Product details
Overview
ISL9237IRZ-TR5700 from Renesas Electronics (formerly Intersil) is a buck-boost narrow VDC battery charger IC for 1–3-cell Li-ion systems, featuring SMBus/I²C programmability, USB OTG reverse-buck operation, IMVP-8-compliant PSYS and PROCHOT# outputs, and R3™ modulator architecture for high light-load efficiency. It supports input voltages from 3.2V to 23.4V and regulates system output between 2.4V and 13.824V in mobile and industrial power management applications.
For engineers reviewing the ISL9237IRZ-TR5700 datasheet, ISL9237IRZ-TR5700 pinout, ISL9237IRZ-TR5700 application, or ISL9237IRZ-TR5700 equivalent, key selection considerations include NVDC topology behavior, dual current-sense monitoring (AMON/BMON), adapter/battery priority logic, OTG enable conditions (VBAT > 5.8V), and PSYS analog platform power reporting for Intel IMVP-8 platforms.
Technical Context
The ISL9237IRZ-TR5700 implements a four-switch buck-boost converter with R3™ adaptive on-time control, enabling seamless transitions between DCM and CCM across load ranges. Its dual-path power routing supports simultaneous adapter-to-battery charging and system bus regulation, with independent current sensing for adapter (Rs1 = 20 mΩ) and battery (Rs2 = 10 mΩ) paths.
It integrates IMVP-8-compliant functions including PSYS current-source output proportional to total platform power, open-drain PROCHOT# assertion on adapter overcurrent (ACProchot), battery over-discharge (DCProchot), or low VSYS events, and Turbo mode ideal diode control via BGATE linear regulation during trickle charge.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck-boost battery charger applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISL9238HRZ | Successor device with enhanced thermal performance (θJA = 32°C/W), wider input range (2.7V–26V), and improved AMON/BMON accuracy (±1.5% vs ±2.5%) | Recommended for new designs targeting higher reliability and extended input voltage margin | Select ISL9238HRZ where long-term supply continuity and improved efficiency at light loads are critical |
| BQ25790RGER | TI part with integrated ADC, USB PD 3.0 compliance, and hybrid buck-boost topology; lacks native PSYS output and IMVP-8 PROCHOT# signaling | Preferred for USB-C PD ecosystems requiring vendor-agnostic communication and telemetry | Choose BQ25790RGER when USB PD negotiation and embedded telemetry outweigh IMVP-8 compatibility needs |
Compared with ISL9237IRZ-TR5700, ISL9238HRZ offers direct upgrade path with identical pinout and register map but superior thermal specs and accuracy, whereas BQ25790RGER provides broader protocol support at the cost of IMVP-8 integration and requires redesign for PSYS/PROCHOT# replacement.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported battery cell count for ISL9237IRZ-TR5700?
The ISL9237IRZ-TR5700 supports up to 3-series Li-ion cells, configured via the PROG pin resistor at startup or dynamically reprogrammed via SMBus. Default cell count is set by PROG-to-GND resistance (e.g., 100kΩ = 3-cell), and the device validates battery voltage thresholds (e.g., VBAT_5P8_r = 5.95V) accordingly. This enables safe charging of 12.6V nominal packs while maintaining accurate voltage regulation across the full system output range (2.4V–13.824V).
Does ISL9237IRZ-TR5700 support USB On-The-Go (OTG) functionality?
Yes, ISL9237IRZ-TR5700 supports USB OTG by operating in reverse buck mode to deliver regulated 5V at the USB port. OTG activation requires three conditions: OTGEN pin pulled high, battery voltage ≥5.8V (VBAT_5P8_r), and SMBus OTG enable register written. The OTGPG/CMOUT pin provides open-drain power-good indication, and output current is limited to prevent adapter overload during reverse operation. This eliminates need for discrete boost converters in portable host applications.
How does ISL9237IRZ-TR5700 implement IMVP-8 compliance?
ISL9237IRZ-TR5700 achieves IMVP-8 compliance through two dedicated hardware features: PSYS current-source output that scales linearly with total platform power (1 µA/mW typical), and PROCHOT# open-drain signal asserting low on adapter overcurrent, battery over-discharge, or VSYS undervoltage events. Both signals interface directly with IMVP-8-compliant core VRMs without level-shifting or firmware translation, enabling real-time thermal and power throttling in Intel-based ultrabooks and 2-in-1 systems.
What are the current-sensing configurations supported by ISL9237IRZ-TR5700?
ISL9237IRZ-TR5700 provides dual independent current-sense paths: AMON monitors adapter input current using CSIP/CSIN with Rs1 = 20 mΩ (±2% accuracy at 5A), and BMON monitors battery discharge current using CSOP/CSON with Rs2 = 10 mΩ (±2% accuracy at 10A). Both outputs scale at ~18 V/V (AMON gain = 17.91, BMON gain = 17.95) and feed into dedicated PROCHOT# thresholds - enabling hardware-based overcurrent protection without host intervention.
Can ISL9237IRZ-TR5700 operate without an adapter input?
Yes, ISL9237IRZ-TR5700 operates in battery-only mode with BGATE controlling the system-to-battery PFET. When adapter is absent, it regulates VSYS from battery via buck operation, enters Turbo mode for <150mV dropout, and maintains PSYS reporting and PROCHOT# monitoring. The device draws only 12 µA quiescent current (IBAT1) in this state, preserving runtime. Battery removal is detected via BATGONE pin, which forces immediate BGATE shutdown to isolate system from depleted cells.
