Key Features
The ISL8117DEMO2Z demonstration board (shown in Figure 1)
features the ISL8117. The ISL8117 is a 60V high voltage
synchronous buck controller that offers external soft-start,
independent enable functions and integrates UV/OV/OC/OT
protection. Its current mode control architecture and internal
compensation network keep peripheral component count
minimal. Programmable switching frequency ranging from
100kHz to 2MHz helps to optimize inductor size while the
strong gate driver delivers up to 30A for the buck output.
• Small, compact design
Specifications
• PGOOD indicator
The ISL8117DEMO2Z demonstration board is designed for
high current applications. The current rating of the
ISL8117DEMO2Z is limited by the FETs and inductor selected.
The ISL8117 gate driver is capable of delivering up to 20A for
the buck output as long as the proper FETs and inductor are
provided. The electrical ratings of ISL8117DEMO2Z are shown

Evaluating the Other Output
Voltages
The ISL8117DEMO2Z kit output is preset to 12V, however, the
output can be adjusted from 5V to 24V. The output voltage
programming resistor, R2 , will depend on the desired output
voltage of the regulator and the value of the feedback resistor
R1, as shown in Equation 1.

Functional Description
The ISL8117DEMO2Z is a compact design with high efficiency
and high power density.
As shown in Figure 4 on page 3, 18V to 60V VIN is supplied to J1
(+) and J2 (-). The regulated 12V output on J3 (+) and J4 (-) can
supply up to 20A to the load. Due to high thermal efficiency, the
demonstration board can run at 20A continuously without air
flow in room temperature ambient condition.
As shown in Table 2, connector J5 provides selection of either
CCM mode (shorting pin 1 and pin 2) or DEM mode (shorting
pin 2 and pin 3). Connector J6 provides an option to disable the
converter by shorting its pin 1 and pin 2.
Operating Range
The input voltage range is from 18V to 60V for an output voltage
of 12V. If the output voltage is set to a lower value, the minimum
VIN can be reset to a lower value by changing the ratio of R4 and
R5. The minimum EN threshold that VIN can be set to is 4.5V.

Layout Guidelines
Careful attention to layout requirements is necessary for
successful implementation of an ISL8117 based DC/DC
converter. The ISL8117 switches at a very high frequency and
therefore the switching times are very short. At these switching
frequencies, even the shortest trace has significant impedance.
Also, the peak gate drive current rises significantly in an
extremely short time. Transition speed of the current from one
device to another causes voltage spikes across the
interconnecting impedances and parasitic circuit elements.
These voltage spikes can degrade efficiency, generate EMI and
increase device overvoltage stress and ringing. Careful
component selection and proper PC board layout minimizes the
magnitude of these voltage spikes.
There are three sets of critical components in a DC/DC converter
using the ISL8117: the controller, the switching power
components and the small signal components. The switching
power components are the most critical from a layout point of
view because they switch a large amount of energy which tends
to generate a large amount of noise. The critical small signal
components are those connected to sensitive nodes or those
supplying critical bias currents. A multilayer printed circuit board
is recommended.

ISL8117DEMO2Z
Layout Considerations
1. The input capacitors, upper FET, lower FET, inductor and
output capacitor should be placed first. Isolate these power
components on dedicated areas of the board with their
ground terminals adjacent to one another. Place the input
high frequency decoupling ceramic capacitors very close to
the MOSFETs.
2. If signal components and the IC are placed in a separate area
to the power train, it is recommend to use full ground planes
in the internal layers with shared SGND and PGND to simplify
the layout design. Otherwise, use separate ground planes for
power ground and small signal ground. Connect the SGND
and PGND together close to the IC. DO NOT connect them
together anywhere else.
3. The loop formed by the input capacitor, the top FET and the
bottom FET must be kept as small as possible.
4. Ensure the current paths from the input capacitor to the
MOSFET, to the output inductor and the output capacitor are
as short as possible with maximum allowable trace widths.
5. Place the PWM controller IC close to the lower FET. The LGATE
connection should be short and wide. The IC can be best
placed over a quiet ground area. Avoid switching ground loop
currents in this area.
6. Place VCC5V bypass capacitor very close to the VCC5V pin of
the IC and connect its ground to the PGND plane.
7. Place the gate drive components - optional BOOT diode and
BOOT capacitors - together near the controller IC.
8. The output capacitors should be placed as close to the load as
possible. Use short wide copper regions to connect output
capacitors to load to avoid inductance and resistances.
9. Use copper filled polygons or wide but short trace to connect
the junction of upper FET, lower FET and output inductor. Also
keep the PHASE node connection to the IC short. DO NOT
unnecessarily oversize the copper islands for the PHASE
node. Since the phase nodes are subjected to very high dv/dt
voltages, the stray capacitor formed between these islands
and the surrounding circuitry will tend to couple switching
noise.
10. Route all high speed switching nodes away from the control
circuitry.
11. Create a separate small analog ground plane near the IC.
Connect the SGND pin to this plane. All small signal grounding
paths including feedback resistors, current limit setting
resistor, soft starting capacitor and EN pull-down resistor
should be connected to this SGND plane.
12. Separate the current sensing trace from the PHASE node
connection.
13. Ensure the feedback connection to the output capacitor is
short and direct.
