Product details
Overview
ISL99125BDRZ-T from Renesas (formerly Intersil) is a 25A DrMOS power stage module integrating high-performance FET driver, high-side and low-side MOSFETs, and bootstrap diode in a single 3.5×5 mm QFN package. It delivers synchronous buck conversion with 5.0V three-state PWM input compatibility, diode emulation for light-load efficiency, and ultra-low 3µA shutdown current for IMVP8 PS4 compliance-designed for CPU core voltage regulation in high-density server VRMs.
For engineers reviewing the ISL99125BDRZ-T datasheet, ISL99125BDRZ-T pinout, ISL99125BDRZ-T application, or ISL99125BDRZ-T equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed thermal and switching specifications, and real-world alternative part comparisons for VRM design validation and BOM optimization.
Technical Context
The ISL99125BDRZ-T implements adaptive shoot-through protection that monitors GL and GH-to-SW voltages to enforce safe dead-time sequencing, preventing simultaneous conduction. Its integrated 20kΩ high-side gate-to-source resistor suppresses self-turn-on during high dv/dt on VIN, enhancing robustness in fast-switching applications up to 2MHz.
It supports tri-state PWM input logic compatible with 5.0V controllers (e.g., ISL68201, ISL9585x), enabling immediate MOSFET shutdown when PWM enters the 1.3–3.5V hold-off window. FCCM control allows dynamic selection between continuous conduction mode (CCM) and diode emulation (DCM), with zero-current detection and 350ns minimum LGATE on-time ensuring efficient light-load operation.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
ISL99125BDRZ-T uses a 24-lead 3.5×5 mm QFN package with dual exposed thermal pads (PAD1 and PAD2) for enhanced thermal performance. The package is RoHS-compliant, Pb-free, and MSL3 rated per J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PWM (Pin 1) | Three-state gate drive enable input | Accepts 5.0V logic; floating or mid-level (1.3–3.5V) forces tri-state shutdown; direct interface with ISL68201/ISL9585x controllers. |
| FCCM (Pin 2) | Diode emulation control input | LOW enables DCM for light-load efficiency; HIGH forces CCM; floating or mid-level triggers 3µA PS4 shutdown mode. |
| BOOT (Pin 3) | Bootstrap supply node | Connects to PHASE via 0.1–0.22µF X7R ceramic capacitor; powers high-side gate driver during HS-FET conduction. |
| GH (Pin 4) | High-side gate driver output | Internal connection only; no external load; used for probe-based timing verification or failure analysis. |
| PHASE (Pin 5) | Switch node return for bootstrap | Internally tied to SW; external connection unnecessary; defines reference for BOOT capacitor charging path. |
| VIN (Pins 6,7,8,22,PAD2) | Main power input | Multiple parallel connections reduce loop inductance; requires local 10µF+ X5R/X7R ceramic decoupling to GND. |
| GND (Pins 9–12,17–18,21,PAD1) | Power and logic ground return | 10 dedicated GND terminals minimize impedance; must connect directly to solid ground plane with multiple vias. |
| SW (Pins 13–16) | Switching node output | Direct connection point to output inductor; carries full load current and high di/dt; requires short, low-inductance routing. |
| GL (Pins 19–20) | Low-side gate driver output | Internal connection only; no external circuitry; used for oscilloscope monitoring of LS-FET timing. |
| VCC (Pins 23–24) | +5V bias supply | Requires 1µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor to GND; regulated 5V input powers internal logic and drivers. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Schottky bootstrap diode | Eliminates external discrete diode, reducing component count and improving reliability in high-frequency (>1MHz) buck topologies. |
| Adaptive shoot-through protection | Dynamically adjusts dead time based on real-time GH/GL/SW voltage transitions-no fixed delay tuning required across load or temperature. |
| Diode emulation with zero-current detection | Enables discontinuous conduction mode below ~3A load, boosting light-load efficiency by up to 4% vs. forced CCM operation. |
| IMVP8 PS4-compliant shutdown | 3µA quiescent current in FCCM-float state satisfies Intel's Platform State 4 specification for ultra-low-power idle modes. |
| Integrated 20kΩ high-side gate-to-source resistor | Prevents unintended turn-on during high dv/dt events on VIN, eliminating need for external gate clamping in noisy server environments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar DrMOS power stage applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISL99135BDRZ-T | 35A rating, identical pinout and control interface, same 3.5×5 QFN package | Higher current capability suits GPU or multi-core CPU VRMs where peak load exceeds 25A | Select ISL99135BDRZ-T when design margin requires ≥30A continuous output or future-proofing for higher TDP processors. |
| MP86957GQ-Z | 25A rating, 5V PWM input, but uses 4mm×4mm QFN-28 package and lacks FCCM-controlled diode emulation | Supports basic CCM operation only; no PS4 shutdown or zero-current detection for light-load optimization | Choose MP86957GQ-Z only if diode emulation and IMVP8 PS4 compliance are not required, and PCB layout accommodates larger footprint. |
Compared with ISL99125BDRZ-T, ISL99135BDRZ-T offers higher current headroom in identical form factor, while MP86957GQ-Z trades advanced light-load features for broader vendor availability-making ISL99125BDRZ-T optimal for IMVP8-compliant, space-constrained server VRMs demanding both efficiency and fast PS4 exit.

FAQ
What is the maximum switching frequency supported by the ISL99125BDRZ-T?
The ISL99125BDRZ-T supports switching frequencies up to 2MHz, as confirmed in the datasheet Features section and validated in Figure 11–12 efficiency plots. This enables use with small inductors and high-transient-response VRMs in space-constrained server and AI accelerator applications. Operation above 1MHz requires careful attention to PCB layout, especially BOOT-PHASE decoupling and SW node routing.
Does the ISL99125BDRZ-T support Intel IMVP8 PS4 shutdown mode?
Yes, the ISL99125BDRZ-T fully supports IMVP8 PS4 shutdown mode, drawing only 3µA supply current when the FCCM pin is left floating or held at mid-level (2.2–2.8V), as specified in Table "Electrical Specifications" on page 6. This ultra-low quiescent current enables compliant platform-level sleep states in modern server and client CPUs.
Can the ISL99125BDRZ-T be used with non-Intersil PWM controllers like the ISL6398?
Yes-the ISL99125BDRZ-T is compatible with ISL6398 and other 5.0V PWM controllers lacking an FCCM output. In such cases, the FCCM pin must be pulled to VCC (5V) to disable diode emulation and force continuous conduction mode, as documented in the "FCCM Operation" section on page 10. Tri-state PWM functionality remains fully operational.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the ISL99125BDRZ-T, and how is it measured?
The ISL99125BDRZ-T has a θJA of 10°C/W, measured per JESD51-2 on a high-effective thermal conductivity test board with "direct attach" features (Tech Brief TB379). This value assumes optimal PCB layout: 2oz copper, 6+ thermal vias under the exposed pad, and proper VIN/GND decoupling. Real-world θJA may vary ±20% depending on board stack-up and airflow.
Is the ISL99125BDRZ-T pin-compatible with the ISL99135BDRZ-T?
Yes, the ISL99125BDRZ-T and ISL99135BDRZ-T share identical 24-lead 3.5×5 mm QFN packaging, pinout, and control interface-including PWM, FCCM, BOOT, VCC, VIN, GND, SW, GH, GL, and PHASE assignments-as confirmed in the "Ordering Information" table (page 2) and "Pin Configuration" diagram (page 3). They are drop-in replacements except for current rating and thermal derating curves.
