ISL70001ASEHEV1Z Evaluation Board
The ISL70001ASEHEV1Z evaluation board is designed to
demonstrate the features of the ISL70001ASEH, a TID and SEE
hardened 6A synchronous buck regulator IC with integrated
MOSFETs intended for Space applications. For more detailed
information about the ISL70001ASEH, please refer to the
ISL70001ASEH datasheet.
Recommended Test Equipment
The ISL70001ASEHEV1Z evaluation board accepts a nominal 3V
to 5.5V input voltage and provides a regulated output voltage
ranging from 0.8V to 85% of the input voltage at output currents
ranging from 0A to 6A. The output can be quickly set to any of six
commonly used preset voltages (0.8V, 1.0V, 1.2V, 1.8V, 2.5V,
3.3V) or adjusted to an alternate voltage using the onboard
potentiometer. A PGOOD (Power-Good) signal goes high and
lights a red LED to indicate that the output voltage is within a
±11% typical regulation window. A toggle switch is provided to
conveniently enable or disable the output voltage.
• A 500MHz dual-trace oscilloscope.
The ISL70001ASEHEV1Z evaluation board can be set to run from
the nominal 1MHz internal oscillator of the ISL70001ASEH or
synchronized to a 1MHz ±20% external clock. Two or more
ISL70001ASEHEV1Z evaluation boards can be synchronized to
each other in a Master/Slave configuration, with all Slave units
switching 180° out-of-phase with respect to the Master unit.
Schematic and BOM
A schematic and BOM of the ISL70001ASEHEV1Z evaluation
board are shown in Figure 1 and Table 1, respectively. The
schematic indicates numerous test points, which allow virtually
all nodes of the evaluation circuit to be monitored directly. The
BOM shows components that are representative of the types
needed for a design, but these components are not
space-qualified. Equivalent space-qualified components would
be required for flight applications.
• A 0V to 6V power supply with at least 10A source current
capability.
• An electronic load capable of sinking current up to 6A.
• Two digital multimeters (DMMs).
Quick Start
1. Short J1, J2 (pins 2-3), J4 (pins 1-2), J5 and J15.
2. Open J3, J7 and J9-J13.
3. Toggle S2 to the down (OFF) position.
4. Turn on the power supply. Set the output voltage to 3.3V and
set the output current limit to 10A. Turn off the power supply.
5. Connect the positive lead of the power supply to TP1 and the
negative lead of the power supply to TP2.
6. Turn on the electronic load and set the output current to 3A.
7. Connect the positive lead of the electronic load to TP44 and
connect the negative lead of the electronic load to TP45.
8. Configure one DMM to monitor the input voltage from TP22 to
TP25.
9. Configure another DMM to monitor the output voltage from
TP38 to TP39.
10. Connect Channel 1 of the oscilloscope to J6 (or from TP33 to
TP28) to monitor the rectangular waveform on the LXx pins.
11. Connect Channel 2 of the oscilloscope to J14 (or from TP36 to
TP37) to monitor the output voltage.
12. Toggle S2 to the up (ON) position.
13. Verify the output voltage is 0.8V ±3% and the frequency of the
LXx waveform is 1MHz ±10%.
Configuration Options
The ISL70001ASEHEV1Z evaluation board can be easily
configured for a number of different applications. Table 2
provides the available settings for the jumpers and toggle switch
and explains their respective functions.

TABLE 2. CONFIGURATION OPTIONS

SETTING
FUNCTION
Short
Selects AVDD to be monitored by the EN pin through a resistive divider (R4 and R6) if S2 is toggled to the down
position.
Open
Allows an external voltage connected to TP5 to be monitored by the EN pin through a resistive divider (R4 and R6)
if S2 is toggled to the down position.
Short 2-3
Selects Master mode, which forces the chip to run from the internal 1MHz oscillator. In Master mode, the SYNC
pin is an output that provides a nominal 1MHz clock signal.
Short 1-2
Selects Slave mode, which allows the chip to be synchronized to another ISL70001ASEH or to an external clock. In Slave
mode, the SYNC pin is an input that accepts a 1MHz synchronizing signal from the SYNC pin of another ISL70001ASEH
configured as a Master or from an external clock.
Short
Loads the SYNC pin with R5, which is a 10kΩ resistor. If synchronization to an external clock over long distances
is required, it may be necessary to use a controlled impedance trace to avoid excessive ringing on the SYNC line.
If this is the case, the SYNC trace should be terminated into 50Ω at the Slave units. This can be accomplished by
replacing R5 on the Slave units with a 50Ωresistor. Please note that the SYNC pin of an ISL70001ASEH is not
designed to drive a 50Ω load.
Open
Disconnects the SYNC pin from R5.

Allows output voltages other than 0.8V to be selected.
Short
Selects the 1.0V preset output voltage option as long as J5 and J9-J13 are open.
Open
Allows output voltages other than 1.0V to be selected.
Short
Selects the 1.2V preset output voltage option as long as J5, J7 and J10-J13 are open.
Open
Allows output voltages other than 1.2V to be selected.
Short
Selects the 1.8V preset output voltage option as long as J5, J7, J9 and J11-J13 are open.
Open
Allows output voltages other than 1.8V to be selected.
Short
Selects the 2.5V preset output voltage option as long as J5, J7, J9-J10 and J12-J13 are open.
Open
Allows output voltages other than 2.5V to be selected.
Short
Selects the 3.3V preset output voltage option as long as J5, J7, J9-J11 and J13 are open.
Open
Allows output voltages other than 3.3V to be selected.
Short
Selects the adjustable output voltage option as long as J5, J7 and J9-J12 are open. Potentiometer, R17, can be
used to adjust the output voltage.
Open
Allows the preset output voltage options to be selected.
Short
Shorts out R18, allowing normal operation of the evaluation board.
Open
Facilitates control loop stability measurements by allowing a signal to be injected across R18.
Short 2-3
S1 in the up position shorts contacts 2-3. This pulls the EN pin low to disable the output voltage.
Short 1-2
S1 in the down position shorts contacts 1-2. This enables the output voltage as long as the voltage on the EN pin
exceeds 0.6V.

Layout Guidelines
7. Locate the Schottky diode, D1, as close as possible to the LXx
and PGNDx pins of the IC. A smaller Schottky diode may be
used as long as derating requirements are satisfied.
1. Use a four layer PCB with 2 ounce copper.
2. Layer 2 should be a dedicated ground plane and layer 3
should be a dedicated power plane split between VIN and
VOUT.
3. Layers 1 and 4 should be used primarily for signals, but can
also be used to increase the VIN, VOUT and ground planes as
required.
4. Connect all AGND, DGND and PGNDx pins directly to the
ground plane. Connect all PVINx pins directly to the VIN
portion of the power plane.
5. Locate ceramic bypass capacitors as close as possible to U1.
Prioritize the placement of the bypass capacitors on the pins
of U1 in the order shown: REF, SS, AVDD, DVDD, PVINx (C5,
C7), EN, PGOOD, PVINx (C1-C4).
6. Locate the output voltage resistive divider as close as
possible to the FB pin of the IC. The top leg of the divider
should connect directly to the POL (Point Of Load) and the
bottom leg of the resistive divider should connect directly to
AGND. The junction of the resistive divider should connect
directly to the FB pin.
8. Use a small island of copper to connect the LXx pins of U1 to
the inductor, L1, on layers 1 and 4. Void the copper on layers
2 and 3 adjacent to the island to minimize capacitive
coupling. Place most of the island on layer 4 to minimize the
amount of copper that must be voided from the ground layer
(layer 2).
9. Keep all signal traces as short as possible.
10. A small series snubber (R10 and C14) connected from the
LXx pins to the PGNDx pins may be used to damp ringing on
the LXx pins if desired.
11. For optimum thermal performance, place a pattern of vias on
the top layer of the PCB directly underneath U1. Connect the
vias to the ground plane (layer 2), which serves as a heatsink.
Thermal interface material such as a Sil-Pad should be used
to fill the gap between the vias and the bottom of U1 to insure
good thermal contact. Using a Sil-Pad has the added benefit
of raising the bottom of U1 from the PCB surface so that a
slight bend can be added to the leads for strain relief.
12. Refer to Figures 2 through 7 for an example layout.
