Product details
Overview
ISL6721EVAL1 from Renesas Electronics is a demonstration unit implementing a 48V-input dual-output flyback converter using the ISL6721 PWM controller, delivering 3.3V at 2.5A and 1.8V at 1.0A with cross-regulation. It features peak current mode control, adjustable 100kHz–1MHz switching frequency, bidirectional SYNC, and hiccup-mode overcurrent protection.
For engineers reviewing the ISL6721EVAL1 datasheet, ISL6721EVAL1 application, ISL6721EVAL1 setup, or ISL6721EVAL1 reference design, this evaluation board enables rapid validation of isolated DC/DC topologies including flyback and boost converters in telecom, industrial, and datacom power systems.
Technical Context
The ISL6721EVAL1 implements the ISL6721's flexible single-ended current mode PWM architecture with external RTCT timing network (11kΩ + 330pF), slope compensation via SLOPE pin, and dual-output regulation using weighted feedback summing. It validates the IC's 1A gate drive capability driving Q1 (MOSFET) under 36–75V input range.
This board demonstrates critical ISL6721 functions: soft-start clamping (SS pin), overcurrent shutdown with 295ms restart delay, UV/OV monitoring with user-defined thresholds, and thermal shutdown at 130°C - all verified per FN9110 Rev 9.00 test conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 36VDC to 75VDC - supports telecom and industrial 48V distribution rails with margin. |
| Output Configuration | Dual isolated outputs: 3.3V/2.5A and 1.8V/1.0A - validated flyback topology with cross-regulation via weighted FB summing. |
| Controller Core | ISL6721 PWM IC - peak current mode, 100kHz–1MHz programmable frequency, 1% VREF accuracy, 1A gate driver. |
| Protection Features | Hiccup-mode OC shutdown (295ms delay), UV/OV fault detection, thermal shutdown (130°C), leading-edge blanking (100ns). |
| Soft-Start Control | External SS capacitor - controls ramp rate of duty cycle and sets OC shutdown threshold (0.125V discharge delta). |
| Synchronization | Bidirectional SYNC pin - enables multi-unit phase-locking or external clock injection without removing RTCT capacitor. |

FAQ
What is the primary function of the ISL6721EVAL1 evaluation board?
The ISL6721EVAL1 evaluation board implements a fully assembled 48V-input dual-output flyback converter using the ISL6721 PWM controller. It delivers 3.3V at 2.5A and 1.8V at 1.0A with cross-regulation, enabling engineers to validate performance, protection behavior, and layout practices before custom design. The ISL6721EVAL1 is not a standalone IC but a functional demonstration unit.
Does the ISL6721EVAL1 support adjustable switching frequency, and how is it configured?
Yes, the ISL6721EVAL1 supports adjustable switching frequency from 100kHz to 1MHz via the ISL6721's RTCT pin. On this board, frequency is set by an 11kΩ resistor and 330pF capacitor per the ISL6721 datasheet (FN9110 Rev 9.00, Figure 7). Users can modify these components to tune frequency without redesigning the PCB.
How does overcurrent protection operate on the ISL6721EVAL1?
The ISL6721EVAL1 implements hiccup-mode overcurrent protection using the ISL6721's ISET pin and soft-start capacitor discharge mechanism. When overcurrent is detected, the SS capacitor discharges at ~40µA; if voltage drops below 4.375V, GATE disables and remains off for ~295ms before automatic soft-start recovery. This behavior is confirmed in FN9110 Rev 9.00, pages 12–13.
Can the ISL6721EVAL1 be synchronized with other PWM controllers?
Yes, the ISL6721EVAL1 supports bidirectional synchronization via the ISL6721's SYNC pin. Multiple ISL6721EVAL1 units-or mixed ISL6721-based designs-can be phase-locked by connecting SYNC pins together, or locked to an external master clock ≥65% of free-running frequency. The RTCT capacitor remains required even in SYNC mode.
What input voltage range and output regulation method does the ISL6721EVAL1 use?
The ISL6721EVAL1 accepts 36VDC to 75VDC input and regulates two isolated outputs (3.3V/2.5A and 1.8V/1.0A) using weighted-sum feedback applied to the ISL6721's FB pin. Cross-regulation is achieved without secondary-side controllers, as documented in Figure 2 of FN9110 Rev 9.00.
