DATASHEET
ISL8009A
1.5A Low Quiescent Current 1.6MHz High Efficiency Synchronous Buck Regulator
The ISL8009A is a high efficiency, monolithic, synchronous
step-down DC/DC regulator that can deliver up to 1.5A
continuous output current. It is optimized for generating low
output voltages down to 0.8V. The supply voltage range of 2.7V
to 5.5V allows for the use of single Li+cell, three NiMH cells or
a regulated 5V input. The ISL8009A uses current mode control
architecture to deliver very low duty cycle operation at high
frequency with fast transient response and excellent loop
stability. It has flexible operation mode selection of forced
PWM mode and automatic PFM/PWM with as low as 17µA
quiescent current, achieving high power conversion efficiency
under light load condition, hence maximizing battery life. High
1.6MHz pulse-width modulation (PWM) switching frequency
allows the use of small external components.
The ISL8009A integrates a pair of low ON-resistance
P-Channel and N-Channel internal MOSFETs to maximize
efficiency and minimize external component count. The 100%
duty-cycle operation allows less than 400mV dropout voltage
at 1.5A output current.
The ISL8009A offers a 2ms Power-On-Reset (POR) timer at
power-up. The timer output can be reset by RSI. When
shutdown, ISL8009A discharges the output capacitor through
a 100resistor. Other features include internal digital soft-
start, enable for power sequence, overcurrent protection, and
thermal shutdown.
The ISL8009A is offered in a 2mmx3mm 8 Ld DFN package
with 1mm maximum height. The complete converter occupies
less than 1cm
2
area.

Pin Descriptions
VIN
Input supply voltage. Connect a 10µF ceramic capacitor to power
ground.
VFB
Buck regulator output feedback. Connect to the output through a
resistor divider for adjustable output voltage (ISL8009A-ADJ). For
preset output voltage, connect this pin to the output.
EN
Regulator enable pin. Enable the output when driven to high.
Shutdown the chip and discharge output capacitor when driven to
low. Do not leave this pin floating.
RSI
This input resets the 2ms timer. When the output voltage is within
the PGOOD window, an internal timer is started and generates a
POR signal 2ms later when RSI is low. A high RSI resets POR and
RSI high to low transition restarts the internal counter if the
output voltage is within the window, otherwise the counter is reset
by the output voltage condition.
POR
2ms timer output. At power-up or EN HI, this output is a 2ms
delayed Power-Good signal for the output voltage. This output can
be reset by a low RSI signal. 2ms starts when RSI goes to high.
Exposed Pad
The exposed pad must be connected to the GND pin for proper
electrical performance. The exposed pad must also be connected
to as much as possible for optimal thermal performance.
SKIP
Mode Selection pin. Connect to logic high or input voltage VIN for
PFM mode; connect to logic low or ground for forced PWM mode.
Do not leave this pin floating.
LX
Switching node connection. Connect to one terminal of inductor.
GND
System ground.
