Product details
Overview
ISL28023FR12Z from Renesas Electronics is a precision bidirectional digital power monitor IC for high-side and low-side current/voltage sensing with PMBus/I²C interface, 0.05% voltage/current gain error, ±81.91mV shunt range, 0–16.384V bus voltage range, and integrated 8-bit margining DAC - deployed in DC/DC converter output voltage trimming and fault monitoring for telecom and industrial power systems.
For engineers reviewing the ISL28023FR12Z datasheet, ISL28023FR12Z pinout, ISL28023FR12Z application, or ISL28023FR12Z equivalent, key selection considerations include its 24-lead QFN package, -40°C to +125°C operation, 0.25mV VBUS LSB resolution, dual-channel (primary + auxiliary) sensing capability, and fast 500ns overcurrent fault detection.
Technical Context
The ISL28023FR12Z implements a 16-bit delta-sigma ADC with programmable averaging (up to 128 samples), supports both differential (VINP/VINM) and single-ended (AUXV) auxiliary inputs, and features independent threshold detectors for bus voltage window, overcurrent, and overtemperature faults with configurable full-scale ranges specific to the FR12Z variant (e.g., VBUS OV thresholds from 0.625V to 12V).
Its internal 3.3V regulator accepts 4.5–60V input at VREG_IN and supplies regulated power to internal circuitry; the I²C/SMBus/PMBus interface operates down to 1.2V on I2CVCC and supports standard-mode (400kHz) clocking with PEC support, while the 8-bit DAC provides programmable voltage margining with 0.4–1.2V mid-scale options depending on DAC_MS configuration.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital power monitor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISL28023FR60Z | Same IC core, but rated for 0–60V VBUS range (1mV LSB) and higher CMRR at 60V common-mode | Targeted at 48V telecom and industrial HV systems; not suitable for 12V-optimized designs requiring 0.25mV resolution | Select FR60Z only if VBUS exceeds 16.384V; FR12Z offers superior LSB resolution for 12V rails |
| INA226AIDGST | TI part with 16-bit ADC, 0.1% gain error, no integrated DAC or internal regulator; requires external 3.3V supply | Lacks margining capability and autonomous fault alert outputs; relies on host MCU for threshold evaluation | Choose INA226 where cost sensitivity outweighs need for autonomous margining and fast hardware fault response |
Compared with ISL28023FR60Z and INA226AIDGST, the ISL28023FR12Z uniquely combines 12V-optimized resolution (0.25mV), integrated 3.3V regulation, and hardware-accelerated margining - reducing BOM count and firmware overhead in compact 12V power systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum bus voltage range supported by the ISL28023FR12Z?
The ISL28023FR12Z supports a bus voltage measurement range of 0V to 16.384V, with 0.25mV LSB resolution. This range is optimized for 12V power rails and differs from the ISL28023FR60Z variant, which supports 0–60V. The 16.384V limit is defined by the internal scaling and full-scale register settings, and exceeding it may cause saturation or inaccurate readings.
Does the ISL28023FR12Z require an external voltage regulator?
No, the ISL28023FR12Z integrates a 3.3V internal regulator that accepts 4.5–60V input at VREG_IN and delivers regulated power to internal circuitry via VREG_OUT. When using the internal regulator, connect VREG_IN to the system rail and place a 1µF decoupling capacitor on VREG_OUT. External regulation is optional and only needed if VREG_IN is grounded or unused.
How does the 8-bit DAC in the ISL28023FR12Z function for voltage margining?
The ISL28023FR12Z's 8-bit DAC generates a programmable analog output (DAC_OUT) ranging from 0.055V to 2×VMS, where VMS is selectable between 0.4V and 1.2V via DAC_MS[2:0]. It directly interfaces with DC/DC converter feedback nodes to implement precise output voltage margining (e.g., ±5%) during production test or runtime calibration without host MCU intervention.
What fault detection capabilities does the ISL28023FR12Z provide, and how fast are they?
The ISL28023FR12Z provides hardware-accelerated overvoltage, undervoltage, overcurrent, and overtemperature detection with a fixed 500ns propagation delay from fault condition to SMBALERT1/SMBALERT2 assertion. Thresholds are independently configurable per channel, and detection operates autonomously - no host polling or firmware execution required.
Can the ISL28023FR12Z monitor both primary and auxiliary channels simultaneously?
Yes, the ISL28023FR12Z supports concurrent monitoring of its primary channel (VINP/VINM/VBUS) and auxiliary channel (AUXP/AUXM/AUXV). Each channel has independent gain, offset, averaging, and conversion timing controls. The device reports all measurements via PMBus registers, enabling synchronized power telemetry across multiple rails or subsystems in a single IC.
