Product details
Overview
ISL9203CRZR5220 from Intersil is a single-cell Li-ion/Li-polymer linear battery charger IC with programmable constant-current up to 1.5A, 1% voltage regulation accuracy at 4.2V, thermal foldback activation at 100°C, and integrated pass element in a thermally enhanced 3x3 DFN package. It operates from input voltages as low as 2.65V after startup and supports both voltage-source and current-limited AC adapters for handheld medical devices and portable instruments.
For engineers reviewing the ISL9203CRZR5220 datasheet, ISL9203CRZR5220 pinout, ISL9203CRZR5220 application, or ISL9203CRZR5220 equivalent, key selection criteria include CC/CV charge profile compliance, V2P8 2.8V bias output capability, STATUS open-drain logic signaling, thermal foldback behavior under PCB space constraints, and IREF-based current programming with external resistor.
Technical Context
The ISL9203CRZR5220 implements a dual-mode linear charging architecture: it functions as a traditional CC/CV linear regulator with external IREF resistor programming when powered by a voltage-source adapter, and transitions to a quasi-switching mode-where the main MOSFET operates fully on-when driven by a current-limited adapter, reducing power dissipation during constant-current phase.
Its internal block includes a 100,000:1 current mirror (QMAIN:QSEN), precision 0.8V IREF reference, programmable oscillator (TOSC = 0.2×CTIME μs), and temperature-sensing circuitry that injects 1μA/°C into the current error amplifier above 100°C to achieve 100mA/°C charge current foldback-ensuring safe operation without external thermal management components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Charge Voltage Accuracy | ±1% (4.158–4.242V) - ensures full Li-ion cell capacity without overvoltage stress or premature termination |
| Max Charge Current | 1.5A programmable via IREF resistor - supports fast charging for sub-2000mAh batteries in compact layouts |
| Input Voltage Range | 4.3V to 6.5V operating; starts at VIN ≥ 3.4V, sustains down to 2.65V - enables compatibility with USB-powered and legacy wall adapters |
| Thermal Foldback Threshold | 100°C ±15% - activates automatic current reduction before junction temperature reaches 150°C limit |
| V2P8 Output | 2.7–3.1V @ 2mA load - provides stable bias for NTC circuits or adapter presence detection |
| STATUS Output Type | Open-drain, logic-low during charge - requires external pull-up; latched high at EOC until recharge or EN toggle |
| Quiescent Current (Shutdown) | ≤30μA with EN = GND - minimizes battery drain during system standby |
Pinout & Package
ISL9203CRZR5220 is housed in a thermally enhanced 10-lead 3×3 mm DFN package (PKG DWG # L10.3x3) with exposed metal pad for PCB thermal conduction. Pin 2 (NC) is not connected and must remain unconnected per datasheet guidance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (1) | Input power supply | Accepts 4.3–6.5V adapter input; POR rising threshold at 3.4V enables reliable startup |
| NC (2) | No connection | Not internally bonded - must be left floating or grounded per layout best practice |
| STATUS (3) | Open-drain charge status indicator | Pulled low during active charge; high-impedance latch at EOC; requires external pull-up |
| TIME (4) | Oscillator timing node | Connects to CTIME capacitor (e.g., 15nF → 3ms period) for internal timing and trickle verification cycles |
| GND (5) | Power and signal reference | Must connect to low-impedance ground plane; ties to exposed thermal pad |
| EN (6) | Enable control input | Logic-high (≥2.0V) or floating enables charge; pulled low disables with ≤30μA quiescent draw |
| V2P8 (7) | 2.8V reference output | Stable bias source for external circuits; indicates adapter presence when VIN > 3.4V |
| IREF (8) | Current programming node | Maintains 0.8V reference; RIREF sets CC current as ICHARGE = (0.8V / RIREF) × 10⁵ |
| VSEN (9) | Remote battery voltage sense | Connects near battery pack + terminal to compensate for PCB trace IR drop |
| VBAT (10) | Battery connection | Drives single-cell Li-ion/Li-Po; requires 0.1μF ceramic cap if battery present |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated pass MOSFET + current sense | Eliminates need for external blocking diode or discrete FET; reduces BOM count and layout area |
| Trickle preconditioning | Automatically applies 10% of programmed CC current until VBAT ≥ 2.8V - safely recovers over-discharged cells |
| Adapter-agnostic operation | Works with both voltage-source (e.g., 5V USB) and current-limited (e.g., 500mA wall adapters) inputs without reconfiguration |
| Thermally enhanced DFN | θJC = 4°C/W enables >1W dissipation on standard 2-layer PCBs - avoids heatsinks in space-constrained designs |
| RoHS-compliant Pb-free+anneal | Matte tin termination compatible with SnPb and lead-free reflow profiles - supports mixed-technology assembly |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar single-cell Li-ion linear charger applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ24075RGTR | Higher max input voltage (16V), integrated LDO for system power, no V2P8 output | Supports higher-voltage adapters and powers system rail simultaneously; lacks dedicated adapter-detect bias | Select when dual-rail (battery + system) power delivery is required and thermal foldback is managed externally |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for ISL9203CRZR5220 to begin charging?
The ISL9203CRZR5220 guarantees operation down to VIN = 2.65V after startup, with a typical power-on reset (POR) rising threshold of 3.4V. Below 2.65V, the device ceases regulation and enters undervoltage lockout. This allows reliable charging from weak or aging adapters while maintaining safety margins defined in the FN9242 datasheet.
How does the ISL9203CRZR5220 handle over-discharged batteries?
The ISL9203CRZR5220 automatically initiates trickle charging at 10% of the programmed constant-current value when VSEN falls below 2.8V (VMIN). It verifies battery readiness over 15 internal oscillator cycles before transitioning to full CC mode - preventing damage to deeply discharged Li-ion cells and ensuring safe recovery without host MCU intervention.
Can the ISL9203CRZR5220 be used with current-limited adapters, and how does it behave?
Yes - the ISL9203CRZR5220 is explicitly designed for current-limited adapters. When adapter current is insufficient to meet IREF demand, the main MOSFET saturates, reducing power dissipation to I²×RDS(ON) instead of (VIN−VBAT)×I. This quasi-switching behavior minimizes thermal stress while preserving CC/CV compliance, as confirmed in Figure 19 and Theory of Operation section of FN9242.
What is the function of the V2P8 pin on the ISL9203CRZR5220, and what load can it drive?
The V2P8 pin delivers a regulated 2.7–3.1V output used for adapter presence detection and biasing external circuits like NTC thermistors. It is specified to source up to 2mA continuously. Exceeding this load may cause voltage droop or affect POR stability, so external buffering is recommended for higher-current applications.
How is charge current programmed on the ISL9203CRZR5220, and what is the relationship to IREF?
Charge current is set by an external resistor (RIREF) connected between IREF and GND. The IREF pin maintains 0.8V, so ICHARGE = (0.8V / RIREF) × 10⁵. For example, RIREF = 80kΩ yields ~1.0A CC current. Table 1 in FN9242 provides exact values, and tolerance depends on resistor accuracy - not device variation.
