Introduction
The ISL6228EVAL3Z evaluation board demonstrates the
performance of the ISL6228 dual-channel PWM controller.
The ISL6228 features Intersil's Robust Ripple Regulator (R
technology. Channel-1 output voltage is 1.5V or 1.8V,
pending the state of switch S5. Channel-2 output voltage is
1.8V. Each channel has an on-board dynamic-load
generator included for evaluating the transient-load
response. It applies a 300µs pulse of 4.5A load across V
and GND, and it applies a 300µs pulse of 5A load across
V
and GND.
