ISL8501EVAL1Z 1A Buck Regulator with Integrated MOSFETs ® Application Note The ISL8501 is a high-performance, triple output controller that provides a single, high frequency power solution for a variety of point of load applications. The ISL8501 integrates a 1A standard buck PWM controller and switching MOSFET with two 500mA LDOs. The PWM controller in the ISL8501 drives an internal switching N-Channel power MOSFET and requires an external Schottky diode to generate an output voltage from 0.6V to 20V. The integrated power switch is optimized for excellent thermal performance up to 1A of output current. The standard buck input voltage range supports a fixed 5V or variable 6V to 25V range. The PWM regulator switches at a fixed frequency of 500kHz and utilizes simple voltage mode control with input voltage feed forward to provide flexibility in component selection and minimize solution size. Protection features include overcurrent, undervoltage, and thermal overload protection integrated into the IC. The ISL8501 power good signal output indicates loss of regulation on the PWM output. The ISL8501 features two adjustable LDO regulators using internal PMOS transistors as pass devices. Separate enable pins (EN_LDO1, EN_LDO2) control each LDO output. A single power good signal output indicates loss of regulation on either of the two LDO outputs. Independent overcurrent and thermal fault shutdown monitors are integrated into the LDO section.

Application Note 1326 What’s Inside Evaluating the Other Output Voltage The Evaluation Board Kit contains the following materials: The ISL8501EVAL kit outputs are preset to 3.3V, 1.2V, 1.8V; however, all of them can be programmed using resistor dividers using Equation 1: • The ISL8501 EVAL REV D board R 1 ⋅ 0.6V R 2 = ---------------------------------V OUT – 0.6V • The ISL8501 datasheet • This EVAL KIT document Recommended Equipment The following materials are recommended to perform testing: (EQ. 1) The output voltage programming resistor R2 will depend on on the feedback resistor R1, as referred to in Figure 1. The value of R1 is typically between 1kΩ and 10kΩ. If the output voltage desired is 0.6V, then R2 is left opened. • 0V to 25V power supply with at least 5A source current capability, battery, notebook AC adapter VOUT R1 • Three electronic loads capable of sinking current up to 5A + - • Digital Multimeters (DMMs) EA • 100MHz quad-trace oscilloscope • Signal generator R2 0.6V REFERENCE Quick Setup Guide 1. Ensure that the circuit is correctly connected to the supply and loads prior to applying any power. FIGURE 1. EXTERNAL RESISTOR DIVIDER 2. Connect the bias supply to VIN, the plus terminal to TP1 (VCC) and the negative return to TP6 (GND). TABLE 1. SWITCH 1 SETTINGS 3. Verify that SW1 is on ENABLE. SW1 ENABLE OPERATING MODE 1 SW1 Enable or disable the buck controller 2 SW2 Enable or disable LDO1 3 SW3 Enable or disable LDO2 4. Turn on the power supply. 5. Verify the PG_PWM LED is on and that the output voltage is 3.3V for VOUT1 (TP3). 6. Turn on SW2 and SW3 to ENABLE. If VLDO1 is connected to a separate power supply, remove R25 from the bottom first, then turn on SW2 and SW3. 7. Verify the PG_LDO LED is on and LDO output voltages are 1.2V for VOUT2 (TP7) and 1.8V for VOUT3 (TP8). 2 AN1326.0 July 10, 2007 Schematic VCC R29 R4 0 20K 10K 1 0.01UF C2 R3 10PF 2 PG_PWM GND 2.55K TP10 R8 R27 OPEN TP3 1 1 1 SP1 2 3 4 5 0.1UF C21 C9 BOOT VOUT1 1 10UH 10UF 13 PHASE 100UF 14 PVCC 4 100UH L2 2 C13 1 BOOT ISL8501 2 2 C12 1 15 0 OPEN L1 1 PHASE 16 TP11 17 C14 R26 1 10UF D2 1 18 VIN PHASE C8 EP 2 OPEN R25 2 FB_LDO2 3 D1 VOUT2 6 C20 10UF 2 4.7UF C11 2 C10 1 U1 VIN_LDO2 5 25 1 R9 Q1 TP14 EN_PWM 2 1 TP4 COMBINE INDUCTOR FOOTPRINTS R5 10 VIN R30 OPEN POPULATE R30 IF VIN <6V ONLY VCC 1 TP12 1UF 1 VCC 3 1 2 TP15 R16 C18 Q2 100K 1 10K 2 2 1000PF 1SW2 2N7002 R13 C7 3 EN_LDO1 3 EN_LDO1 EN_LDO2 PG_LDO 1 C17 10K 1000PF 1 R14 2N7002 R11 100K 3 1 +1.8V L1 VIN 1 TP6 TP2 OPEN 1UF VIN_LDO1 1 5.11K TP9 22UF VOUT3 2 C16 1 R12 100K TP13 FB_LDO2 VCC 1SW1 3 4 R10 2 FB_LDO1 VOUT1 GND GND Application Note 1326 VCC 2 1 2 FB_LDO1 1 VLDO 0 23 0.1UF 22 FB 21 COMP 202 C4 SS 1 190.033UF CC1 C5 24 1 GND TP7 VLDO 1 TP5 100UH R28 9 10 11 12 VOUT2 TP17 TP1 1 CC1 PG_PWM FB_PWM COMP SS EN 2 PG_LDO 1 VLDO VIN EN_PWM CC2 PG_LDO EN_LDO1 EN_LDO2 GND VCC 0 R6 +1.2V 5.11K R18 1 22UF 2N7002 2 C15 1 3 2 TP8 1 C6 CC27 0 R7 GND 0.1UF 8 PG_PWM R17 1 Q4 5.11K 2N7002 3 1 1 1 TP16 3 1 3 D4 1 Q5 C3 1000PF D3 1 10K 2 R24 301 2 R21 C1 2 10K R20 2.43K R2 R1 2 R23 2.43K 2.21K 2N7002 R15 1 EN_LDO2 Q3 2 10K C19 2 1000PF 3 1SW3 ROHS COMPLIANT 8 7 6 5 4 3 TITLE: REV: ISL8501EVAL1 REV C ENGINEER: ROS DRAWN BY: ROS DATE: MAY 2 SHEET: 1 O 2 A 1 AN1326.0 July 10, 2007 Application Note 1326 TABLE 2.
