Product details
Overview
ISL91106IINZ-T from Renesas Electronics (formerly Intersil) is a highly integrated synchronous 4-switch buck-boost DC/DC regulator delivering up to 2A output current at 3.3V with 1.8V–5.5V input range, 45µA quiescent current, and 96% peak efficiency. It operates in smartphones and tablets where input voltage may dip below or rise above the regulated rail during battery discharge or USB charging.
For engineers reviewing the ISL91106IINZ-T datasheet, ISL91106IINZ-T pinout, ISL91106IINZ-T application, or ISL91106IINZ-T equivalent, key selection criteria include seamless buck-boost mode transition, bypass mode enablement for ultra-low-power sleep states, WLCSP package footprint constraints, and compatibility with single-inductor power architectures.
Technical Context
The ISL91106IINZ-T implements a fully synchronous 4-switch topology enabling continuous conduction mode operation across buck, boost, and buck-boost regions without output voltage glitching. Its control logic automatically selects the optimal switching configuration based on real-time VIN–VOUT differential.
It supports three operating modes via MODE1/MODE2 pins: forced PWM (EN+PWM), auto-mode (EN+Auto), and bypass (Bypass). Bypass mode disconnects switching circuitry and routes PVIN directly to VOUT through internal low-RDS(on) FETs, reducing quiescent current to 45µA while maintaining regulation.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the ISL91106IINZ-T?
The ISL91106IINZ-T delivers up to 2A of continuous output current when configured for 3.3V output with 2.8V input, as verified in the official datasheet Figure 2. This rating assumes proper thermal management using the WLCSP package's bottom thermal pad and recommended PCB copper area. The ISL91106IINZ-T integrates 3.8A-rated internal power switches to ensure safe operation under peak transient loads typical in mobile SoC applications.
Does the ISL91106IINZ-T support adjustable output voltage?
Yes, the ISL91106IINZ-T supports adjustable output voltage from 1.0V to 5.2V using an external resistor divider connected to the FB pin. When FB is left unconnected, the device defaults to its factory-trimmed fixed 3.3V output. This flexibility allows the ISL91106IINZ-T to serve multiple voltage domains within a single platform, such as I/O, memory, or peripheral rails, without requiring separate regulators.
How does bypass mode function in the ISL91106IINZ-T?
In bypass mode, the ISL91106IINZ-T disables all switching activity and connects PVIN directly to VOUT via low-RDS(on) internal FETs, reducing quiescent current to 45µA. This mode is activated by setting MODE1=0 and MODE2=1, and is intended for system sleep states where regulation must be maintained with minimal power draw. The ISL91106IINZ-T maintains output voltage accuracy within ±2% during bypass operation.
What package type and dimensions does the ISL91106IINZ-T use?
The ISL91106IINZ-T uses a 2.15mm × 1.51mm, 16-ball Wafer-Level Chip-Scale Package (WLCSP) with 0.4mm ball pitch and an exposed thermal pad on the bottom. This ultra-compact package enables placement directly beneath processors or in narrow bezel areas of smartphones and tablets. The ISL91106IINZ-T's WLCSP footprint measures just 3.25mm², making it among the smallest buck-boost regulators qualified for mobile applications.
Is the ISL91106IINZ-T still recommended for new designs?
No - the ISL91106IINZ-T is marked "NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NEW DESIGNS" in the official datasheet (FN8679 Rev 2.00, Page 2), with ISL91107IRZ-T listed as the recommended replacement part. While the ISL91106IINZ-T remains available for legacy production and repair, new designs should evaluate the ISL91107IRZ-T for enhanced current capability, improved efficiency, and continued long-term support from Renesas Electronics.
