Product details
Overview
ISL98608II55Z-T from Renesas (formerly Intersil) is a highly integrated dual-rail power supply IC for small TFT-LCD displays, generating ±5.5V outputs (adjustable from ±4.5V to ±7V in 50mV steps) from a 2.5V–5V input. It integrates a synchronous boost regulator, LDO, and inverting charge pump with I²C programmability, achieving >89% efficiency at 12mA load and occupying only 18mm² PCB area.
For engineers reviewing the ISL98608II55Z-T datasheet, ISL98608II55Z-T pinout, ISL98608II55Z-T application, or ISL98608II55Z-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its WLCSP-16 package size, programmable sequencing control, integrated discharge resistors, ±5.5V default rail generation, and suitability for Li-ion battery-powered handheld display systems requiring compact, high-efficiency dual-polarity supplies.
Technical Context
The ISL98608II55Z-T implements a three-stage architecture: a synchronous boost converter (VBST) powers both an LDO (VP) and an inverting charge pump (VN), enabling independent regulation of positive and negative rails. Its I²C interface controls output voltages, soft-start timing, and enable sequencing-critical for minimizing display panel stress during power-up/down.
Internal compensation, integrated MOSFETs, and dedicated discharge paths eliminate external components for feedback, gate drive, and rail discharge. The device operates across –40°C to +85°C and features thermal shutdown (150°C), undervoltage lockout (2.32V), and rail-specific undervoltage protection (60% of VP/VN).

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-rail display power applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS65136RGTR | Fixed ±5.0V outputs; no I²C interface; requires external resistors for voltage adjustment; larger 3mm × 3mm QFN package. | Limited to fixed-rail designs; lacks dynamic voltage scaling and sequencing control needed for multi-panel platforms. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs programmability needs and board space allows larger package. |
| MAX17205ETE+T | Supports ±5.5V but uses SPI instead of I²C; includes integrated backlight LED driver; higher quiescent current (5µA vs. 1µA). | Better suited for integrated display modules combining power and lighting; less optimal for pure bias-only applications with strict shutdown current budgets. | Choose when simultaneous LED backlight control is required and I²C bus resources are constrained. |
Compared with TPS65136RGTR and MAX17205ETE+T, the ISL98608II55Z-T uniquely combines ultra-compact WLCSP packaging, I²C-based fine-grained voltage control (50mV steps), and sub-2µA shutdown current-making it optimal for next-generation space- and battery-limited handheld displays demanding flexibility and minimal footprint.

FAQ
What is the default output voltage configuration of the ISL98608II55Z-T?
The ISL98608II55Z-T defaults to +5.5V on VP and –5.5V on VN at power-up, as defined by factory-programmed register values (Register 0x09 = 0x00 for VP, Register 0x08 = 0x00 for VN). These voltages are fully adjustable via I²C commands to any value between +4.5V/+7.0V and –4.5V/–7.0V in 50mV increments, enabling precise matching to display panel specifications without hardware modification. This behavior is confirmed in the Electrical Specifications table on page 7 of FN8711 Rev.1.00.
Does the ISL98608II55Z-T require external compensation components?
No, the ISL98608II55Z-T integrates all compensation and feedback circuitry internally, eliminating the need for external capacitors or resistors in the regulation loop. This integration reduces total solution size to just 18mm² and ensures stable operation across –40°C to +85°C without tuning. The datasheet explicitly states "ISL98608 integrates all compensation and feedback components" on page 1, and the Application Circuit Diagram (Figure 3, page 4) shows zero external compensation elements connected to VP or VN. This design choice simplifies layout and improves production yield.
How does the ISL98608II55Z-T manage power sequencing between VP and VN rails?
The ISL98608II55Z-T provides programmable sequencing control through Registers 0x04 (startup) and 0x05 (shutdown), allowing independent enable/disable timing for VP and VN. Setting bit b4 in Register 0x04 to '0' sequences VP before VN during startup, while '1' enables simultaneous turn-on. Similarly, Register 0x05 b4 controls shutdown order. This prevents reverse biasing or latch-up in TFT panels during transitions. Performance curves in Figures 37–43 and 45–52 of FN8711 Rev.1.00 validate this behavior under varying input voltages and load conditions.
What package type and dimensions does the ISL98608II55Z-T use?
The ISL98608II55Z-T uses a 16-ball, 4×4 array Wafer-Level Chip-Scale Package (WLCSP) with 0.4mm pitch and physical dimensions of 1.744mm × 1.744mm. This RoHS-compliant package is specified in the Ordering Information table (page 4) and Package Outline Drawing (page 39) of FN8711 Rev.1.00. Its ultra-compact size enables placement directly beneath narrow-bezel display flex cables, making it ideal for modern smartphone and wearable display modules where board area is at a premium.
Can the ISL98608II55Z-T operate from a 2.5V input supply?
Yes, the ISL98608II55Z-T supports an input voltage range of 2.5V to 5.0V, as specified in the Recommended Operating Conditions table (page 6) and validated in Figures 37, 41, 45, and 49 of FN8711 Rev.1.00, which show successful soft-start and regulation at VIN = 2.5V. This capability allows direct connection to partially discharged Li-ion cells (down to ~2.8V) or low-dropout regulators in multi-rail systems, ensuring reliable operation across full battery discharge cycles without brownout.
