The ISL78263EVAL1Z evaluation board is used to evaluate the dual-converter, synchronous buck-and-boost operation of the ISL78263 controller. The board evaluates Channel 1, a synchronous buck operation that provides a system rail voltage, and Channel 2, a boost converter that is activated to support automotive cold crank applications. In addition, the ISL78263EVAL1Z enables evaluation of ISL78263 features such as overcurrent protection, overvoltage and under-voltage protection, and power-good indicators for each channel.
