Overview

Description

The ISL9520EVAL1Z evaluation board is used to evaluate the ISL9520 highly integrated narrow VDC regulator/battery charger controller for Li-ion/Li-ion polymer batteries. It has an SMBus interface and provides gate drive to external switching N-channel FETs that control system voltage, charge current limit and input current limit. The ISL9520EVAL1Z evaluation board includes a USB to SMBus interface to allow users to control the ISL9520 from a personal computer.

Features
