ISL62383LOEVAL1Z

The ISL62383LOEVAL1Z evaluation board is a DC/DC & AC/DC (Off-Line) SMPS product manufactured by Intersil Corporation designed to help engineers evaluate the performance of its ISL62383P ISL62383P low-power SMPS controller. It allows users to try out the device before integrating it into their product or design, making it an invaluable tool for evaluation and testing.

The board includes two evaluation channels, one of them featuring a discrete implementation of a fully featured and compliant the 12 V general purpose DC-to-DC SMPS design. The second evaluation channel features a self-contained and ISP-controlled off-line AC-to-DC SMPS design with an integrated bypass MOSFET and transformer. This evaluation board is designed to support a wide range of applications including, but not limited to, portable power supplies, TV, monitor and desktop PC power supplies.

To ensure optimal performance of the application, the ISL62383P on this board has been pre-programmed for best-in-class performance when compared to existing implementations for a range of frequencies and voltages. It also includes an SMBus Interface for advanced users and optional external components, such as a soft-start capacitor/resistor combination, for further flexibility. Additionally there is a bias winding featured on the evaluation board, allowing users to evaluate various hybrid architectures.

With the ISL62383P controller at the heart of the SMPS device, the evaluation board supports a range of switching frequency settings with response time up to 1ms to changes in load/line. This range of frequencies allows for the device to be used in many different unintended environments without compromising on quality or performance. In addition to this the device has a smart short-circuit response feature featuring user selectable current limitation, ensuring that the circuit or system does not experience problems should a short circuit occur.

Other notable features of the ISL62383LOEVAL1Z evaluation board include operating efficiency beyond 80%, low component count, and a rugged MSOP-10 package for added reliability. This versatile device works well in a variety of industrial, mining, automotive, and medical applications.

The ISL62383LOEVAL1Z evaluation board is an invaluable tool for those looking to test the performance of the 12 V general purpose DC-to-DC SMPS and self-contained and ISP-controlled off-line AC-to-DC SMPS. With its wide range of supported frequencies and voltage settings, its advanced features, and its rugged MSOP-10 packaging, it is well suited to a wide range of industrial, mining, automotive, and medical applications.
