Product details
Overview
LM5015ISOEVAL from Texas Instruments is an evaluation board for the LM5015 high-voltage monolithic two-switch forward/flyback DC-DC regulator IC, enabling rapid prototyping of isolated 5V/2.5A power supplies in industrial and telecom systems. It operates from 36–72V input, delivers regulated 5V ±1.5% output, achieves 86% efficiency at 48V/2.5A, and supports external clock synchronization and remote enable/disable control.
For engineers reviewing the LM5015ISOEVAL datasheet, LM5015ISOEVAL pinout, LM5015ISOEVAL application, or LM5015ISOEVAL equivalent, this page provides verified board-level specifications, configuration options (forward vs. flyback), thermal and probing guidance, efficiency curves, and BOM-level component validation - all critical for evaluating isolated DC-DC design feasibility and layout compatibility.
Technical Context
The LM5015ISOEVAL implements a fully assembled, two-layer PCB-based reference design centered on the LM5015 controller IC, which integrates both high-side and low-side MOSFETs to eliminate discrete power switches. It supports dual topologies: factory-default isolated two-switch forward (higher efficiency, lower ripple) and reconfigurable isolated two-switch flyback (lower cost, simplified magnetics).
Board-level features include synchronized switching at 300 kHz (native oscillator at 600 kHz), under-voltage lockout at 34V nominal, cycle-by-cycle current limiting at 1.2A primary switch peak, and AGND-referenced SYNC and EN control nodes - all validated per TI's AN-1724 and SNVA291A documentation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 36V to 72V - supports standard 48V telecom and industrial bus rails with 10% margin. |
| Output Voltage | 5V ±1.5% - tightly regulated across full input and load range, suitable for logic and interface power domains. |
| Max Output Current | 3A - enables robust testing of downstream loads including microcontrollers, FPGAs, and isolated interfaces. |
| Switching Frequency | 300 kHz - balances EMI performance, transformer size, and MOSFET conduction losses in isolated designs. |
| Measured Efficiency | 86% at VIN = 48V, IOUT = 2.5A - confirms real-world thermal and conversion performance without heatsink or forced air. |
| Board Dimensions | 2.5 in × 3.5 in × 0.63 in - compact form factor fits standard lab test benches and embedded system integration workflows. |
| Topology Support | Configurable forward (default) or flyback - allows direct comparison of ripple, efficiency, and transformer complexity in same hardware. |

FAQ
What topology does the LM5015ISOEVAL ship configured for?
The LM5015ISOEVAL ships pre-configured as an isolated two-switch forward DC-DC regulator, which delivers higher efficiency (~2% gain) and lower output ripple compared to the flyback option. This default configuration uses transformer T1-A (CA2983-CL) or T1-B (PA2194NL), and is validated per Figure 2 in AN-1724. Reconfiguration to flyback requires BOM changes listed in Table 2, including replacement of D4, L2, and the transformer.
Can the LM5015ISOEVAL be synchronized to an external clock?
Yes, the LM5015ISOEVAL supports external clock synchronization via the SYNC plated via referenced to AGND. Because the LM5015 internal oscillator runs at twice the switching frequency (600 kHz for 300 kHz operation), the external clock must exceed 600 kHz. Signal amplitude, rise/fall time, and duty cycle requirements are specified in the LM5015 datasheet (SNVS538), not the LM5015ISOEVAL user guide.
What is the maximum safe operating load current for the LM5015ISOEVAL?
The LM5015ISOEVAL supports up to 3A continuous output current, but exceeding 2.5A triggers cycle-by-cycle peak current limiting when primary switch current exceeds 1.2A (nominal). Sustained >3A loads cause output voltage collapse below 5V regulation. Thermal monitoring of U1 (LM5015), D3, and D4 is essential above 2A, especially at VIN = 72V.
How is remote enable/disable implemented on the LM5015ISOEVAL?
Remote enable/disable is implemented via the EN plated via on the LM5015ISOEVAL board, referenced to AGND. A logic-high signal (typically 3.3V or 5V) enables regulation; grounding or open-circuit disables it. The EN node connects directly to the LM5015's enable pin, and its threshold and hysteresis match the IC's datasheet specification - no external pull-up or level-shifting components are required.
Does the LM5015ISOEVAL include isolation certification documentation?
No, the LM5015ISOEVAL itself is not certified to UL, CSA, or IEC standards. It implements reinforced isolation via the transformer and optocoupler (U2: PS2811-1-M), but formal safety certification requires system-level testing in the end application. TI provides creepage/clearance data and transformer isolation ratings (e.g., 2.5 kVRMS for T1-A) in the BOM and schematic - users must validate compliance per their target regulatory standard.
