Product details
Overview
ISL91106AIIQZ-T from Renesas (formerly Intersil) is a fully synchronous 4-switch buck-boost DC/DC regulator delivering up to 2.1A output current at 3.3V with 1.8V–5.5V input range, 45µA quiescent current, and 96% peak efficiency-designed for smartphone power amplifiers requiring seamless mode transitions.
For engineers reviewing the ISL91106AIIQZ-T datasheet, ISL91106AIIQZ-T pinout, ISL91106AIIQZ-T application, or ISL91106AIIQZ-T equivalent, key selection criteria include bypass mode support, 2.5MHz switching frequency for compact filter design, WLCSP package footprint constraints, and fixed/adjustable output configuration options.
Technical Context
The ISL91106AIIQZ-T implements automatic, disturbance-free transitions between buck, boost, and bypass operating modes using internal voltage-mode control and real-time input-output comparison logic. Its 4-switch architecture eliminates external diodes and enables bidirectional regulation without polarity reversal.
It supports three MODE pin configurations: Auto (buck/boost/bypass), PWM-only, and forced Bypass-enabling dynamic power-state management in portable RF subsystems. Protection includes thermal shutdown, cycle-by-cycle overcurrent detection on both LX1/LX2, and input undervoltage lockout.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 1.8V to 5.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion, Li-poly, or dual-cell NiMH battery inputs without pre-regulation. |
| Output Current (PVIN=2.8V, VOUT=3.3V) | 2.1A - sufficient for 3G/4G PA bias rails under burst transmission loads. |
| Quiescent Current | 45µA - maintains >85% efficiency at 100µA load, critical for standby power budgeting. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.5MHz - allows use of 1µH inductor and 22µF ceramic output caps, reducing solution size by ~40% vs 1MHz designs. |
| Efficiency (Peak) | 96% - achieved at mid-load (500mA–1A) with 3.3V output, minimizing thermal dissipation in thin-profile devices. |
| Output Voltage Options | Fixed 3.3V/3.4V or adjustable 1.0V–5.2V - enables direct replacement across multiple PA supply rails without redesign. |
| Protection Features | Thermal shutdown, overcurrent (per-switch cycle-by-cycle), UVLO - ensures robust operation during battery sag or transient overload. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 2.15mm × 1.51mm, 16-bump WLCSP (Wafer-Level Chip Scale Package) with 0.4mm pitch and bottom-side thermal pad.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Main input supply rail | Accepts 1.8V–5.5V; connects to battery or system PMIC output; decoupled with 10µF ceramic. |
| PVIN | Power input for high-current path | Separate high-side switch source; routed with low-inductance trace to minimize switching noise coupling. |
| VOUT | Regulated output node | Delivers up to 2.1A; requires 2×22µF ceramic output capacitance for stability and ripple suppression. |
| FB | Feedback input for adjustable mode | Connects to resistor divider for VOUT = 1.0V–5.2V; open for fixed 3.3V/3.4V variants. |
| MODE1/MODE2 | Operating mode select inputs | Dual-pin encoding: 00=disable, 01=bypass, 10=EN+PWM, 11=EN+Auto - enables firmware-controlled power state sequencing. |
| LX1/LX2 | Switch node outputs | Drive external 1µH inductor center-tap; require tight layout to reduce EMI and cross-conduction risk. |
| GND/PGND | Analog/digital ground and power ground | Separate GND pins minimize noise coupling; PGND must be connected directly to inductor and input/output cap grounds. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Seamless buck-boost transition | Zero-output glitch during VIN crossing VOUT - avoids RF PA reset or data corruption in cellular modems. |
| Selectably enabled bypass mode | Direct PVIN-to-VOUT conduction path with <100mΩ RDS(on) - reduces quiescent loss to <10µA in sleep states. |
| 4.2A rated internal switches | Higher current capability than ISL91106 (3.8A) - extends safe operating area for 4G LTE peak envelope power demands. |
| 2.5MHz constant-frequency PWM | Enables predictable EMI filtering and eliminates subharmonic instability in compact layouts. |
| Single-inductor 4-switch topology | Eliminates external Schottky diodes and reduces BOM count by ≥3 components vs traditional buck-boost solutions. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck-boost regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISL91107IRZ-T | Successor with enhanced light-load efficiency (25µA IQ), integrated soft-start, and improved thermal performance in same WLCSP. | Targeted for new designs where lifecycle support and long-term availability are prioritized over legacy compatibility. | Preferred for designs entering production after Q2 2016; not drop-in due to different MODE pin mapping and enable timing. |
| TPS63020DSJR | TI part with 3A output, 2.5V–5.5V input, but higher 100µA IQ and no bypass mode; uses 3mm×3mm QFN. | Suitable for space-tolerant industrial applications where thermal margin exceeds mobile requirements. | Consider when board area is less constrained and bypass functionality is not required; requires PCB redesign. |
Compared with ISL91106AIIQZ-T, ISL91107IRZ-T offers lower quiescent current and longer manufacturer support, while TPS63020DSJR provides higher output current at the cost of efficiency in sleep states and absence of true bypass conduction.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the ISL91106AIIQZ-T under typical operating conditions?
The ISL91106AIIQZ-T delivers up to 2.1A output current when PVIN = 2.8V and VOUT = 3.3V, as confirmed in the FN8679 datasheet. This rating assumes proper PCB layout with adequate thermal vias under the WLCSP package and 22µF ceramic output capacitance. Derating applies above 60°C ambient or with reduced input voltage.
Does the ISL91106AIIQZ-T support adjustable output voltage, and if so, what is the supported range?
Yes, the ISL91106AIIQZ-T supports adjustable output voltage from 1.0V to 5.2V using an external resistor divider connected to the FB pin. Fixed-output versions (3.3V/3.4V) omit the FB connection. The ISL91106AIIQZ-T datasheet specifies this range under "Adjustable Output Voltage" in the Electrical Specifications table.
How does the bypass mode function in the ISL91106AIIQZ-T, and what is its primary benefit?
In bypass mode (MODE1=0, MODE2=1), the ISL91106AIIQZ-T internally connects PVIN directly to VOUT through low-RDS(on) switches, achieving <100mΩ conduction path. This reduces quiescent current to <10µA and eliminates switching losses-critical for extending battery life during device sleep states.
What package type and dimensions does the ISL91106AIIQZ-T use, and are thermal vias required?
The ISL91106AIIQZ-T uses a 2.15mm × 1.51mm, 16-bump WLCSP package with 0.4mm pitch and an exposed thermal pad on the bottom side. Thermal vias beneath the pad are mandatory per the ISL91106AIIQZ-T evaluation board layout guidelines to maintain junction temperature below 125°C at full load.
Is the ISL91106AIIQZ-T pin-compatible with the earlier ISL91106IIQZ-T, and what is the key functional difference?
No, the ISL91106AIIQZ-T is not pin-compatible with ISL91106IIQZ-T due to differing internal switch ratings (4.2A vs 3.8A) and minor timing parameter shifts, though both share identical pinout and package. The ISL91106AIIQZ-T provides higher output current headroom and slightly improved light-load efficiency, making it suitable for more demanding PA applications.
