Measurements were taken at room temperature under
thermal equilibrium with no air flow. As the other regulated
outputs are all derived through linear regulation, their
efficiencies are not shown.
ISL6548A_6506EVAL1Z Customization
There are numerous ways in which a designer might modify
the ISL6548A_6506EVAL1Z evaluation board for differing
requirements. Some of the changes which are possible
include:
• The input and output inductors, L200 and L201, for the
• The input and output capacitance for any of the regulators.
• The overcurrent trip point of the V
• Changing the value of C104 to alter the soft-start profile of
• All MOSFET footprints on the evaluation board allow for
• ISL6506 control can be bypassed by placing zero ohm

Conclusion
The ISL6548A_6506EVAL1Z is a versatile platform that
allows designers to gain a full understanding of the
functionality of the ISL6506 and ISL6548A chipset in an
ACPI compliant system. The board is also flexible enough to
allow the designer to modify the board for differing
requirements. The following pages provide a schematic, bill
of materials, and layout drawings to support implementation
of this solution.

voltage level is to be modified, always change the resistor
that is tied between the feedback point of the error
amplifier and ground. Modifying the value of the resistor
that is located between the output and the feedback point
on the error amplifier will alter the system response
characteristics. Refer to the ISL6548A datasheet section
titled “References” on page 10 for the equations used to
select the resistor values discussed above.
supply can be negated by populating resistor Rx11 with a
0Ω jumper. Doing this will cause the PSON# signal to the
ATX supply to be hard tied to ground. This will force the
ATX supply on even in sleep states.
