Product details
Overview
ISL91128BIINZ-TR5654 from Renesas is a high-efficiency, fully synchronous 4-switch buck-boost DC/DC regulator with I²C programmability, delivering up to 2.4A continuous output current (at VOUT = 3.3V, PVIN = 2.5V), operating across 1.8V–5.5V input, and featuring 2.5MHz switching frequency, 30µA quiescent current, and selectable bypass mode. It targets single-cell Li-ion battery systems requiring brownout-free voltage regulation in smartphones and RF power amplifiers.
For engineers reviewing the ISL91128BIINZ-TR5654 datasheet, ISL91128BIINZ-TR5654 pinout, ISL91128BIINZ-TR5654 application, or ISL91128BIINZ-TR5654 equivalent, this device offers verified I²C-controlled dynamic voltage scaling (1.9V–5.0V), seamless buck/boost mode transitions, integrated short-circuit/thermal protection, and WLCSP-20 package compatibility for space-constrained portable designs.
Technical Context
The ISL91128BIINZ-TR5654 implements a proprietary buck-boost algorithm that dynamically selects between buck and boost topologies based on real-time PVIN-to-VOUT differential, enabling stable regulation even when input voltage crosses the output setpoint. Its 4-switch synchronous architecture uses low-RDS(ON) P- and N-channel MOSFETs (25–30mΩ) and supports both PWM and PFM modes.
Control is executed via a dedicated I²C interface (400kHz, 7-bit address 0x38) with two registers governing output voltage (6-bit DCDOUT), ultrasonic mode, and I²C enable. Soft-start (1ms delay + 2–3ms ramp), soft-discharge (120Ω internal resistor), and thermal shutdown (155°C trip, 30°C hysteresis) are hardware-enforced functions independent of I²C state.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

Pinout & Package
ISL91128BIINZ-TR5654 is housed in a 20-ball, 0.4mm-pitch Wafer-Level Chip-Scale Package (WLCSP) measuring 2.15mm × 1.74mm. The package features dual ground domains (PGND for power switching, SGND for analog reference) and bump-down orientation for standard reflow assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1, A2, A3 | PVIN | Main power input for DC/DC converter stage; requires 2×10µF decoupling to PGND to handle high di/dt ripple currents. |
| B1, B2, B3 | LX1 | High-side switch node connecting to inductor input; carries full switching current in buck mode and reverse-recovery current in boost mode. |
| C1, C2 | PGND | Power ground return for LX1/LX2 switching paths; must be connected to solid thermal pad under package for thermal dissipation. |
| D1, D2, D3 | LX2 | Low-side switch node connecting to inductor output; shares current path with VOUT during boost conduction and freewheeling in buck mode. |
| E1, E2, E3 | VOUT | Regulated output; connects to 2×22µF bulk capacitance and load; voltage feedback sensed at FB pin referenced to this node. |
| C4 | SDA | I²C data line (open-drain); requires external pull-up to VIN (≤3.6V) and must be pulled to GND if unused to prevent floating. |
| C3 | SCL | I²C clock line (open-drain); same pull-up requirements as SDA; timing compliant with standard 400kHz Fast-mode I²C protocol. |
| A4 | VIN | Analog supply input for internal reference and logic; must be ≥1.8V and stable before EN assertion to ensure proper POR sequence. |
| B4 | EN | Active-high enable; rising edge initiates 1ms POR delay followed by soft-start; driving low activates soft-discharge and disables all switching. |
| D4 | SGND | Analog ground for FB, SCL, SDA, and internal reference; must be isolated from PGND except at single-point star connection near VIN decoupling. |
| E4 | FB | Voltage feedback input; internally biased at 0.6V reference; connects directly to VOUT for fixed-output variants or to resistor divider for adjustable configurations. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic Buck/Boost Mode Transition | Seamless topology switching without output glitch or control-loop interruption when PVIN crosses VOUT ±100mV, maintaining <±1% regulation accuracy. |
| I²C Programmable Output Voltage | 64-step resolution (1.9V–5.0V in 50mV increments) with register-based DCDOUT coding, enabling firmware-controlled DVFS without hardware changes. |
| Select Bypass Mode | Direct conduction path through high-side FETs reduces quiescent current to 6µA and eliminates switching losses during system sleep, extending battery life. |
| Integrated Soft-Discharge | 120Ω internal discharge resistor activated on EN deassertion ensures safe, controlled VOUT decay (<100ms to 10% VOUT) without external components. |
| Thermal Shutdown with Hysteresis | 155°C shutdown threshold with 30°C hysteresis prevents thermal cycling; automatic soft-start resumption at 125°C ensures robust recovery after overload events. |

FAQ
What is the default output voltage of the ISL91128BIINZ-TR5654 at power-up?
The ISL91128BIINZ-TR5654 powers up with a factory-programmed default output voltage of 3.3V. This value is stored in non-volatile configuration bits and remains active until overwritten via I²C. To change the output voltage post-power-up, users must first write the 3.3V code (0b011101) to the VOLTAGE CONTROL register, then set the I2CEN bit to enable subsequent I²C programming of ISL91128BIINZ-TR5654.
Does the ISL91128BIINZ-TR5654 support true I²C-compatible communication, and what is its slave address?
Yes, the ISL91128BIINZ-TR5654 implements a standard I²C Fast-mode interface (400kHz) with open-drain SDA/SCL pins requiring external pull-ups. Its 7-bit slave address is 0x38 (0b0011100), with R/W bit appended as LSB. The device responds with ACK after valid START + address, register address, and data byte reception, supporting only single-byte read/write operations-not block transfers-as confirmed in the FN8732 Rev.3.00 datasheet for ISL91128BIINZ-TR5654.
Can the ISL91128BIINZ-TR5654 operate with input voltage equal to output voltage, and how does it behave?
Yes, the ISL91128BIINZ-TR5654 is explicitly designed to maintain regulation when PVIN ≈ VOUT. In this region, it rapidly alternates between buck and boost modes using its proprietary algorithm, achieving <±1% output accuracy and very low ripple (<10mVPP). This behavior is validated in Figure 17 and Functional Description section of the datasheet, confirming stable operation across the entire 1.8V–5.5V input range for any programmed VOUT within 1.9V–5.0V for ISL91128BIINZ-TR5654.
What protection features are integrated into the ISL91128BIINZ-TR5654, and are they always active?
The ISL91128BIINZ-TR5654 integrates short-circuit protection (via FB voltage monitoring), thermal shutdown (155°C trip), input undervoltage lockout (1.725V rising threshold), and reverse current blocking-all active regardless of I²C state or operating mode. These protections function independently of software control and remain enabled even in Bypass mode, except overcurrent protection which is disabled during Bypass as stated in the Bypass Mode Operation section of FN8732 for ISL91128BIINZ-TR5654.
Is the ISL91128BIINZ-TR5654 pin-compatible with other members of the ISL911xx family, such as the ISL91127?
No, the ISL91128BIINZ-TR5654 is not pin-compatible with the ISL91127. While both use WLCSP packages, the ISL91127 lacks I²C pins (SDA/SCL), bypass mode control, and dynamic voltage scaling registers. Pin Configuration diagrams on page 3 of FN8732 confirm ISL91128BIINZ-TR5654 has dedicated SDA (C4), SCL (C3), and additional control logic absent in ISL91127. Substituting ISL91127 for ISL91128BIINZ-TR5654 requires PCB redesign and firmware changes.
