ISL54200EVAL1Z Evaluation Board

User’s Manual

Description

The ISL54200EVAL1Z evaluation board is designed to 
provide a quick and easy method for evaluating the 
ISL54200 USB Switch IC.

The ISL54200 device is a unique IC. To use this evaluation 
board properly requires a thorough knowledge of the 
operation of the IC. Refer to the data sheet for an 
understanding of the functions and features of the device. 
Studying the device’s truth-table along with its pin-out 
diagram on page 2 of the data sheet is the best way to get a 
quick understanding of how the part works.

A picture of the main evaluation board is shown in Figure 1. 
The ISL54200 

μ

TQFN IC is soldered onto the evaluation 

board. It is located in the center of the board and is 
designated as U1.

The evaluation board contains USB connectors to allow the 
user to easily interface with the IC to evaluate its functions, 
features, and performance. For example, with the board 
properly powered and configured as shown in Figure 2 you 
can control the logic pins, IN and EN, to switch between a 
high-speed device and a full-speed device while connected 
to a single USB host (computer).

In a typical application, the ISL54200 dual SPDT device is 
used to select between two different USB transceiver 
sections of a media player. Logic control from a 

µ

processor 

determines which section to connect to the computer. To 
change channels, the following sequence would possibly be 
followed: 

1. A signal would be sent to take the EN pin Low, to open all 

switches. The off-isolation of the ISL54200 device would 
allow the present active channel to properly disconnect 
from the computer. 

2. The IN pin would be set to select the other USB channel. 

3. The EN pin would then be taken High to close the 

switches to make the connection between the computer 
and the other USB section of the player.

This application note will guide the user through the process 
of configuring and using the evaluation board to evaluate the 
ISL54200 device.
