ISL8026xEVAL3Z Evaluation Board User Guide

Description

The ISL8026EVAL3Z and ISL8026AEVAL3Z are intended for use 
by customers with requirements for point-of-load applications 
sourcing from 2.5V to 5.5V. The ISL8026EVAL3Z and 
ISL8026AEVAL3Z are used to demonstrate the performance of 
the 

ISL8026

 and 

ISL8026A

, low quiescent high efficiency 

synchronous buck regulator. 

The ISL8026 and ISL8026A are offered in a 3mmx3mm 
16 Ld TQFN package with 1mm maximum height. The 
complete area that the converter occupies can be as small as 
0.22in

2

.

Key Features

• High efficiency synchronous buck regulator with up to 95% 

efficiency 

• 1% reference accuracy over load/line/temperature

(-40°C to +85°C)

• Start-up with prebiased output
• Internal soft-start - 1ms or adjustable
• Soft-stop output discharge during disabled
• Adjustable frequency from 500kHz to 4MHz - default at 1MHz 

(2MHz for ISL8026A)

• External synchronization up to 4MHz 
• Negative OC protection
