The ISL62381 and ISL62382 evaluation boards demonstrate
the performance of ISL62381 and ISL62382 Quad-output
controllers. The ISL62381 and ISL62382 controller include
two pulse-width modulation (PWM) controllers featured with
Intersil’s patented R
3
technology, adjustable from 0.6V to
5.5V, and two linear regulators, LDO5 and LDO3, that
generate a fixed 5V and an adjustable output respectively.
The evaluation board includes two independent Enable
switches, two LED Power-Good indicators and various test
points. Included with each switching channel is an on-board
dynamic load generator for evaluating the transient-load
response. There are four different evaluation boards which
provide flexible evaluation options. Table 1 shows a brief
description of the evaluation boards.
The Evaluation Board Kit contains the following materials:
• ISL6238xxxEVAL1Z Evaluation Board
• ISL62381 and ISL62382 Datasheet
• ISL62381 And ISL62382 Evaluation Board User Guide
(this document)
What’s Needed
The following materials will be needed to perform testing:
• Adjustable +25V, 30A Power Supply
• +12V, 100mA Power Supply
• Precision digital multi-meter
• 4 Electronic Loads
• 4-Channel Oscilloscope
Enable Control
The evaluation board provides flexible control logic to enable
or disable the outputs, and to program the two PWM
channels’ start-up sequence. For start-up timing sequence,
please refer to the datasheet waveforms. Table 2 is the
Enable controller truth table.

Resistor Current Sense Configuration
The evaluation board is pre-configured with inductor DCR
current sense. For more precise overcurrent protection, it
also provides the option of resistor current sense. Figure 1
shows the configuration for resistor current sense.

Dynamic Load Generator
The evaluation board provides each PWM channel an
on-board dynamic load generator for evaluating the
transient-load response, which are controlled by SW1 and
SW2 respectively. The dynamic load generator applies a
