ISL8033EVAL1Z, ISL8033AEVAL1Z Dual 3A Low
Quiescent Current High Efficiency Synchronous Buck
Regulator
Description
Quick Setup Guide
The ISL8033EVAL1Z, ISL8033AEVAL1Z evaluation boards are
intended for use by individuals with requirements for
point of load applications sourcing from 2.85V to 6V. The
ISL8033EVAL1Z and ISL8033AEVAL1Z boards are used to
demonstrate the performance of the ISL8033 and ISL8033A
low quiescent current mode converters.
The ISL8033 and ISL8033A are offered in a 4mmx4mm 24 Ld
QFN package with 1mm maximum height. The complete
converter occupies less than 5.46cm2 area.
1. Ensure that the circuit is correctly connected to the supply
and loads prior to applying any power.
2. Connect the bias supply to VIN1, the plus terminal to VIN1
and the negative return to PGND1.
3. Verify that position is ON for SW2 and SW3.
4. Turn on the power supply.
5. Verify the output voltage is 1.8V for VOUT1 and 1.8V for
VOUT2.
Evaluating the Other Output Voltage
Key Features
• 2.85V to 6V supply voltage
The ISL8033EVAL1Z and ISL8033AEVAL1Z outputs are preset
to 1.8V for VOUT1 and 1.8V for VOUT2; however, output voltages
can be adjusted from 0.8V to 3.3V. The output voltage
programming resistor, R2 (or R5 in Channel 2), will depend on
the desired output voltage of the regulator. The value for the
feedback resistor is typically between 0Ω and 750kΩ as shown
in Equation 1.
• 2% output accuracy over temperature/load/line
Let’s set R3/R6 = 100kΩthen R2/R5 will be:,
• Start-up with pre-biased output
VOUT
R 2 = R 3  ------------------ – 1
 VFB

• Dual 3A high efficiency synchronous buck regulator with up
to 95% efficiency
• 180° out-of-phase
• Power-Good (PG) output with 1ms delay
• Internal digital soft-start - 1.5ms
• Soft-stop output discharge during disabled
(EQ. 1)
• Typical 8µA logic controlled shutdown current
If the output voltage desired is 0.8V, then leave R3
unpopulated and short R2. For faster response performance,
add 47pF in parallel to R2.
• 100% maximum duty cycle for lowest dropout
Mode Control
• Internal current mode compensation
The ISL8033 and ISL8033A have a SYNC pin. Connect to logic
high or input voltage VIN for PWM internal synchronization.
Connect to an external function generator for external
synchronization. Negative edge trigger. Do not leave this pin
floating. Do not tie this pin low (or to GND).
• External synchronization up to 6MHz
• Peak current limiting, hiccup mode short-circuit protection
and over-temperature protection
• Negative current detection and protection
Recommended Equipment
TABLE 1. SWITCH SETTINGS
The following materials are recommended to perform testing:
• 0V to 10V power supply with at least 3A source current
capability or 5V battery
• Electronic loads capable of sinking current up to 3A
• Digital Multimeters (DMMs)
• 100MHz quad-trace oscilloscope
• Signal generator
