Complete High-Efficiency DC/DC Power Module Evaluation Board

The ISL8201MEVAL1Z evaluation board is used to evaluate the performance of the ISL8201M DC/DC power modules. This board consists of power and load connectors for source and load side, switches for PVCC bias selection and On/Off option, and other passive components. The input voltage range is from 1V to 20V, and the output voltage range is from 0.6V to 5V. Additional PVCC bias source is not required when using an input voltage of 5V or 12V. It can connect to the input side directly. However, in wider input ranges, which are above 14V or below 5V, the PVCC bias needs to add an external source, which provides operation bias of the module. The output voltage is initially set at 1.5V for typical evaluation. The user can easily set the output voltage by changing the value of R₁, as shown in the user guide.
