Product details
Overview
ISL91106IIQZ-T from Renesas (formerly Intersil) is a fully synchronous 4-switch buck-boost DC/DC regulator delivering up to 2A output current at 3.3V with 1.8V–5.5V input range, 2.5MHz switching frequency, and 45µA no-load quiescent current-designed for smartphone power rail regulation where input voltage may dip below or rise above VOUT.
For engineers reviewing the ISL91106IIQZ-T datasheet, ISL91106IIQZ-T pinout, ISL91106IIQZ-T application, or ISL91106IIQZ-T equivalent, key selection criteria include seamless buck/boost mode transition behavior, bypass mode enablement via MODE1/MODE2 pins, WLCSP package footprint constraints, and compatibility with single-inductor 1µH designs in space-constrained mobile SoC power domains.
Technical Context
The ISL91106IIQZ-T implements automatic, disturbance-free transitions between buck, boost, and pass-through modes using internal voltage-mode control and real-time VIN/VOUT comparison logic. Its 4-switch architecture eliminates body-diode conduction loss and enables bidirectional regulation without external MOSFETs.
It supports three operating modes selected by MODE1/MODE2: Auto (buck/boost/bypass), PWM-only (forced continuous conduction), and Bypass (direct PVIN-to-VOUT connection). Undervoltage lockout, overcurrent protection, and thermal shutdown are integrated and active across all modes.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 1.8V to 5.5V - supports Li-ion battery discharge curve and USB-powered operation without pre-regulation |
| Output Current | 2A @ VOUT=3.3V, PVIN=2.8V - sufficient for AP/SoC core rails in mid-tier smartphones |
| Switching Frequency | 2.5MHz - enables use of compact 1µH inductor and small ceramic capacitors |
| Quiescent Current | 45µA - maintains high efficiency down to µA-level load currents in sleep mode |
| Efficiency Peak | 96% - achieved at mid-load with 3.3V output and 3.8V input |
| Output Voltage Options | Fixed 3.3V or 3.4V; adjustable 1.0V–5.2V via external resistor divider - supports diverse SoC I/O and memory rails |
| Protection Features | Overtemperature, overcurrent, and undervoltage lockout - autonomous fault recovery without host intervention |
Pinout & Package
Package: 2.15mm × 1.51mm, 16-bump Wafer-Level Chip-Scale Package (WLCSP) with 0.4mm pitch and bottom-side thermal pad.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Primary input supply | Accepts 1.8V–5.5V; connects to battery or system rail before LDO/pre-regulator |
| PVIN | Power input for high-current path | Direct connection to battery anode; carries full load current to LX switches |
| VOUT | Regulated output | Delivers stable output to SoC core or I/O domain; requires local 2×22µF ceramic decoupling |
| FB | Feedback input | Monitors output via resistor divider for adjustable versions; tied to VOUT for fixed 3.3V operation |
| MODE1 / MODE2 | Operating mode select | Digital inputs defining Auto/Bypass/PWM mode per truth table; pulled low by default |
| LX1 / LX2 | Switch node outputs | Drive external 1µH inductor center-tap; require low-ESR ceramic caps to GND and PGND |
| GND / PGND | Signal / Power ground | Separate analog and power return paths minimize noise coupling into feedback loop |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Seamless buck-boost transition | Zero-output glitch during VIN crossing VOUT - avoids brownout resets in battery-powered systems |

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 | Higher 3A output capability; improved light-load efficiency (25µA IQ); supports I2C programmable VOUT | Targeted for next-gen smartphones requiring higher current and digital voltage scaling | Preferred for new designs needing extended feature set and longer lifecycle support |
| TPS63020DSJR | 2.5A output; 2.5MHz switching; but uses 3-switch architecture with higher light-load IQ (75µA) | Common in industrial portable instruments where cost sensitivity outweighs ultra-low IQ needs | Valid alternative when board layout accommodates larger 2.5mm × 2.5mm QFN and 75µA IQ is acceptable |
Compared with ISL91106IIQZ-T, ISL91107IRZ-T offers higher current headroom and programmability at the cost of slightly larger WLCSP footprint, while TPS63020DSJR provides comparable performance in QFN packaging but trades off 30µA higher quiescent current-making ISL91106IIQZ-T optimal for legacy smartphone platforms prioritizing minimal IQ and smallest possible footprint.

FAQ
What is the recommended inductor value for ISL91106IIQZ-T in a 3.3V output design?
The ISL91106IIQZ-T datasheet specifies a 1µH shielded power inductor with ≥2.5A saturation current for 3.3V output operation. This value balances peak current handling, AC resistance loss, and physical size within the 2.15mm × 1.51mm WLCSP footprint constraint. Using 1µH ensures stable 2.5MHz operation and meets the 2A output requirement under worst-case PVIN=2.8V conditions. Deviations outside ±20% require re-evaluation of loop stability and thermal performance for the ISL91106IIQZ-T.
Does ISL91106IIQZ-T support true 1.8V input operation across full temperature range?
Yes, the ISL91106IIQZ-T is fully specified for 1.8V minimum input voltage across –40°C to +85°C ambient, with guaranteed start-up and regulation at 1.8V when VOUT ≤ 3.3V. Internal UVLO threshold is 1.7V with 100mV hysteresis, ensuring reliable operation even during Li-ion battery sag. All electrical characteristics-including 2A output current and 96% peak efficiency-are validated at 1.8V input in the official FN8679 datasheet for ISL91106IIQZ-T.
How does bypass mode function in ISL91106IIQZ-T and what is its typical RDS(on)?
In bypass mode, the ISL91106IIQZ-T internally connects PVIN directly to VOUT through low-RDS(on) integrated FETs, disabling switching operation to achieve ultra-low quiescent current. Typical RDS(on) is 12mΩ, resulting in <40mV dropout at 2A load. This mode is activated by setting MODE1=0 and MODE2=1, and is used during system sleep to eliminate switching losses while maintaining regulated output-critical for extending battery life in ISL91106IIQZ-T-based smartphone designs.
Can ISL91106IIQZ-T be used with adjustable output voltages below 1.0V or above 5.2V?
No, the ISL91106IIQZ-T supports adjustable output only between 1.0V and 5.2V using the FB pin and external resistor divider, as confirmed in the FN8679 datasheet. Operation outside this range is not characterized or guaranteed. The internal error amplifier reference is 0.6V, and FB pin voltage must remain within 0.6V ±10% for regulation. Attempting outputs <1.0V risks instability; >5.2V exceeds absolute maximum ratings for the FB network and may damage the ISL91106IIQZ-T.
Is ISL91106IIQZ-T pin-compatible with ISL91106A variants such as ISL91106AIQZ-T?
No, ISL91106IIQZ-T is not pin-compatible with ISL91106AIQZ-T. Although both share identical WLCSP-16 packaging and pinout arrangement, the ISL91106A variant integrates higher-current 4.2A switches versus 3.8A in the ISL91106IIQZ-T, requiring revised thermal layout and potentially different inductor current rating. The datasheet explicitly lists them as distinct orderable parts with separate validation-interchange requires verification of thermal margin and peak inductor current for the ISL91106IIQZ-T design.
