ISL8011EVAL1Z: 1.2A Integrated FETs, High
Efficiency Synchronous Buck Regulator
Application Note
June 7, 2007
AN1329.0
ISL8011 is an integrated FET, 1.2A synchronous buck
regulator for general purpose point-of load applications
.
It is
optimized for generating low output voltages down to 0.8V.
The supply voltage range of 2.7V to 5.5V allows the use of
common 3.3V or 5V supply rails and Lithium ion battery
inputs. It has a guaranteed minimum output current of 1.2A
and a 1.5MHz pulse-width modulation (PWM) switching
frequency which allows the use of small external
components.
The ISL8011 includes a pair of low ON-resistance P-Channel
and N-Channel internal MOSFETs to maximize efficiency
and minimize external component count. 100% duty-cycle
operation allows less than 200mV dropout voltage at 1.2A.
The ISL8011 offers a 200ms Power-On-Reset (POR) timer
at power-up. When shut down, the ISL8011 discharges the
output capacitor. Other features include internal digital
soft-start, enable for power sequence, overcurrent
protection, and thermal shut-down.
The ISL8011 is offered in a 10 Ld 3x3mm DFN package with
1mm maximum height. The complete converter occupies
less than 1cm
2
area.

NOTE: Intersil Pb-free plus anneal products employ special Pb-free
material sets; molding compounds/die attach materials and 100%
matte tin plate termination finish, which are RoHS compliant and
compatible with both SnPb and Pb-free soldering operations. Intersil
Pb-free products are MSL classified at Pb-free peak reflow
temperatures that meet or exceed the Pb-free requirements of
IPC/JEDEC J STD-020.

What’s inside
The Evaluation Board Kit contains the following materials:
• The ISL8011EVAL1Z Rev A board
• The ISL8011 datasheet
• This EVAL KIT document
Evaluating the Other Output Voltage
The ISL8011EVAL1Z kit output is preset to 1.6V; however,
output voltages can be adjusted from 0.8V to 3.6V by the
following equations:

Quick Setup Guide
1. Ensure that the circuit is correctly connected to the supply
and loads prior to applying any power.
2. Connect the bias supply to VIN. Plus terminal to (VIN)
and negative return to (GND).
3. Verify that position is ON for JP1 jumper.
4. Turn on the power supply. V
IN
= 2.7V to 5.5V.
5. Verify the output voltage is 1.6V for V
