Description
Key Board Features
The ISL91107IR is a high-current buck-boost switching regulator
for systems using new battery chemistries. It uses Intersil’s
proprietary buck-boost algorithm to maintain voltage regulation,
while providing excellent efficiency and very low output voltage
ripple when the input voltage is close to the output voltage. The
ISL91107IRN-EVZ and ISL91107IRA-EVZ platforms allow quick
evaluation of the high performance features of the ISL91107IR
buck-boost regulator.
• Small, compact design
• Jumper selectable EN (enabled/disabled)
• Jumper selectable MODE (auto-PFM/forced-PWM)
• Connectors, test points, and jumpers for easy probing

Functional Description
The ISL91107IRN-EVZ and ISL91107IRA-EVZ provide simple
platforms to demonstrate the features of the ISL91107IR
buck-boost regulator. The ISL91107IRN-EVZ is for the fixed 3.3V
output IC ISL91107IRTNZ. The ISL91107IRA-EVZ is for the
adjustable output IC ISL91107IRTAZ. The evaluation boards have
been functionally optimized for best performance of the
ISL91107IR IC series. The input power and load connections are
provided through multi-pin connectors for high current
operations.
load can be connected to the VOUT and GND headers on J2.
Measure the input and output currents. Calculate efficiency
based on these measurements.

Quick Start Guide
For the ISL91107IRA-EVZ board, the default output voltage is set
at 3.3V. If other output voltages are desired, resistor R2 can be
set to a desired voltage as shown in Table 1 (use a resistor with
1% accuracy).

Refer to the “Quick Setup Guide” to configure and power up the
board for proper operation. During the power-on process, the
expected waveforms are shown in Figures 2 and 3.
Quick Setup Guide
EN (2V/DIV)
1. Install a jumper on J3, shorting EN to VIN.
2. Install a jumper on J4, shorting MODE to VIN.
3. Connect the power supply to J1, with a voltage setting
between 1.8V and 5.5V.
VOUT (1V/DIV)
4. Connect the electronic load to J2.
5. Place scope probes on the VOUT test point and other test
points of interest.
INDUCTOR CURRENT

6. Turn on the power supply.
7. Monitor the output voltage start-up sequence on the scope. The
waveforms will look similar to that shown in Figures 2 and 3.

8. Turn on the electronic load.
9. Measure the output voltage with the voltmeter. The voltage
should regulate within datasheet specific limits.
10. To determine efficiency, measure the input and output
voltages at J1 and J2 headers. The bench power supply can be
connected to the PVIN and GND headers on J1. The electronic
