ISL8033DEMO1Z Evaluation Board User Guide
Dual 3A Low Quiescent Current, High Efficiency, Synchronous
Buck Regulator
Description
The ISL8033DEMO1Z kit is intended for use by individuals with
requirements for Point-of-Load applications sourcing from
2.85V to 6V. The ISL8033DEMO1Z demonstration board is
used to demonstrate the performance of the
quiescent current mode converter.
The ISL8033 is offered in a 4mmx4mm 24 Ld QFN package
with 1mm maximum height. The complete converter occupies
2
less than 147.742mm .

Application Note 1611

Recommended Equipment
The following materials are recommended to perform testing:
• 0V to 10V power supply with at least 3A source current
capability or 5V battery
• Electronic loads capable of sinking current up to 3A
• Digital Multimeters (DMMs)
• 100MHz quad-trace oscilloscope
• Signal generator

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, the plus terminal to VIN and
the negative return to P1.
3. Turn on the power supply.
4. Verify the output voltage is 1.8V for V
