Description
Recommended Equipment
The ISL8500EVAL1Z REV A kit is intended for use by
individuals with requirements for Point-of-Load applications
sourcing from 4.5V to 25V. The ISL8500EVAL1Z evaluation
board is used to demonstrate the performance of the
ISL8500 standard buck regulator.
The following materials are recommended to perform
testing:
The ISL8500 is offered in a 4mmx3mm 12 Ld DFN package
with 1mm maximum height. The complete converter
occupies less than 0.425in2 area.
• 0V to 25V power supply with at least 5A source current
capability, battery, notebook AC adapter
• One electronic load capable of sinking current up to 5A
• Digital Multimeters (DMMs)
• 100MHz quad-trace oscilloscope
Features
• Signal generator
• Standard Buck Controller with Integrated Switching Power
MOSFET
Quick Setup Guide
• Integrated Boot Diode
1. Ensure that the circuit is correctly connected to the supply
and loads prior to applying any power.
• Input Voltage Range
- Fixed 5V ±10%
- Variable 5.5V to 25V
2. Connect the bias supply to VIN, the plus terminal to TP1
(VIN) and the negative return to TP2 (GND).
• PWM Output Voltage Adjustable from 0.6V to 20V with
Continuous Output Current up to 2A
4. Turn on the power supply.
3. Verify that SW1 is on ENABLE.
• Voltage Mode Control with Voltage Feed Forward
5. Verify the PG is on and the output voltage is 2.5V for
VOUT(TP3).
Evaluating the Other Output Voltage
• Fixed 500kHz Switching Frequency
The ISL8500EVAL kit outputs are preset to 2.5V; however, it
can be programmed using resistor dividers using Equation 1:
• Externally Adjustable Soft-Start Time
• Output Undervoltage Protection
R 1 ⋅ 0.6V
R 2 = ---------------------------------V OUT – 0.6V
• PGOOD Output
(EQ. 1)
• Overcurrent Protection
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.
• Thermal Overload Protection
• Internal 5V LDO regulator
