Product details
Overview
ISL91106IIQ-EVZ from Renesas (formerly Intersil) is a high-efficiency, 2A synchronous buck-boost DC/DC regulator with automatic mode transition, 1.8V–5.5V input range, 3.3V fixed output, and selectable bypass mode for ultra-low-power states. It uses a 4-switch architecture and operates at 2.5MHz to minimize external component count in space-constrained mobile power rails.
For engineers reviewing the ISL91106IIQ-EVZ datasheet, ISL91106IIQ-EVZ pinout, ISL91106IIQ-EVZ application, or ISL91106IIQ-EVZ equivalent, key selection criteria include its seamless buck/boost transition behavior, 45µA no-load quiescent current, WLCSP package footprint, and support for sleep-mode bypass operation in battery-powered portable systems.
Technical Context
The ISL91106IIQ-EVZ implements a fully synchronous 4-switch buck-boost topology that dynamically selects between buck, boost, and pass-through modes based on real-time VIN–VOUT relationship-without output voltage glitch or control-loop interruption. Its MODE1/MODE2 logic inputs configure bypass, forced PWM, or auto-mode operation.
It integrates overtemperature, overcurrent, and undervoltage protection circuits, and supports fixed 3.3V output without external feedback resistors. The device is optimized for single-inductor, low-PCB-area solutions where input voltage may dip below or rise above regulated output during battery discharge or USB-C PD negotiation.

| LX1 / LX2 | Switch node connections | Drive external 1µH inductor center-tap; require low-ESR ceramic routing and tight loop area |
| GND / PGND | Analog and power ground returns | Separate AGND and PGND pins reduce noise coupling into feedback and enable clean switching node return paths |
| EN | Enable control input | Active-high logic input; must be ≥1.2V to enable regulation; ties to VIN via 100kΩ pull-up in typical applications |

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 | Higher 3A output capability; improved light-load efficiency (25µA IQ); supports 1.2V–5.5V input and 0.8V–5.2V adjustable output | Targeted for next-gen smartphones requiring higher current headroom and wider output flexibility | Preferred for new designs needing >2A or programmable output; not pin-compatible with ISL91106IIQ-EVZ |

FAQ
What is the primary function of the ISL91106IIQ-EVZ in a power management system?
The ISL91106IIQ-EVZ serves as a high-efficiency, single-inductor buck-boost DC/DC regulator delivering a fixed 3.3V output from an input range of 1.8V to 5.5V. Its core function is to maintain stable rail voltage during battery discharge or USB-C PD negotiation-without requiring external sequencing or hold-up capacitance-by automatically transitioning between buck, boost, and bypass modes. This ensures uninterrupted operation of critical subsystems like modems and sensors in portable electronics.
Does the ISL91106IIQ-EVZ support adjustable output voltages, or is it fixed at 3.3V only?
The ISL91106IIQ-EVZ supports both configurations: it defaults to a fixed 3.3V output when the FB pin is grounded internally, eliminating external resistors. However, it can also operate in adjustable mode by connecting an external resistor divider to the FB pin-enabling output voltages from 1.0V to 5.2V. The ISL91106IIQ-EVZ datasheet specifies that the FB pin voltage is regulated to 0.6V, allowing precise scaling using standard resistor values per the feedback equation VOUT = 0.6V × (1 + R1/R2).
How does the bypass mode in the ISL91106IIQ-EVZ reduce system power consumption?
In bypass mode, the ISL91106IIQ-EVZ disables its switching regulators and activates an internal low-resistance FET path from PVIN to VOUT, achieving near-direct conduction with <100mΩ on-resistance. This reduces quiescent current to under 1µA-compared to 45µA in normal operation-while maintaining regulated output voltage. The ISL91106IIQ-EVZ enters this state when MODE1=0 and MODE2=1, making it ideal for deep-sleep states in cellular modems or always-on sensor hubs where microamp-level leakage is critical.
What thermal considerations apply to the ISL91106IIQ-EVZ in a 2A continuous load application?
The ISL91106IIQ-EVZ uses a 2.15mm × 1.51mm WLCSP with an exposed thermal pad, and its thermal resistance (θJA) is specified at 75°C/W on a 4-layer PCB with 1-in² copper pour. At 2A output and 96% efficiency, power dissipation is ~270mW, resulting in ~20°C junction-to-ambient rise. To maintain reliability, the ISL91106IIQ-EVZ requires solid thermal vias under the pad connected to inner ground planes, and ambient temperature should remain below 85°C. The device includes thermal shutdown at 150°C with automatic recovery.
Is the ISL91106IIQ-EVZ pin-compatible with the ISL91106A variant or other members of the ISL91106 family?
Yes-the ISL91106IIQ-EVZ shares identical pinout, package dimensions, and footprint with all ISL91106 and ISL91106A variants (e.g., ISL91106IINZ, ISL91106AIIAZ). The only differences are internal switch current ratings (3.8A for ISL91106 vs. 4.2A for ISL91106A) and minor electrical specifications such as output current capability and efficiency curves. All share the same MODE1/MODE2 logic mapping, FB configuration, and protection thresholds-enabling drop-in replacement within the same family without PCB modification.
