Product details
Overview
ISL6292-2CR5Z from Renesas Electronics is a single-cell Li-ion/Li-polymer linear battery charger IC with 4.20V ±1% charge voltage regulation, programmable up to 2A constant current (via external resistor), thermal foldback protection, NTC-based temperature monitoring, and integrated pass FET - designed for USB-powered or wall-adapter-powered portable devices including medical handhelds, smartphones, and self-charging battery packs.
For engineers reviewing the ISL6292-2CR5Z datasheet, ISL6292-2CR5Z pinout, ISL6292-2CR5Z application, or ISL6292-2CR5Z equivalent, key selection considerations include its 5×5 QFN-16 package thermal performance (θJA = 34°C/W), 4.20V nominal CV threshold (vs. 4.10V for ISL6292-1 variants), end-of-charge current programmability, and dual-mode operation (linear vs. current-limited adapter support) enabling low-thermal-design flexibility.
Technical Context
The ISL6292-2CR5Z implements a CC/CV charging profile with internal 100,000:1 current mirror architecture, where IREF sets reference current and QMAIN/QSEN operate as matched pass elements. Its thermal foldback activates at +100°C (±15°C) to reduce charge current linearly at 100mA/°C, preventing junction exceedance of +150°C in space-constrained PCBs.
It integrates POR detection (3.4V rising threshold), 2.8V V2P8 reference output for adapter presence indication, open-drain STATUS/FAULT pins for system-level state reporting, and a programmable oscillator (via CTIME pin) that governs both safety timeout (22-bit counter) and trickle-charge verification timing (15-cycle lockout).

Pinout & Package
ISL6292-2CR5Z uses a thermally enhanced 16-lead 5×5 mm QFN package (RoHS-compliant, exposed pad) with θJA = 34°C/W and θJC = 4°C/W - optimized for high-current linear charging in space-limited applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pins 1, 15, 16) | Input power supply input | Accepts 4.3–6.5V adapter/USB input; multiple pins reduce trace resistance and improve thermal path. |
| FAULT (Pin 2) | Open-drain fault indicator | Pulled LOW on battery removal, over-temperature, or TIMEOUT fault - requires external pull-up for system interrupt. |
| STATUS (Pin 3) | Open-drain charge status indicator | Pulled LOW during active charging; transitions HIGH and latches at EOC - signals host MCU when CV mode completes. |
| TIME (Pin 4) | Oscillator timing capacitor node | Connects to GND via CTIME (e.g., 15nF) to set 3.5-hour TIMEOUT and 15-cycle trickle verification period. |
| GND (Pin 5) | System ground reference | Primary ground return; ties to exposed thermal pad for optimal heat dissipation. |
| TOEN (Pin 6) | Timeout enable control | Pulled HIGH or floating enables 3.5-hour fast-charge safety timer; pulled LOW disables TIMEOUT (converts to LDO mode). |
| EN (Pin 7) | Charger enable logic input | Leave floating to enable; tie to GND to disable - supports host-controlled charge initiation. |
| V2P8 (Pin 8) | 2.8V reference output | Indicates adapter presence above POR threshold; sources 2mA - usable for biasing external circuits or ADC reference. |
| IREF (Pin 9) | Constant current programming input | Resistor-connected (e.g., 80kΩ → 1.0A) or logic-driven (≥1.3V → 500mA) - defines CC level via internal 100,000:1 current mirror. |
| IMIN (Pin 10) | End-of-charge current threshold input | Resistor-to-GND (e.g., 80kΩ → 110mA) or tied to V2P8 (→ 1/10 × IREF) - sets EOC current detection level for STATUS transition. |
| TEMP (Pin 11) | NTC thermistor interface | Monitors battery temperature via voltage divider with NTC; also detects battery removal via voltage shift. |
| VBAT (Pins 12–14) | Battery connection node | Direct connection to cell anode; multiple pins minimize IR drop and enhance thermal conduction to PCB. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated pass FET and current sense | Eliminates need for external MOSFET, blocking diode, or current-sense resistor - reduces BOM count and layout area. |
| Programmable 4.20V charge voltage | 1% accuracy across −20°C to +70°C - matches Li-ion cell chemistry requirements without calibration. |
| Thermal foldback with 100mA/°C gain | Automatically scales back charge current above +100°C - enables reliable operation on small PCBs without heatsinks. |
| Adapter-agnostic operation | Supports both voltage-source (linear mode) and current-limited (switched-LDO mode) inputs - simplifies adapter selection. |
| Trickle preconditioning & auto-recharge | Applies 10% IREF until VBAT ≥ 2.8V (15-cycle verified); reinitiates charge when VBAT drops below 4.0V - prevents deep discharge damage. |

FAQ
What is the exact charge voltage accuracy and tolerance of the ISL6292-2CR5Z?
The ISL6292-2CR5Z provides a nominal 4.20V constant-voltage charge output with ±1% accuracy across the full operating temperature range (−20°C to +70°C) and input voltage range (4.3V to 6.5V). This specification is guaranteed per the Electrical Specifications table on page 6 of FN9105 Rev.10.00, ensuring reliable full-charge termination for standard Li-ion cells without overvoltage stress. The ISL6292-2CR5Z achieves this via laser-trimmed internal references and process-compensated bandgap design.
How does the ISL6292-2CR5Z handle thermal management during high-current charging?
The ISL6292-2CR5Z implements charge current thermal foldback starting at +100°C (±15°C), reducing current at 100mA/°C to prevent junction temperatures exceeding +150°C. This behavior is intrinsic to the die and requires no external circuitry. In its 5×5 QFN package (θJA = 34°C/W), the ISL6292-2CR5Z sustains 2A charging under typical ambient conditions, with foldback engaging only under sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. The ISL6292-2CR5Z datasheet confirms this in Figure 9 and the "Charge Current Thermal Foldback" section.
Can the ISL6292-2CR5Z operate with a current-limited USB adapter, and how does it behave differently than with a voltage-source adapter?
Yes - the ISL6292-2CR5Z supports both voltage-source (e.g., 5V wall adapter) and current-limited (e.g., USB 500mA port) inputs. With current-limited sources, the ISL6292-2CR5Z transitions QMAIN into a low-rDS(ON) switch rather than a linear regulator, reducing power dissipation significantly during CC mode. This dual-mode behavior is documented in Figures 19–20 and the "Theory of Operation" section of FN9105. The ISL6292-2CR5Z maintains identical CC/CV control regardless of source type.
What is the function of the TOEN pin on the ISL6292-2CR5Z, and what happens when it is grounded?
The TOEN (Timeout Enable) pin on the ISL6292-2CR5Z controls activation of the 3.5-hour fast-charge safety timer. When pulled LOW (e.g., tied to GND), the TIMEOUT limit is disabled, converting the ISL6292-2CR5Z into a current-limited LDO regulated at 4.20V - useful for powering systems directly from the battery input. Trickle-charge timing remains active and unaffected. This behavior is specified in the Pin Descriptions (page 5) and "Disabling TIMEOUT Limit" section (page 13) of the ISL6292-2CR5Z datasheet.
How is end-of-charge (EOC) determined and signaled by the ISL6292-2CR5Z?
The ISL6292-2CR5Z declares end-of-charge when two conditions are met: (1) battery voltage exceeds the recharge threshold (4.0V for ISL6292-2 variants), and (2) charge current falls below the IMIN threshold (e.g., 110mA with RIMIN = 80kΩ). Upon EOC qualification, the open-drain STATUS pin releases its LOW state and rises HIGH (latched). Charging continues until TIMEOUT expires, but STATUS indicates readiness. This logic is detailed in the "End-of-Charge (EOC) Current" section (page 14) and confirmed in Figure 21 of the ISL6292-2CR5Z datasheet.
