the BNC connectors J13-J14 located on the bottom right side 
of the board. 

Note: There are 500k

Ω

 logic pull-down resistors on the INx 

control pins. In external control mode when the digital logic 
input lines are left in a floating state, these pull-down resistors 
bias the logic inputs to ground.

Switch Terminals

The evaluation board contains components to interface with 
all six terminals of the Dual SPDT switch (four terminals for 
the SPST switches). The common (COM) terminals of the 
switch are located on the right side of the evaluation board. 
The Normally Open (NO) and Normally Closed (NC) terminals 
of the switch are located on the left side of the evaluation 
board. All switch terminals include both RCA jacks and BNC 
connectors. The COM terminals also include a headphone 
jack (HJ1) for connecting a stereo headphone or line level 
plug.

Note: There are 10k

Ω

 pull-down resistors on the NCx and 

NOx pins of the evaluation board (R21, R22, R23, and R26). 
They will need to be depopulated if the user does not desire to 
have them.

Refer to Table 1 for a list of the connections on the 
ISL540XXEVAL1Z and the associated pin of the IC. The 
evaluation board also includes Test Points for convenient 
locations to probe specific pins on the IC.

TABLE 1. BOARD COMPONENT TABLE

Note: All switch terminals on the evaluation board have 
place holders that can have surface mounted components 
placed either in series with the switch path or shunted to 
ground. Jumpers on these components allow flexible 
configurations. Refer to the Evaluation Board Schematics 
located on page 4 for clarification.

Power Supply

The DC power supply connected at banana jacks J1 (V

CC

and J2 (GND) provides power to the evaluation board. The 
evaluation board requires a +1.8V to +6.5V DC power 
supply for proper operation. The power supply should be 
capable of delivering 100µ

A

 of current.

Logic Control

The state of the ISL540XX IC is determined by the Truth 
Table as defined in their respective datasheet. When in 
manual operation mode, the logic being toggled by the 
SPST switches (S1-S2) will always drive the voltage of the 
logic pin to V

CC 

for a HIGH and GND for a LOW. In external 

control mode, the voltages being driven by an external 
source must meet appropriate V

IH

 and V

IL

 levels as defined 

in the datasheet.

The control pins are 1.8V logic compatible up to a +3.3V 
supply, which allows for control via a standard µcontroller. 
Logic “0” (LOW) when 

 0.5V (or floating)

Logic “1” (HIGH) when 

1.4V

When operating above +3.3V supply, refer to the datasheet 
for appropriate logic levels to drive the logic pins. It is always 
recommended to drive the logic pins to the positive supply 
rail (V

CC

) and GND to minimize power consumption.

Logic States

INPUT SELECT (INX) PINS

If the INx Pins are logic “HIGH”, then the NOx switches are 
turned ON and the NCx switches are turned OFF. If the INx 
Pins are logic “LOW”, then the NCx switches are turned ON 
and the NCx switches are turned OFF.

CLICK AND POP OPERATION (ISL54062, ISL54063, 
ISL54064 ONLY)

Single supply audio sources are biased at a DC offset that 
generates transients during power ON/OFF of the audio 
source. This DC offset is coupled through a blocking 
capacitor that is need to remove the DC bias to the speaker, 
causing a transient voltage at the load. For example, when 
the source is OFF and suddenly turned ON with a DC offset, 
the capacitor will develop a voltage equal to the DC offset. 
This voltage gets discharged by the speaker causing a click 
and pop noise. The ISL54062, ISL54063, and ISL54064 ICs 
integrate circuitry to eliminate click and pop noises to the 
speaker.

For proper operation of Click and Pop elimination, the switch 
terminal that is being connected to the speaker should be 
connected through the integrated shunt resistor before
