ISL8216MEVAL1Z Evaluation Board User’s Guide
Description
The ISL8216M is a simple and easy to use, high voltage DC/DC
module. The ISL8216M is ideal for servers, 48V
telecom/datacom applications, 12V/42V automotive and
industrial equipment, and other distributed power
converters/point-of-load (POL) applications. Only few passive
components and a V
OUT
setting resistor are needed for a
complete a high voltage power design.
The ISL8216MEVAL1Z provides an evaluation platform for the
ISL8216M. The input voltage range is from 10V to 80V, and the
output voltage is preset to five options, 5V, 12V, 20V, 24V and
30V. Any other output voltages within the range from 2.5V to
30V can be set with a single resistor.
Recommended Equipment
• 10V to 80V (or other voltage rating depending on desired
input voltage for the ISL8216M) power supply with at least
2A source current capability
• Electronic load capable of sinking current up to 4A
• Digital multimeters (DMMs)
• 100MHz quad-trace oscilloscope
Quick Start
1. Select the output voltage by using one of the five jumpers
JP1 to JP5, for 5V, 12V, 20V, 24V or 30V.
2. Connect the VIN (J1) and PGND (J2) terminals to a power
supply and connect the load to the VOUT (J4) and PGND (J3)
terminals.
3. Set the input power supply to desired input voltage between
10V to 80V; note that the input voltage must be higher than
the selected output voltage.
4. Enable the power supply first before turning on the load,
preset the load to 0A.
5. Toggle switch SW1 to the lower position denoted “ENABLE”.
The PGOOD INDICATOR LED should glow in green to indicate
proper operation. Use the digital multimeter to check the
output voltage.
