Dual 800mA Low Quiescent Current High Efficiency
Synchronous Buck Regulator-Small Form Factor
Description
Key Features
The ISL8088EVAL2Z kit is intended for use by individuals with
requirements for Point-of-Load applications sourcing from 2.75V
to 5.5V. The ISL8088EVAL2Z board is used to demonstrate the
performance of the ISL8088 low quiescent current mode
converter.
• Dual 800mA High Efficiency Synchronous Buck Regulator with
up to 97% Efficiency
The ISL8088 is offered in a 3mmx3mm 10 Ld DFN package with
1mm maximum height. The complete converter occupies less
than 0.120in2 area.
• 800mA Guaranteed Output Current per channel
• Power-Goods (PG) output with 1ms Delay
• 2.75V to 5.5V Supply Voltage
• 3% Output Accuracy Over-Temperature/Load/Line
• Start up with Pre-biased Output
• Internal Digital Soft-Start - 2ms
Recommended Equipment
• Soft-Stop Output Discharge During Disabled
The following materials are recommended to perform testing:
• 30µA Quiescent Supply Current in PFM Mode
• 0V to 10V Power Supply with at least 3A source current
capability or 5V battery
• Selectable Forced PWM Mode and PFM Mode
• External Synchronization up to 4MHz
• Electronic Loads capable of sinking current up to 3A
• Typical 6.5µA Logic Controlled Shutdown Current
• Digital Multimeters (DMMs)
• 100% Maximum Duty Cycle for Lowest Dropout
• 100MHz quad-trace oscilloscope
• Internal Current Mode Compensation
• Signal generator
• Peak Current Limiting.
Quick Setup Guide
• Over-Temperature Protection
1. Ensure that the circuit is correctly connected to the supply and
loads prior to applying any power.
• Independent Enable
2. Connect the bias supply to VIN. Plus terminal to VIN and
negative return to P1.
3. Turn on the power supply.
4. Verify the output voltage is 2.5V for VOUT1 and 1.8V for VOUT2.
