Product details
Overview
ISL68200DEMO1Z from Renesas Electronics (formerly Intersil) is a 6-layer demonstration board evaluating the ISL68200 single-phase synchronous buck PWM controller with R4™ modulator technology. It delivers 1V/20A output at 400kHz switching frequency, supports PMBus/SMBus/I²C digital control, and integrates on-board transient load generation, power-good monitoring, and thermal protection.
For engineers reviewing the ISL68200DEMO1Z datasheet, ISL68200DEMO1Z pinout, ISL68200DEMO1Z application, or ISL68200DEMO1Z equivalent, this board enables rapid validation of digital power management features including programmable soft-start, margining, sequencing, fault response, and efficiency optimization across input ranges from 4.75V to 14.5V.
Technical Context
The ISL68200DEMO1Z implements a complete 1V/20A synchronous buck converter using the ISL68200IRZ-REVD controller, dual N-channel MOSFETs (BSC0910NDI), and a 220nH inductor. It operates with fixed 400kHz switching frequency by default and supports configurable PFM mode for light-load efficiency improvement.
Board-level functionality includes resistor-programmable configuration (PROG1–PROG4), on-board transient load with adjustable di/dt via function generator interface, integrated LDOs for single-rail biasing, and cascadeable PMBus connectors (J8/J9) for multi-rail system evaluation.

FAQ
What is the primary purpose of the ISL68200DEMO1Z?
The ISL68200DEMO1Z is a fully assembled demonstration board built to evaluate the ISL68200 single-phase synchronous buck PWM controller. It provides hands-on validation of R4™ modulator performance, PMBus programmability, transient response, fault protections, and efficiency across input voltages from 4.75V to 14.5V and output loads up to 20A at 1V.
Does the ISL68200DEMO1Z require external software to operate?
No - the ISL68200DEMO1Z can operate in stand-alone mode using hardware configuration via PROG1–PROG4 resistors and the ENABLE switch. However, Renesas PowerNavigator™ software is required to access full PMBus functionality, including real-time telemetry, margining, sequencing, and dynamic parameter reconfiguration of the ISL68200DEMO1Z.
What components are included with the ISL68200DEMO1Z shipment?
The ISL68200DEMO1Z shipment includes the demonstration board itself, ZLUSBEVAL3Z USB-to-PMBus dongle, USB cable, and documentation (UG067 User Guide). No additional power supplies, function generators, or test equipment are included - these must be sourced separately for full transient and efficiency characterization.
Can the ISL68200DEMO1Z be used to evaluate different output voltages?
Yes - the ISL68200DEMO1Z supports configurable output voltages from 0.5V to 5.5V via PROG pin settings or PMBus VOUT_COMMAND. Table 1 in UG067 shows verified configurations for 3.3V/16A and 5.0V/16A operation, including required changes to inductor, output capacitors, and current-sense resistor values to maintain stability and accuracy.
How is transient load applied on the ISL68200DEMO1Z?
The ISL68200DEMO1Z includes an on-board transient load circuit driven by an external function generator connected to FG_DRIVE2 and FG_GND2. This controls di/dt and step amplitude across parallel 0.1Ω resistors (RLT1//RLT2), enabling repeatable load-step testing up to 25A/µs while keeping average power within rating limits through <10% duty cycle constraints.
