Product details
Overview
P9122-00NBGI8 from Renesas Electronics (formerly IDT) is a dual-channel synchronous step-down power management IC with integrated high- and low-side MOSFETs, delivering 2A on Buck1 and 3A on Buck2 from a single 2.7V–5.5V input. It supports factory-programmable output voltages (0.8V–3.4V), 2MHz switching frequency, and configurable Buck/Switch mode for VOUT2 - used in SSD power rails, portable gaming systems, and USB-powered set-top boxes.
For engineers reviewing the P9122-00NBGI8 datasheet, P9122-00NBGI8 pinout, P9122-00NBGI8 application, or P9122-00NBGI8 equivalent, key selection criteria include per-channel current capability (2A/3A), OTP-configurable sequencing, thermal shutdown at 135°C, QFN-24 4×4mm package with exposed pad, and support for both PFM/PWM and forced PWM operation across -40°C to +85°C ambient.
Technical Context
The P9122-00NBGI8 integrates two independent buck regulators sharing a common VIN supply but with separate PVIN1/PVIN2 inputs and dedicated LX/PGND paths. Buck2's function is dynamically reconfigurable via VINSEL pin: logic low enables standard buck regulation; logic high configures it as a switch-mode pass element with VPVIN2 input routed to VOUT2.
Operation includes three power states (ON, SLEEP, STANDBY) controlled by DEVSLPIN and GPIO14, plus four OTP-programmable control modes (Mode 0–3) governing enable logic, sequencing order, PORB generation, and PG signal routing - all implemented via one-time programmable fuse banks T2 and T3 without external configuration pins.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V–5.5V - supports direct connection to 3.3V or 5V system rails without pre-regulation. |
| Buck1 Output Current | 2A continuous - sufficient for core voltage rail of low-power SoCs or DDR memory termination. |
| Buck2 Output Current | 3A continuous in Buck mode - enables main I/O or interface rail in SSD or portable devices. |
| Switching Frequency | 2MHz ±5% - allows use of compact 1μH inductors and reduces output capacitor count. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.8V–3.4V in 25mV steps - covers standard logic I/O (1.8V, 3.3V), DDR (1.2V, 1.35V), and analog subsystems. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 135°C junction - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design in sealed enclosures. |
| Quiescent Current | <1μA in sleep mode - extends battery life in always-on standby applications like remote controls or sensors. |
Pinout & Package
Package: QFN-24, 4mm × 4mm × 0.75mm body height, 2.8mm × 2.8mm exposed thermal pad (EP), RoHS-compliant, MSL3.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN, Pins 10 & 24 | Device supply input | Powers internal logic, bias circuits, and gate drivers; requires 2.2μF X7R ceramic bypass close to pin. |
| PVIN1, Pin 9 | Buck1 power input | Supplies high-side/low-side FETs for Buck1; must be decoupled with ≥10μF X7R capacitor. |
| PVIN2, Pins 22 & 23 | Buck2 power input | Supplies Buck2 FETs; dual-pin layout supports higher current delivery and lower impedance path. |
| VINSEL, Pin 4 | Function select input | Logic level determines Buck2 operating mode: LOW = buck regulator, HIGH = switch-mode pass element. |
| DEVSLPIN, Pin 5 | Sleep mode control | Active-HIGH entry into ultra-low-IQ sleep state; disables both regulators while retaining OTP and register state. |
| FB1 / FB2, Pins 6 & 18 | Output voltage feedback | Direct connection point for closed-loop regulation; no external resistor divider needed due to factory-programmed reference. |
| LX1 / LX2, Pins 7 & 20–21 | Switch node outputs | Connect to 1μH inductors; high dv/dt nodes requiring short, low-inductance PCB traces and ground shielding. |
| GPIO14–17 / GPI3 / GPO16, Pins 14–17, 3, 16 | Configurable I/O | Multi-function pins supporting enable, power-good, POR, sequencing, and standby control - behavior defined by OTP Mode[1:0]. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual integrated FET buck regulators | Eliminates 4 external MOSFETs and associated gate drive circuitry - reduces BOM count and layout area by >30% vs discrete solutions. |
| Factory-programmable output voltages | OTP-configured VOUT1/VOUT2 from 0.8V–3.4V in 25mV steps - enables single SKU to serve multiple end-product variants without hardware change. |
| Selectable Buck/Switch mode for Buck2 | Enables flexible power architecture: Buck mode for regulated 3.3V rail; Switch mode for low-dropout pass-through of 3.3V input to VOUT2 with minimal voltage loss. |
| Configurable sequencing and power-good signaling | Four OTP-defined control modes (Mode 0–3) support individual enable, master-enable with delay, and standby-aware ramp-up/down - critical for multi-rail SoC boot compliance. |
| Ultra-low sleep quiescent current | <1μA device IQ in sleep mode - extends runtime in battery-backed applications such as SSDs during host suspend states. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-output buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS65023RSBR | Triple-output PMIC (2 buck + 1 LDO); fixed 1.2V/1.5V/1.8V outputs; no OTP programming; 3MHz switching. | Targeted at OMAP3-based embedded systems; lacks Buck2 switch-mode option and programmable sequencing delays. | Choose when fixed-voltage, triple-rail support is required and OTP flexibility is unnecessary. |
| RTQ2132BGQW | Dual 3A/3A buck with I²C interface, real-time telemetry, and adaptive COT control; 2.5V–5.5V input; QFN-26 package. | Designed for cloud-edge AI modules requiring telemetry and dynamic loop adjustment; no VINSEL-based switch-mode mode. | Choose when digital interface, load transient response monitoring, or higher current symmetry is prioritized over OTP-based cost optimization. |
Compared with TPS65023RSBR and RTQ2132BGQW, the P9122-00NBGI8 uniquely combines OTP-programmable voltages, VINSEL-configurable Buck2 functionality, and sub-μA sleep IQ in a 24-pin QFN - making it optimal for high-volume, cost-sensitive, and thermally constrained portable designs where hardware configurability replaces firmware overhead.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current supported by each channel of the P9122-00NBGI8?
The P9122-00NBGI8 delivers up to 2A continuously on Buck1 and 3A continuously on Buck2 under TJ < 115°C conditions. These ratings assume proper PCB thermal design with the exposed pad soldered to a 4-layer board using a 3×3 thermal via array, as specified in the thermal characterization data (θJA = 40°C/W). Derating applies above 85°C ambient.
How is output voltage configured on the P9122-00NBGI8, and can it be changed after soldering?
Output voltage on the P9122-00NBGI8 is factory-programmed into one-time programmable (OTP) memory during final test - supporting 0.8V to 3.4V in 25mV increments for both VOUT1 and VOUT2. Once programmed, the values are permanent and cannot be altered in-circuit. Evaluation units may be reprogrammed using the IDTP9122-EVAL kit and GUI software prior to production release.
Does the P9122-00NBGI8 support power sequencing between its two outputs, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the P9122-00NBGI8 supports programmable power sequencing via OTP configuration (Mode 2 or Mode 3). Sequencing delays (0.5ms–4ms) and order (e.g., Buck2 → Buck1, Buck1 → wait → Buck2) are defined in OTP banks T2 and T3. The device uses internal state machines - not external timers - to execute ramp-up/ramp-down sequences, with PG signals indicating rail readiness.
What is the function of the VINSEL pin on the P9122-00NBGI8, and how does it affect Buck2 operation?
The VINSEL pin (Pin 4) selects Buck2's operational mode: logic LOW configures it as a standard synchronous buck regulator (0.8V–3.4V output); logic HIGH configures it as a switch-mode pass element, routing VPVIN2 directly to VOUT2 with minimal dropout (typ. <100mV at 2.4A). This dual-mode capability enables flexible system-level power architecture without adding external switches.
Can the P9122-00NBGI8 operate in forced PWM mode, and how is this enabled?
Yes, the P9122-00NBGI8 supports forced PWM mode for both Buck1 and Buck2, eliminating low-load PFM frequency variation and associated audio noise. This is enabled via OTP bits T2[2] (Buck1) and T2[8] (Buck2), which override the default auto-switching behavior. Forced PWM is recommended for noise-sensitive applications like audio codecs or RF front-ends where consistent switching frequency is critical.
