ISL8540EVAL1Z: 2A High Voltage Buck Regulator
with Integrated MOSFETs
®
Application Note
The ISL8540 is a step down DC/DC power switching
regulator which accepts a 9V to 40V input, and provides up
to 2A of output current. The output voltage can be set
between 1.21V and 35V by means of an external resistor
divider. The device uses an internal power DMOS transistor
with a typical rDS(ON) of 0.19Ω to obtain very high efficiency
and high switching speed. A switching frequency in the
range of 100kHz to 600kHz can be realized (the maximum
power dissipation of the various packages must be
observed). Notable features of this next generation DC/DC
converter include pulse-by-pulse current limit for FET
protection, hiccup-mode short circuit protection, voltage
feedforward, frequency SYNC, soft-start, low standby
current of 60µA typical in the disabled state and thermal
shut-down. The device is available in a 20 Ld HTSSOP
package.

What’s Inside
Evaluating the Other Output Voltage
The Evaluation Board Kit contains the following materials:
The ISL8540EVAL1Z kit output is preset to 5V. The output
voltage can be adjusted from 1.21V to 35V by Equation 1:
• The ISL8540EVAL1Z REVB board.
R 1 = ( R 2 ) ⁄ ( ( V OUT ⁄ V FB1 ) – 1 )
• The ISL8540 datasheet.
• ISL8540 Evaluation Board Application Note.
Recommended Equipment
The following equipment is recommended to evaluate the
performance of the board:
• 0V to 60V power supply with at least 5A current sourcing
capability.
• Electronic Loads capable of sinking current up to 5A.
• Digital Multimeters (DMMs.)
• 100MHz quad-trace Oscilloscope.
• Signal generator (to test the SYNC feature only).
Quick Setup Guide
1. Ensure that the circuit is correctly connected to the supply
and loads prior to applying any power.
2. Connect the bias supply to VIN, with the positive terminal
connected to P1(VIN), and the return to P2(GND).
3. Connect the load across the output terminals, between
pins P3 (positive) and P4 (return).
4. Verify that the jumper JP1 is connected.
5. Apply a voltage between 9V and 40V across the input.
with R2 = 51.1kΩ and VFB1 = 1.21V.
Note: The inductor, output capacitors and the compensation
network may need to be tweaked, along with the
corresponding compensation network, for optimal
performance with change in output voltage and/or load. Also,
additional heatsinking or airflow may required to insure that
the junction temperature does not exceed +125°C.
Frequency
The ISL8540EVAL1Z kit is preset at 500kHz. The
ISL8540EVAL1Z can be adjusted to operate at switching
frequencies from 100kHz to 600kHz. Use C16 to program
the switching frequency using Equation 2:
6.25
1000
C 16 [ nF ] = -------------------- ⎛ ------------------------------ – 0.3⎞
⎠
R 7 [ kΩ ] ⎝ f OSC [ kHz ]
(EQ. 2)
Synchronization
The ISL8540EVAL1Z circuit may be synchronized to a TTL
signal that is set at a higher switching frequency than the
pre-set frequency. The range of the external synchronizing
frequency is from 100kHz to 600kHz. It is recommended to
use and RTCT capacitor (C16) of 2700pF in this
configuration.
6. Verify that the output voltage is 5V.
