ISL8501EVAL1Z
1A Buck Regulator with Integrated MOSFETs
®
Application Note
The ISL8501 is a high-performance, triple output controller
that provides a single, high frequency power solution for a
variety of point of load applications. The ISL8501 integrates
a 1A standard buck PWM controller and switching MOSFET
with two 500mA LDOs.
The PWM controller in the ISL8501 drives an internal
switching N-Channel power MOSFET and requires an
external Schottky diode to generate an output voltage from
0.6V to 20V. The integrated power switch is optimized for
excellent thermal performance up to 1A of output current.
The standard buck input voltage range supports a fixed 5V
or variable 6V to 25V range. The PWM regulator switches at
a fixed frequency of 500kHz and utilizes simple voltage
mode control with input voltage feed forward to provide
flexibility in component selection and minimize solution size.
Protection features include overcurrent, undervoltage, and
thermal overload protection integrated into the IC. The
ISL8501 power good signal output indicates loss of
regulation on the PWM output.
The ISL8501 features two adjustable LDO regulators using
internal PMOS transistors as pass devices. Separate enable
pins (EN_LDO1, EN_LDO2) control each LDO output. A
single power good signal output indicates loss of regulation
on either of the two LDO outputs. Independent overcurrent
and thermal fault shutdown monitors are integrated into the
LDO section.

What’s Inside
Evaluating the Other Output Voltage
The Evaluation Board Kit contains the following materials:
The ISL8501EVAL kit outputs are preset to 3.3V, 1.2V, 1.8V;
however, all of them can be programmed using resistor
dividers using Equation 1:
• The ISL8501 EVAL REV D board
R 1 ⋅ 0.6V
R 2 = ---------------------------------V OUT – 0.6V
• The ISL8501 datasheet
• This EVAL KIT document
Recommended Equipment
The following materials are recommended to perform
testing:
(EQ. 1)
The output voltage programming resistor R2 will depend on
on the feedback resistor R1, as referred to in Figure 1. The
value of R1 is typically between 1kΩ and 10kΩ. If the output
voltage desired is 0.6V, then R2 is left opened.
• 0V to 25V power supply with at least 5A source current
capability, battery, notebook AC adapter

REFERENCE
Quick Setup Guide
1. Ensure that the circuit is correctly connected to the supply
and loads prior to applying any power.
FIGURE 1. EXTERNAL RESISTOR DIVIDER
2. Connect the bias supply to VIN, the plus terminal to TP1
(VCC) and the negative return to TP6 (GND).

4. Turn on the power supply.
5. Verify the PG_PWM LED is on and that the output voltage
is 3.3V for VOUT1 (TP3).
6. Turn on SW2 and SW3 to ENABLE. If VLDO1 is
connected to a separate power supply, remove R25 from
the bottom first, then turn on SW2 and SW3.
7. Verify the PG_LDO LED is on and LDO output voltages
are 1.2V for VOUT2 (TP7) and 1.8V for VOUT3 (TP8).
