ISL8216MEVAL1Z Evaluation Board User’s Guide
Description
Recommended Equipment
The ISL8216M is a simple and easy to use, high voltage DC/DC
module. The ISL8216M is ideal for servers, 48V
telecom/datacom applications, 12V/42V automotive and
industrial equipment, and other distributed power
converters/point-of-load (POL) applications. Only few passive
components and a VOUT setting resistor are needed for a
complete a high voltage power design.
• 10V to 80V (or other voltage rating depending on desired
input voltage for the ISL8216M) power supply with at least
2A source current capability
The ISL8216MEVAL1Z provides an evaluation platform for the
ISL8216M. The input voltage range is from 10V to 80V, and the
output voltage is preset to five options, 5V, 12V, 20V, 24V and
30V. Any other output voltages within the range from 2.5V to
30V can be set with a single resistor.
Quick Start
• Electronic load capable of sinking current up to 4A
• Digital multimeters (DMMs)
• 100MHz quad-trace oscilloscope
1. Select the output voltage by using one of the five jumpers
JP1 to JP5, for 5V, 12V, 20V, 24V or 30V.
2. Connect the VIN (J1) and PGND (J2) terminals to a power
supply and connect the load to the VOUT (J4) and PGND (J3)
terminals.
3. Set the input power supply to desired input voltage between
10V to 80V; note that the input voltage must be higher than
the selected output voltage.
4. Enable the power supply first before turning on the load,
preset the load to 0A.
5. Toggle switch SW1 to the lower position denoted “ENABLE”.
The PGOOD INDICATOR LED should glow in green to indicate
proper operation. Use the digital multimeter to check the
output voltage.

The ISL8216MEVAL1Z evaluation board has several output voltages
preset for user’s convenience. The 5V, 12V, 20V, 24V, and 30V can
be easily selected by shorting their appropriate jumper. If any other
output voltage between 2.5V and 30V is desired, the user can use a
feedback resistor based on Equation 1.

NOTE: The output voltage accuracy is not only dependent on the module’s
internal reference voltage, but also on the feedback resistance accuracy.
For higher overall output accuracy, the customer should select a high
accuracy resistor (i.e; 0.5%).
Programming the Switching Frequency
The ISL8216M has an internally set fixed switching frequency of
300kHz. By adding a resistor between VIN and RTCT and a
capacitor between RTCT and SGND, the module’s switching
frequency can be adjusted between 200kHz to 600kHz. The
place holders for the resistor (R5) and capacitor (C5) are provided
on the ISL8216MEVAL1Z evaluation board for the user’s
convenience. Refer to the ISL8216M datasheet for optimum
switching frequency for different conditions.
The SYNC pin can provide the function to synchronize the
ISL8216M’s switching frequency to an external source. When
frequency synchronization is used, the time constant of RT/CT
must be set longer than the period of the sync signal. When the
external sync feature is not used, the customer should tie the
SYNC pin to SGND.
Optional External Enable Control Circuit
The module can be enabled by an external signal by using an
open-drain device, or by adding an external circuit. This optional

The evaluation board size is 76.2mmx76.2mm (3 inchx3 inch).
The FR4 board has four layers, with 2oz copper on the top and
the bottom layers, and 1oz copper on the two internal layers. The
board can be used as 4A reference design. Refer to the
“ISL8216MEVAL1Z Board Schematic” on page 4 and
“ISL8216MEVAL1Z Layouts” on page 5. All the components on
the board, including the solder attachment, are lead free.

FIGURE 2. OPTIONAL EXTERNAL ENABLE CIRCUIT
To utilize the circuit shown in Figure 2, the user can place
appropriate components on the place holders for R201, D201,
R202, Q201, and Q202.
A bias voltage of approximately 5.1V is generated from VIN with a
resistor (R201) in series and a zener diode (D201). R202 is a
pull-up resistor of typically 100kΩ, and Q201 and Q202 are
N-MOSFETs. The external control signal is applied to TP14
(EX_EN). When EX_EN is logic low, ENSS is pulled to ground to
disable the module. When EX_EN is logic high, ENSS is released
to allow the module’s soft-start function. The selection of R201 in
series with the zener diode D201 can be calculated as shown in
Equation 2:
V IN – V Z
R201 = ---------------------------IZ
(EQ. 2)
Where:
• VZ is the zener diode D201’s working voltage, nominal 5.1V.
• IZ is the zener diode D201’s working reverse current, typically
about 5mA.
The power dissipation rating should be taken into consideration
when selecting R201.

Depending on the applications conditions, other external circuits
may be required. Table 1 shows these requirements.

Optional PGOOD Delay Circuit
The ISL8216M has a PGOOD comparator which monitors the
voltage on the FB pin. The PGOOD is asserted (open drain) when
the FB pin voltage is within 14% of the reference voltage. The
PGOOD is de-asserted under disable, overcurrent protection
event, or over-temperature event.
As described in Table 1, a PGOOD delay circuit, as well as a
dummy load resistor of 1kΩ, 1W rating, are required if all of the
following conditions are met:
• VOUT is higher than 12V
• PGOOD signal is utilized
The place holders for this PGOOD delay circuit (C2, R3 and M1)
and the dummy load resistor (R20) are provided on the
ISL8216MEVAL1Z evaluation board for the user’s convenience,
as shown in Figure 3, where C2 is 1µF, R3 is typically 150kΩ, and
M1 is an N-MOSFET. In the case where input voltage VIN is not
monotonic, an optional Schottky diode is recommended in
parallel with resistor R3, to ensure that the capacitor C2 has
been fully discharged when PVCC starts to rise from 0V.

Output Capacitors
The 6x22µF ceramic capacitors with voltage rating of 35V have
been installed on the ISL8216MEVAL1Z evaluation board.
However, additional place holder to add more capacitors are
provided on the board for evaluating low ESR tantalum capacitor,
low ESR polymer capacitor, and low ESR aluminum electrolytic
capacitor. A minimum total output capacitance of 120µF with
low ESR is recommended.
PCOMPX Pin Configuration

on VOUT capacitors due to leakage from VIN, R23, internal
bootstrap diode, internal bootstrap capacitor, and inductor to
VOUT capacitor.
OPTIONAL
DIODE
Control loop is already compensated internally to provide
sufficient stability margins for applications with various types of
output capacitors. For all ceramic output capacitors, short the
PCOMPX pin to VOUT; a 0Ω resistor R1 is provided on the
evaluation board. For tantalum capacitors, polymer capacitors, or
aluminum electrolytic capacitors, change R1 to resistance of
lower than 1kΩ. The lower the total ESR, the lower the R1 value
should be.
Radiated Emission
The ISL8216M has been evaluated with respect to CISPR 22
radio disturbance limits class B. The radiated emission test was
performed with a simple input filter installed on the
ISL8216MEVAL1Z evaluation board, as shown in Figure 3.
Figure 15 and Figure 16 show the radiated emissions plots with
respect to the CISPR 22 radio disturbance limits class B at
typical operating conditions of 24VIN to 5VOUT at 4A and 24VIN to
12VOUT at 4A.
INPUT FILTER
FIGURE 3. OPTIONAL PGOOD DELAY CIRCUIT WITH DIODE
For VOUT>12V and light load condition, if the optional PGOOD
delay circuit is not used during VIN ramp up, PGOOD logic can
malfunction due to low VOUT as a result of bootstrap capacitor not
being fully charged. This issue can be solved by adding a delay of
about 250ms with this optional delay circuit.

PERFORMANCE
As described in Table 1, a resistor between VIN and BOOT is
recommended if ANY of the following conditions are met:
• VOUT is higher than 12V and PGOOD signal is not utilized.
• VOUT is higher than 12V, PGOOD signal is utilized, and module
is enabled/disabled by an external control signal.
The place holder for this resistor, R23, is provided on the
ISL8216MEVAL1Z evaluation board for the user’s convenience.
Refer to the ISL8216M datasheet for the selection of this
resistor. A minimum 0.25W power rating is recommended for
this resistor.
An additional N-MOSFET along with the external enable circuit is
required when R23 is populated. This N-MOSFET is used for
pulling VOUT to ground when the external control signal is logic
low. Without this N-MOSFET, a residual voltage can be generated
