ISL54059EVAL1Z Through ISL54064EVAL1Z

Evaluation Board User’s Manual

Description

The ISL54059EVAL1Z, ISL54060EVAL1Z, 
ISL54061EVAL1Z, ISL54062EVAL1Z, ISL54063EVAL1Z 
and ISL54064EVAL1Z evaluation board is designed to 
provide a quick and easy method for evaluating the 
ISL54059 through ISL54064 ICs. 

The ISL54059 and ISL54062 ICs are a single supply Dual 
Single-Pole Double Throw (SPDT) analog switches while the 
ISL54060, ISL54061, ISL54063 and ISL54064 IC’s are 
single supply Dual Single-Pole Single Throw (SPST) analog 
switches. All devices feature negative swing capability, 
sub-

Ω

 ON-resistance, and low power dissipation. The ICs 

are designed for applications that require an analog switch 
that may see voltages below ground at the switch terminals, 
such as audio and video. The evaluation board is developed 
to evaluate the ISL540XX ICs, integrating many features for 
ease of use in examining the performance of the device 
under various operating conditions. To help understand the 
operation of the ISL540XX IC and the ISL540XXEVAL1Z 
evaluation board, it is recommended to study the evaluation 
board schematic found on page 4 of this document and the 
datasheet for the IC under evaluation.

The ICs are analog switches that are capable of swinging 
down to 6.5V below the positive supply rail. For example, if 
the supply is at +1.8V, the switch terminal analog operating 
range is from -4.3V to +1.8V. The ISL54062, ISL54063, and 
ISL54064 also integrate Click and Pop Elimination Circuitry 
to remove transient noises at the speaker during power 
ON/OFF of an audio system. The evaluation board contains 
standard RCA/BNC connectors and a single headphone jack 
to allow the user to easily interface with the IC to evaluate its 
functions, features, and performance. 

This application note will guide the user through the process 
of configuring and using the evaluation board to evaluate the 
ISL540XX devices.

Board Architecture/Layout

Basic Layout of Evaluation Board

A picture of the evaluation board is located in Figure 1. The 
ISL540XX IC is located inside socket U1 located at the 
center of the evaluation board. The IC needs to be 
orientated inside the socket such that the pin 1 indicator on 
the IC is aligned with the pin 1 indicator dot inside the 
socket. The evaluation board integrates the necessary 
connections and components to interface with the ICs for 
ease of operation.

Power Supply

The ISL540XX IC requires a supply voltage in the range of 
+1.8V to +6.5V for proper operation. Banana jacks for V

CC

(J1) and GND (J2) are located at the top of the board. The 
evaluation board contains a 10µF bulk capacitor and a 0.1µF 
high frequency decoupling capacitor at the supply lines.

Logic Control

The evaluation board contains two types of logic control to 
the digital logic inputs of the IC available to the user. The 
logic pins can be controlled either through manual or 
external operation. The logic control pins are manually 
toggled by the SPST switches mounted on the evaluation 
board (S1-S2). When the switch is in the up position (H), the 
associated logic pin is pulled to V

CC

 for logic HIGH. When 

the switch is in the down position (L), the associated logic 
pin is pulled to GND for logic LOW. For manual operation, 
the jumpers JP6-JP7 need to be in the 2-3 position. 

For external control via a function generator or switched 
source, set the jumpers JP6-JP7 in the 1-2 position. This 
by-passes the SPST switches and routes the logic control to
