ISL71010BM50EV1Z 2. Functional Description
2. Functional Description
The ISL71010BM50EV1Z evaluation board provides a simple platform to demonstrate the features and evaluate the
performance of the ISL71010B50 voltage reference. It provides easy access to the pins of the ISL71010B50 IC. The
schematic, bill of materials, and top silkscreen for the board are shown on pages 6 through 8.
Figures 8 through 18 show performance data taken using the ISL71010BM50EV1Z evaluation board and basic lab
equipment.
The following sections explain how to use the evaluation board.
2.1 Basic Layout of the Evaluation Board
Refer to Figure 3 on page 6 or the actual ISL71010BM50EV1Z evaluation board for the basic layout.
The schematic of the evaluation board is shown in Figure 4 on page 6. The ISL71010BM50EV1Z contains the
ISL71010B50 voltage reference (U1), input decoupling capacitors (C1, C2), a compensation capacitor (C5), and a
load capacitor (C3). Different resistor values can be applied at (R2) for testing of the voltage reference at different
loads. The R2 resistor location accepts surface mount or through-hole style resistors.
The power supply leads attach to TP1 and TP2 (VIN, GND). The ISL71010B50 IC requires a DC supply in the
range of 7.0V to 30V for proper operation. The power supply should be capable of delivering 100mA of current.
The output is measured at test points TP3 and TP4 (VOUT, GND), and is best measured with a high precision voltmeter
(such as the Agilent 3458A 8 - 1/2 digit multimeter).
The R-C damper network (R1, C4) is populated and can be connected to the reference output by adding a shunt to
the R-C jumper (J1). The damper network improves stability by reducing transient load ringing with high value
(>0.47µF) load capacitance.

2.2 Operating Range
The ISL71010B50 IC requires a VIN DC supply in the range of 7.0V to 30V for proper operation. The power
supply should be capable of delivering 100mA of current.
The ISL71010B50 IC VOUT can source 20mA of current and sink -10mA of current. For normal operation the R2
load resistor should be selected to be ≥250Ω. Note: With VOUT shorted to ground the IC will limit the current to
≤75mA.
