Product details
Overview
ISL91127II2AZ-T from Renesas Electronics is a high-efficiency, fully synchronous 4-switch buck-boost DC/DC regulator delivering up to 2A output current at 3.3V with input range 1.8V–5.5V, 2.5MHz switching frequency, and 30µA quiescent current-designed for single-cell Li-ion battery systems in portable medical and consumer devices.
For engineers reviewing the ISL91127II2AZ-T datasheet, ISL91127II2AZ-T pinout, ISL91127II2AZ-T application, or ISL91127II2AZ-T equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed efficiency curves across buck/boost transitions, real-world load transient response data, and two rigorously cross-checked alternative regulators for adjustable-output buck-boost designs.
Technical Context
The ISL91127II2AZ-T implements a proprietary 4-switch buck-boost topology with automatic mode transition between buck and boost based on real-time VIN–VOUT differential, enabling stable regulation when input voltage crosses output voltage (e.g., 2.5V → 3.3V → 4.0V). Its control architecture integrates PWM and PFM modes, with 75mA/200mA load thresholds defining the PFM↔PWM boundary under 3.6V input.
Internal gate drivers support low ON-resistance MOSFETs (rDSON_P = 32mΩ, rDSON_N = 37mΩ at 3.6V), while dedicated PVIN/VIN dual-supply inputs isolate reference generation from high-current power paths. Soft-start (1–2ms ramp) and soft-discharge (120Ω internal pull-down) are hardware-controlled, and thermal shutdown activates at 155°C with 30°C hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Topology | 4-switch synchronous buck-boost with seamless auto-transition between modes |
| Input Voltage Range | 1.8V to 5.5V - supports full discharge of Li-ion cells down to 2.5V while maintaining regulated 3.3V output |
| Output Current | 2A continuous at VOUT = 3.3V, PVIN = 2.5V - enables high-power RF PA and SoC rail delivery from single-cell batteries |
| Switching Frequency | 2.5MHz (typ) - reduces external inductor size to 1µH and minimizes EMI filtering requirements |
| Quiescent Current | 30µA in PFM mode - extends battery runtime in standby/sleep states without sacrificing wake-up responsiveness |
| Output Voltage Range | 1.0V to 5.2V (adjustable via FB resistor divider) - covers core logic, I/O, and analog supply needs across diverse SoCs |
| Protection Features | Short-circuit, over-temperature (155°C), and undervoltage lockout (1.725V rising threshold) - ensures robust operation in unregulated battery environments |
Pinout & Package
ISL91127II2AZ-T is housed in a 20-lead, 4mm × 4mm, 0.5mm pitch QFN package (RoHS-compliant, L20.4x4C drawing) with exposed thermal pad (EPAD) requiring connection to PGND for optimal thermal performance and EMI control.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PVIN (Pins 6–9) | High-current power input | Accepts 1.8V–5.5V battery input; requires 2×10µF ceramic capacitors to PGND for ripple suppression |
| LX1 (Pins 4–5) | Inductor connection (input side) | Drives inductor during buck-mode high-side switch conduction; must be routed with low-inductance path |
| LX2 (Pins 1–2) | Inductor connection (output side) | Completes inductor current loop during boost-mode operation; shares return path with PGND |
| VOUT (Pins 17–20) | Regulated output | Delivers up to 2A; requires 2×22µF ceramic output capacitors to PGND for low-ESR stability |
| FB (Pin 15) | Voltage feedback input | Senses output via external resistor divider; 0.8V reference enables precise 1.0V–5.2V programming |
| EN (Pin 11) | Enable control | Logic HIGH (>1.4V) enables regulation; LOW disables device and activates 120Ω soft-discharge path |
| MODE (Pin 12) | Operating mode select | HIGH selects auto PFM for light-load efficiency; LOW forces PWM for fixed-frequency noise control or sync capability |
| SGND (Pins 13–14) | Analog ground reference | Separate from PGND to prevent switching noise coupling into feedback and reference circuits |
| PGND (Pin 3) | Power ground | High-current return path for LX1/LX2 switches; must be tied to EPAD and kept low-impedance |
| NC (Pin 16) | No-connect terminal | Must remain unconnected; no internal circuitry attached |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Auto buck-boost mode transition | Seamless crossover at VIN ≈ VOUT eliminates output glitches and maintains regulation during battery sag or surge |

| 30µA quiescent current | Extends shelf life and standby time in always-on medical sensors and IoT edge nodes powered by coin cells or small Li-ion |
| Integrated 120Ω soft-discharge | Prevents unsafe residual voltage on VOUT after shutdown-critical for USB-C PD and hot-swap compliance |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar adjustable-output buck-boost regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS63802DLAR | 2.5V–5.5V input, 1.8V–5.5V output, 2A max, 2.1MHz switching, 17µA IQ - lower quiescent current but no MODE pin for external sync | Preferred for ultra-low-power wearables needing <20µA IQ; lacks programmable soft-start and thermal hysteresis reporting | Select when minimum sleep current dominates design priority and sync capability is unnecessary |
| MAX20419ATPA/VY+ | 2.5V–5.5V input, 0.5V–5.2V output, 3A max, 2.2MHz switching, 25µA IQ - higher current rating and wider VOUT range, but larger 24-pin 4×4 QFN | Better suited for multi-rail industrial controllers requiring 3A+ loads and sub-1V core supplies | Select when >2A output or sub-1V regulation is required, accepting larger footprint and higher cost |
Compared with TPS63802DLAR and MAX20419ATPA/VY+, the ISL91127II2AZ-T offers superior buck-boost transition smoothness (verified <10mV glitch), integrated soft-discharge for safe shutdown, and tighter ±2% output accuracy at 3.3V-making it optimal for medical and premium consumer devices demanding reliability over raw efficiency.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the ISL91127II2AZ-T at 3.3V output?
The ISL91127II2AZ-T delivers up to 2A continuous output current at VOUT = 3.3V when PVIN = 2.5V, as confirmed in the Recommended Operating Conditions table (Page 4) and validated in Figure 18 (Output Current Capability). This rating holds across the full –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature range with proper thermal layout and 2×22µF output capacitance.
Does the ISL91127II2AZ-T support both fixed and adjustable output voltages?
Yes-the ISL91127II2AZ-T is the adjustable-output variant of the ISL91127IR family. It uses an external resistor divider on the FB pin to set VOUT from 1.0V to 5.2V, with a 0.8V internal reference (Page 4, Analog Specifications). Fixed-output versions (e.g., ISL91127IRNZ-T) tie VOUT directly to FB and are not interchangeable with ISL91127II2AZ-T.
How does the MODE pin function on the ISL91127II2AZ-T?
The MODE pin on the ISL91127II2AZ-T selects operating mode: HIGH enables auto PFM for highest light-load efficiency, while LOW forces fixed-frequency PWM for predictable EMI and external clock synchronization (Page 3, Pin Descriptions). It accepts 2.75MHz–3.25MHz sync signals when driven externally, enabling deterministic noise placement in sensitive RF layouts.
What thermal protection features are implemented in the ISL91127II2AZ-T?
The ISL91127II2AZ-T incorporates thermal shutdown at +155°C (typical) with +30°C hysteresis, resuming operation at +125°C (Page 4, Absolute Maximum Ratings). This behavior is hardware-enforced and independent of software control. The thermal pad (EPAD) must be soldered to a PGND copper plane per L20.4x4C land pattern (Page 12) to achieve the specified θJC = 5°C/W.
Can the ISL91127II2AZ-T operate with input voltage below 2.5V?
Yes-the ISL91127II2AZ-T supports input voltages as low as 1.8V (Page 4, Recommended Operating Conditions), enabling operation through full Li-ion discharge down to 2.0V. However, output current capability decreases below PVIN = 2.5V; at PVIN = 2.0V and VOUT = 3.3V, maximum continuous current is ~1.2A (derived from Figure 18 slope and efficiency curves on Page 8).
