Product details
Overview
ISL9120IIAZ-TR5654 from Renesas Electronics is an adjustable-output buck-boost switching regulator IC designed for ultra-low-power portable systems. It accepts 1.8V–5.5V input, delivers up to 800mA output current at 3.3V, operates with adaptive PFM control, features automatic and forced bypass modes, and uses a single inductor in a 1.41mm × 1.41mm WLCSP package for space-constrained wearable and mobile power rails.
For engineers reviewing the ISL9120IIAZ-TR5654 datasheet, ISL9120IIAZ-TR5654 pinout, ISL9120IIAZ-TR5654 application, or ISL9120IIAZ-TR5654 equivalent, key selection criteria include its adjustable VOUT (1.0V–5.2V), 41µA quiescent current in regulation mode, 0.8V FB reference, 3.5µA forced-bypass current, and thermal shutdown at 150°C - all critical for battery-powered system efficiency and reliability validation.
Technical Context
The ISL9120IIAZ-TR5654 implements a four-switch buck-boost topology with integrated P-channel and N-channel MOSFETs (50mΩ rDSON each), enabling seamless transitions between buck, boost, and automatic bypass modes without output disturbance. Its adaptive multilevel current limit scheme dynamically adjusts peak inductor current from 350mA to 2A across 32 levels based on PFM pulse count, optimizing efficiency across light-to-heavy loads.
It employs separate analog (GND) and power (PGND) ground pins to isolate sensitive feedback circuitry from high di/dt switching currents, and integrates soft-start (1ms delay + ramp), soft-discharge (110Ω internal resistor), UVLO (1.725V rising threshold), and thermal shutdown (150°C trip, 35°C hysteresis) for robust system-level protection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 1.8V to 5.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion, Li-poly, or multi-cell alkaline/battery inputs without pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage Range | 1.0V to 5.2V (adjustable via external resistor divider) - enables flexible rail generation for SoCs, sensors, and RF modules. |
| Max Output Current | 800mA at VIN=2.5V, VOUT=3.3V - sufficient for PMIC sub-rails or moderate-power peripherals. |
| Quiescent Current | 41µA in regulation mode - minimizes standby power loss in always-on subsystems. |
| Forced Bypass Current | ≤3.5µA - extends battery life during deep-sleep states where regulation is unnecessary. |
| FB Reference Voltage | 0.80V - sets precision for external resistor-divider programming with low bias current (25nA). |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C with 35°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
Pinout & Package
ISL9120IIAZ-TR5654 is housed in a RoHS-compliant 9-bump WLCSP (1.41mm × 1.41mm, 0.4mm pitch, pkg drawing W3x3.9E), optimized for minimal board area in thin-profile portable devices.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| LX1 | Inductor input-side switch node | Connects to input side of 1µH inductor; carries high di/dt buck-mode current. |
| VIN | Main power input | Supplies converter and internal references; requires 10µF ceramic capacitor to PGND. |
| BYP | Forced bypass enable input | Logic HIGH activates direct VIN→VOUT path; must not float - ties to EN or controller GPIO. |
| EN | Master enable input | Logic HIGH enables regulation; logic LOW disables device and activates 110Ω soft-discharge path. |
| GND | Analog ground reference | Reference for FB, BYP, EN; must be isolated from PGND to avoid noise coupling into feedback loop. |
| PGND | Power ground return | High-current return path for LX1/LX2 switching; connects to input/output capacitor grounds. |
| LX2 | Inductor output-side switch node | Connects to output side of inductor; carries high di/dt boost-mode current. |
| VOUT | Regulated output | Delivers regulated voltage; requires 22µF–47µF ceramic capacitor to PGND for stability. |
| FB | Feedback input | Monitors output via resistor divider; 0.80V reference enables precise VOUT programming (e.g., 187k/60.4k for 3.3V). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic bypass mode | Engages when |VIN − VOUT| < 1–2%, reducing conduction loss and ripple for near-input-output conditions. |
| Adaptive PFM control | Adjusts switching frequency and peak current limit dynamically to maintain >90% efficiency from 10µA to 800mA load. |
| Integrated 50mΩ MOSFETs | Eliminates need for external switches; reduces solution size and improves thermal performance vs discrete designs. |
| Separate GND/PGND pins | Prevents ground bounce from high di/dt switching from corrupting FB accuracy or EN/BYP logic thresholds. |
| Soft-discharge on disable | 110Ω internal resistor safely discharges VOUT capacitance when EN is deasserted, preventing floating rail issues. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck-boost regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS63020DSJR | Fixed 3.3V or adjustable (0.9V–5.5V); higher 2A max output; 2.5MHz fixed-frequency PWM (vs PFM); larger 2mm × 2mm QFN. | Better for noise-sensitive analog rails needing fixed-frequency operation; less optimal for ultra-low-IQ sleep modes. | Select if system requires lower output ripple or higher current than ISL9120IIAZ-TR5654 supports. |

FAQ
What output voltage range does the ISL9120IIAZ-TR5654 support?
The ISL9120IIAZ-TR5654 supports an adjustable output voltage range of 1.0V to 5.2V, set using an external resistor divider connected to the FB pin. Its 0.80V internal reference voltage enables precise programming - for example, using 187kΩ and 60.4kΩ resistors yields a nominal 3.3V output. This flexibility allows the ISL9120IIAZ-TR5654 to serve diverse rail requirements across portable SoCs, sensors, and RF subsystems.
How does the forced bypass mode function in the ISL9120IIAZ-TR5654?
In forced bypass mode, the ISL9120IIAZ-TR5654 establishes a direct conductive path from VIN to VOUT via its internal power transistors and external inductor, disabling regulation to achieve ultra-low quiescent current (<3.5µA). This mode is activated by driving the BYP pin logic HIGH and is intended for system sleep states where output voltage accuracy is not required - such as when powering an LDO in standby. The ISL9120IIAZ-TR5654 exits bypass mode automatically after ≥1ms when BYP is deasserted.
What is the recommended inductor value for the ISL9120IIAZ-TR5654?
The ISL9120IIAZ-TR5654 is optimized for use with a 1µH shielded ferrite inductor rated for ≥2A saturation current and low DCR (e.g., TDK TFM201610GHM-1R0MTAA, 50mΩ typical). This value balances efficiency, transient response, and physical size. Inductor selection directly impacts peak current limit behavior and PFM burst frequency - deviating significantly from 1µH may degrade light-load efficiency or cause instability. The ISL9120IIAZ-TR5654 datasheet confirms this value across all performance curves and application schematics.
Does the ISL9120IIAZ-TR5654 require external compensation components?
No, the ISL9120IIAZ-TR5654 is fully internally compensated and requires no external compensation network. Its adaptive PFM control architecture and integrated error amplifier are factory-tuned for stability with standard 10µF input and 22µF–47µF output ceramic capacitors. This simplifies design and reduces bill-of-materials - a key advantage confirmed in the "Applications Information" section of the FN8659 datasheet, which specifies only three mandatory external components for the adjustable version (inductor, CIN, COUT) plus two resistors for VOUT setting.
What protection features are integrated into the ISL9120IIAZ-TR5654?
The ISL9120IIAZ-TR5654 integrates undervoltage lockout (UVLO with 1.725V rising threshold), overtemperature shutdown (150°C trip, 35°C hysteresis), and soft-discharge (110Ω internal resistor activated on EN deassertion). It also includes reverse-current protection and current-limit detection within its adaptive PFM scheme. Notably, forced bypass mode disables overcurrent protection - users must ensure external current limiting or system-level safeguards are in place when operating the ISL9120IIAZ-TR5654 in that mode.
