Product details
Overview
The ISL85403DEMO1Z from Renesas Electronics is a demonstration board designed to evaluate the ISL85403 synchronous buck DC/DC converter, supporting 7V–40V input and delivering a fixed 5V/2.5A output with 93% peak efficiency at 12V input and 50% load.
For engineers reviewing the ISL85403DEMO1Z datasheet, ISL85403DEMO1Z pinout (J1–J11, U1 IC interface), ISL85403DEMO1Z application (POE-powered industrial sensors, 24V rail conversion, compact 5V point-of-load), or ISL85403DEMO1Z equivalent, this board provides validated reference design, thermal layout guidance, and performance characterization under real load and line conditions.
Technical Context
The ISL85403DEMO1Z implements the ISL85403 IC in a fixed-frequency (500kHz default) synchronous buck topology, using an integrated 127mΩ high-side MOSFET and external low-side FET (NTTFS5826NLTAG). It supports PFM/PWM mode selection via J5 and external clock synchronization via J7 (SYNC).
Output voltage is set to 5V by R3/R4 feedback network (232kΩ/44.2kΩ), adjustable down to 0.8V per ISL85403 specs; output ripple is 50mVpp at full 2.5A load. Input capacitors are placed adjacent to VIN and PGND pins to minimize switching loop inductance, and the QFN-20 IC's EP pad is connected to multi-layer ground plane via ≥9 vias for thermal management.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 7V to 40V - supports wide industrial and PoE+ input rails without pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0V - factory-configured for USB-compliant downstream power; adjustable via R3/R4 per Equation 1. |
| Max Output Current | 2.5A continuous - validated with thermal derating up to 40°C ambient using onboard layout and component selection. |
| Switching Frequency | 500kHz (default, FS pin open) - balances efficiency and size; programmable via R1 resistor or synchronized externally via J7. |
| Output Ripple | 50mVpp at 2.5A load - measured across C2/C11 output caps; meets typical digital logic supply noise budgets. |
| Peak Efficiency | 93% at 12V input, 1.25A load - reflects optimized gate drive, low-RDS(on) FETs, and minimized PCB parasitics. |

FAQ
What is the primary function of the ISL85403DEMO1Z?
The ISL85403DEMO1Z is a demonstration board that enables rapid evaluation of the ISL85403 synchronous buck DC/DC converter. It delivers a fixed 5V/2.5A output from a 7V–40V input, featuring validated thermal layout, performance curves, and configuration options including PFM/PWM mode selection and external clock synchronization. The ISL85403DEMO1Z is not a standalone power module but a reference design tool for system-level integration.
Can the output voltage of the ISL85403DEMO1Z be adjusted, and how?
Yes, the ISL85403DEMO1Z output voltage is adjustable from 0.8V to 5V using the feedback resistors R3 (232kΩ) and R4 (44.2kΩ); changing their values recalculates VOUT per Equation 1 in the user manual. To increase VOUT beyond 5V, higher-voltage-rated output capacitors (e.g., C2/C11) must be substituted per the note in AN1960. The ISL85403DEMO1Z ships configured for 5V, but the schematic and BOM support reconfiguration.
Does the ISL85403DEMO1Z support external frequency synchronization?
Yes, the ISL85403DEMO1Z supports external clock synchronization via the SYNC terminal (J7), allowing alignment of the ISL85403's switching frequency with an external source to reduce EMI in multi-rail systems. This functionality is enabled by connecting a clean clock signal to J7, as documented in the ISL85403 datasheet and verified on the ISL85403DEMO1Z board. The ISL85403DEMO1Z defaults to 500kHz when J7 is unconnected.
What is the maximum load current the ISL85403DEMO1Z can sustain continuously?
The ISL85403DEMO1Z is rated for 2.5A continuous output current under standard test conditions (12V input, 25°C ambient, natural convection). Performance curves in AN1960 confirm stable regulation and thermal behavior up to this level, with output ripple held to 50mVpp. Sustained operation above 2.5A requires additional heatsinking or forced airflow, as the board's thermal design targets the ISL85403's internal limits and component ratings.
How do I configure the ISL85403DEMO1Z for PWM versus PFM operation?
The ISL85403DEMO1Z uses test point J5 (MODE) to select operating mode: shorting J5 to ground configures the ISL85403 for forced PWM mode, ensuring constant frequency under light loads; leaving J5 open enables automatic PFM mode for improved light-load efficiency. This configuration is implemented directly on the ISL85403 IC and verified in the ISL85403DEMO1Z functional description and quick test setup section of AN1960.
