ISL68137-61P-EV1Z Evaluation Board Quick Start User 

Guide

Description 

The ISL68137-61P-EV1Z evaluation board provides users a 
method of evaluating the 

ISL68137

 digital multiphase device. 

Included on the board is a high-performance transient load 
generator capable of replicating the type of high di/dt loads 
typical of today’s high current ASICs. 

The ISL68137 is combined with the ISL99227 Smart Power 
Stage (SPS) to provide a highly efficient power solution 
capable of delivering up to 270A.

While the user may opt to evaluate the solution based on the 
Intersil default configuration, custom configurations are easily 
created using 

PowerNavigator™

.

Specifications

This board has been configured and optimized for the following 
operating conditions:

• 0.6V to 1.8V output range. Up to 3.05V with BOM change
