ISL54302EVAL1Z Evaluation Board

User’s Manual

Before Getting Started

Voltage Supplies

This document supplements the ISL54302 data sheet 

FN6592

. Evaluation board users should review that 

document to obtain information on the part’s basic 
functionality and power requirements. Important Note: 

before powering up the board, review the Power-Up 
Sequence section in the ISL54302 data sheet.

 There are 

many DC sources utilized, so a user may inadvertently 
misapply the power sources causing damage to the part. 

Take time to review the ISL54302 Data Sheet (FN6592) and 
become familiar with the part’s basic functions and power 
options. Note also that FN6591 supersedes this document 
with respect to updates and modifications. Always refer to 
that document if discrepancies occur.

No signal should be more positive than VPLUS or more 
negative than VSS. Also, all voltages are reference to the 
GND Pin. Under all circumstances, VLOGIC should be 3.0V 
±10% and VDD should also be 3.0V above VSS.

Software Installation

This ISL54302EVAL1Z Evaluation board comes with 
software for operating the switch conditions of the board. 
This feature is based in a USB interface dongle that Intersil 
uses in many applications. This dongle comes pretested and 
plugged into the ISL54302EVAL1Z Evaluation board. Care 
should be taken not to inadvertently remove the dongle from 
the evaluation board as it is detachable. It is detachable so 
the user can remove the Dongle and connect a customer 
specific control if desired.

Before attaching the USB cable or applying power to the 
Evaluation board banana jacks, the user must execute the 
installation program.

Intersil_ISL54302_Installer.Exe. This program not only installs 
the Evaluation Software, but also installs the USB drivers 
needed to communicate with the Intersil USB Dongle.

Double click on the installer program to execute and follow 
the defaults for performing the installation.

All Intersil Evaluation Software is placed in a directory in the 
Windows “Program Files” Directory. After installation the 
software is available at: All Programs/Intersil/Intersil_54302. 
In that directory will be both the execution program and the 
uninstaller.

Once installation is complete, connect the USB cable. You 
will receive audio notice that the new device is ready for use. 
Once this occurs, double click on the ISL54302 application. 
The operator interface screen will appear on your desktop.

Two buttons are located on the right hand side of the user 
screen. They provide a quick means of testing the computer 
to Dongle communications. Clicking on the “Led’s On” will 
turn on the Green and Red Led’s located on the USB 
Dongle. Clicking “Led’s Off” will turn them off again.

If the LED’s fail to respond:

1. Exit the application and restart the application.

2. Exit the application, disconnect the USB cable, wait for

the USB disconnect tone, then connect the USB, wait for
the connect tone and restart the application.

Once you can successfully turn the Dongle Led’s on and off, 
you are ready to start working with ISL54302 device.

Device Power Supply Banana Jacks

There are five banana jacks located on the edge of the 
board.

• GND - the reference for all supplies always 0Vs

• VSS - the negative switch operating range (-3V to 0V)

• VDD - digital logic supply, always VSS + 3V

• VLOGIC - digital interface reference always 3V

• VPLUS - Positive switch operation range, 5V to 9V

Apply these voltages in the order detailed in the device 
specification.

Test Setup Voltages

The user may wish to adopt the procedure outlined in the 
“Initial Power-Up” section on page 2.
