Product details
Overview
ISL9120IIAZ-TR5696 from Renesas Electronics is an adjustable-output buck-boost switching regulator IC designed for low-power portable systems. It accepts 1.8V–5.5V input and delivers up to 800mA output current with automatic buck/boost mode transition, forced bypass functionality (≤3.5µA quiescent current), and 98% peak efficiency. It operates in smartphones, wearables, and battery-powered IoT sensors where input voltage may dip below or rise above the regulated output.
For engineers reviewing the ISL9120IIAZ-TR5696 datasheet, ISL9120IIAZ-TR5696 pinout, ISL9120IIAZ-TR5696 application, or ISL9120IIAZ-TR5696 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.41mm×1.41mm WLCSP package, adjustable 1.0V–5.2V output via resistor divider, adaptive PFM control, thermal shutdown at +150°C, and dual ground (GND/PGND) separation for noise-sensitive analog circuits.
Technical Context
The ISL9120IIAZ-TR5696 implements a four-switch buck-boost topology with integrated P-channel and N-channel MOSFETs (rDSON = 50mΩ 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 load demand.
It features separate analog (GND) and power (PGND) ground pins, a dedicated BYP pin for forced bypass mode activation, and soft-discharge (110Ω internal resistor) upon EN deactivation. The device uses a 0.8V internal reference and supports external feedback via FB pin for precise output programming.
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 stacks without pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage Range | 1.0V to 5.2V - programmable via external resistor divider; fixed 3.3V version uses VOUT-to-FB short. |
| Max Output Current | 800mA at VIN=2.5V, VOUT=3.3V - sufficient for PMIC subsystems, RF front-ends, or sensor hubs. |
| Quiescent Current | 41µA in regulation mode; ≤3.5µA in forced bypass - extends battery life during standby/sleep states. |
| Efficiency | Up to 98% - minimizes thermal dissipation in space-constrained WLCSP footprint. |
| Package | 1.41mm × 1.41mm 9-bump WLCSP - enables ultra-compact PCB layouts for thin mobile devices. |
| Thermal Shutdown | +150°C with +35°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |
Pinout & Package
ISL9120IIAZ-TR5696 uses a RoHS-compliant 9-bump Wafer-Level Chip-Scale Package (WLCSP) with 0.4mm pitch, measuring 1.41mm × 1.41mm. The bottom-view pin layout follows a 3×3 array (pins A1–C3), with solder balls arranged in standard W3x3.9E footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| LX1 (A1) | Inductor input-side connection | Connects to one end of external 1µH inductor; carries high-frequency switching current in both buck and boost phases. |
| VIN (A2) | Main power input | Accepts 1.8V–5.5V supply; requires 10µF ceramic capacitor to PGND for stability and EMI suppression. |
| BYP (A3) | Forced bypass mode enable | Logic HIGH activates direct VIN-to-VOUT path (no regulation); logic LOW enables normal buck-boost operation. |
| LX2 (C1) | Inductor output-side connection | Connects to second end of inductor; completes buck-boost power loop with LX1 and internal switches. |
| VOUT (C2) | Regulated output | Delivers programmed output voltage; requires 22µF–47µF ceramic capacitor to PGND for ripple reduction. |
| FB (C3) | Feedback input | Monitors output via external resistor divider; sets VOUT = 0.8V × (1 + R1/R2) for adjustable versions like ISL9120IIAZ-TR5696. |
| PGND (B1) | Power ground | Return path for high-current switching loops; must be low-inductance copper plane connected directly to C1/C2 grounds. |
| EN (B2) | Enable control | Active-HIGH logic input; drives LOW to disable regulator and activate soft-discharge (110Ω to GND). |
| GND (B3) | Analog ground | Reference for internal comparators and reference circuitry; isolated from PGND to prevent noise coupling into feedback path. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic buck/boost mode transition | Seamless switching without output voltage glitch when VIN crosses VOUT - eliminates need for external supervision or sequencing. |
| Forced bypass mode | Direct VIN-to-VOUT conduction with ≤3.5µA IQ - ideal for powering downstream LDOs in deep-sleep states. |
| Adaptive multilevel current limit | 32-step peak current adjustment (350mA–2A) - optimizes switching frequency and conduction losses across light-to-heavy loads. |
| Dual ground architecture | Separate GND (analog reference) and PGND (high-current return) - prevents ground bounce from corrupting feedback accuracy. |
| Integrated soft-start and soft-discharge | 1ms typical soft-start delay + ramped reference; 110Ω internal discharge resistor - controls inrush current and ensures safe output collapse on shutdown. |
Applications
| Smartphone Power Management | Wearable Health Sensor Hub |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck-boost regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Texas Instruments TPS63020DSJR | Fixed 3.3V output only; no adjustable version; 96% max efficiency; 2.5V–5.5V input; 1.2mm × 1.6mm QFN-10 package. | Not suitable for designs requiring programmable output voltage; larger footprint than ISL9120IIAZ-TR5696's WLCSP. | Select if fixed 3.3V output suffices and QFN assembly is preferred over WLCSP reflow. |
| Analog Devices ADP5070ACPZ-R7 | Requires external compensation; higher IQ (120µA); 2.85V–15V input; 16-lead LFCSP; supports negative output generation. | Targeted at precision bipolar supplies, not ultra-low-IQ portable applications; lacks automatic bypass mode. | Select only for dual-rail (±VOUT) designs where ISL9120IIAZ-TR5696's single positive output is insufficient. |
Compared with TPS63020DSJR and ADP5070ACPZ-R7, ISL9120IIAZ-TR5696 uniquely combines adjustable output, sub-4µA bypass IQ, 1.41mm² WLCSP size, and automatic buck/boost transition - making it optimal for space- and battery-life-constrained portable electronics.

FAQ
What output voltage range does the ISL9120IIAZ-TR5696 support?
The ISL9120IIAZ-TR5696 supports an adjustable output voltage range of 1.0V to 5.2V, set using an external resistor divider connected to the FB pin. Its internal 0.8V reference enables precise programming per the equation VOUT = 0.8V × (1 + R1/R2). This flexibility allows the ISL9120IIAZ-TR5696 to replace multiple fixed-output regulators in multi-rail systems.
How does the forced bypass mode function in the ISL9120IIAZ-TR5696?
When the BYP pin is driven HIGH, the ISL9120IIAZ-TR5696 engages forced bypass mode, creating a direct conductive path from VIN to VOUT through internal MOSFETs and the external inductor. In this state, regulation is disabled and quiescent current drops to ≤3.5µA. The ISL9120IIAZ-TR5696 requires ≥800µs minimum dwell time in bypass mode and ≥1ms recovery before re-entry.
What is the recommended inductor value for the ISL9120IIAZ-TR5696?
Renesas specifies a 1µH shielded ferrite inductor with ≥2A saturation current and low DCR for the ISL9120IIAZ-TR5696. Recommended vendors include TDK (TFM201610GHM-1R0MTAA), Toko (DFE201610R-H-1R0M), and Cyntec (PIFE20161T-1R0MS). The inductor must be placed adjacent to the IC with short, low-inductance traces to LX1 and LX2 to minimize EMI.
Does the ISL9120IIAZ-TR5696 require separate input and output capacitors?
Yes - the ISL9120IIAZ-TR5696 requires a 10µF X5R ceramic input capacitor (0603, 10V rating) placed close to VIN and PGND, plus a 22µF or 47µF X5R ceramic output capacitor (0603, 6.3V or 10V rating) connected between VOUT and PGND. These values are validated for stability, ripple suppression, and transient response across the full operating range of the ISL9120IIAZ-TR5696.
What protection features are integrated into the ISL9120IIAZ-TR5696?
The ISL9120IIAZ-TR5696 integrates undervoltage lockout (UVLO, 1.725V rising threshold), overtemperature shutdown (+150°C with +35°C hysteresis), and soft-discharge (110Ω internal resistor activated on EN deassertion). It also includes reverse-current prevention and anti-shoot-through logic for gate drivers - all implemented without external components.
