ISL73847SEHEV2Z Evaluation Board Manual
1.3 Changing the Switching Frequency
The ISL73847SEHEV2Z is configured for a 500kHz switching frequency by a JP1 connecting a 94.2kΩpull-down
resistor (R2) on the FS pin. The evaluation board includes a 0.22µH inductor and an array of output bypass
capacitors for a 2.64mF output capacitance per phase, which makes up the LC filter. If you need to select a
different switching frequency, see Figure 3 for selecting the appropriate R2value on FS. An alternate on-board
configuration is to connect JP1 to position 1-2, which ties FS to VCC. This setting defaults the switching frequency
to 500kHz. For more information on the FS pin, refer to the ISL73847SEH datasheet.
Table 1. Default Jumper Settings and Alternate Configurations
Jumper Function/Description Default Configuration Alternate Configuration
JP1 Sets the frequency of the
ISL73847SEH Controller
Jumper in 2-3 position connects a
94.2kΩpull-down from FS to GND,
which sets the oscillator frequency to
1MHz.
Jumper in 1-2 position ties FS to
VCC, which sets the oscillator
frequency to 1MHz.
JP2
Powers the ISL70040SEH FET driver,
which is part of the load transient
generator circuit
Remove Jumper to disconnect VDD and
disable the FET driver.
Populate Jumper to connect VDD
to enable the FET driver.
JP3 Sets the output of the SYNCO pin
Populate Jumper and connect a 100kΩ
pull-down from SYNC-O to GND (R4),
and remove the SYNC-O to VCC pull-up
(R59). This outputs the internal oscillator
or SYNC-l external oscillator.
Populate Jumper and remove the
100kΩpull-down from SYNC-O to
GND (R4), and populate the
SYNC-O to VCC pull-up (R59) with
a 100kΩ. This outputs 1/2 of the
frequency of the internal oscillator
or SYNC-l external oscillator.
JP4 Disables the phase 1 output of the
buck regulator
Jumper in 2-3 position ties PWM of the
ISL73041SEH FET Driver (U2) to PWM1
of the ISL73847SEH controller, which
enables phase 1 output of the buck
regulator.
Jumper in 1-2 position ties PWM of
the ISL73041SEH FET Driver (U2)
to VCC, which disables phase 1
output of the buck regulator.
JP5 Disables the phase 2 output of the
buck regulator
Jumper in 2-3 position ties PWM of the
ISL73041SEH FET Driver (U3) to PWM2
of the ISL73847SEH controller, which
enables phase 2 output of the buck
regulator.
Jumper in 1-2 position ties PWM of
the ISL73041SEH FET Driver (U3)
to VCC, which disables phase 2
output of the buck regulator.
JP6 Disables or enables LED lights driven
by PG
Populate jumper to enable LED PG
indication.
Remove Jumper to disable LED
PG indication.
