Product details
Overview
ISL78224EVKIT2Z from Renesas is an evaluation kit designed for the ISL78224 4-phase bidirectional PWM controller, enabling engineers to configure, monitor, and validate buck (48V↔12V) and boost operation under automotive-grade input conditions (5V–64V VIN), with software-controlled register access via USB-to-I2C interface and GPIO pin control.
For engineers reviewing the ISL78224EVKIT2Z datasheet, ISL78224EVKIT2Z pinout, ISL78224EVKIT2Z application, or ISL78224EVKIT2Z equivalent, this kit supports rapid validation of phase-dropping, tracking, DE/CCM mode selection, hiccup/latch fault response, and multi-device synchronization - critical for 12V/48V dual-battery automotive power conversion systems.
Technical Context
The ISL78224EVKIT2Z implements the ISL78224EVAL2Z evaluation board paired with the ISLUSBADAPT-EVZ USB-to-I2C adapter, supporting both buck (48V→12V) and boost (12V→48V) topologies with forced-air-cooled 2kW peak output. It interfaces exclusively via I²C/PMBus protocol using a Windows-based GUI that reads/writes >60 control registers and polls >70 status/alert indicators.
Hardware configuration includes jumper-selectable modes (BT/BK, DE/CCM, HIC/LAT), phase-enable jumpers (JP110–JP410), and dedicated test points for Bode analysis (TP23/TP24). The kit operates across VIN = 5V–64V, BAT12 = 6V–40V, and BAT48 = 48V–64V (72V with isolated VIN), with flyback-derived 6V/12V bias rails for auxiliary circuitry.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the ISL78224EVKIT2Z?
The ISL78224EVKIT2Z is an evaluation kit for the ISL78224 4-phase bidirectional PWM controller. It enables hardware validation and software-driven configuration of buck (48V→12V) and boost (12V→48V) operation in automotive dual-battery systems. The kit includes the ISL78224EVAL2Z board, ISLUSBADAPT-EVZ interface, cables, and GUI software - all preconfigured to demonstrate full register control, fault monitoring, and multi-phase synchronization for the ISL78224.
Does the ISL78224EVKIT2Z support both buck and boost topologies?
Yes, the ISL78224EVKIT2Z fully supports both buck and boost operation. As documented in UG073 Rev.4.00 Sections 6.1–6.4, the kit can be configured for buck (48V→12V) or boost (12V→48V) without flyback, with or without GPIO control from the GUI. Jumper settings (e.g., J1, J80, J88) and software mode selection (BT/BK dropdown) determine topology behavior - validated up to 2kW with forced-air cooling.
What software is required to operate the ISL78224EVKIT2Z?
The ISL78224EVKIT2Z requires the official Renesas ISL78224/ISL78226 GUI software, distributed as a Windows application (32/64-bit compatible, tested on Windows 7/8/10). It communicates via the included ISLUSBADAPT-EVZ USB-to-I2C dongle and provides hex-level register access, combo-box controls for 60+ settings, real-time fault polling, startup file loading (startup.csv), and multi-device status display - all documented in UG073 Rev.4.00.
Can the ISL78224EVKIT2Z be used for multi-controller synchronization?
Yes - the ISL78224EVKIT2Z supports multi-device operation with master/slave configurations. Though the base kit is optimized for single-controller use, the GUI's "Active Devices" panel and jumpers (e.g., J80 for TRACK, J1 for PD_CTRL) enable synchronization of up to four ISL78224 devices. Section 4.1.3 of UG073 confirms master-only and master-plus-slaves setups, with status ACK indicators visible in the Quick Access Control Panel.
What are the key hardware components included in the ISL78224EVKIT2Z kit?
The ISL78224EVKIT2Z kit includes: (1) ISL78224EVAL2Z 8-layer evaluation board, (2) ISLUSBADAPT-EVZ REV A USB-to-I2C interface board, (3) USB cable, (4) 4-wire I2C cable (pin-1 marked), and (5) 11-wire GPIO cable. All are listed in Section 1.5 "Kit Contents" of UG073 Rev.4.00 and are necessary for full GUI functionality, register control, and hardware signal monitoring.
