Description
The ISL9106EVAL1Z is an evaluation kit for the ISL9106
1.6MHz 1.2A low quiescent current, high efficiency
integrated step-down regulator. The ISL9106 is capable of
delivering up to 1.2A output current with an output voltage
range of 0.8V to ~V
voltage divider resistors of R
default output voltage is set to be 1.6V on the evaluation
board.
The complete ISL9106 regulator is located at the center of
the board. On the left side of the board are the connectors
for the input power source (VIN and GND). The output
connectors are located on the right side (VO and GND). The
other two test points are for the PG and RSI signals
respectively, as labelled on the board. The RSI input needs
either be driven to a low or a high logic input (Please refer to
the ISL9106 datasheet, FN6509 for more details regarding
RSI function). Do not leave the RSI input signal floating.
The open-drain PG signal is pulled up to the V
100kΩ resistor (R
or disable the IC. Jumper JP2 is the mode selection input.
Do not leave the EN or the MODE signal floating. The
evaluation board also offers one oscilloscope probe tip
connector connected to SW pin to minimize the switching
noise during the evaluation. One test point (labeled as FB) is
connected to the FB pin on the board in order to monitor the
FB voltage.
The evaluation board schematic, layout and bill-of-materials
(BOM) can be found at the end of this application note.
