Product details
Overview
ISL9103AIRUJZ-T from Renesas (formerly Intersil) is a 500mA, 2.4MHz synchronous buck converter optimized for single Li+-cell-powered portable electronics. It delivers fixed 2.8V output with ±3% accuracy over temperature and line, operates from 2.7V–6.0V input, and achieves up to 95% efficiency at full load. Its 20µA quiescent current in skip mode extends battery life in mobile phones and WCDMA handsets.
For engineers reviewing the ISL9103AIRUJZ-T datasheet, ISL9103AIRUJZ-T pinout, ISL9103AIRUJZ-T application, or ISL9103AIRUJZ-T equivalent, key selection criteria include ultrasonic skip-mode operation (eliminating audible noise), 100% duty-cycle low-dropout capability (<300mV dropout at 500mA), integrated P/N-MOSFETs, and 1.6×1.6mm UTDFN package footprint.
Technical Context
The ISL9103AIRUJZ-T uses peak-current-mode PWM control with internal slope compensation for fast transient response and pulse-by-pulse current limiting. Its oscillator runs at 2.4MHz under heavy load and automatically transitions to ultrasonic skip mode (PFM) under light load-detected via 16-cycle zero-crossing sensing on the SW node.
It integrates a 0.8V bandgap reference, transconductance error amplifier with internal RC compensation, and dedicated protection blocks: undervoltage lockout (2.5V threshold), thermal shutdown (130°C), overcurrent (0.7–1.3A peak limit), and short-circuit detection via FB voltage monitoring. The EN pin enables power sequencing and triggers active output capacitor discharge.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 500mA guaranteed minimum-supports microprocessor core rails in compact handheld devices without external current boosting. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.4MHz typical-enables use of 2.2µH inductor and 10µF ceramic capacitors, reducing total solution size to <0.5cm². |
| Quiescent Current | 20µA in skip mode-maximizes battery runtime during standby or light-load states in always-on mobile applications. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 6.0V-compatible with single Li-ion (2.7–4.2V), three NiMH cells, or regulated 5V supplies. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.8V with ±3% accuracy over -40°C to +85°C-meets tight regulation requirements for RF front-end biasing and baseband ICs. |
| Duty Cycle | 100% maximum-ensures <300mV dropout at 500mA, extending usable battery range down to ~3.1V for 2.8V output. |
| Shutdown Current | <1µA logic-controlled-minimizes system leakage when disabled, critical for long-term storage or deep-sleep modes. |
Pinout & Package
ISL9103AIRUJZ-T is housed in a RoHS-compliant 6-lead Ultra Thin Dual Flat No-Lead (UTDFN) package measuring 1.6mm × 1.6mm × 0.5mm, with wettable flank terminations for automated optical inspection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 1) | Input supply connection | Accepts 2.7–6.0V; requires 10µF ceramic decoupling capacitor placed adjacent to pin for stable high-frequency operation. |
| EN (Pin 2) | Enable control input | Active-high logic interface; pulls internal discharge FET when low to rapidly bleed output capacitor-enables clean power sequencing. |
| NC (Pin 3) | No-connect terminal | Internally unconnected; must be left floating-no external tie or pull-up/down required. |
| FB (Pin 4) | Feedback reference node | Directly connected to 2.8V output (fixed version); senses 0.8V internal reference-no external resistor divider needed. |
| GND (Pin 5) | Power ground return | Primary ground reference for all internal circuits and switching node; must be tied to low-impedance PCB ground plane. |
| SW (Pin 6) | Switching node | Connects to inductor's high-side terminal; carries high di/dt square wave-requires short, wide trace to minimize EMI and voltage spikes. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultrasonic skip mode | Eliminates audible coil whine in mobile handsets by operating PFM above 20kHz-specific to ISL9103A variant (ISL9103AIRUJZ-T). |
| Integrated MOSFETs | P-Channel (0.45Ω typ) and N-Channel (0.4Ω typ) switches reduce BOM count and improve efficiency vs. external-FET solutions. |
| Internal digital soft-start | 1.2ms controlled ramp limits inrush current-prevents input rail collapse during power-up in battery-constrained systems. |
| Output capacitor discharge | Active bleeding FET discharges output within milliseconds of EN deactivation-ensures safe reset and prevents back-powering. |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | 130°C trip with 30°C hysteresis (100°C recovery)-protects against sustained overload while avoiding thermal cycling instability. |
Applications
| Mobile Phone Power Management | WCDMA Handset RF Biasing |

FAQ
What is the output voltage of the ISL9103AIRUJZ-T?
The ISL9103AIRUJZ-T provides a fixed 2.8V output voltage with ±3% accuracy over the full operating temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and input line variations. This is factory-trimmed and does not require external feedback resistors-simplifying design and improving stability compared to adjustable variants.
Does the ISL9103AIRUJZ-T support ultrasonic skip mode?
Yes, the ISL9103AIRUJZ-T is an ISL9103A-series device and includes ultrasonic skip mode (PFM), which operates above 20kHz to eliminate audible coil whine. This feature is explicitly enabled in the ISL9103A variant and confirmed in the ordering table for part marking J9.
What package type and dimensions does the ISL9103AIRUJZ-T use?
The ISL9103AIRUJZ-T uses a 6-lead Ultra Thin Dual Flat No-Lead (UTDFN) package with dimensions 1.6mm × 1.6mm × 0.5mm (thickness ±0.05mm). It features wettable flanks and complies with RoHS standards, supporting standard Pb-free reflow profiles per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020.
How does the ISL9103AIRUJZ-T handle output capacitor discharge?
The ISL9103AIRUJZ-T includes an internal N-channel bleeding MOSFET that actively discharges the output capacitor when the EN pin is driven low. This ensures rapid, controlled discharge-critical for safe power sequencing and preventing back-powering of upstream circuitry during shutdown.
What is the maximum guaranteed output current for the ISL9103AIRUJZ-T?
The ISL9103AIRUJZ-T guarantees a minimum output current of 500mA across the full operating temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and input voltage range (2.7V to 6.0V).
