The ISL81401AEVAL1Z evaluation board features the ISL81401A, a 40V high voltage synchronous buck-boost controller that offers external soft-start, independent enable functions, and integrates UV/OV/OC/OT protections. A programmable switching frequency ranging from 100kHz to 600kHz helps to optimize the inductor size while the strong gate driver delivers up to 20A for the buck-boost output.
