ISL8130EVAL2Z - User Guide
Introduction
The ISL8130 is a wide input range, synchronous buck
controller. It is designed to drive N-Channel MOSFETs in a
synchronous rectified buck topology for up to 25A load current.
The ISL8130 integrates control, output adjustment, monitoring
and protection functions into a single package. All the
necessary components are with a 2.125 inch by 1.25 inch PCB
area.
The ISL8130EVAL2Z provides simple, voltage mode control
with fast transient response. The 0.6V internal reference as
well as external reference can be selected via the REFIN pin.

Quick Test Setup
1. Ensure that the Eval board is correctly connected to the
power supply and the electronic load prior to apply any
power. Please refer to Figure 2 for proper set-up.
2. Connect jumpers J1 to the Internal Reference position;
Connect jumper J8 to the Disable position.
3. Turn on the power supply, VIN = 12V. The PWM should be
inhibited at this time.
4. Connect jumper J8 to the Enable position. Adjust input
voltage VIN within the specified range and observe output
voltage. The output voltage variation should be within
4.75V to 5.25V.
5. Adjust load current within 25A. The output voltage variation
should be within 4.75V to 5.25V.
6. Use oscilloscope to observe output ripple voltage and
phase node ringing. For accurate measurement, please
refer to Figure 3 for proper probe set-up.

7. Optimization. Please refer to Table 2 for optimization
recommendation.
NOTE: Test points: VOUT, GND, GND, VIN are for voltage measurement
only. Do not allow high current through these test points.

External Reference
If REFIN pin is tied to VCC5, then the internal 0.6V reference is
used as the error amplifier non-inverting input. If the REFIN is
connected to an external voltage source between 0.6V to 1.25V,
then this external voltage is used as the reference voltage at the
positive input of the error amplifier.
