Overview

The ISL8018EVAL3Z evaluation board is intended for use by individuals with requirements for point-of-load applications sourcing from 2.7V to 5.5V. The ISL8018EVAL3Z is used to evaluate the performance of the ISL8018 low quiescent, high-efficiency synchronous buck regulator.

The ISL8018EVAL3Z board is a 76.2mm x 76.2mm, 4-layer FR4 board with 2oz copper in all layers. The complete converter occupies 438.71mm2 area.

Features

  • High-efficiency synchronous buck regulator with up to 97% efficiency
  • ±10% output voltage margining
  • Adjustable current limit
  • Start-up with pre-biased output
  • 1ms or adjustable internal soft-start
  • Soft-stop output discharge during disabled
  • Adjustable frequency from 500kHz to 4MHz and default at 1MHz
  • External synchronization up to 4MHz and master to slave phase shifting capability
