Product details
Overview
ISL95338HRTZ-T7A from Renesas is a bidirectional buck-boost voltage regulator supporting forward (ADP→SYS) and reverse (SYS→ADP) power conversion, with 3.8V–24V input range, up to 20V output, 1MHz switching frequency, SMBus/I²C programmability, and integrated OCP/OVP/UVP/OTP protection. It enables USB-C PD power delivery in ultrabooks and power banks.
For engineers reviewing the ISL95338HRTZ-T7A datasheet, ISL95338HRTZ-T7A pinout, ISL95338HRTZ-T7A application, or ISL95338HRTZ-T7A equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional regulation capability, ±1% output voltage accuracy (HRTZ grade), 32-pin 4×4 TQFN package, R3™ modulator architecture for fast transient response, and dual-mode soft-start control via REF pin.
Technical Context
The ISL95338HRTZ-T7A implements Renesas' R3™ adaptive on-time modulation across both forward and reverse directions, enabling seamless transitions between buck, boost, and buck-boost modes without dead zones. Its dual error amplifiers (COMPF/COMPR) and independent current-sense paths (CSIP/CSIN for ADP side, CSOP/CSON for SYS side) support fully decoupled regulation loops.
Operation is controlled via dedicated enable pins (FRWEN analog, RVSEN digital) and configured through SMBus registers-including programmable input/output current limits, PROCHOT# thresholds, and voltage setpoints. Internal LDOs (VDD/VDDP) power gate drivers and logic, while active discharge functions safely manage residual energy in both directions.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional buck-boost regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP8859GQ-Z | Single-direction (forward-only) buck-boost; no reverse mode enable or SYS-side current sensing | Requires external reverse-path circuitry for OTG; lacks SMBus register access for dynamic reconfiguration | Choose when only ADP→SYS conversion is needed and cost is prioritized over feature set |
| TPS65988DHAR | USB-C PD controller with integrated Type-C port logic; includes ISL95338HRTZ-T7A-equivalent power stage but adds PHY, BMC, and policy engine | Higher integration for full PD 3.0 compliance; larger footprint and higher BOM cost | Choose when full USB-C DRP stack (including CC logic and firmware) is required alongside power conversion |
Compared with MP8859GQ-Z and TPS65988DHAR, the ISL95338HRTZ-T7A uniquely provides standalone, SMBus-configurable bidirectional regulation in a minimal 4×4 mm footprint - ideal for space-constrained embedded systems requiring flexible power routing without full PD protocol stack overhead.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the ISL95338HRTZ-T7A?
The ISL95338HRTZ-T7A is rated for ambient operation from -10°C to +100°C, matching the HRTZ grade specification. Junction temperature must remain below +125°C under all conditions, and thermal design must account for the 32-lead TQFN package's θJA of 37°C/W. The device includes hardware-based over-temperature protection that triggers at 140–160°C.
Does the ISL95338HRTZ-T7A support USB-C Power Delivery communication?
No - the ISL95338HRTZ-T7A handles only the analog power conversion and protection functions. It does not implement USB-C PD communication (BMC, CC logic, or policy engine). However, it interfaces seamlessly with USB-C PD controllers (e.g., TPS65988) via SMBus for voltage/current programming and status reporting.
How is bidirectional operation enabled and controlled on the ISL95338HRTZ-T7A?
Bidirectional operation is controlled by two dedicated pins: FRWEN (analog forward enable, active >0.8V) and RVSEN (digital reverse enable, active high). Both modes can be active simultaneously only in bypass mode; normal operation requires exclusive enable. Directional current sensing (CSIP/CSIN vs. CSOP/CSON) and independent feedback (VOUTS/ADPS) ensure accurate regulation in each direction.
What is the purpose of the REF pin on the ISL95338HRTZ-T7A?
On the ISL95338HRTZ-T7A, the REF pin sets soft-start timing for both forward and reverse modes. A ceramic capacitor from REF to GND determines the ramp rate: larger capacitance yields slower startup. In forward mode, it controls VOUTS rise; in reverse mode, it controls ADPS rise. This eliminates need for external timers or firmware-controlled delays.
Can the ISL95338HRTZ-T7A operate without SMBus configuration?
Yes - the ISL95338HRTZ-T7A has default hardware-set parameters: forward output voltage determined by PROG-to-GND resistor, fixed current limits, and factory-programmed protection thresholds. SMBus is optional for dynamic reconfiguration (e.g., changing voltage during runtime, adjusting PROCHOT# thresholds, or reading telemetry). All safety-critical protections remain active without SMBus connection.
