High Efficiency Buck-Boost Regulator with 4.2A Switches
ISL91108
Features
The ISL91108 is a highly-integrated buck-boost switching
regulator that accepts input voltages either above or below the
regulated output voltage. Unlike other buck-boost regulators,
this regulator automatically transitions between operating
modes without significant output disturbance.
• Accepts input voltages above or below regulated output
voltage
• Automatic and seamless transitions between buck and
boost modes
• Input voltage range: 1.8V to 5.5V
This device is capable of delivering up to 2.7A of burst current
• Output current: up to 1.6A DC (PVIN = 2.8V, V
OUT
= 3.3V)
(PVIN = 3V, V
= 3.3V), and provides excellent efficiency due

• Burst current: up to 2.7A (PVIN = 3V, V
<600µs, t = 4.6ms)

to its fully synchronous 4-switch architecture. No load
quiescent current of only 27.5µA also optimizes efficiency
under light-load conditions. Forced PWM and/or
synchronization to an external clock may also be selected for
noise sensitive applications.
OUT
• High efficiency: up to 95%
• 27.5µA quiescent current maximizes light load efficiency
• 2.6MHz switching frequency minimizes external component
size
The ISL91108 is designed for standalone applications and
supports a 3.3V fixed output voltage or variable output
voltages with an external resistor divider. Output voltages as
low as 1V or as high as 5.2V are supported using an external
resistor divider.
• Selectable forced PWM mode and external synchronization
• Fully protected for short-circuit, over-temperature, and
undervoltage
The ISL91108 requires only a single inductor and very few
external components. Power supply solution size is minimized
by a 2.34mmx1.72mm WLCSP and a 2.6MHz switching
frequency, which further reduces the size of external
components.
• Small 2.34mm x 1.72mm WLCSP
Applications
• Smartphones and tablets
• Wireless communication devices
• 2G/3G/4G power amplifiers
