Product details
Overview
ISL91127IINZ-T7A from Renesas Electronics is a high-efficiency, fully synchronous 4-switch buck-boost DC/DC regulator delivering up to 2A continuous output current at 3.3V across 2.5V–4.35V input range. It features 2.5MHz switching frequency, 30µA quiescent current, and automatic seamless buck/boost mode transitions-designed for single-cell Li-ion battery systems in portable medical and consumer devices.
For engineers reviewing the ISL91127IINZ-T7A datasheet, ISL91127IINZ-T7A pinout, ISL91127IINZ-T7A application, or ISL91127IINZ-T7A equivalent, this device supports fixed 3.3V output with no external feedback components, integrates short-circuit/thermal/UVLO protection, and targets brownout-free system voltage regulation in space-constrained handheld platforms.
Technical Context
The ISL91127IINZ-T7A implements Renesas' proprietary buck-boost algorithm that dynamically selects between buck and boost topologies based on real-time PVIN–VOUT differential, enabling stable regulation when input voltage crosses output voltage. Its 4-switch synchronous architecture eliminates body-diode conduction losses and supports bidirectional energy transfer during mode transitions.
It operates in either forced PWM or auto PFM mode via the MODE pin, with PFM-to-PWM transition at 200mA load and PWM-to-PFM at 75mA. Internal gate drivers, low-rDS(on) MOSFETs (32mΩ P-ch / 37mΩ N-ch), and integrated soft-start (1–3ms depending on mode) ensure robust startup and transient response under varying battery voltage conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 2A continuous at VOUT = 3.3V, PVIN = 2.5V - sufficient to power baseband processors and RF front-ends in smartphones and tablets. |
| Input Voltage Range | 1.8V to 5.5V - accommodates full discharge curve of single-cell Li-ion (2.5V–4.35V) plus headroom for USB or adapter inputs. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.5MHz (typical) - enables use of compact 1µH inductors and minimizes EMI filtering requirements. |
| Quiescent Current | 30µA - extends battery runtime in standby/sleep states without compromising light-load efficiency. |
| Output Voltage Accuracy | ±2% in PWM mode, ±4% in PFM mode - ensures reliable logic-level compliance for 3.3V I/O rails. |
| Protection Features | Short-circuit, over-temperature (155°C shutdown), UVLO (1.795V rising threshold), and soft-discharge (120Ω internal pull-down) - eliminates need for external fault-handling circuitry. |
| Efficiency Peak | 96% - achieved at mid-load in buck or boost mode, reducing thermal stress in sealed enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
ISL91127IINZ-T7A is housed in a RoHS-compliant 20-lead, 4mm × 4mm QFN package (L20.4x4C) with exposed thermal pad (EPAD) connected to PGND for enhanced thermal dissipation in high-current operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PVIN (Pins 6–9) | Power input supply rail | Accepts 1.8V–5.5V; requires dual 10µF X5R ceramic capacitors to PGND for low-impedance high-frequency decoupling. |
| LX1 (Pins 4–5) | Inductor connection (input side) | Drives inductor during buck-mode high-side switch operation; connects to one end of 1µH shielded inductor. |
| LX2 (Pins 1–2) | Inductor connection (output side) | Completes inductor loop during boost-mode operation; must be routed with minimal loop area to reduce EMI. |
| VOUT (Pins 17–20) | Regulated output node | Delivers up to 2A at 3.3V; requires dual 22µF X5R ceramics to PGND for low-output-ripple performance. |
| EN (Pin 11) | Enable control input | Active-high logic signal; drives HIGH to initiate soft-start sequence and LOW to engage 120Ω internal soft-discharge path. |
| MODE (Pin 12) | Operating mode selection | HIGH enables auto PFM for ultra-low IQ; LOW forces PWM for predictable frequency and reduced output ripple. |
| FB (Pin 15) | Feedback reference input | Internally tied to VOUT for fixed 3.3V version; left unconnected per datasheet for ISL91127IINZ-T7A (no external divider required). |
| PGND (Pin 3) | Power ground return | High-current return path for LX1/LX2 switching nodes; must be solid copper plane directly beneath EPAD. |
| SGND (Pins 13–14) | Analog ground reference | Low-noise reference for error amplifier and bandgap; isolated from PGND to prevent switching noise coupling into regulation loop. |
| VIN (Pin 10) | Bias supply input | Provides stable operating voltage for internal references and control logic; must be ≥1.8V and decoupled locally. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic buck-boost mode transition | Zero-interruption regulation when PVIN crosses VOUT - maintains uninterrupted 3.3V rail during battery sag or surge events. |
| 4-switch synchronous architecture | Eliminates external diodes and reduces conduction loss by >30% vs. traditional buck-boost implementations using discrete FETs. |
| Integrated soft-discharge | 120Ω internal resistor discharges VOUT safely on disable - prevents backfeed into powered-down subsystems and simplifies sequencing. |
| 2.5MHz constant-frequency PWM | Enables <1mm² total passive footprint (1µH + 2×22µF) - critical for ultra-thin mobile PCBs with strict height constraints. |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | Shuts down at 155°C and resumes at 125°C - provides safe margin for sustained 2A operation in 65°C ambient handheld environments. |

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 | 4-switch architecture, 2.2MHz fSW, 1.8A max output, no integrated soft-discharge | Lacks internal VOUT discharge path - requires external circuitry for controlled shutdown sequencing | Preferred where cost sensitivity outweighs sequencing simplicity and 200mA lower current rating is acceptable |
| TPS63020DSJR | 4-switch topology, 2.4MHz fSW, 3A output, 25µA IQ, but larger 16-pin WQFN (3×3mm) | Higher peak current capability but 25% larger footprint and no MODE pin for PFM/PWM override | Chosen when >2A load margin is mandatory and board area permits 3×3mm package |
Compared with ISL91127IINZ-T7A, MP2918GQ-Z offers lower cost but sacrifices soft-discharge safety and current capability, while TPS63020DSJR delivers higher output current in a larger footprint without programmable mode control - making ISL91127IINZ-T7A optimal for space-constrained 2A applications requiring robust sequencing and minimal external components.

FAQ
What output voltage does the ISL91127IINZ-T7A deliver?
The ISL91127IINZ-T7A is a fixed-output variant delivering 3.3V nominal output voltage. It achieves this without external feedback resistors - the FB pin is internally connected to VOUT. Output voltage accuracy is ±2% in PWM mode and ±4% in PFM mode across -40°C to +85°C ambient temperature and full input voltage range (1.8V–5.5V).
Does the ISL91127IINZ-T7A require external compensation components?
No, the ISL91127IINZ-T7A uses an internally compensated control loop optimized for standard 1µH inductors and 2×22µF output capacitors. No external compensation network is needed for stable operation - simplifying design and reducing bill-of-materials count in space-constrained applications.
How does the ISL91127IINZ-T7A handle input voltage crossing the output voltage?
The ISL91127IINZ-T7A automatically and seamlessly transitions between buck and boost modes using Renesas' proprietary algorithm. When PVIN approaches 3.3V, it rapidly alternates topologies to maintain regulation - resulting in <10mVpp output ripple and no dropout or glitch, even during dynamic battery discharge.
What thermal performance can be expected from the ISL91127IINZ-T7A in a 2A application?
In a typical 4-layer PCB with 1-in² 2oz copper thermal pad connected to the EPAD, the ISL91127IINZ-T7A reaches ~75°C junction temperature at 2A/3.3V with 3.6V input at +25°C ambient. Its thermal shutdown activates at 155°C with 30°C hysteresis, ensuring safe operation under sustained load in handheld enclosures.
Is the ISL91127IINZ-T7A pin-compatible with other members of the ISL911xx family?
No - the ISL91127IINZ-T7A uses a 20-pin QFN package, while ISL91127 variants in WLCSP (e.g., ISL91127) have different pin counts and layouts. Even within QFN variants, pin functions differ: ISL91127IRAZ (adjustable version) requires FB connection to external resistors, whereas ISL91127IINZ-T7A ties FB internally and leaves it unused.
