Only bulk input and output capacitors are needed to finish the design. The 25A of continuous output current can be delivered without the need for airflow or a heatsink. The ISL8277M uses ChargeMode™ control architecture, which responds to a transient load within a single switching cycle.
2. Functional Description Functional Description The ISL8277MEVAL1Z provides all circuitry required to evaluate the features of the ISL8277M. A majority of the features of the ISL8277M, such as compensation-free ChargeMode control, soft-start delay and ramp times, supply sequencing, and voltage margining are available on this evaluation board. For sequencing evaluation, the board can be connected to any Intersil digital module evaluation board that supports the Digital-DC™...
Pin-Strap Option ISL8277MEVAL1Z can be configured in Pin-Strap mode with standard 1% 0603 resistors. The PMBus interface is not required to evaluate ISL8277M in Pin-Strap mode. Output voltage (V ), switching frequency ), input undervoltage protection (UVLO) threshold, and the device PMBus address can be changed by populating the recommended resistors at placeholders provided in the evaluation board.
However, if the output voltage is increased or the board is operated at elevated temperatures, then the available current is derated. Refer to the derated current curves in the ISL8277M datasheet to determine the maximum output current the evaluation board can supply.
