ISL6445 Evaluation Board User Guide
Hardware Description
VIN
The ISL6445EVAL3Z evaluation board is designed to
demonstrate the performance of the ISL6445.
LOAD
LOAD
The ISL6445 is a high-performance, dual-output PWM
controller optimized for converting wall adapter, battery
or network intermediate bus DC input supplies into the
system supply voltages required for a wide variety of
applications. Each output is adjustable down to 0.8V. The
two PWMs are synchronized 180° out-of-phase reducing
the RMS input current and ripple voltage.
5.6V TO 24V
ISL6445 Reference Design
The ISL6445 evaluation board illustrates the operation of
the IC. The design criteria is listed in Table 1.

Power and Load Connections
If using an input supply ranging from 5.6V to 24V,
connect the supply to VIN (P1) and GND (P2) posts as
shown in Figure 1. ISL6445 has an internal +5V linear
regulator which can be used to bias the IC.
When using a 5V ±10% input supply, connect the
negative polarity to GND (P2) post and connect the
positive polarity of the power supply to both VIN (P1)
post and the VCC5 (TP1) post. This will disable the
internal LDO and the chip will be powered by the input
power supply (see Figure 2).
CAUTION: Ensure that the +5V terminal is not
connected to when applying voltages >7V. This
can damage the IC.
