AN1388.1
Quick Setup Guide
The ISL8009AEVAL1Z kit is intended for use by individuals
with requirements for Point-of-Load applications sourcing
from 2.7V to 5.5V. The ISL8009EVAL1Z evaluation board
demonstrates the performance of the ISL8009A low
quiescent current mode converter.
1. Ensure that the circuit is correctly connected to the supply
and loads prior to applying any power.
The ISL8009A is offered in a 2mmx3mm 8 Ld DFN package
with 1mm maximum height. The complete converter
occupies less than 1cm2 area.
4. Turn on the power supply.
Key Features
• High Efficiency Synchronous Buck Regulator With up to
95% Efficiency
2. Connect the bias supply to VIN. Plus terminal to P4(VIN)
and negative return to P5(GND).
3. Verify that position is ON for SW1.
5. Verify the output voltage is 1.8V for VOUT
Evaluating the Other Output Voltage
The ISL8009AEVALIZ kit output is preset to 1.8V; however,
output voltages can be adjusted from 0.8V to 3.3V by
following Equations 1 and 2:
R 1⎞
⎛
V OUT = 0.8 ⎜ 1 + -------⎟
R 2⎠
⎝
• 2ms Reset Timer
• Soft Discharge Output Cap During Disable
(EQ. 1)
Let’s set R1= 124kΩ:
• 2.7V to 5.5V Supply Voltage
• 1.5A Guaranteed Output Current
( R1 )
R 2 = ------------------------------V OUT
⎛ ----------------⎞ – 1
⎝ 0.8 ⎠
• 17µA Quiescent Supply Current in PFM Mode
If desired output is 0.8V then short R1 and open R2.
• Selectable Forced PWM Mode and PFM Mode
Mode Control
• Less Than 1µA Logic Controlled Shutdown Current
The ISL8009A has a SKIP pin that controls the operation
mode. When the SKIP pin is driven to low or shorted to
ground, the regulator operates in a forced PWM mode. The
forced PWM mode remains the fixed PWM frequency at light
load instead of entering the skip mode.
• 3% Output Accuracy Over-Temperature/Load/Line
• 90% Maximum Duty Cycle for Lowest Dropout
• Internal Current Mode Compensation
• Internal Digital Soft-Start
(EQ. 2)
