ISL97516IUZEVALZ Evaluation Board Application
Manual
Description
Quick Setup Guide
The ISL97516IUZEVALZ evaluation board is an evaluation kit
for evaluating the ISL97516, a step-up voltage regulator that
operates with high frequency and high efficiency. This
evaluation kit is designed to deliver over 90% efficiency.
1. Connect power supply between headers of VIN and 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 3A.
The ISL97516IUZEVALZ kit provides a dip switch that allows
users to select either 620kHz or 1.2MHz switching frequency.
2. Connect E-load between headers of VOUT and 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 the part can supply.
Key Features
• A Complete evaluation platform for ISL97516 evaluation
• Input voltage: 2.3V to 5.5V
4. Close pins 2 and 3 of S1 to tie EN pin to VIN to enable the
part. To disable the part, open pins 2 and 3 to pull EN to
ground with R3 to disable the part.
• Proven evaluation board layout
• Pb-free (RoHS compliant)
What is Needed
The following instruments will be needed to perform testing:
• Power supplies
Make sure all the connections on the evaluation board are
correct, then turn on power supply and E-load. The part starts
to operate.
Maximum Output Current
• DC electronic load
The MOSFET current limit is normally 2.0A and guaranteed
1.7A. This restricts the maximum output current that the
ISL97516 can drive. Table 1 shows the ISL97516EVAL1Z
maximum output current, IOMAX in different input and output
voltages.
• Multimeters
• Oscilloscope
• Cables and wires

3. Close pins 1 and 4 of S1 to tie FSEL pin to VIN. This will set
the switching frequency to 1.2MHz. Open pins 1 and 4 to
pull FSEL to ground with R4 to set 620kHz.
