Overview

Description

The ISL9111 and ISL9111A provide a power supply solution for single-cell, dual-cell, or three-cell alkaline, NiCd or NiMH battery-powered applications. The device has a typical 0.8V start-up voltage and is capable of supplying up to 5.25V output voltage. Both devices are guaranteed to supply 100mA from a single-cell input and 240mA from a dual-cell input when output is 3.3V. High 1.2MHz switching frequency allows for the use of tiny, low-profile inductors and ceramic capacitors to minimize the size of the solution.

The ISL9111 and ISL9111A are internally compensated, fully integrated synchronous boost converters optimized for efficiency with minimal external components. At light load, the device enters skip mode and consumes only 20µA of quiescent current, resulting in higher efficiency at light loads and maximum battery life.

The ISL9111 and ISL9111A address both rechargeable and non-rechargeable battery applications. The ISL9111 has a UVLO feature, which will internally shut off at 0.7V protecting a rechargeable battery. The ISL9111A has this feature disabled to maximize the usable life of a non-rechargeable single cell battery. The parts are available in fixed 3.0V, 3.3V and 5.0V output voltage versions or an adjustable output voltage version (ADJ). The fixed output voltage version also provides a FAULT pin for fault condition monitoring. The ISL9111 and ISL9111A are available in a 6 Ld SOT-23 package.

  2. ISL9111 fault recovery

    I am using the ISL9111 to provide ~4.8v from a Lithium battery. I have encountered an issue that prevents the ISL9111 from starting up when the battery is first connected. When the battery is being connected, vin for the ISL is intermittent which appears to be triggering the UVLO ...

FAQs

  1. What is the most common failure mode when using the ISL9111 or ISL9111A devices?

    ... current can become saturated and cause the chip to fail. Using the wrong type or value of capacitance can result in excess ripple (noise) on the output voltage. Actual vendor part numbers are listed in the ISL9111/ISL9111A datasheet for both the inductor and the input and output capacitors.

  2. Which is the best option between ISL91108 and ISL91110 for a high current buck-boost application?

    Question:Between ISL91108 and ISL91110, which is the best option for a high current buck-boost application? Are they pin compatible?   Answer: It depends on the maximum load current requirement of the application. ISL91108 can deliver 1.5A in boost mode (PVIN=3V, VOUT=3.3V). ISL91110 can deliver up ...

  3. Can different inductor values/sizes be used with ISL91108/ISL91110 other than the ones recommended on the datasheet?

    Question:Can different inductor values/sizes be used with ISL91108/ISL91110 other than the ones recommended on the datasheet?   Answer:1uH inductors of other sizes can be used as long as the saturation current ratings meet the datasheet recommendation. Note that the efficiency and transient performance may be ...
