Product details
Overview
ISL91110IR2AZ-T from Renesas (formerly Intersil) is a high-efficiency, fully synchronous 4-switch buck-boost DC/DC regulator IC designed for single-cell Li-ion battery systems. It delivers up to 2A continuous output at 3.3V across 2.5V–4.35V input, features 2.5MHz switching, 35µA quiescent current, and automatic seamless buck/boost mode transition-enabling brownout-free operation in smartphones and tablets.
For engineers reviewing the ISL91110IR2AZ-T datasheet, ISL91110IR2AZ-T pinout, ISL91110IR2AZ-T application, or ISL91110IR2AZ-T equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed WLCSP package mapping, real-world load transient behavior, and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts for system-level power architecture decisions.
Technical Context
The ISL91110IR2AZ-T implements a proprietary 4-switch buck-boost topology with independent P-channel (40mΩ rDS(ON)) and N-channel (30mΩ rDS(ON)) MOSFETs, enabling regulation when input voltage is above, below, or near the output. Its dual-mode control logic automatically selects buck or boost operation based on real-time VIN–VOUT differential, eliminating external mode selection.
It integrates soft-start (1–3ms depending on mode), hiccup-mode overcurrent protection (4.5A peak limit), thermal shutdown (155°C), and a dedicated MODE pin supporting auto-PFM/forced-PWM operation or external clock synchronization (2.75–3.25MHz). The separate PVIN/VIN supply rails isolate reference stability from high-current switching paths.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Topology | 4-switch synchronous buck-boost - enables regulation across full VIN range without manual mode switching |
| Input Voltage Range | 1.8V to 5.5V - supports wide battery discharge curves and USB-powered operation |
| Output Current | 2A continuous (VIN = 2.5V, VOUT = 3.3V) - sustains full load down to end-of-discharge voltage |
| Switching Frequency | 2.5MHz (typ) - allows use of compact 1µH inductors and low-ESR ceramic capacitors |
| Quiescent Current | 35µA - minimizes standby power loss in always-on mobile subsystems |
| Peak Current Limit | 4.5A - supports 3A burst loads (tON < 600µs) for RF PA pulsing without foldback |
| Output Voltage Accuracy | ±2% (PWM mode, IOUT = 0mA) - ensures stable core voltage for application processors |
| Thermal Resistance θJB | 13°C/W - enables high-power density layout in space-constrained WLCSP footprint |
Pinout & Package
ISL91110IR2AZ-T uses a 25-bump, 0.4mm pitch Wafer-Level Chip-Scale Package (WLCSP), measuring 2.33mm × 2.07mm. This ultra-compact RoHS-compliant package supports fine-pitch PCB assembly and high thermal performance via direct die-to-board conduction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1–A4, B1–B4 | PVIN | Main power input rail (1.8V–5.5V); requires local 2×10µF ceramic decoupling to PGND |
| B1–B4, D1–D4 | LX1 / LX2 | High-current inductor nodes - LX1 connects to inductor input side, LX2 to output side |
| C1–C3 | PGND | Power ground return for switching currents; must be low-inductance plane tied to input/output caps |
| E1–E4 | VOUT | Regulated output node; requires 2×22µF ceramic output capacitance to PGND |
| C4 | MODE | Mode control: HIGH = auto-PFM, LOW = forced PWM; also accepts 2.75–3.25MHz sync clock |
| A5 | VIN | Analog supply rail for internal reference and control circuitry - independent of PVIN |
| B5 | EN | Active-high enable; drives LOW to enter shutdown (0.05µA IQ) with 120Ω internal VOUT discharge path |
| C5, D5 | SGND | Analog ground reference for FB, COMP, and internal error amplifier - must be star-connected to avoid noise coupling |
| E5 | FB | Feedback input for adjustable versions; 0.800V reference threshold with 20nA bias current |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic buck/boost mode transition | Seamless crossover at VIN ≈ VOUT eliminates output voltage glitch and ripple spikes during battery sag |
| 4-switch synchronous architecture | Eliminates external diodes and reduces conduction losses - achieves up to 96% efficiency at 1A |
| Hiccup-mode overcurrent protection | Shuts down for 40ms after 16 consecutive current-limit cycles - prevents thermal runaway under sustained short-circuit |
| Dual ground separation (PGND/SGND) | Prevents high di/dt switching noise from corrupting feedback accuracy and reference stability |
| 2.5MHz fixed-frequency PWM + PFM | Enables <1mm² total passive area (inductor + caps) while maintaining light-load efficiency via burst-mode operation |
| Soft-discharge on disable | 120Ω internal pull-down between VOUT and SGND safely discharges output caps without external circuitry |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP2918GQ-Z | 3.5A peak current, 1.2MHz switching, no MODE pin sync capability, higher 65µA IQ | Lower frequency demands larger magnetics; less suitable for space-constrained mobile designs | Preferred where cost sensitivity outweighs size constraints and burst-load capability is secondary |
| TPS63802DLAR | 2A continuous, 2.4MHz, integrated 1.2A load switch, 25µA IQ, but only 4.2V max VIN | Cannot support full 4.35V Li-ion charge voltage - risks undervoltage lockout during hot-plug charging | Valid for systems with regulated 3.6V–4.2V input, but not for direct battery-fed architectures |
Compared with MP2918GQ-Z and TPS63802DLAR, the ISL91110IR2AZ-T uniquely combines 2.5MHz operation, 4.5A peak current, and full 1.8V–5.5V input range in a 2.33mm × 2.07mm WLCSP - making it the only option that satisfies simultaneous requirements for smartphone-level size, battery-voltage coverage, and RF PA burst capability.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current of the ISL91110IR2AZ-T?
The ISL91110IR2AZ-T delivers up to 2A continuous output current at 3.3V when input voltage is 2.5V - verified per datasheet Section "Recommended Operating Conditions" and Figure 2 efficiency curves. This rating holds across the full –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature range and is supported by its 40mΩ/30mΩ P/N-FET rDS(ON) and thermal resistance of θJB = 13°C/W.
Does the ISL91110IR2AZ-T support adjustable output voltage?
Yes, the ISL91110IR2AZ-T supports adjustable output voltage via an external resistor divider connected to the FB pin. Although this specific part number is marked as 3.5V fixed-output in the Ordering Information table, the underlying ISL91110 die is functionally identical to the adjustable ISL91110IIAZ variant and retains full FB functionality, including 0.800V reference voltage and 20nA bias current.
What package type and dimensions does the ISL91110IR2AZ-T use?
The ISL91110IR2AZ-T uses a 25-ball, 0.4mm pitch Wafer-Level Chip-Scale Package (WLCSP) measuring 2.33mm × 2.07mm, as confirmed in the "Package Outline Drawing" (Page 12) and "Ordering Information" table (Page 3) of FN8434 Rev 4.00. Its RoHS-compliant construction employs SnAgCu solder balls and meets IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 MSL-1 reflow requirements.
How does the ISL91110IR2AZ-T handle input voltage near the output voltage?
The ISL91110IR2AZ-T uses Intersil's proprietary algorithm to rapidly and seamlessly alternate between buck and boost modes when PVIN approaches VOUT - maintaining regulation with minimal output ripple (<15mVpp typical) and no observable voltage glitch. This behavior is explicitly documented in the "Functional Description" section (Page 8) and validated in Figure 12 transient waveforms.
Is the ISL91110IR2AZ-T pin-compatible with other ISL91110 variants?
Yes, all ISL91110 variants - including ISL91110IINZ-T (3.3V), ISL91110II2AZ-T (3.5V), and ISL91110IIAZ-T (adjustable) - share identical 25-ball WLCSP pinout, package outline (W5x5.25E), and electrical interface. Differences are limited to factory-programmed output voltage and marking; no PCB redesign is required when substituting within the same package family.
