ISL8225MEVAL2Z
Evaluation Board
The ISL8225M is a complete, dual step-down switching mode DC/DC module. The dual outputs can easily be
paralleled for single-output, high-current use. It is easy to apply this high-power, current-sharing DC/DC power
module to power-hungry datacom, telecom, and FPGA applications. All that is needed to have a complete, dual
15A design ready for use are the ISL8225M, a few passive components, and VOUT setting resistors.
The ease of use virtually eliminates design and manufacturing risks while dramatically improving time to market. If
more output current is needed, parallel up to six ISL8225M modules to scale up to a 180A solution.
The ISL8225M has a thermally enhanced, compact QFN package that operates at full load and over-temperature
without requiring forced-air cooling. Easy access to all pins, with few external components, reduces PCB design
to a component layer and a simple ground layer.
The ISL8225MEVAL2Z evaluation board allows for a single 6-phase paralleled output, which delivers high current
up to 90A. The input voltage is 4.5V to 20V and the default output voltage is set at 1.2V. The current level is 90A
with no extra cooling required.

Functional Description
Recommended Equipment
• 0V to 20V power supply with at least 10A source current capability
• Electronic load capable of sinking current up to 90A (multiple electronic current loads can be used in parallel to
sink more current)
• Digital Multimeters (DMMs)
• 100MHz quad-trace oscilloscope
1.2
Quick Start
The inputs are J3 (VIN) and J4 (GND). The outputs are J1 and J5 (VOUT), J2 and J6 (GND), and J6 (VOUT2).
See Figure 1. This 90A evaluation board can be easily modified to 30A (one module) or 60A (two modules)
operation.
1. Connect a power supply capable of sourcing at least 10A to the input (VIN J3 and GND J4) of the
ISL8225MEVAL2Z, with a voltage between 4.5V to 20V. Connect an electronic load or the device to be
powered to the output (VOUT (J1, J5) and GND (J2, J6)) of the board. All connections, especially the low
voltage, high current VOUT lines, should be able to carry the desired load current and should be made as short
as possible. Duplicate tab connections on VOUT (J1, J5) and GND (J2, J6) to carry large current.
2. Ensure the jumpers for EN2 and EN3 are in the “ON” position and EN is open. Turn on the power supply. If the
board is working properly, the green LED illuminates; if not, the red LED illuminates (recheck the wire/jumper
connections in this case). Measure the output voltage, VOUT, which should be at 1.2V.
3. The ISL8225MEVAL2Z is manufactured with a VOUT default value of 1.2V; if different output voltages are
needed, board resistors can be exchanged to provide the desired VOUT. See Table 1 on page 4 for R2/R64
resistor values, which can be used to produce different output voltages.
For 12V VIN and VOUT more than 1.5V, the switching frequency needs to be adjusted, as shown in Table 1. The
resistor RFSET can be adjusted for the desired frequency. No frequency adjustments are necessary for VOUT
below 1.5V. For 5V VIN, the frequency does not need to be adjusted and the module default frequency can be
used at any allowed VOUT. If the output voltage is set to more than 1.8V, the output current needs to be derated to
allow for safe operation. See the derating curves in the ISL8225M datasheet.

Evaluation Board Information
The evaluation board size is 150mm x 130mm. It is a 6-layer board, containing 2 oz. copper on the top and bottom
layers and 1 oz. copper on all internal layers. The board can be used as a 90A reference design. See “Board
Layout” on page 10. The board is made of FR4 material and all components, including the solder attachment, are
Pb-free.
1.4.1
Current Sharing Check
The evaluation board allows you to measure the current sharing accuracy. Four 0Ω resistors (such as R59~R62
for M1 Channel 2 in Figure 2) are put serially on each output with two on each side of the evaluation board. To
measure the output current of each phase, remove all four resistors and put looped wires or sensing resistors on
correct positions.
Although the assembled resistors have zero resistance, there is still small resistance (< 50mΩ) on each resistor.
At large output current, the efficiency can be decreased by 1~3% due to the power loss on those 0Ω resistors.
The efficiency curves are shown in Figures 16 and 17 with 0Ω resistors, while Figures 18 and 19 show the
efficiency curves by replacing those resistors with short copper straps.
1.4.2
Thermal Considerations and Current Derating
For high current applications, board layout is very critical to make the module operate safely and deliver maximum
allowable power. To carry large currents, the board layout needs to be designed carefully to maximize thermal
performance. To achieve this, select enough trace width, copper weight, and the proper connectors.
This evaluation board is designed for running 90A at 1.2V at room temperature without additional cooling systems
needed. However, if the output voltage is increased or the board is operated at elevated temperatures, the
available current is derated. See the derated current curves in the ISL8225M datasheet to determine the output
current available.
For layout of designs using the ISL8225M, the thermal performance can be improved by adhering to the following
design tips:
1. Use the top and bottom layers to carry the large current. VOUT1, VOUT2, Phase 1, Phase 2, PGND, VIN1, and
VIN2 should have large, solid planes. Place enough thermal vias to connect the power planes in different
layers under and around the module.

1. Functional Description
2. Phase 1 and Phase 2 pads are switching nodes that generate switching noise. Keep these pads under the
module. For noise-sensitive applications, Renesas recommends keeping phase pads only on the top and inner
layers of the PCB; do not place phase pads exposed to the outside on the bottom layer of the PCB. To improve
the thermal performance, the phase pads can be extended in the inner layer, as shown in Phase 1 and 2 pads
on layer 3 (Figure 11) for this 90A evaluation board. Make sure that layer 2 and layer 4 have the GND layers
to cover the extended areas of phase pads at layer 3 to avoid noise coupling.
3. To avoid noise coupling, Renesas recommends adding 1nF capacitors on all COMP and ISHARE pins of each
module for multiple module operations.
4. Place the modules evenly on the board and leave enough space between modules. If the board space is
limited, try to put the modules with low power loss closely together (such as low VOUT or IOUT) while still
separating the module with high power loss.
5. If the ambient temperature is high or the board space is limited, airflow is needed to dissipate more heat from
the modules. A heat sink can also be applied to the top side of the module to further improve the thermal
performance (heat sink recommendation: Aavid Thermalloy, part number 375424B00034G, www.aavid.com).
1.4.3
Remote Sensing
The ISL8225MEVAL2Z board allows you to apply the remote sensing function to loads to achieve good output
regulation accuracy. To make use of this function, remove resistors R7 and R8 and connect the Kelvin sensing
lines through the jumper JP4 (RS) to the point of load.
1.4.4
Phase-Shift Programming
In current sharing mode, the phase-shift is needed to interleave the different phases to lower the input and output
ripples. As shown in Table 2, there are different sharing modes from 2-phase (180° phase-shift) and 4-phase (90°
phase-shift) to 6-phase (60° phase-shift). The master module sends the CLKOUT signal to the SYNC pin of the
second module with the phase-shift to its own clock signal. Then the second module synchronizes to the CLKOUT
signal of the master module and sends its CLKOUT signal to the third module’s SYNC pin. The individual 2
phases of each module are set as a 180° phase-shift by default. This evaluation board is set to mode 5B with 60°
phase-shift between phases.
If the MODE pin is not tied to VCC (5A or 5B), all VMON pins of different modules can be tied together, except the
VMON pin of the master phase. If mode 7A is needed to allow for 90° phase-shift, the MODE pin has to tie to
VCC. In this case, the VMON pin of the associated module needs to be separated by connecting a 953Ω resistor
and a 22nF capacitor to SGND, as shown in the ISL8225M datasheet.
