ISL54224IRTZEVAL1Z Evaluation Board User Manual
Description
Features
The ISL54224IRTZEVAL1Z evaluation board is designed to
provide a quick and easy method for evaluating the ISL54224
USB Switch IC.
• Standard USB Connectors
The ISL54224 device is a unique IC. To use this evaluation
board properly requires a thorough knowledge of the operation
of the IC. See the ISL54224 datasheet for an understanding of
the functions and features of the device. Studying the device’s
truth-table along with the pin configuration diagram on page 2
of the datasheet is the best way to get a quick understanding
of how the part works.
The ISL54224IRTZEVAL1Z evaluation board is shown in
Figure 1. The ISL54224 TDFN IC is soldered onto the center of
the evaluation board and is designated as U1.
The evaluation board includes USB connectors, banana jacks,
and toggle switches that 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, the user can control the logic pins with
toggle switches, S1 (SEL) and S2 (OE/ALM). These switches
allow the user to switch between the two high-speed USB
devices while connected to a single USB host (computer).
• Banana Jacks for Power, Ground, VBUS and Logic
Connections
• Toggle Switches for Easy Control of Logic Pins
• Jumpers to Allow a USB Device to Get Its VBUS Voltage from
the Host Controller
• Jumper to Connect a 100kΩ Pull-up Resistor from the
OE/ALM Pin to VDD
• Convenient Test Points and Connections for Test Equipment
ISL54224IRTZEVAL1Z
Evaluation Board
In a typical application, the ISL54224 dual SPDT device is used
to select between two different USB transceiver sections of a
media player. Logic control from a microprocessor determines
which section to connect to the computer. The following
sequence could be used to change channels:
1. A signal is sent to take the OE/ALM pin low, which opens all
switches. The off-isolation of the ISL54224 device allows
the present active channel to properly disconnect from the
computer.
2. The SEL pin is set to select the other USB channel.
3. The OE/ALM pin is taken high to close the switches, which
makes the connection between the computer and the other
USB section of the player.
This application note guides the user through configuring and
using the ISL54224IRTZEVAL1Z evaluation board to evaluate
the ISL54224 device.

Application Note 1571
Board Architecture/Layout
The basic layout of the evaluation board is as follows (see
Figure 1 and “ISL54224IRTZEVAL1Z Board Schematic” on
page 5).
• Power and ground connections are at the banana jacks (J1 and
J2) at the top of the board.
• Logic connections SEL and OE/ALM are at the top of the board
at banana jacks J4 and J3. They can also be accessed by using
the toggle switches, S1 and S2, located in the upper center of
the board. To use the toggle switches, jumpers JP1 and JP2
must be installed. To control the logic through banana jacks J4
and J3, the JP1 and JP2 jumpers should not be populated.
• The OE/ALM pin is an open-drain connection. It should be
pulled high through an external 100kΩ pull-up resistor. The
evaluation board has a 100kΩ pull-up resistor (R1) that can be
connected between the OE/ALM pin and the VDD supply by
installing a jumper at JP3.
• The USB connector, J5, located at the bottom of the board,
provides a USB connection to an upstream host controller
(computer).
• USB connectors J6 (USB TO DEVICE 1) and J7 (USB TO
DEVICE 2), located on the right and left sides of the board,
provide USB connections to downstream USB devices.
• Banana jacks J8 (VBUSCH2) and J9 (VBUSCH1) provide VBUS
voltage for USB devices. Optionally, VBUS for a USB device can
be connected to the host controller VBUS through jumpers JP4
(Device 2) and JP5 (Device 1).
• The ISL54224 IC (U1) is located in the center of the board. The
evaluation board has a Pin 1 indicator dot to show how the IC
should be oriented on the evaluation board. The IC Pin 1
indicator dot should be aligned with the evaluation board Pin 1
indicator dot.
IC Power Supply
A DC power supply connected at banana jacks J1 (VDD) and J2
(GND) provides power to the ISL54224 IC. The IC requires a
2.7VDC to 5.25VDC power supply for proper operation. The power
supply should be capable of delivering 100µA of current.
VBUS Power Supply
A DC power supply connected at banana jacks J9 (VBUSCH1) and
J8 (VBUSCH2) provides the VBUS voltage required by the USB
devices. The devices require a DC power supply in the range of
4.4V to 5.25V for proper operation. The power supply should be
capable of delivering 100mA of current.
The J8 banana jack is connected to the VBUS pin of the J7 “A”
type USB receptacle. The J9 banana jack is connected to the
VBUS pin of the J6 “A” type receptacle.
VBUS voltage can be provided from the USB host controller
(computer) by installing a jumper at either JP4 or JP5.
With a jumper at JP4, the VBUS voltage from J5 (USB TO HOST)
gets routed to the J7 connector (USB TO DEVICE 2). With this
jumper installed, no DC supply should be connected at the J8
(VBUSCH2) banana jack.
2
With a jumper at JP5, the VBUS voltage from J5 (USB TO HOST)
gets routed to the J6 connector (USB TO DEVICE 1). With this
jumper installed, no DC supply should be connected at the J9
(VBUSCH1) banana jack.
Logic Control
The state of the ISL54224 device is determined by the voltage at
the SEL pin and the OE/ALM pin. Access to the SEL pin is through
the banana jack, J4 (SEL), or the toggle switch, S1 (SEL). Access
to the OE/ALM pin is through the banana jack, J3 (OE/ALM), or
the toggle switch, S2 (OE/ALM). To use the toggle switches to
control the logic, jumpers should be installed at JP1 and JP2.
Remove the jumpers to control the logic through the banana
jacks.
A jumper installed at JP3 connects a 100kΩ resistor between the
OE/ALM pin and VDD.
If SEL is driven low (to ground), OE/ALM = High (pulled up to
VDD), and signal voltage is 0V to 3.6V, the high-speed (HS)
channel 1 switches will be ON. In this state, the USB host
controller (computer) connected at J5 is connected through to
the USB device connected at J6, and data can be transmitted
between the computer and the device.
If SEL is driven high, OE/ALM = High (pulled up to VDD), and
signal voltage is 0V to 3.6V, the high-speed (HS) channel 2
switches will be ON. In this state, the USB host controller
(computer) connected at J5 is connected through to the USB
device connected at J7, and data can be transmitted between
the computer and the device.
If OE/ALM = Low, all switches are OFF. Neither device is
connected through to the host controller. OE/ALM can be driven
low or is internally driven low by the ISL54224 IC in an
overvoltage condition (signal is >3.8V or <-0.5V).
In a typical application, the ISL54224 dual SPDT device is used
to select between two different USB transceiver sections of a
media player. Logic control from a microprocessor determines
which section to connect to the computer. To change channels,
the following sequence could be followed:
1. A signal from the microprocessor is sent to take the OE/ALM
pin low, which opens all switches. The off-isolation of the
ISL54224 device allows the present active channel to
properly disconnect from the computer.
2. The microprocessor drives the SEL pin to select the other USB
channel.
3. The OE/ALM pin is allowed to go high by the microprocessor,
which closes the switches and makes the connection
between the computer and the other USB section of the
player.
USB Connections
A “B” type USB receptacle labeled “USB TO HOST” (J5) is located
on the bottom of the board. This receptacle should be connected,
by a standard USB cable, to the upstream USB host controller,
which is usually a PC computer or hub. When this connection is
made, the ISL54224 device connects the computer through to
the USB device according to the voltage at the SEL logic control
pin.
An “A” type USB receptacle labeled “USB TO DEVICE 1” (J6) is
located on the right side of the board. A USB device can be
AN1571.0

Application Note 1571
plugged directly into this receptacle or through a standard USB
cable.
An “A” type USB receptacle labeled “USB TO DEVICE 2” (J7) is
located on the left side of the board. A USB device can be
plugged directly into this receptacle or through a standard USB
cable.
The USB switches are bi-directional, which allows the host
(computer) and downstream USB device to both send and receive
data.
High-Speed Switches
The four HSx switches (HSD1-, HSD1+, HSD2-, HSD2+) are
bi-directional switches that can pass signals up to 3.6V with a
VDD supply voltage in the range of 2.7V to 5.25V.
When powered with a 2.7V supply, these switches have a
nominal rON of 6.5Ω over the signal range of 0V to 400mV, with
an rON flatness of 0.3Ω. The rON matching between the HSDxand HSDx+ switches over this signal range is only 0.06Ω,
ensuring minimal impact by the switches to USB high-speed
signal transitions. As the signal level increases, the rON switch
resistance increases. At a signal level of 3.3V, the switch
resistance is nominally 12Ω.
The HSx switches are specifically designed to pass USB 2.0
high-speed (480Mbps) differential signals typically in the range
of 0V to 400mV. They have low capacitance and high bandwidth,
which allows them to pass USB high-speed signals with
minimum edge and phase distortion and thus meet USB 2.0
high-speed signal quality specifications.
The HSx switches can also pass USB full-speed signals (12Mbps)
with minimal distortion and meet all the USB requirements for
USB 2.0 full-speed signaling.
The maximum normal operating signal range for the HSx
switches is from 0V to 3.6V. For normal operation, the signal
voltage should not be allowed to exceed this voltage range or to
go below ground by more than -0.3V.
If a positive voltage of >3.8V (Typ) to 5.25V, such as the USB 5V
VBUS voltage, gets shorted to one or both of the COM+ and COMpins, or if a negative voltage of <-0.5V (Typ) to -5V gets shorted to
one or both of the COM pins, the ISL54224 overvoltage
protection (OVP) circuitry is activated. OVP allows the device to
detect the overvoltage condition and open the SPDT switches to
prevent damage to the USB downstream transceivers connected
at the signal pins (HS1D-, HS1D+, HS2D-, HS2D+).
The OVP and power-off protection circuitry allow the COM pins
(D-, D+) to be driven up to 5.25V while the VDD supply voltage is
in the range of 0V to 5.25V. In this condition, the part draws
<100µA of ICOMx and IDD current and causes no stress to the IC.
In addition, the SPDT switches are OFF and the fault voltage is
isolated from the other side of the switch.
The OE/ALM pin gets internally pulled low whenever the part
senses an overvoltage condition. The pin must be externally
pulled high with a pull-up resistor and monitored for a low
condition to determine when an overvoltage condition has
occurred.
