The ISL9122AIIN-EVZ and ISL9122AIRN-EVZ 
platform allows quick evaluation of the high-
performance features of the 

ISL9122A

 buck-boost 

regulator. The ISL9122A is a highly integrated non-
inverting buck-boost switching regulator that accepts 
input voltages both above or below the regulated 
output voltage. It features an extremely low quiescent 
current consumption, excellent efficiency and an I

interface that allows you to access its internal 
registers, for output voltage and operation mode 
control.

Features

▪ Small, compact design
▪ I

, slew rate and 

various operation modes (Forced Bypass, 
Auto-PFM, Forced PWM)

▪ Connectors, test points, and jumpers for easy 

probing

Specifications

The boards are designed to operate at the following 
operating conditions:

▪ Input voltage rating from 1.8V to 5.5V
▪ Programmable output voltage range of 1.8V to 

5.375V and selectable transition slew rate through
