Product details
Overview
ISL91108IINZ-TR5691 from Renesas Electronics (formerly Intersil) is a fully synchronous 4-switch buck-boost DC/DC regulator delivering up to 1.6A DC output current at 3.3V with 2.6MHz switching frequency, 27.5µA quiescent current, and input range of 1.8V–5.5V. It enables compact power delivery in space-constrained mobile applications where input voltage may fall below or rise above the regulated output.
For engineers reviewing the ISL91108IINZ-TR5691 datasheet, ISL91108IINZ-TR5691 pinout, ISL91108IINZ-TR5691 application, or ISL91108IINZ-TR5691 equivalent, key selection factors include its seamless buck/boost mode transition, WLCSP-20 package footprint (2.34mm × 1.72mm), fixed 3.3V output, thermal shutdown at 150°C, and support for external clock synchronization from 2.75MHz to 3.25MHz.
Technical Context
The ISL91108IINZ-TR5691 implements a 4-switch buck-boost topology with automatic, disturbance-free transitions between buck and boost modes based on real-time VIN–VOUT comparison. Its internal PWM controller manages P-channel (90mΩ RDS(ON)) and N-channel (75mΩ RDS(ON)) MOSFETs, while separate PVIN and VIN supply rails isolate high-current switching paths from analog reference circuitry.
It features dual ground domains (PGND for power switching, GND for analog control), programmable operation via MODE/SYNC pin (PFM auto-mode, forced PWM, or external sync), and integrated protections including short-circuit detection via FB monitoring, undervoltage lockout (1.775V rising threshold), and thermal shutdown with 35°C hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Topology | 4-switch synchronous buck-boost - enables single-inductor regulation when VIN < VOUT or VIN > VOUT without manual mode selection. |
| Input Voltage Range | 1.8V to 5.5V - supports Li-ion battery discharge curve (2.8V–4.2V) and USB-powered systems (5V). |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V - no external resistor divider required; VOUT internally connected to FB pin. |
| DC Output Current | 1.6A at 3.3V (PVIN = 2.8V) - sufficient for baseband processors, RF power amplifiers, and PMIC subsystems. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.6MHz (typ) - allows use of small 1µH inductors and low-ESR ceramic capacitors to minimize solution size. |
| Quiescent Current | 27.5µA - maintains high light-load efficiency in always-on system rails like RTC or sensor bias supplies. |
| Package | 20-bump WLCSP (2.34mm × 1.72mm, 0.4mm pitch) - ultra-compact footprint compatible with fine-pitch mobile PCB assembly. |
Pinout & Package
ISL91108IINZ-TR5691 uses a 20-bump Wafer-Level Chip-Scale Package (WLCSP) with 0.4mm pitch, measuring 2.34mm × 1.72mm. The package exposes solder bumps on the die side; land pattern requires 0.265mm diameter pads with 0.4mm center-to-center spacing and 0.200mm clearance to body edge.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A5, B5, C5 | VOUT | Regulated 3.3V output node; connects to two 22µF X5R ceramic capacitors referenced to PGND. |
| A4, B4, C4 | LX2 | Inductor output-side switching node; carries high-frequency AC current during boost and buck phases. |
| A3, B3, C3 | PGND | Power ground return for LX1/LX2 switching currents; must be low-impedance copper plane tied to input/output capacitor grounds. |
| A2, B2, C2 | LX1 | Inductor input-side switching node; connects directly to PVIN-side of 1µH shielded inductor. |
| A1, B1, C1 | PVIN | Main power input (1.8V–5.5V); supplies switching MOSFETs; bypassed with two 10µF X5R ceramics to PGND. |
| D1 | VIN | Analog supply input (1.8V–5.5V); powers internal reference and control circuitry; decoupled separately from PVIN. |
| D2 | EN | Active-high enable; logic HIGH (>1.4V) initiates soft-start; LOW (<0.4V) disables regulator and activates 110Ω VOUT-to-GND soft-discharge path. |
| D3 | MODE/SYNC | Configurable pin: HIGH = auto PFM mode; LOW = forced PWM; external 2.75–3.25MHz clock accepted for EMI-sensitive designs. |
| D4 | GND | Analog ground reference; isolated from PGND to prevent noise coupling into error amplifier and reference circuits. |
| D5 | FB | Feedback input; internally shorted to VOUT for fixed 3.3V operation; not used with external resistors in this variant. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Seamless buck/boost mode transition | Zero-output-disturbance switching eliminates voltage glitches during VIN crossing VOUT - critical for powering noise-sensitive RF PA stages. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 27.5µA enables >85% efficiency at 100µA load - extends battery life in standby and sleep modes of portable devices. |
| Integrated short-circuit protection | FB-based fault detection reduces external component count and avoids need for discrete current-sense resistors or secondary controllers. |
| 2.6MHz constant-frequency operation | Enables use of 1µH inductors with <1.2mm height - reduces total solution volume by >40% vs. 1MHz alternatives. |
| Separate PVIN/VIN supply domains | Prevents switching noise from corrupting internal reference accuracy - ensures ±2% output voltage regulation across temperature and line. |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current supported by the ISL91108IINZ-TR5691?
The ISL91108IINZ-TR5691 delivers up to 1.6A DC output current at 3.3V when PVIN = 2.8V, as specified in the Recommended Operating Conditions table. This rating assumes proper PCB layout with adequate thermal dissipation using the 2.34mm × 1.72mm WLCSP package's exposed pad. Peak burst current reaches 2.7A for pulses under 600µs, useful for GSM transmit bursts.
Does the ISL91108IINZ-TR5691 require external feedback resistors to set the output voltage?
No, the ISL91108IINZ-TR5691 is the fixed 3.3V output variant. Its VOUT pin is internally connected to the FB pin, eliminating the need for external resistors. This simplifies design and improves accuracy versus adjustable versions that depend on resistor tolerance and layout parasitics. External resistors are only required for the ISL91108IIAZ-TR variant.
How does the ISL91108IINZ-TR5691 handle input voltages near the 3.3V output level?
The ISL91108IINZ-TR5691 automatically and seamlessly transitions between buck and boost modes when VIN approaches VOUT, avoiding output voltage disturbance. During crossover, the controller modulates duty cycle and adjusts soft-start ramp rate to maintain <15mVpp ripple and prevent instability - a key differentiator from dual-stage or hybrid topologies requiring external mode control logic.
What thermal protection features are built into the ISL91108IINZ-TR5691?
The ISL91108IINZ-TR5691 includes thermal shutdown at +150°C (typical) with 35°C hysteresis, ensuring safe recovery at +115°C. When triggered, the device halts switching and executes a full soft-start sequence upon cooldown. Its WLCSP package provides low θJC = 1.0°C/W, enabling >1.2W power dissipation with standard 2-layer PCB copper pours - verified in AN1903 evaluation board thermal imaging.
Can the ISL91108IINZ-TR5691 be synchronized to an external clock, and what is the acceptable frequency range?
Yes, the MODE/SYNC pin of the ISL91108IINZ-TR5691 accepts an external clock signal for synchronization. The valid input frequency range is 2.75MHz to 3.25MHz (±2% tolerance), matching common RF synthesizer outputs. This feature reduces beat frequencies and EMI peaks in dense RF layouts - confirmed in ISL91108IINZ-EVZ evaluation board conducted emissions testing per CISPR 22 Class B.
