User Guide 066 ISL91107IRx-EVZ Evaluation Boards User Guide Description Key Board Features The ISL91107IR is a high-current buck-boost switching regulator for systems using new battery chemistries. It uses Intersil’s proprietary buck-boost algorithm to maintain voltage regulation, while providing excellent efficiency and very low output voltage ripple when the input voltage is close to the output voltage. The ISL91107IRN-EVZ and ISL91107IRA-EVZ platforms allow quick evaluation of the high performance features of the ISL91107IR buck-boost regulator. • Small, compact design • Jumper selectable EN (enabled/disabled) • Jumper selectable MODE (auto-PFM/forced-PWM) • Connectors, test points and jumpers for easy probing References • ISL91107IR Datasheet Specifications Ordering Information The boards are designed to operate at the following operating conditions: PART NUMBER • Input voltage rating from 1.8V to 5.5V • Resistor programmable output voltage on the ISL91107IRA-EVZ DESCRIPTION ISL91107IRN-EVZ Evaluation Board for ISL91107IRTNZ ISL91107IRA-EVZ Evaluation Board for ISL91107IRTAZ • Fixed 3.3V output voltage on the ISL91107IRN-EVZ • Up to 2A output current (PVIN = 2.8V, VOUT = 3.3V) • 2.5MHz switching frequency • Operating temperature range: -40°C to +85°C ISL91107IRAZ VIN PVIN GND VIN LX1 LX2 VOUT VOUT MODE FB GND EN SGND PGND FIGURE 1.

User Guide 066 Functional Description The ISL91107IRN-EVZ and ISL91107IRA-EVZ provide simple platforms to demonstrate the features of the ISL91107IR buck-boost regulator. The ISL91107IRN-EVZ is for the fixed 3.3V output IC ISL91107IRTNZ. The ISL91107IRA-EVZ is for the adjustable output IC ISL91107IRTAZ. The Evaluation boards have been functionally optimized for best performance of the ISL91107IR IC series. The input power and load connections are provided through multi-pin connectors for high current operations. Measure the input and output currents. Calculate efficiency based on these measurements.

The board’s enable function is controlled by the on-board jumper header J3. Similarly the Mode function is controlled by the on-board jumper header J4. 3.3 60.4 3.4 57.6 3.6 53.6 The schematic of the ISL91107IRA-EVZ evaluation board is shown in Figure 6. The schematic for the ISL91107IRN-EVZ is shown in Figure 7. The PCB layout images for all layers are shown in Figures 8 through 9. The bill of materials of the ISL91107IRA-EVZ is shown in Table 2. The bill of materials of the ISL91107IRN-EVZ is shown in Table 3. 4.0 46.4 EN (2V/DIV) Operating Range The VIN range of the boards is 1.8V to 5.5V. The adjustable VOUT range for the ISL91107IRA-EVZ is 1V to 5.2V. The IOUT range of the boards is 0 to 2A. The operating ambient temperature range: -40°C to +85°C. VOUT (1V/DIV) INDUCTOR CURRENT (200mA/DIV) Quick Start Guide For the ISL91107IRA-EVZ board, the default output voltage is set at 3.3V. If other output voltages are desired, resistor R2 can be set to a desired voltage as shown in Table 1 (use a resistor with 1% accuracy). 1ms/DIV FIGURE 2. ISL91107IR START-UP WITH VIN = 2V AND VOUT = 3.3V Refer to the “Quick Setup Guide” to configure and power-up the board for proper operation. During the power-on process, the expected waveforms are shown in Figures 2 and 3. EN (2V/DIV) Quick Setup Guide 1. Install jumper on J3, shorting EN to VIN. 2. Install jumper on J4, shorting MODE to VIN. 3. Connect power supply to J1, with voltage setting between 1.8V and 5.5V. VOUT (1V/DIV) 4. Connect electronic load to J2. 5. Place scope probes on the VOUT test point and other test points of interest. INDUCTOR CURRENT (200mA/DIV) 6. Turn on the power supply. 7. Monitor the output voltage start-up sequence on the scope. The waveforms will look similar to that shown in Figures 2 and 3. 1ms/DIV FIGURE 3. ISL91107IR START-UP WITH VIN = 4V AND VOUT = 3.3V 8. Turn on the electronic load. 9. Measure the output voltage with the voltmeter. The voltage should regulate within datasheet specific limits. 10. To determine efficiency, measure input and output voltages at J1 and J2 headers. The bench power supply can be connected to the PVIN and GND headers on J1. The electronic load can be connected to the VOUT and GND headers on J2.
