USER’S MANUAL ISL95338EVAL1Z UG128 Evalulation Board Rev.0.00 Aug 17, 2017 Overview ISL95338 is a bidirectional buck-boost voltage regulator, which provides bidirectional buck-boost voltage regulation and protection features. Intersil’s advanced R3™ Technology is used to provide high light-load efficiency, fast transient response, and seamless DCM/CCM transitions. The ISL95338 takes input power from a wide range of DC power sources (conventional AC/DC ADPs, USB PD ports, travel ADPs, etc.) and safely converts it to a regulated voltage up to 24V.
ISL95338EVAL1Z 2. Functional Description Functional Description The ISL95338EVAL1Z provides all circuits required to evaluate the features of the ISL95338. A majority of the features, such as adjustable output voltage in Forward mode and Reverse mode, programmable REF, fast VDAC changing at no load condition, at Buck, Boost and Buck-Boost modes, are available on this evaluation board. Figure 2.

ISL95338EVAL1Z 2. Functional Description 2.1.1 Enabling Forward Mode in Buck Mode (1) Set the 20V supply to 12V and, with SW1 in the low position, connect the (+) source to the ADP positive terminal and the (-) source to the ADP negative terminal. (2) Ensure that jumpers JP4, JP6, and JP7 are shorted.

ISL95338EVAL1Z 3. PCB Layout Guidelines Layout Guidelines Pin # Pin Name Layout Guidelines BOTTOM Connect this ground pad to the ground plane through low impedance path. We recommend using at least PAD 33 five vias to connect to ground planes in the PCB to ensure there is sufficient thermal dissipation directly under the IC.
