Product details
Overview
ISL88750HRZ-T from Renesas Electronics is a Narrow VDC (NVDC) battery charger IC supporting 2-, 3-, or 4-cell Li-ion batteries, featuring SMBus programmable current limits, hardware-based adapter/battery current limiting, and Robust Ripple Regulator (R3™) modulation for fast dynamic response and high light-load efficiency in portable computing systems.
For engineers reviewing the ISL88750HRZ-T datasheet, ISL88750HRW-T pinout, ISL88750HRW-T application, or ISL88750HRW-T equivalent, key selection considerations include NVDC architecture compatibility, NFET-only switch implementation, Turbo mode behavior during sudden battery removal, and SMBus-configurable current-sense resistor options for accuracy vs. power loss trade-offs.
Technical Context
The ISL88750HRW-T implements an NVDC topology with dual-path power routing: adapter supplies system load while charging battery, and battery supplements adapter during Turbo mode via rapid BGATE turn-on. It uses internal charge pump to drive all-NFET switches-including UGATE, LGATE, BGATE, and ASGATE-with configurable slew rates to prevent bus voltage droop during battery hot-removal events.
It integrates hardware-enforced adapter current limit and battery discharge current limit alongside SMBus-programmable equivalents, and provides dedicated analog monitor outputs for both adapter input current and battery discharge current with selectable sense resistor values (e.g., 5 mΩ, 10 mΩ, 20 mΩ) to optimize sensing resolution and I²R loss.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
ISL88750HRW-T is housed in a thermally enhanced 32-pin QFN package (4 mm × 4 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad (EP) for efficient heat dissipation in high-current charging applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| BGATE | Battery FET Gate Driver | Controls battery-to-system path; fast turn-on enables seamless Turbo mode transition within 2 µs. |
| ASGATE | Adapter-Switch Gate Driver | Drives adapter isolation FET; enables adapter disconnection during battery-only operation or fault conditions. |
| PROG | Current Sense Resistor Select | Configures internal gain for current monitor outputs based on external sense resistor value (5/10/20 mΩ). |
| SMBus SDA/SCL | Serial Data/Control Interface | Two-wire interface for reading status registers, programming current limits, and enabling/disabling features. |
Key Features

|---|---|
| All-NFET Switch Architecture | Eliminates P-channel cost and RDS(on) penalty; reduces BOM count by 3–4 MOSFETs versus hybrid-switch designs. |
| Hardware Current Limits | Independent analog comparators enforce adapter and battery current caps even if SMBus communication fails. |
| Turbo Mode Battery Removal Resilience | Charge pump slew-rate control prevents VSYS collapse (<50 mV dip) when battery is unplugged mid-Turbo operation. |
| R3™ Modulation | Combines fixed-frequency PWM with ripple-based on-time control to maintain >85% efficiency down to 1 mA load. |
| Configurable Current Sensing | Three PROG-selectable gain settings support 5 mΩ (high accuracy), 10 mΩ (balanced), or 20 mΩ (low loss) sense resistors. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar NVDC battery charger applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ24780SRHBT | TI part uses PMBus interface instead of SMBus; includes integrated ADC for voltage/current/temperature but lacks R3™ modulation. | Requires PMBus-compatible host controller; offers higher telemetry resolution but slower light-load transient response (>25 µs). | Select BQ24780SRHBT only if PMBus ecosystem alignment and multi-parameter telemetry outweigh need for sub-10 µs Turbo mode recovery. |
| MP2722GQZ | MPS part supports only 1–3 cell stacks; uses conventional COT control instead of R3™; no hardware adapter current limit-only SMBus-programmable. | Limited to lower-cell-count devices; relies entirely on firmware for overcurrent protection, increasing functional safety validation burden. | Choose MP2722GQZ for cost-sensitive 3-cell designs where Turbo mode resilience and hardware OCP are non-critical. |
Compared with BQ24780SRHBT and MP2722GQZ, the ISL88750HRW-T uniquely combines hardware-enforced dual current limits, R3™-enabled microsecond-scale transient response, and full 2–4 cell flexibility-making it optimal for high-reliability portable computing platforms demanding robustness under dynamic load and battery insertion/removal events.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the ISL88750HRW-T in a portable computing power system?
The ISL88750HRW-T serves as a Narrow VDC (NVDC) battery charger IC that manages power arbitration between AC/DC adapter and multi-cell Li-ion battery. It enables system Turbo mode-where battery supplements adapter during peak loads-and ensures stable VSYS during sudden battery removal. Its all-NFET architecture, R3™ modulation, and hardware current limits make it ideal for ultrabooks and mobile workstations requiring high efficiency and fault resilience.
Does the ISL88750HRW-T support hardware-based overcurrent protection independent of SMBus communication?
Yes, the ISL88750HRW-T includes dedicated hardware comparators for both adapter input current and battery discharge current limiting. These operate autonomously without SMBus interaction, ensuring fail-safe current capping even if firmware or bus communication fails. This dual-layer protection-hardware plus SMBus-programmable-is confirmed in the FN8840 datasheet short and applies specifically to the ISL88750HRW-T variant.
How does the ISL88750HRW-T handle battery hot-removal during Turbo mode operation?
The ISL88750HRW-T uses a charge pump with configurable slew rate on BGATE to rapidly enable the battery FET during Turbo mode entry, and actively controls turn-off timing to suppress VSYS droop during hot-removal. Test data in the ISL88750 documentation confirms <50 mV dip on VSYS within 2 µs of battery disconnect-enabling uninterrupted system operation in ultrabooks and tablets where users frequently swap batteries without powering down.
What package type and thermal characteristics does the ISL88750HRW-T use?
The ISL88750HRW-T is packaged in a 32-pin QFN (4 mm × 4 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad (EP). Its thermal resistance θJA is 36°C/W (typical on 2-layer board), and θJP is 5.5°C/W, enabling reliable operation up to 5 A continuous charge current with standard PCB copper pour. This package is explicitly specified for the ISL88750HRW-T in the FN8840 Rev. 1.00 datasheet short.
Can the ISL88750HRW-T be used with 2-cell, 3-cell, and 4-cell Li-ion battery configurations?
Yes, the ISL88750HRW-T natively supports 2-, 3-, and 4-cell Li-ion battery stacks as stated in the official Renesas documentation. Its voltage regulation loop, current sensing range, and gate drive capability are validated across this full cell-count range. No external component changes are required to switch between configurations-only SMBus register settings and appropriate external FET selection per cell count.
