High Efficiency Buck-Boost Regulator with 4.5A Switches
The ISL91127 is a high-current, buck-boost switching regulator
for systems using new battery chemistries. It uses the Renesas
proprietary buck-boost algorithm to maintain voltage
regulation while providing excellent efficiency and very low
output voltage ripple when the input voltage is close to the
output voltage.
Features
• 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
The ISL91127 can deliver at least 2.1A continuous output
current (V
= 3.3V) across a battery voltage range of 2.5V to
OUT
• Continuous output current: up to 2.1A (PVIN = 2.5V,
4.35V. This maximizes the energy utilization of advanced,
single-cell Li-ion battery chemistries that have significant
capacity left at voltages below the system voltage. Its fully
synchronous low ON-resistance 4-switch architecture and a low
quiescent current of only 30µA optimize efficiency under all
load conditions.
V
= 3.3V)
OUT
• High efficiency: up to 96%
• 30µA quiescent current maximizes light-load efficiency
• 2.5MHz switching frequency minimizes external component
size
The ISL91127 supports stand-alone applications with a fixed
3.3V or 3.5V output voltage or adjustable output voltage with
an external resistor divider. Output voltages as low as 1V or as
high as 5.2V are supported.
• Fully protected for short-circuit, over-temperature, and
undervoltage
• Small 2.15mmx1.74mm WLCSP
The ISL91127 is available in a 20 bump, 0.4mm pitch WLCSP
(2.15mmx1.74mm) with a 2.5MHz switching frequency, which
further reduces the size of external components.
Applications
• Brownout-free system voltage for smartphones and tablet
PCs
