Product details
Overview
ISL95808HRZ-T from Intersil is a high-voltage, dual N-channel synchronous buck MOSFET driver optimized for mobile CPU core voltage regulation. It delivers 4A typical sink current on the lower gate, supports up to 2MHz switching, integrates adaptive shoot-through protection and diode emulation, and operates with 5V ±10% supply in -10°C to +100°C ambient - enabling high-efficiency, thermally robust power delivery for Intel® and AMD™ mobile microprocessors.
For engineers reviewing the ISL95808HRZ-T datasheet, ISL95808HRZ-T pinout, ISL95808HRZ-T application, or ISL95808HRZ-T equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed package mapping to 8-lead 2×2 DFN (L8.2x2D), real-world timing behavior under 3nF load, and two rigorously cross-checked alternative drivers for synchronous buck topologies.
Technical Context
The ISL95808HRZ-T implements adaptive shoot-through protection by monitoring LGATE and UGATE-to-PHASE voltages, releasing the opposing gate only after the driven gate falls below 1V. Its three-state PWM input enables controlled shutdown during CPU sleep states, eliminating need for external Schottky clamping diodes.
Diode emulation is activated via FCCM pin low state, allowing detection of inductor zero-current crossing and forced discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) without PWM synchronization. Internal bootstrap Schottky diode (0.55V typ @ 2mA) enables compact high-side drive with external BOOT–PHASE capacitor.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Supply | 5V ±10% - matches standard bias rail shared with Intersil multiphase PWM controllers |
| Lower Gate Sink Current | 4A typical - prevents shoot-through during high dv/dt phase node transitions |
| Switching Frequency Support | Up to 2MHz - enables ultra-small output filter components in space-constrained mobile designs |
| Propagation Delay (LGATE) | 25ns max turn-off - ensures precise timing control in multi-phase VR12/VR13 systems |
| Rise/Fall Time (3nF load) | <10ns - minimizes switching losses in high-current, low-VOUT buck stages |
| Shutdown Supply Current | 3.3µA typ @ 5V - meets stringent platform idle-power requirements for mobile SoC power rails |
| Operating Temp Range | -10°C to +100°C - qualified for high-temp commercial mobile computing environments |
Pinout & Package
ISL95808HRZ-T is housed in an 8-lead 2×2 mm DFN package (L8.2x2D) with exposed thermal pad, RoHS-compliant, MSL3 per JEDEC J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 UGATE | Upper gate drive output | Drives gate of high-side N-MOSFET; referenced to PHASE node |
| 2 BOOT | Floating bootstrap supply | Provides charge path for high-side drive via external capacitor to PHASE |
| 3 PWM | Three-state control input | Enables/disables both drivers; mid-supply idle state prevents unintended operation |
| 4 GND | Power ground reference | Return path for VCC, gate drivers, and internal logic; tied to thermal pad |
| 5 LGATE | Lower gate drive output | Drives gate of low-side N-MOSFET; referenced to GND; 0.5Ω sink RDS(on) |
| 6 VCC | +5V bias supply input | Must share common 5V rail with Intersil PWM controller; bypassed with high-quality capacitor |
| 7 FCCM | Diode emulation control | LOW = enable DCM/light-load efficiency; HIGH = force CCM; high-Z = shutdown |
| 8 PHASE | Half-bridge switching node | Connects to source of upper MOSFET and drain of lower MOSFET; return for UGATE drive |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adaptive shoot-through protection | Prevents simultaneous conduction by sequencing UGATE/LGATE based on real-time gate voltage thresholds (1V detection) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck gate driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISL6612ACRZ-T | Single-channel, 4A sink, no diode emulation or FCCM pin; 16-pin QFN; lacks three-state PWM | Requires external Schottky for PS4 shutdown; limited to simpler single-phase or non-PS4 systems | Choose when cost-sensitive single-phase design does not require DCM or advanced CPU sleep sequencing |
| MP8765GQ-Z | Monolithic 30V/6A buck converter IC; integrates controller + drivers + FETs; no external gate drive flexibility | Not a driver-only replacement; replaces entire power stage; no support for multiphase or discrete FET selection | Choose only if replacing complete regulator stage - not suitable as direct functional or pin-compatible substitute for ISL95808HRZ-T |

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable phase node voltage stress for ISL95808HRZ-T?
The ISL95808HRZ-T supports PHASE node voltage up to 30V DC and withstands -7V undershoot (GND - 7V) when BOOT is at GND. This 30V rating aligns with standard 30V breakdown N-MOSFETs used in mobile CPU power supplies, ensuring safe operation during transient events without external clamping.
How does the ISL95808HRZ-T implement adaptive shoot-through protection?
The ISL95808HRZ-T monitors LGATE voltage during turn-off and delays UGATE activation until LGATE falls below 1V. During UGATE turn-off, it similarly monitors UGATE-to-PHASE voltage and delays LGATE turn-on until that voltage drops below 1V. This real-time, voltage-threshold-based sequencing prevents simultaneous conduction in the half-bridge.
Can ISL95808HRZ-T operate without an external bootstrap capacitor?
No. The ISL95808HRZ-T requires an external capacitor between BOOT and PHASE pins to charge the floating high-side supply. The internal Schottky diode enables charging but does not replace the capacitor. Minimum capacitance depends on gate charge and allowable droop; e.g., 25nC gate charge with 200mV droop requires ≥0.125µF.
What is the function of the FCCM pin on ISL95808HRZ-T?
The FCCM pin controls diode emulation mode: LOW enables discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) by detecting inductor zero-current crossing and turning off LGATE; HIGH forces continuous conduction mode (CCM); high-impedance state shuts down the ISL95808HRZ-T entirely. It directly determines light-load efficiency behavior.
Is ISL95808HRZ-T pin-compatible with ISL95808IRZ-T?
Yes. Both ISL95808HRZ-T and ISL95808IRZ-T use identical 8-lead 2×2 DFN (L8.2x2D) packaging and share identical pinout, electrical specifications, and functionality. The sole difference is temperature rating: HRZ-T is rated for -10°C to +100°C, while IRZ-T extends to -40°C to +100°C for industrial applications.
