Product details
Overview
ISL99140IRZ-T from Renesas (formerly Intersil) is a 40A DrMOS power module integrating high-side and low-side MOSFETs, gate driver, bootstrap diode, and thermal warning output. It supports 3-state 3.3V PWM input, diode emulation for light-load efficiency, adaptive shoot-through protection, and operates up to 2MHz switching frequency in core voltage regulation for microprocessors.
For engineers reviewing the ISL99140IRZ-T datasheet, ISL99140IRZ-T pinout, ISL99140IRZ-T application, or ISL99140IRZ-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 40A continuous current rating, 6×6 mm QFN package with exposed thermal pad, tri-state PWM compatibility with digital controllers (e.g., ISL68/69xxx, ZL8802), and thermal flag signaling at 150°C junction temperature.
Technical Context
The ISL99140IRZ-T implements a synchronous buck power stage with integrated FET driver logic that interprets 3-state PWM commands to control high-side (GH) and low-side (GL) MOSFETs. Its adaptive shoot-through protection monitors GH–SW and GL node voltages to enforce safe dead-time, while internal 20kΩ high-side gate-to-source resistor prevents self-turn-on during high dV/dt events on VIN.
Diode emulation is enabled via SMOD pin (active-low), allowing discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) entry at light loads with minimum GL on-time of 350ns. Thermal warning (THDN) is an open-drain output asserting low at 150°C junction temperature and clearing at 135°C, providing system-level thermal management without halting operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Average Output Current | 40A continuous - defines maximum sustained load current before thermal derating or shutdown |
| PWM Input Logic | 3-state 3.3V compatible - enables robust fault response with tri-state hold-off time of 75–225ns |
| Switching Frequency | Up to 2MHz - supports high-density VR designs with smaller magnetics and faster transient response |
| Thermal Warning Threshold | 150°C set / 135°C clear - provides 15°C hysteresis for stable thermal flag signaling without chatter |
| Package | 40-lead 6×6 mm QFN with exposed thermal pad - enables low θJC = 5°C/W for efficient heat transfer to PCB |
| Diode Emulation Control | SMOD pin with 10μA internal pull-up - allows immediate DCM activation or forced CCM by external logic |
| Bootstrap Diode | Integrated Schottky - eliminates external bootstrap diode, reducing BOM count and layout area |
Pinout & Package
ISL99140IRZ-T uses a 40-lead, 6×6 mm, 0.5 mm pitch thin quad flat no-lead (QFN) package with exposed thermal pad (PKG DWG L40.6x6A). The package features three ground domains: AGND (logic ground), PGND (power ground), and multiple VIN/SW/PHASE connections optimized for low-inductance power loop routing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 SMOD | Diode emulation enable | Active-low input; 10μA internal pull-up ensures CCM if left floating |
| 2 VCC | Logic bias supply | +5V ±5% supply for internal logic; requires local 1μF ceramic decoupling to AGND |
| 3 PVCC | Driver bias supply | +5V ±5% supply for gate drivers; shares decoupling capacitor with VCC in typical layout |
| 4 BOOT | High-side gate bootstrap | Floating supply for GH driver; requires 0.1–0.22μF ceramic cap to PHASE |
| 5,37,PAD1 AGND | Logic ground return | Direct connection to system ground plane; separate from PGND to minimize noise coupling |
| 6 GH | High-side gate drive output | Test/monitor point only; no external connection required |
| 7 PHASE | Bootstrap return node | Internally tied to SW; external connection not needed |
| 8–14, PAD2 VIN | Main power input | 10× parallel connections for low-impedance 12V input path; requires multiple 10μF + 0.1μF ceramics to PGND |
| 15–35, PAD3 SW | Switch node | 11× parallel connections to inductor; carries full AC switching current; must be routed short and wide |
| 16–28 PGND | Power ground return | 13× parallel connections to system ground plane; critical for thermal and EMI performance |
| 36 GL | Low-side gate drive output | Test/monitor point only; no external connection required |
| 38 THDN | Thermal warning flag | Open-drain output; pulls low at 150°C junction temp; requires external pull-up resistor |
| 39 EN | Enable input | 2μA internal weak pull-down; high = active, low = force both FETs off regardless of PWM state |
| 40 PWM | Three-state PWM input | Accepts 3.3V logic with tri-state window (1.1–1.5V rising / 1.6–1.95V falling); compatible with ISL68/69xxx and ZL8802 |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Intel DrMOS Rev 4.0 Compliant | Meets specification for multiphase VRM/VRD applications including timing, interface, and thermal behavior |
| Adaptive Shoot-Through Protection | Dynamically adjusts dead-time based on GH–SW and GL node transitions to prevent cross-conduction under varying load and temperature |
| Integrated Bootstrap Schottky Diode | Eliminates discrete bootstrap diode, reducing component count and PCB area while maintaining reliable high-side gate drive |
| Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) | Enables operation only when VCC exceeds 3.40V and disables below 2.92V, preventing erratic gate drive during brown-out |
| High dV/dt Immunity | Integrated 20kΩ high-side gate-to-source resistor suppresses false turn-on during fast-rising VIN transients |

|---|---|---|---|
| ISL99227BIRZ-T | 60A rating, adds IMON/TMON/OCP flags, 5×5 mm package, supports 3.3V and 5V PWM | Targeted at higher-current CPU cores and systems requiring current monitoring and over-temperature reporting | Select ISL99227BIRZ-T when >40A per phase or additional telemetry (IMON, TMON) is required; not pin-compatible due to different pin count and layout |
| SiC454CD-T1-GE3 | 40A rating, 3.3V PWM, integrated current sense, 6×6 mm QFN, RoHS-compliant | Designed for enterprise SSDs and telecom POL where current sensing and tighter DC accuracy are prioritized | Choose SiC454CD-T1-GE3 if integrated current sense (±1.5% gain error) and lower quiescent current (120μA VCC standby) are critical; pinout differs in SW/VIN distribution |
Compared with ISL99140IRZ-T, ISL99227BIRZ-T offers higher current and telemetry but requires PCB redesign, while SiC454CD-T1-GE3 provides current sensing at similar current rating but with distinct pin assignment and no thermal warning output.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current supported by the ISL99140IRZ-T?
The ISL99140IRZ-T supports 40A average output current continuously under proper thermal management. This rating assumes adequate PCB copper area, airflow, and adherence to recommended operating conditions including ambient temperature ≤+85°C and junction temperature ≤+125°C. Derating applies above 85°C ambient or with insufficient heatsinking.
Does the ISL99140IRZ-T require an external bootstrap diode?
No, the ISL99140IRZ-T integrates a Schottky bootstrap diode internally. This eliminates the need for an external diode, simplifying layout and reducing BOM count. A 0.1–0.22μF ceramic capacitor must still be placed between BOOT and PHASE pins, and a series resistor (1.5–3.9Ω) is recommended for high-VIN applications to limit peak bootstrap current.
How does the thermal warning (THDN) pin function on the ISL99140IRZ-T?
The THDN pin on the ISL99140IRZ-T is an open-drain output that asserts low when the internal junction temperature reaches 150°C and clears (goes high-impedance) when temperature drops to 135°C. It does not shut down the device but signals impending thermal failure to the controller, enabling system-level thermal management. An external pull-up resistor is required.
Can the ISL99140IRZ-T operate with a 5V PWM controller?
The ISL99140IRZ-T is designed for 3.3V PWM logic and is not compatible with 5V PWM controllers such as the ISL637x family. Its tri-state thresholds (1.1–1.5V rising / 1.6–1.95V falling) are optimized for 3.3V systems. For 5V PWM compatibility, use the ISL99125B or ISL99135B families instead.
What is the purpose of the SMOD pin on the ISL99140IRZ-T?
The SMOD pin on the ISL99140IRZ-T controls diode emulation mode: pulled low to enable DCM for improved light-load efficiency, or held high to force continuous conduction mode (CCM). With 10μA internal pull-up, leaving SMOD unconnected defaults to CCM. Response is immediate upon state change, independent of PWM timing.
