Product details
Overview
ISL9111AEH33Z-T from Renesas (formerly Intersil) is a low-input-voltage, high-efficiency synchronous boost converter with integrated 1A N- and P-channel MOSFETs, delivering a fixed 3.3V output. It starts up at 0.6V and operates down to 0.5V, supports 240mA output at 1.8V input, achieves up to 97% efficiency, and features skip mode for 20µA quiescent current-ideal for single-cell alkaline/NiMH-powered portable audio and wireless peripherals.
For engineers reviewing the ISL9111AEH33Z-T datasheet, ISL9111AEH33Z-T pinout, ISL9111AEH33Z-T application, or ISL9111AEH33Z-T equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed load/line regulation specs, and real-world alternative options for battery-powered DC-DC design.
Technical Context
The ISL9111AEH33Z-T implements peak current-mode PWM control with internal compensation and a 1.2MHz oscillator, enabling stable operation with minimal external components. Its synchronous rectification replaces Schottky diodes with low-rDS(ON) MOSFETs (0.2Ω N-ch, 0.35Ω P-ch), eliminating body-diode conduction loss during shutdown via active polarity reversal.
Unlike the ISL9111 variant, the ISL9111A disables UVLO to maximize non-rechargeable battery life-enabling operation from 0.5V post-startup-and integrates output disconnect, thermal shutdown (150°C), and fault reporting via an open-drain FAULT pin tied to overvoltage (ADJ only), short-circuit, and undervoltage conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±100mV-ensures stable rail for 3.3V logic, USB-OTG PHY, and Bluetooth baseband without external feedback resistors. |
| Start-up Voltage | 0.6V typical-enables power-up from deeply discharged single-cell alkaline batteries before conventional boost ICs activate. |
| Min Operating Voltage | 0.5V after start-up-extends usable battery life in non-rechargeable applications by extracting energy down to near-dead cell voltage. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.2MHz (1.0–1.4MHz range)-permits use of tiny 4.7µH inductors and ceramic capacitors, minimizing solution footprint in space-constrained wearables. |
| Quiescent Current | 20µA typical in skip mode-reduces no-load drain on primary cells, directly extending shelf life and runtime in always-on sensor nodes. |
| Peak Switch Current | 1.0A typical-supports 240mA output at 3.3V from 1.8V input while maintaining >90% efficiency across light-to-moderate loads. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C with 25°C hysteresis-protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design without requiring external thermal monitoring. |
Pinout & Package
ISL9111AEH33Z-T is housed in a Pb-free 6-lead SOT-23 package (JEDEC MO-178AB, pkg drawing P6.064), with 146°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. The fixed-output version uses internal resistor divider and includes FAULT reporting-no FB pin required.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 SW | Power switch node | Connects to inductor's switched terminal; carries high di/dt current-requires short, wide trace routing to minimize EMI and voltage spikes. |
| 2 GND | Power and signal ground | Primary return path for input/output capacitors and inductor; must connect to solid ground plane to ensure stability and EMI control. |
| 3 EN | Enable control input | Active-high logic input (0.8×VIN threshold); pulls device into <1µA shutdown when low, fully disconnecting VOUT from VIN. |
| 4 FAULT | Open-drain fault indicator | Asserts low under short-circuit, thermal shutdown, or output undervoltage-enables system-level fault logging without polling. |
| 5 VOUT | Regulated output | Delivers fixed 3.3V; requires 4.7µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin and GND for ripple suppression and transient response. |
| 6 VIN | Input supply | Accepts 0.5–3.1V (VOUT − 200mV); requires local 4.7µF ceramic capacitor between VIN and GND to stabilize low-impedance battery source. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous rectification | Integrated N- and P-channel MOSFETs replace Schottky diode-eliminates 300–500mV forward drop, enabling >90% efficiency at light loads. |
| Output disconnect | Active polarity reversal of P-MOSFET body diode during shutdown-prevents battery drain through load, critical for long-term storage. |
| Skip mode operation | Enters pulse-skipping below ~1mA load-reduces average switching losses and holds quiescent current to 20µA, maximizing battery life. |
| Digital soft-start | Linear ramp + fixed 75% duty cycle until VOUT reaches 2.3V-limits inrush current to ~200mA, protecting weak primary cells and input caps. |
| Fault protection suite | Monitors short-circuit, thermal overload (150°C), and output undervoltage-asserts FAULT pin within 2ms of fault detection for rapid system response. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous boost converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Texas Instruments TPS61099YFFR | 0.7V start-up, 3.3V fixed output, 1.2MHz, but only 400mA peak switch current and no FAULT pin. | Lacks fault reporting and lower current capability limits use in burst-mode RF loads above 200mA. | Choose for cost-sensitive, lower-current applications where fault visibility is not required. |
| Analog Devices ADP5070ACPZ-R7 | Adjustable output (1.2–5.5V), 2.5A switch, but requires external compensation and has 1.4V minimum start-up. | Cannot operate below 1.4V-unsuitable for depleted single-cell alkaline/NiMH; higher complexity increases BOM count. | Choose when adjustable output and higher current are needed, and input voltage remains ≥1.4V. |
Compared with TPS61099YFFR and ADP5070ACPZ-R7, the ISL9111AEH33Z-T uniquely combines ultra-low 0.6V start-up, integrated FAULT reporting, and 1A switch capability in a 6-pin SOT-23-making it optimal for space-constrained, single-cell battery systems demanding maximum runtime and fault-aware operation.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for ISL9111AEH33Z-T to start switching?
The ISL9111AEH33Z-T has a typical start-up voltage of 0.6V under no-load conditions, enabling operation from nearly exhausted single-cell alkaline or NiMH batteries. This is 0.2V lower than the ISL9111 variant, reflecting its optimization for non-rechargeable applications. The ISL9111AEH33Z-T will begin regulating 3.3V output once VIN exceeds this threshold and EN is asserted high.
Does ISL9111AEH33Z-T include undervoltage lockout (UVLO) functionality?
No-the ISL9111AEH33Z-T disables UVLO to maximize usable energy from non-rechargeable batteries. Unlike the ISL9111, which shuts down at 0.7V to protect rechargeable cells, the ISL9111AEH33Z-T continues operating down to 0.5V after start-up. This design choice allows full depletion of primary cells without premature cutoff.
How does the FAULT pin on ISL9111AEH33Z-T behave during a short-circuit event?
During a short-circuit condition-detected when VOUT falls below VIN-the ISL9111AEH33Z-T immediately asserts the FAULT pin low and halts switching. The device automatically attempts restart after 200ms. The FAULT pin remains low until the short is removed or VIN/VOUT collapse, providing unambiguous system-level fault signaling without software polling.
Can ISL9111AEH33Z-T be used with an adjustable output voltage?
No-ISL9111AEH33Z-T is a fixed 3.3V output variant with internal feedback divider. For adjustable output, select ISL9111AEHADJZ-T, which exposes the FB pin and requires external R1/R2 resistors. The ISL9111AEH33Z-T lacks FB connectivity and substitutes the FAULT pin in its 6-pin SOT-23 layout, making output voltage reconfiguration impossible.
What thermal performance can be expected from ISL9111AEH33Z-T in a standard 2-layer PCB layout?
In a standard 2-layer board with 1oz copper and no thermal vias, the ISL9111AEH33Z-T exhibits a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 146°C/W. At 240mA output and 1.8V input, typical power dissipation is ~120mW-resulting in ~17.5°C junction rise above ambient. Thermal shutdown triggers only under sustained overload or inadequate copper area.
