Product details
Overview
ISL9104IRUDZ-T7A from Renesas Electronics (formerly Intersil) is a 500mA, 4.3MHz synchronous buck DC-DC converter optimized for low-voltage microprocessor power in space-constrained portable devices. It delivers 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 integrated P/N-channel MOSFETs. It powers core logic in WCDMA handsets and MP3 players.
For engineers reviewing the ISL9104IRUDZ-T7A datasheet, ISL9104IRUDZ-T7A pinout, ISL9104IRUDZ-T7A application, or ISL9104IRUDZ-T7A equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.0V fixed output, 4.3MHz switching frequency enabling µH-scale inductors, ultralow light-load IQ, internal soft-start, and thermal/overcurrent protection - all in a 1.6×1.6mm µTDFN package.
Technical Context
The ISL9104IRUDZ-T7A employs peak-current-mode PWM control with slope compensation for fast transient response and cycle-by-cycle current limiting. Its architecture integrates a 0.8V bandgap reference, transconductance error amplifier, and zero-crossing detection circuit to enable automatic transition between fixed-frequency PWM (heavy load) and pulse-skipping PFM (light load).
It implements 100% duty-cycle low-dropout operation using an internal P-channel high-side switch, with ON-resistance of 0.45Ω (typ) at VIN = 3.6V. The device includes dedicated internal bleeding FET (100Ω ON-resistance) to discharge the output capacitor during shutdown, and uses digital soft-start with ~1ms ramp time to limit inrush current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.0V ±3% over line/load/temperature - ensures stable core supply for 2.0V I/O or logic rails without external feedback resistors. |
| Max Output Current | 500mA guaranteed minimum - supports moderate-power microcontrollers and baseband processors in handheld devices. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 6.0V - compatible with single Li+ cell (2.7–4.2V), three NiMH cells (~3.6V), or regulated 5V rail. |
| Switching Frequency | 4.3MHz (3.6–4.9MHz range) - enables use of 1.0µH inductors and 4.7µF 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 | 0.05µA typical - reduces system leakage when powered off, critical for long-term storage or sleep modes. |
| Duty Cycle | 100% maximum - supports ultra-low dropout (<300mV at 500mA), extending usable battery voltage down to VOUT + dropout. |
Pinout & Package
ISL9104IRUDZ-T7A is housed in a Pb-free, RoHS-compliant 6-pin 1.6mm × 1.6mm µTDFN package with exposed thermal pad (package drawing L6.1.6x1.6). Pin 3 is NC (no connect); all other pins are electrically active and require proper routing per layout guidelines.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 1) | Power input | Accepts 2.7–6.0V supply; requires local 4.7µF ceramic decoupling capacitor to minimize high-frequency noise injection. |
| EN (Pin 2) | Enable control | Logic-high (>1.4V) enables regulation and soft-start; logic-low (<0.4V) disables converter and activates internal output capacitor bleed path. |
| NC (Pin 3) | No connect | Internally unconnected; must be left floating - no external connection or pull-up/down required. |
| FB (Pin 4) | Feedback sense | Internally tied to 2.0V output for fixed-version operation; not user-accessible - eliminates external resistor divider and associated accuracy drift. |
| GND (Pin 5) | Ground reference | Primary return path for power and signal; must be connected to solid ground plane adjacent to VIN and SW pins for EMI control. |
| SW (Pin 6) | Switch node | Connects to inductor high-side terminal; carries high di/dt switching current - requires short, wide trace and careful isolation from noise-sensitive nodes. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated synchronous rectification | P- and N-channel MOSFETs with 0.45Ω/0.40Ω (typ) ON-resistance reduce conduction loss and eliminate external diode, improving full-load efficiency up to 93%. |
| Ultralow quiescent current | 20µA typical in skip mode - extends battery life in always-on or intermittent-use applications such as mobile audio playback. |
| Digital soft-start | ~1ms controlled output ramp - prevents inrush current into downstream capacitance, avoiding input rail collapse during power-up. |
| Active output discharge | Internal bleeding FET discharges output capacitor when EN is low - ensures rapid, predictable VOUT decay for safe sequencing in multi-rail systems. |
| Comprehensive protection | Peak current limiting, thermal shutdown (130°C trip, 30°C hysteresis), undervoltage lockout (2.5V threshold), and short-circuit protection prevent fault-induced damage. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Texas Instruments TPS62231DRYR | Fixed 2.0V output, 4.5MHz switching, 300mA rated, 17µA IQ in PFM mode, 1.5mm × 1.5mm DSBGA package. | Limited to 300mA max output - insufficient for 500mA peak loads in WCDMA baseband or PDA processors. | Select only if load current remains ≤300mA and board space allows DSBGA rework; verify thermal performance at 300mA in target enclosure. |
| Analog Devices ADP2119ACPZ-R7 | Adjustable 0.8–3.3V output, 3MHz switching, 600mA rated, 25µA IQ in PFM, 2mm × 2mm LFCSP package. | Requires external FB resistors for 2.0V setting; lacks integrated output discharge; larger footprint increases PCB area by 56%. | Choose when adjustable output or higher current headroom is needed, but accept added BOM cost, layout complexity, and reduced integration. |
Compared with ISL9104IRUDZ-T7A, the TPS62231DRYR offers slightly lower IQ but insufficient current capability, while the ADP2119ACPZ-R7 provides higher current and flexibility at the cost of external components, larger size, and missing active discharge - making ISL9104IRUDZ-T7A optimal for space- and battery-life-constrained 2.0V/500mA applications.

FAQ
What is the output voltage of the ISL9104IRUDZ-T7A?
The ISL9104IRUDZ-T7A is a fixed-output buck converter delivering 2.0V ±3% over line, load, and temperature. This value is factory-trimmed and internally set - no external feedback resistors are required or supported. The FB pin is internally connected to the output, confirming its role as a dedicated 2.0V regulator variant within the ISL9104 family.
Does the ISL9104IRUDZ-T7A support automatic PFM/PWM mode switching?
Yes, the ISL9104IRUDZ-T7A automatically transitions between fixed-frequency PWM mode (under heavy load) and pulse-skipping PFM mode (under light load) without external control. This behavior is implemented via internal zero-crossing detection and a 16-cycle counter, enabling 20µA typical quiescent current in skip mode while maintaining regulation accuracy and transient response.
What protection features does the ISL9104IRUDZ-T7A include?
The ISL9104IRUDZ-T7A integrates overcurrent protection (OCP) via peak-current limiting, thermal shutdown at 130°C (30°C hysteresis), undervoltage lockout (UVLO) at 2.5V, and short-circuit protection (SCP) that reduces oscillator frequency during output faults. It also features internal digital soft-start and active output capacitor discharge upon disable via the EN pin.
Can the ISL9104IRUDZ-T7A operate with a single Li+ cell input?
Yes, the ISL9104IRUDZ-T7A operates from 2.7V to 6.0V, fully supporting single Li+ battery input (nominal 3.7V, discharged to 2.7V). Its 100% duty-cycle capability ensures regulation down to VIN = VOUT + dropout (~2.3V minimum), maximizing usable battery capacity. Efficiency exceeds 90% at 200mA with VIN = 3.6V and VOUT = 2.0V.
What is the package type and thermal performance of the ISL9104IRUDZ-T7A?
The ISL9104IRUDZ-T7A uses a 6-pin 1.6mm × 1.6mm µTDFN package (drawing L6.1.6x1.6) with exposed thermal pad. Its typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) is 160°C/W on a standard test board. For sustained 500mA operation, thermal design must ensure ambient temperature stays ≤+85°C and PCB copper area under the thermal pad is maximized per layout guidelines.
