PRELIMINARY
Description
The ISL9000EV2 board is designed for customers’ use in
exploring the operation of the ISL9000 Low Dropout
Regulator IC (LDO). In this capacity, it provides an easy to
use platform for testing most of the datasheet specifications
and functionalities. It is designed to show the small space
required for all the components, while providing room to
access the signals.
The layout is intended to minimize thermal effects, to better
evaluate current limits and voltage regulation accuracy. In an
actual implementation, the area for heat sinking may be
smaller, so thermal effects may make the operation slightly
different.
The ISL9000EV2 board constitutes a complete dual voltage
regulator solution. The PCB board is 2 inches by 3 inches,
however, the actual charger components easily fit within a
0.9 x 1.6 cm area (components on one side), demonstrating
the space saving advantage of the ISL9000 in limited space
applications.
A voltage source can be connected to the two pin connector
(J2, default) or to the banana jacks (not populated). For
monitoring the output, test instruments can be connected to
the five pin connector (J13, default) or to the banana jacks or
scope probe jacks (not populated). Additional test points
provide a convenient way to monitor the POR outputs and
the signal on the bypass capacitor. This can be especially
important when testing the LDO in a temperature chamber.
Several ground pins provide reference points for test leads.
Additional “kelvin” test points are provided for VIN, VO1,
VO2, and GND to monitor the actual performance of the IC.
This removes the voltage drops across the PCB traces that
occurs at higher currents.
The board has a jumper block for enabling each of the two
LDO outputs. A shunt can be placed on J3 or J4 between
“ENx” and “LOW” pins to provide a 100kΩ pull down on each
EN pin of the device. If J3 or J4 ”HI” pins are floating, the
respective LDO output will be off, while connecting “HI” to
“ENx” will enable the output.
When it is desired that an LDO always be enabled, connect
a shunt between “ENx” and “HI” on J3 or J4. In this case the
shunt between “ENx” and “LOW” is not needed.
If an external enable signal that drives both high and low is
used to enable the LDO outputs, both shunts can be
removed from ENx.
A jumper (J10) connects the CPOR input to a 10nF capacitor
for POR timing. The jumper can be removed and replaced
by a different capacitor to ground for different power on
timing requirements.

The board also provides a connector (JP1, not populated)
which can connect to a logic analyser/pattern generator for
controlling and monitoring the output response. The
connector provides both enable inputs and POR outputs.
Finally, a daughter card connector and a jumper (J14 and J9,
not populated) allow specially assembled boards containing
untrimmed LDOs to be programmed to custom voltage
levels after board assembly. This is done at the factory, so
no additional information will be provided in this document.

What is Inside
Step 4: Connect two voltmeter positive leads to the VO1
“kelvin” connector (J13-1, “V1K”) and the VO2
“kelvin” connector (J13-5, “V2K”). The meters can
also be connected to the VO power pins J2-2 and J24 or the banana jacks, but at higher currents, these
won’t reflect the output voltage as accurately as the
kelvin connections.
Connect the negative leads to GND J13-3. (To get
the best representation of the IC output voltage under
all output loading conditions, add a ground terminal
to the GNDk pad and connect the meter ground leads
there).
The Evaluation Kit contains:
• ISL9000__EV2 Evaluation board
• The ISL9000 Data Sheet
• The ISL9000EV2 Users Guide (this document)
What is Needed
The following instruments will be needed to perform testing
(not provided):
• DC 6.5V/1A Power supply
Step 5: Connect a third voltmeter to the input. This can be
connected to the J2 terminal, but at higher inputs, the
VIk terminal will give the most accurate reading of the
voltage at the ISL9000 VIN pin.
• Two Digital Voltmeters (4.5 digit or better).
• Oscilloscope
• 2 channel, 0 to 400mA electronic load
Step 6: (Optional) Connect an electronic load to one or both
of the outputs. For the VO1 output, use the VO1
power connector J2-2 (“V1P”). For the VO2 output,
use the VO2 power connector J2-4 (“V2P”).
• Cables and wires
Quick Setup Guide
Step 1: Place shunts on J3 between “EN1” and HI”, on J4
between “EN1” and HI”, and on J10 (CPOR). This is
the factory default connection.
Step 2: Set the power supply to 3.8V with a 1.0A current limit
(then turn off).
Step 7: Monitor VO1and VO2. The voltages should reflect
the voltage of the selected part, i.e. the ISL9000NJ
EV2 board should have 3.3V and 2.8V outputs. For a
complete list of output voltages, see Table 1.
Step 3: Connect the power supply between VIN and GND
using connector J2.
Step 8: Change the loading on each output and monitor the
output voltages

OUTPUT VOLTAGE 1
For additional testing, such as load transient and line
transient response, adding the optional scope jacks will
improve the measurement, by reducing external noise. The
Scope Jack part number is included in the bill of materials as
an optional component.
If desired, banana jacks can be added to the board to
facilitate connection of the board to test equipment. Part
numbers for these optional components are included in the
bill of materials.
Improved PSRR and noise specs can be obtained by
replacing the 0.01µF (C3) capacitor with a 0.1µF capacitor.
