous buck converter optimized for low-voltage microprocessors in space-constrained portable devices. It delivers a fixed 2.0V output from 2.7–6.0V input, features 20µA quiescent current in skip mode, 100% duty-cycle operation for <300mV dropout at 500mA, and integrates P- and N-channel MOSFETs with 0.45Ω/0.4Ω typical RDS(on). It powers WCDMA handsets and mobile phones requiring high light-load efficiency and ultrasonic switching noise suppression.
For engineers reviewing the ISL9103AIRUDZ-T datasheet, ISL9103AIRUDZ-T pinout, ISL9103AIRUDZ-T application, or ISL9103AIRUDZ-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.0V fixed output, 2.4MHz PWM frequency enabling compact 2.2µH inductors, ultrasonic skip mode (ISL9103A variant), 1.6×1.6mm UTDFN package, and integrated quick-output-discharge functionality during shutdown.
Technical Context
The ISL9103AIRUDZ-T employs peak-current-mode PWM control with internal slope compensation for fast transient response and pulse-by-pulse current limiting. Its voltage loop uses a precision 0.8V bandgap reference and transconductance error amplifier with internal RC compensation.
Under light load, it automatically enters ultrasonic skip mode (PFM) - triggered after 16 consecutive zero-crossing cycles at SW - reducing switching frequency while maintaining >100kHz operation to avoid audible noise. At heavy load, it reverts to fixed 2.4MHz PWM mode with typical 95% efficiency at 500mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.0V ±3% over line/load/temperature - ensures stable core voltage for 2.0V I/O or logic rails without external feedback resistors. |
| Max Output Current | 500mA guaranteed minimum - supports single-core microprocessors or baseband ICs in cellular handsets. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 6.0V - compatible with single Li⁺ cell (2.7–4.2V), three NiMH cells, or regulated 5V supply. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.4MHz nominal (1.9–2.75MHz) - enables use of tiny 2.2µH inductors and 10µF ceramic capacitors, minimizing PCB area to <0.5cm². |
| Quiescent Current | 20µA typical in skip mode - maximizes battery runtime in standby or low-activity states of portable equipment. |
| Shutdown Current | <1µA - ensures near-zero power drain when disabled, critical for long-term storage or deep-sleep modes. |
| Duty Cycle | 100% maximum - supports ultra-low dropout (<300mV at 500mA), extending usable battery life down to ~2.3V input. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 130°C threshold with 30°C hysteresis - provides robust protection during sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |
Pinout & Package
ISL9103AIRUDZ-T is housed in a RoHS-compliant 6-lead 1.6mm × 1.6mm Ultra-Thin Dual Flat No-Lead (UTDFN) package with exposed thermal pad. The package footprint occupies minimal board area and supports efficient thermal dissipation via PCB copper pour under the die pad.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 1) | Power input | Accepts 2.7–6.0V supply; requires local 10µF ceramic decoupling capacitor to minimize input ripple and high-frequency noise. |
| EN (Pin 2) | Enable control | Active-high logic input; asserts soft-start on rising edge and activates internal output discharge path on falling edge. |
| NC (Pin 3) | No-connect | Internally unconnected; must be left floating per datasheet - no external tie or pull-up/down required. |
| FB (Pin 4) | Feedback node | Internally tied to fixed 2.0V reference; not user-accessible in this variant - eliminates need for external resistor divider. |
| GND (Pin 5) | Power ground | Primary return path for input/output currents; must be connected to solid ground plane adjacent to VIN and SW pins. |
| SW (Pin 6) | Switching node | Connects to inductor's high-side terminal; carries high di/dt square wave - requires short, wide trace and careful EMI layout. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated P/N-MOSFETs | 0.45Ω P-ch / 0.4Ω N-ch RDS(on) at 3.6V - eliminates external power switches, reduces BOM count, and improves full-load efficiency. |
| Ultrasonic Skip Mode | Operates >100kHz in PFM - prevents audible coil whine in handheld audio-sensitive applications like MP3 players and WCDMA handsets. |
| Digital Soft-Start | 1.2ms controlled ramp - limits inrush current during power-up, preventing input rail collapse and system brownouts. |
| Output Discharge | Internal bleeding FET (100Ω typical) - actively discharges output capacitor when EN is low, ensuring safe, rapid power-down sequencing. |
| Protection Suite | Peak current limiting (0.95A typ), over-temperature shutdown (130°C), undervoltage lockout (2.5V), and short-circuit foldback - enables robust standalone operation without external supervision. |

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the ISL9103AIRUDZ-T over temperature and line conditions?
The ISL9103AIRUDZ-T provides a fixed 2.0V output with ±3% accuracy over the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and input voltage range (2.7V to 6.0V). This specification is guaranteed in production test and ensures stable regulation for sensitive 2.0V logic and I/O rails without external trimming components.
Does the ISL9103AIRUDZ-T support automatic transition between PWM and skip modes?
Yes, the ISL9103AIRUDZ-T automatically transitions between fixed-frequency 2.4MHz PWM mode (under heavy load) and ultrasonic skip mode (under light load) without external control. The transition is based on zero-crossing detection at the SW node over 16 consecutive cycles, ensuring seamless, transparent operation for the host system.
Can the ISL9103AIRUDZ-T operate with a single Li⁺ cell throughout its full discharge curve?
Yes, the ISL9103AIRUDZ-T supports input voltages from 2.7V to 6.0V and features 100% duty-cycle operation. When input drops below ~2.3V, it maintains 2.0V output with <300mV dropout at 500mA, enabling full utilization of a single Li⁺ cell from 4.2V down to 2.7V - and partial operation down to ~2.3V before UVLO triggers.
Is an external feedback resistor divider required for the ISL9103AIRUDZ-T?
No. The ISL9103AIRUDZ-T is the fixed 2.0V output variant; its FB pin is internally connected to the 0.8V reference and output divider, eliminating the need for external resistors. Pin 4 (FB) must be connected directly to the output node per the datasheet - no external components are permitted on this pin.
What protection features are integrated into the ISL9103AIRUDZ-T?
The ISL9103AIRUDZ-T integrates peak current limiting (0.95A typical), thermal shutdown (130°C with 30°C hysteresis), undervoltage lockout (2.5V rising threshold), short-circuit foldback, and logic-controlled output discharge. These functions operate autonomously without external circuitry, ensuring robust operation in unattended portable systems.
