ISL8502AEVAL1Z: 2A Synchronous Buck Regulator with
Integrated MOSFETs
The ISL8502A is a synchronous buck controller with internal
MOSFETs packaged in a small 4mmx4mm QFN package. The
ISL8502A can support a continuous load of 2A and has a very
wide input voltage range. With the switching MOSFETs
integrated into the IC, the complete regulator footprint can be
very small and provide a much more efficient solution than a
linear regulator.
The ISL8502A is capable of standalone operation or it can be
used in a master slave combination for multiple outputs that
are derived from the same input rail. Multiple slave channels
can be individually programmed such that the internal clocks
are out-of-phase. This method minimizes the ripple on the
input rail.
The switching PWM controller drives two internal N-Channel
MOSFETs in a synchronous-rectified buck converter topology.
The synchronous buck converter uses voltage-mode control
with fast transient response. The switching regulator provides
a maximum static regulation tolerance of ±1% over line, load,
and temperature ranges. The output is user-adjustable by
means of external resistors down to 0.6V.
The output is monitored for undervoltage events. The switching
regulator also has over current protection. Thermal shutdown
is integrated. The ISL8502A features a bidirectional Enable pin
that allows the part to shut itself down and pull the enable pin
low at the same time. PGOOD Rising Delay (measured from
VOUT reaching regulation to PGOOD Rising) has been reduced
from 250ms (typical) for ISL8502 to 1ms (typical) for
ISL8502A (measured at 500kHz switching frequency).

1. Add “-T*” suffix for tape and reel. Please refer to TB347 for details on reel
specifications.
2. These Intersil Pb-free plastic packaged products employ special Pb-free
material sets, molding compounds/die attach materials, and 100%
matte tin plate plus anneal (e3 termination finish, which is RoHS
compliant and compatible with both SnPb and Pb-free soldering
operations). Intersil Pb-free products are MSL classified at Pb-free peak
reflow temperatures that meet or exceed the Pb-free requirements of
IPC/JEDEC J STD-020.
3. For Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL), please see device information page
for ISL8502A. For more information on MSL please see tech brief
TB363.

What’s Inside
Evaluating Other Output Voltages
The Evaluation Board Kit contains the following materials:
• The ISL8502A datasheet
The ISL8502AEVAL kit outputs are preset to 2.5V. For a quick
evaluation of output voltages between 0.6V and VIN -1.7V, the
following resistors need to be changed in the feedback
network as shown in Equations 1 and 2:
• This EVAL KIT document
R 111 = ( R 108 ) ⁄ [( V OUT ⁄ V FB1 ),– 1]
Recommended Equipment
where R108 = 17.4kΩ; and VFB1 = 0.6V
The following materials are recommended to perform testing:
R 211 = ( R 208 ) ⁄ [( V OUT2 ⁄ V FB2 ),– 1]
• 0V to 15V power supply with at least 5A source current
capability, battery, notebook AC adapter
where R208 = 17.4kΩ; and VFB2 = 0.6V
• The ISL8502A EVAL REVD board
• Two Electronic Loads capable of sinking current up to 5A
(EQ. 1)
(EQ. 2)
• 100MHz quad-trace Oscilloscope
However, for reliable operation over the entire load and
temperature range, it is highly recommended to follow the
output filter and loop compensation network design guidelines
as listed in the ISL8502A datasheet.
• Signal generator (only if the SYNC function needs to be
evaluated)
Frequency
Quick Setup Guide
The ISL8502AEVAL can operate at switching frequencies from
500kHz to1.2MHz. R104 and R204 are used to program the
switching frequency through Equation 3:
• Digital Multimeters (DMMs)
1. Ensure that the circuit is correctly connected to the supply
and loads prior to applying any power.
2. Connect the bias supply to VIN. Plus terminal to J1(VIN) and
negative return to J2(GND).
(EQ. 3)
R 104 and ( R 204 ) = 48000 ⁄ ( fosc [ kHz ] )
