ISL85001EVAL1Z: 1A
Regulator Standard Buck PWM
Description
The ISL85001EV AL1Z R EV A kit is intended fo r use by
individuals with requirements for Point-of-Load applications
sourcing fr om 4 .5V t o 2 5V. The ISL85001EVAL1Z evaluation
board is used to demonstrate the performance of the
ISL85001 standard buck regulator.
The ISL85001 is offered in a 4mmx3mm 12 Ld DFN package
with 1mm maximum height. The complete converter
occupies less than 0.425in
2
area.

AN1443.0Application Note
Recommended Equipment
The Following Materials are Recommended to Perform
Testing:
• 0V to 25V Power Supply with at Least 5A Source Current
Capability, Battery, Notebook AC Adapter
• One Electronic Load Capable of Sinking Current up to 5A
• Digital Multimeters (DMMs)
• 100MHz Quad-Trace Oscilloscope
• Signal Generator
Quick Setup Guide
1. Ensure that the circuit is correctly connected to the supply
and loads prior to applying any power.
2. Connect the bias supply to VIN, the plus terminal to TP1
(VIN) and the negative return to TP2 (GND).
3. Verify that SW1 is on ENABLE.
4. Turn on the power supply.
5. Verify the PG is on and the output voltage is 2.5V for
VOUT(TP3).
Evaluating the Other Output Voltage
The ISL85001EVAL kit outputs are preset to 2.5V; however,
it can be programmed using resistor dividers using
Equation 1:
