ISL6237EVAL1 Evaluation Kit
®
Application Note
This application note describes the ISL6237 evaluation
board intended for applications in notebook computers and
other battery-powered devices.
Description
As notebook computer and battery-powered equipment
complexity increases, higher levels of power management
integration are required to meet market demands. To
respond to the dynamic needs of its customers, Intersil
introduces the quad outputs, multi-function power supply
controller ISL6237. Its two fully programmable Switch-Mode
Power Supplies (SPMS), one programmable and one fixed
LDO outputs provide a robust power management solution
for an extremely wide range of applications. In addition, it
includes an optional 14V charge pump. For more information
on the detailed workings of the ISL6237, please consult the
ISL6237 Data Sheet on the Intersil Company website
(http://www.intersil.com)

Quick Setup Guide
1. Set the +25V power supply to +7V and place in the
“STANDBY” or “OFF” position. Connect the positive
terminal (+) of the supply to the +VIN terminal P1 and the
negative terminal (-) of the supply to GND P2.
2. Connect the positive terminal (+) of the electronic load to
the VOUT1 terminal P5. Connect the negative terminal (-)
of the electronic load to the GND terminal P6. Make sure
the electronic load is set to the 0A condition.
3. Check to ensure all switches are in their default positions
prior to application of power (refer to “Detailed
Description of Switch Settings.” on page 2).
4. Set all power supplies to the “ON” position. Check both
5V and 25V power supply outputs with a DMM to ensure
correct voltage levels. Adjust if necessary.
5. Measure the default output voltages using DMM across
the test points.
•VOUT1: P7(+) to P8(-), it should read 5.0V
•VOUT2: P5(+) to P6(-), It should read 3.3V
What’s Inside
The Evaluation Board Kit contains the following materials:
•LDO: P3(+) to P4(-), It should read 3.3V
•VREF3: P14(+) to P8(-), It should read 3.3V
• ISL6237 EVAL1 REV B Board
•CHARGE PUMP: P28(+) to P8(-), it should read 14.0V.
• ISL6237 Data Sheet
• ISL6237 Application Note (this document)
At this point, the board has been properly powered up.
Normal testing can begin.
What’s Needed
Summary
The following materials will be needed to perform testing:
The ISL6237EVAL1 is an adaptable evaluation tool which
showcases the performance of the ISL6237 chipset
designed to meet the power management requirements of
personal notebook computers or portable devices.
• +25V, 20A Power Supply
• +5.0V, 750mA Power Supply
• Electronic Load up to 15A
The following pages provide jumper settings, pinout,
schematic of the board, bill of materials and layout drawings
to support implementation of this solution.
• Precision digital multimeter
• 4-Channel oscilloscope
Note: amperage rating of power supplies are determined by
maximum expected loading plus a percentage margin of
error.
The Intersil’s total power management portfolio continues to
expand with new selections to better fit our customer’s
needs. Refer to our web site for updated information:
