DATASHEET
High Efficiency Buck-Boost Regulator with 4.1A
Switches
ISL91107IR
Features
The ISL91107IR 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
This device is capable of delivering up to 2A of output current
(PVIN = 2.8V, VOUT = 3.3V) and provides excellent efficiency
due to its fully synchronous 4-switch architecture. No-load
quiescent current of only 45µA also optimizes efficiency under
light load conditions.
The ISL91107IR is designed for standalone applications and
supports 3.3V fixed output voltages 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.
• Automatic and seamless transitions between buck and
boost modes
• Input voltage range: 1.8V to 5.5V
• Output current: up to 2A (PVIN = 2.8V, VOUT = 3.3V)
• High efficiency: up to 96%
• 45µA quiescent current maximizes light load efficiency
• 2.5MHz switching frequency minimizes external component
size
• Selectable forced PWM mode
• Fully protected for short-circuit, over-temperature and
undervoltage
• Small 3mmx4mm TQFN package
The ISL91107IR requires only a single inductor and very few
external components. Power supply solution size is minimized
by its 2.5MHz switching frequency, allowing small size external
components.
Applications
The ISL91107IR is available in a 3x4 20 Ld TQFN package.
• Wireless communication devices
• Smartphones and tablet PCs
• Optical modules networking equipment

Functional Description
Functional Overview
Refer to the “Block Diagram” on page 2. The ISL91107IR
implements a complete buck-boost switching regulator with
PWM controller, internal switches, references, protection circuitry
and control inputs.
The PWM controller automatically switches between buck and
boost modes as necessary to maintain a steady output voltage
with changing input voltages and dynamic external loads.
Internal Supply and References
Referring to the “Block Diagram” on page 2, the ISL91107IR
provides two power input pins. The PVIN pin supplies input power to
the DC/DC converter, while the VIN pin provides operating voltage
source required for stable VREF generation. Separate ground pins
(SGND and PGND) are provided to avoid problems caused by ground
shift due to the high switching currents.
Enable Input
A master enable pin EN allows the device to be enabled. Driving
EN LOW invokes a power-down mode, where most internal device
functions are disabled.
Soft Discharge
When the device is disabled by driving EN LOW, an internal
resistor between VOUT and SGND is activated. This internal
resistor has a typical resistance of 35Ω.
POR Sequence and Soft-start
Bringing the EN pin HIGH allows the device to power-up. A
number of events occur during the start-up sequence. The
internal voltage reference powers up and stabilizes. The device
then starts to operate. There is a 1ms (typical) delay between
assertion of the EN pin and the start of the switching regulator
soft-start ramp.

FIGURE 21. START-UP WITH VIN = 4V, RLOAD = 1.5A, VOUT = 3.3V
The soft-start feature minimizes output voltage overshoot and
input inrush currents. During soft-start, the reference voltage is
ramped to provide a ramping VOUT voltage. While output voltage
is lower than approximately 20% of the target output voltage,
switching frequency is reduced to a fraction of the normal
switching frequency to aid in producing low duty cycles necessary
to avoid input inrush current spikes. Once the output voltage
exceeds 20% of the target voltage, the switching frequency is
increased to its nominal value.
When the target output voltage is higher than the input voltage,
there will be a transition from buck mode to boost mode during
the soft-start sequence. At the time of this transition, the ramp
rate of the reference voltage is decreased, such that the output
voltage slew rate is decreased. This provides a slower output
voltage slew rate.
The VOUT ramp time is not constant for all operating conditions.
Soft-start into boost mode will take longer than soft-start into
buck mode. The total soft-start time into buck operating mode is
typically 2ms, whereas the typical soft-start time into boost
mode operating mode is typically 3ms. Increasing the load
current will increase these typical soft-start times.
Overcurrent Protection
The ISL91107IR provides short-circuit protection by monitoring
the FB voltage. When FB voltage is sensed to be lower than a
certain threshold, the PWM oscillator frequency is reduced in
order to protect the device from damage. The P-channel MOSFET
peak current limit remains active during this state.
Undervoltage Lockout
The undervoltage lockout (UVLO) feature prevents abnormal
operation in the event that the supply voltage is too low to
guarantee proper operation. When the VIN voltage falls below the
UVLO threshold, the regulator is disabled.

Thermal Shutdown
Operation with VIN Close to VOUT
A built-in thermal protection feature protects the ISL91107IR if
the die temperature reaches +150°C (typical). At this die
temperature, the regulator is completely shut down. The die
temperature continues to be monitored in this thermal-shutdown
mode. When the die temperature falls to +120°C (typical), the
device will resume normal operation.
When the output voltage is close to the input voltage, the
ISL91107IR will rapidly and smoothly switch from boost-to-buck
mode as needed to maintain the regulated output voltage. This
behavior provides excellent efficiency and very low output
voltage ripple.
When exiting thermal shutdown, the ISL91107IR will execute its
soft-start sequence.
Buck-Boost Conversion Topology
The ISL91107IR operates in either buck or boost mode. When
operating in conditions where VIN is close to VOUT, the
ISL91107IR alternates between buck and boost mode as
necessary to provide a regulated output voltage.

PWM Operation
In buck PWM mode, Switch D is continuously closed and Switch C
is continuously open. Switches A and B operate as a synchronous
buck converter when in this mode.
In boost PWM mode, Switch A remains closed and Switch B
remains open. Switches C and D operate as a synchronous boost
converter when in this mode.
PFM Operation
During PFM operation in buck mode, Switch D is continuously
closed and Switch C is continuously open. Switches A and B
operate in discontinuous mode during PFM operation. During
PFM operation in boost mode, the ISL91107IR closes Switch A
and Switch C to ramp up the current in the inductor. When the
inductor current reaches a certain threshold, the device turns
OFF Switches A and C, then turns ON Switches B and D. With
Switches B and D closed, output voltage increases as the
inductor current ramps down.
In most operating conditions, there will be multiple PFM pulses
to charge up the output capacitor. These pulses continue until
VOUT has achieved the upper threshold of the PFM hysteretic
controller. Switching then stops and remains stopped until VOUT
decays to the lower threshold of the hysteretic PFM controller.
The adjustable ISL91107IR version requires three additional
components to program the output voltage. Two external
resistors program the output voltage and a small capacitor is
added to improve stability and response.
Setting and controlling the output voltage of the ISL91107IR
(adjustable output version) can be accomplished by selecting the
external resistor values.
Equation 1 can be used to derive the R1 and R2 resistor values:

When designing a PCB, include an SGND guard band around the
feedback resistor network to reduce noise and improve accuracy
and stability. Resistors R1 and R2 should be positioned close to
the FB pin.
Inductor Selection
An inductor with high frequency core material (e.g., ferrite core)
should be used to minimize core losses and provide good
efficiency. The inductor must be able to handle the peak
switching currents without saturating.
A 1µH inductor with ≥4.1A saturation current rating is
recommended. Select an inductor with low DCR to provide good

PVIN and VOUT Capacitor Selection
The input and output capacitors should be ceramic X5R type with
low ESL and ESR. The recommended input capacitor value is
22µF, as this would provide adequate RMS current to minimize
the input voltage ripple. A minimum of 10µF is required to
maintain full functionality of the part.
The recommended output capacitor is 2x22µF, 10V, X5R. Note
that the effective value of a ceramic capacitor derates with DC
voltage bias across it. This derating may be up to 70% of the
rated capacitance.

Refer to the capacitor datasheet to ensure the combined
effective output capacitance is at least 14µF for proper operation
over the entire recommended load current range. Low output
capacitance may lead to large output voltage drop during load
transient or unstable operation.

Recommended PCB Layout
Correct PCB layout is critical for proper operation of the
ISL91107IR. The following are some general guidelines for the
recommended layout:
1. The input and output capacitors should be positioned as close
to the IC as possible.
2. The ground connections of the input and output capacitors
should be kept as short as possible. The objective is to
minimize the current loop between the ground pads of the
input and output capacitors and the PGND pins of the IC. Use
vias, if required, to take advantage of a PCB ground layer
underneath the regulator.
3. The analog ground pin (SGND) should be connected to a
large/low-noise ground plane on the top or an intermediate
layer on the PCB, away from the switching current path of
PGND. This ensures a low noise signal ground reference.
4. Minimize the trace lengths on the feedback loop to avoid
switching noise pick-up. Vias should be avoided on the
feedback loop to minimize the effect of board parasitic,
particularly during load transients.
5. The LX1 and LX2 traces should be short and must be routed
on the same layer as the IC.
