Application Note 1793
ISL8225MEVAL4Z Evaluation Board User Guide
The ISL8225M is a complete, dual step-down switching mode
DC/DC module. The dual outputs can easily be paralleled for
single-output, high-current use. It is easy to apply this
high-power, current-sharing DC/DC power module to
power-hungry datacom, telecom and FPGA applications. All
that is needed in order to have a complete, dual 15A design
ready for use are the ISL8225M, a few passive components
and V
OUT
setting resistors.
The simplicity of the ISL8225M is its off-the-shelf, unassisted
implementation. Patented current sharing in multiphase
operation greatly reduces ripple currents, BOM costs and
complexity. The ISL8225M has a thermally enhanced, compact
17mmx17mmx7.5mm QFN package that operates at full load
and over-temperature without requiring forced-air cooling. Easy
access to all pins, with few external components, reduces PCB
design to a component layer and a simple ground layer.
This ISL8225MEVAL4Z evaluation board is designed for dual
15A output applications. Optionally, this board can easily be
converted for 30A single output use. Multiple
ISL8225MEVAL4Z boards can be cascadable through the
SYNC and CLKOUT pins to operate with phase shifting, for
paralleling or multiple output use. The input voltage of this
board is 4.5V to 20V and the default outputs on this board are
set at 1.2V and 1.5V.
