Quick Setup Guide
The ISL97656IRTZEVALZ is an evaluation kit for evaluating
the ISL97656, a step-up voltage regulator that operates with
high frequency and high efficiency. This evaluation kit is
designed to deliver up to 2A output current for portable
equipment and TFT-LCD display.
The ISL97656IRTZEVALZ evaluation kit provides a dip
switch that allows users to select either 620kHz or 1.2MHz
frequency.
1. Connect power supply between headers of VIN and
VIN_GND. The positive output of the power supply should
be connected to VIN header. Set power supply voltage
between 2.3V and 5V, and current limit at 4A.
2. Connect E-load between headers of VOUT and
OUT_GND. The positive input of the E-load should be
connected to VOUT header. Set E-load current. The load
current should not exceed the maximum output current in
Table 1.
3. Close pins 1 and 4 of S1 to tie FREQ pin to VIN to set
1.25MHz switching frequency. Open pins 1 and 4 to pull
FREQ to ground with R4 to set 620kHz.
Key Features
• A Complete Evaluation Platform for the ISL97656
Evaluation
4. Close pins 2 and 3 of S1 to tie EN pin to VIN to enable the
part. Open pins 2 and 3 to pull EN to ground with R3 to
disable the part.
• Input Voltage: 2.3V to 5.5V
• Proven Evaluation Board Layout
5. Make sure all the connections on the evaluation board
are correct, then turn on power supply and E-load. The
part starts to operate.
• Pb-Free (RoHS Compliant)
What is Needed
The following instruments will be needed to perform testing:
• Power Supplies
• DC Electronic Load
• Multimeters
Maximum Output Current
The MOSFET current limit is normally 4A and guaranteed
3.8A. This restricts the maximum output current that the
ISL97656 can drive.Table 1 shows typical maximum IOUT
values for 1.2MHz switching frequency and 10µH inductor.
