Product details
Overview
ISL97656IRTZ-TK from Intersil is a high-frequency, non-synchronous step-up DC/DC regulator with an integrated 4.0A/120mΩ low-side MOSFET, 640kHz or 1.22MHz selectable switching frequency, 2.2V–6.0V input range, and 1.1×VIN to 24V output range-designed for TFT-LCD bias supplies in portable displays.
For engineers reviewing the ISL97656IRTZ-TK datasheet, ISL97656IRTZ-TK pinout, ISL97656IRTZ-TK application, or ISL97656IRTZ-TK equivalent, key selection criteria include peak current limit (4.0A), feedback reference voltage (1.24V), shutdown current (<1µA), thermal protection (150°C), and TDFN-10 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The ISL97656IRTZ-TK uses current-mode PWM control with internal oscillator and transconductance error amplifier for stable loop compensation. Its dual-frequency selection (640kHz/1.22MHz) enables trade-offs between inductor size and transient response speed.
It integrates a 4.0A low-side MOSFET with 120mΩ rDS(ON) at VIN = 2.7V, supports adjustable soft-start via external capacitor on SS pin, and features internal thermal shutdown at 150°C. The COMP pin allows full external RC network tuning of voltage-loop stability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.2V to 6.0V - supports single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2V) and dual-cell alkaline/NiMH (2.2–4.8V) inputs without pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage Range | 1.1×VIN to 24V - enables programmable bias generation for TFT-LCD gate drivers and LED strings up to 24V. |
| Switching Frequency | 640kHz or 1.22MHz - selectable via FREQ pin; higher frequency reduces inductor size (e.g., 2.2µH vs. 10µH) and improves load transient response. |
| Peak Switch Current Limit | 3.8A (min) to 5.1A (max) - sets maximum deliverable output current under worst-case conditions; guarantees ≥3.8A across temperature. |
| Feedback Reference Voltage | 1.24V (±20mV) - defines precision output regulation point; used with resistor divider to set VOUT = 1.24V × (1 + R1/R2). |
| Shutdown Supply Current | <1µA - ensures ultra-low quiescent power in battery-powered standby modes, extending system sleep time. |
| Thermal Shutdown Threshold | 150°C - protects against sustained overload or poor heatsinking; device resumes operation after junction cools below hysteresis threshold. |
Pinout & Package
ISL97656IRTZ-TK is housed in a 10-lead Thin Dual Flat No-lead (TDFN) package (3.0mm × 3.0mm × 0.8mm max height) with exposed thermal pad for enhanced heat dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (COMP) | Error amplifier output | Connects external RC network to set loop compensation poles/zeros; critical for stability with ceramic output capacitors. |
| 2 (FB) | Voltage feedback input | Senses divided output voltage; internal 1.24V reference enables precise output regulation independent of input or load variation. |
| 3 (EN) | Enable control input | Logic-level active-high enable; pulls device into <1µA shutdown when low; supports system-level power sequencing. |
| 4,5 (GND) | Power ground return | Dual GND pins minimize ground impedance; must be connected to low-impedance PCB ground plane beneath exposed pad. |
| 6,7 (LX) | Switch node | Drain connection of internal 4.0A MOSFET; carries high di/dt switching current; requires short, wide copper pour to reduce EMI. |
| 8 (VIN) | Analog input supply | Primary power input (2.2–6.0V); requires local 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed within 2mm of pin. |
| 9 (FREQ) | Frequency select | Ground = 640kHz; tied to VIN = 1.22MHz - no external components needed for frequency configuration. |
| 10 (SS) | Soft-start control | Internal 4.5µA current source charges external capacitor to ramp output voltage linearly, limiting inrush current during startup. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 4.0A/120mΩ low-side MOSFET | Eliminates external switch and driver; reduces BOM count and layout area while maintaining >90% efficiency at 1A load. |
| Selectable 640kHz / 1.22MHz switching | Enables optimization of magnetic component size and transient performance without changing IC or layout. |
| Adjustable soft-start via SS pin | External capacitor sets output voltage slew rate, preventing overshoot and reducing stress on downstream capacitors and loads. |
| Internal thermal protection | Automatically disables switching at 150°C junction temperature; prevents permanent damage during overloads or poor thermal design. |
| 0.8mm max height TDFN-10 package | Supports ultra-thin portable designs (e.g., handheld displays, digital cameras) where Z-height is constrained to <1.1mm. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar boost regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS61088RHLR | Synchronous topology; 10A switch; fixed 500kHz/2.2MHz; no FREQ pin; higher IQ (20µA in shutdown) | Better efficiency above 1.5A; supports wider VIN (2.7–12V); not suitable for sub-2.7V inputs like single alkaline cells | Choose TPS61088RHLR for higher output current (>2A) or synchronous efficiency needs; ISL97656IRTZ-TK preferred for 2.2V start-up and smaller solution size at ≤1.5A. |
| MAX17065ETA+ | Non-synchronous; 3A switch; fixed 1.2MHz; no soft-start adjustment; 1.25V FB reference; 10-pin TDFN same footprint | Limited output voltage headroom (up to 18V); lacks frequency selection and external compensation flexibility | Choose MAX17065ETA+ only if 3A current limit suffices and design can accept fixed 1.2MHz + no COMP tuning; ISL97656IRTZ-TK offers broader VOUT range and design adaptability. |
Compared with TPS61088RHLR and MAX17065ETA+, the ISL97656IRTZ-TK uniquely supports 2.2V start-up, dual-frequency selection, and full external loop compensation-making it optimal for space-constrained, low-input-voltage TFT-LCD and portable imaging applications requiring design flexibility and thermal robustness.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for ISL97656IRTZ-TK to start switching?
The ISL97656IRTZ-TK has a VIN UVLO rising threshold of 2.10V (typical) with 50mV hysteresis, allowing reliable startup from 2.2V sources such as single alkaline or NiMH cells. Below 2.00V, the device remains in undervoltage lockout and draws <1µA, ensuring no erratic behavior during brown-out conditions. This makes ISL97656IRTZ-TK suitable for legacy battery-powered portable equipment where deep discharge tolerance is required.
Can ISL97656IRTZ-TK generate output voltages above 24V?
No-ISL97656IRTZ-TK is specified for outputs up to 24V per absolute maximum ratings (LX to GND ≤ 26V). For >24V applications, Intersil's datasheet explicitly recommends using an external cascaded N-channel MOSFET as shown in Figure 16, where the ISL97656IRTZ-TK drives the gate of the external FET. Direct operation beyond 24V risks LX pin overstress and permanent failure; ISL97656IRTZ-TK must not be used outside its rated voltage limits.
How does the FREQ pin affect inductor selection for ISL97656IRTZ-TK?
When FREQ = GND (640kHz), recommended inductors range from 4.7µH to 10µH; when FREQ = VIN (1.22MHz), 2.2µH to 4.7µH is typical. Higher frequency reduces required inductance by ~2×, enabling smaller magnetics and lower core losses-but increases AC resistance losses and EMI filtering demands. The ISL97656IRTZ-TK's dual-frequency capability lets designers optimize for size (1.22MHz) or efficiency (640kHz) without changing ICs.
What is the purpose of the COMP pin on ISL97656IRTZ-TK, and how is it configured?
The COMP pin is the output of the internal transconductance error amplifier and serves as the control node for external loop compensation. It requires a series RC network (e.g., 1kΩ + 4.7nF) from COMP to GND to set dominant pole and zero for stable voltage-loop response. This flexibility allows tuning for different output capacitors (ceramic vs. tantalum) and load dynamics-unlike fixed-compensation regulators. Proper COMP network design is essential to prevent oscillation or sluggish transient response in the ISL97656IRTZ-TK.
Does ISL97656IRTZ-TK require an external Schottky diode, and what are its key specifications?
Yes-ISL97656IRTZ-TK is a non-synchronous boost regulator and requires an external Schottky diode. Per datasheet guidance, the diode must handle ≥4.0A peak current, have reverse breakdown >24V (e.g., 30V rating), low forward voltage (<0.6V @ 2A), and fast recovery (<50ns). Recommended parts include Vishay VSK320 or ON Semiconductor MBR2030CT. Omitting or underspecifying the diode causes excessive conduction loss, thermal runaway, and potential ISL97656IRTZ-TK failure.
