Scope Probe Connections

Another topic to cover before getting started is the evaluation 
board physical connections for waveform observations. On 
each schematic version, you will see a component with pins 
designated as leadless scope probe connections. This is not 
an active component but a dual pin header physically 
designed to accommodate connection of Active/ Differential 
Probes. This will minimize Ground Lead Inductance and 
Capacitive Loading while make waveform observations. 
However, the user must also be mindful of Max Voltage 
Limitations when using these types of probes.

Scope Probe Test Points (TP) are positioned across most 
device pins and power supplies.

Initial Power-Up

Please refer to the device specifications found in the 
FN6592 data sheet for power-up sequencing and current 
requirements.

Test Setup Voltages 

To get started, the user may wish to adopt the following 
voltages which provide an analog switch range that is 
rail-to-rail. With these conditions, the user needs only three 
power supplies to get started.

• VSS = GND = 0V

• VDD = VLOGIC = 3V

• VPLUS = +6V to + 12V

The user can now open and close each switch via the 
software by checking and unchecking the switch controls 
and click the “Write” button.

BNC (Switch Contact) Connections

The evaluation board provides BNC connections for Switch 
Contact A and Switch Contact B signals see Figures 2 and 3. 
Since the ISL54302 is a quad switch device, there are eight 
BNC connections to the evaluation board.

Test Procedure

First Time Setup

SOFTWARE INSTALLATION AND BASIC 
COMMUNICATIONS CHECK

1. Remove the USB cable; do not have Evaluation board 

USB cable connected during software installation

2. Double click the provided installation file and follow the 

instructions for installation

- Intersil_ISL54302_Installer.Exe.

3. When finished, exit the installation software.

4. Connect the USB cable between the Evaluation board 

and your computer.

5. Run the Evaluation software. Start\ All Programs\Intersil\
