ISL54211EVAL1Z Evaluation Board User’s Manual ® Application Note Description February 13, 2009 AN1408.0 Picture of Evaluation Board (Top View) The ISL54211EVAL1Z evaluation board is designed to provide a quick and easy method for evaluating the ISL54211 USB/Audio Switch IC. The ISL54211 device is an 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 pinout 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 ISL54211 TDFN IC is soldered onto the evaluation board. It is located in the center of the board and is designated as U1. The ISL54211 IC has three modes of operation called Audio mode, USB mode and Mute mode. The evaluation board contains standard Audio and USB connectors to allow the user to easily interface with the IC to evaluate its functions, features, and performance in the these modes of operation. For example, when the board is properly powered, a headphone can be plugged into the headphone jack (J7) and a stereo source, such as a MP3 player, can be connected at the RCA connectors J3 (AUDIO LEFT) and J4 (AUDIO RIGHT) to play music through the audio switches of the IC. See Figure 2. You can then turn-off the audio source, remove the headphones, configure the logic for USB operation and then attach a USB cable from a computer to the USB connector J1 (USB TO HOST). This will establish a connection from the computer through the USB switches of the IC to the USB device connected at the USB connector J2 (USB TO DEVICE), to send and receive data. FIGURE 1. ISL54211EVAL1Z EVALUATION BOARD Board Architecture/Layout Basic Layout of Evaluation Board The basic layout of the main board is as follows: Refer to Figure 1. • Power and Ground connections are at the top of the board (J10 and J11). • Logic control connections are at the top of the board (J12 and J13). This application note will guide the user through the process of configuring and using the evaluation board to evaluate the ISL54211 device in both the Audio mode and the USB mode. • Audio Source Inputs are at the lower right side of the board (J3 to J6). Audio outputs are at the lower left side of the board (J7, J8, J9). Connector J7 is a standard headphone jack for connecting a 32Ω headphone.

Application Note 1408 Power Supply The DC power supply connected at banana jacks J10 (VDD) and J11 (GND) provides power to the part. The IC requires a 2.7V to 5.0V DC power supply for proper operation. The power supply should be capable of delivering 100µA of current. Logic Control The state of the ISL54211 device is determined by the voltage at the IN pin and the CTRL pin. Access to the CTRL pin is through the banana jack J12 (CTRL). Access to the IN pin is through banana jack J13 (IN) when jumper JP3 is in position 2 to 3 and through the USB J1 (USB TO HOST) connector VBUS line when the jumper JP3 is in position 2 to 1. These control pins are 1.8V logic compatible which allows for control via a standard µcontroller. Logic “0” (LOW) when <= 0.5V or floating Logic “1” (HIGH) when >= 1.4V Note: The evaluation board has the option of putting a 4MΩ pull-down resistor from the IN pin to ground by putting a jumper at JP4. However it is not required for the ISL54211 part because the IN and CTRL pins have internal 4MΩ pull-down resistors. These resistors pull the logic pins to ground when J13, J1, or J12 are floated. If IN is driven LOW, and CTRL is HIGH, the part will be in the Audio mode. The audio switches will be ON and the USB switches will be OFF. If IN is driven HIGH and CTRL = X, (don’t care) the part will be in the USB mode. The USB switches will be ON and the audio switches will be OFF. If IN is LOW and CTRL is LOW, the part will be in the MUTE mode. In MUTE mode all switches are OPEN. SETTING UP THE EVALUATION BOARD TO USE THE COMPUTER VBUS VOLTAGE TO DRIVE THE “IN’ PIN Rather than using a logic controller to control the IN logic pin through the J13 (IN) banana jack, you can directly drive the IN pin using the VBUS voltage from the computer through the USB J1 (USB TO HOST) connector. To control the part through the J1 connector make the following connections: 1. Install jumper JP3 at location 2 to 1. This connects the VBUS line of the J1 USB connector to the IN pin of the part. Note: With the jumper in this position the J13 banana jack is no longer connected to the IN pin of the part. 2. A 500kΩ resistor should be put in series with the IN pin if the VBUS voltage is greater than the VDD voltage. This series resistor is not on the evaluation board. There is an internal diode in the IC from the IN pin to VDD that will get 2 forward biased and draw current as the voltage at the IN pin exceeds the VDD voltage. With VBUS = 5.25V and VDD = 3.3V, this resistor will limit the current to around 2.76μA and the voltage at the IN pin will be around 3.6V which is well above the VinH min level of 1.4V required for proper operation. When the computer is not connected at J1, the internal pulldown will pull the IN pin low putting the ISL54211 in the Audio mode or Mute mode depending on the condition of the CTRL pin. When a USB cable from the computer is connected at J1, the voltage at the IN pin will be driven high and the part will automatically go into the USB mode. When the USB cable is disconnected from the J1 connector the voltage at the IN pin will be pulled low by the pull-down resistor and return to the Audio mode or Mute mode depending on the condition of the CTRL pin. Audio Inputs The evaluation board has two audio inputs labeled AUDIO LEFT (J3 or J5) and AUDIO RIGHT (J4 or J6). Each of these inputs have a BNC connector wired in parallel with a RCA jack connector. You can connect an audio source/generator at either the BNC connector or the RCA connector. In a typical application the left and right outputs of a stereo source, such as an MP3 player, would be connect to the RCA jacks J3 and J4, respectfully. Over a signal range of ±1V (0.707VRMS) these switches have an extremely low rON resistance variation. They can pass ground referenced audio signals with very low distortion (<0.05% THD+N) when delivering 15.6mW into a 32W headphone speaker load. A 3VP-P signal is acceptable but performance will degrade. The audio channels are AC coupled with 100µF capacitors. These caps remove any DC voltage from the audio signals and reference them to ground of the device. If the audio source being connected to the evaluation board already has AC coupling capacitors at the output of its drivers then the capacitors on the evaluation board should be shorted out (replaced with 0 Ω resistors). This will prevent further attenuation of the low frequency content of the audio signal due to the increase of the high-pass corner frequency resulting from the evaluation board capacitor in series with the audio source capacitor. Audio Outputs The evaluation board has a standard headphone jack labeled HEADPHONE JACK (J7). A 32W stereo headphone should be plugged into this jack. The BNC connector J8 (COM-) is in parallel with the audio left line of the headphone jack and the D- line of the J1 (USB To HOST) connector. The BNC connector J9 (COM+) is in parallel with the audio right line of the headphone jack and AN1408.0 February 13, 2009 Application Note 1408 the D+ line of the J1 (USB To HOST) connector. These BNC connectors can be used to connect resistive loads and/or test equipment to evaluate the performance of the IC. Board Component Definitions TABLE 1. BOARD COMPONENT DEFINITIONS DESIGNATOR USB Connections A “B” type USB receptacle labeled “USB TO HOST” (J1) is located on the left under-side of the board. This receptacle should be connected, using a standard USB cable, to the up-stream USB host controller which is usually a PC computer or hub. When this connection is made and the IN logic control is driven HIGH, the ISL54211 device will go into USB mode. The USB switches will be turned ON. An “A” type USB receptacle labeled USB TO DEVICE (J2) is located on the right under-side of the board. The USB device can be plugged directly into this receptacle or through a standard USB cable. In USB mode the USB host controller and USB device will be connected through the internal USB switches of the IC. The USB switches are bi-directional which allow the host (computer) and downstream USB device to both send and receive data. Note: Before connecting the USB host controller at connector J1, the headphones must be removed from the headphone speaker jack, J7. This will prevent the audio load from interfering with USB signal transmission. The main purpose of the ISL54211 device is to allow the use of a common USB and Audio Headphone Connector in Personal Media Players and other portable battery powered equipment. Either a headphone will be in the common connector to play music or a USB cable from a computer will be in the common connector to transmit digital data, such as music, into the memory of the media player.

BASIC EVALUATION TEST SETUP BLOCK DIAGRAM Using The Board (Refer to Figure 2) Lab Equipment The equipment, external supplies and signal sources needed to operate the board are listed below: 1. +3V to 5V DC Power Supply 2. Stereo Audio Source (MP3/Radio/CD Player) or Audio Generator 3. Headphone Set or Audio Analyzer/Oscilloscope 4. Two standard High-speed USB cables 5. Computer with USB port 6. USB device (i.e. USB memory stick, MP3 Player with USB port, etc.) Initial Board Setup Procedure 1. Attach the main evaluation board to a DC power supply at J10 (VDD) and J11 (GND). Positive terminal at J10 and negative terminal at J11. The supply should be capable of delivering 3V to 5V and 100µA of current. Set the supply voltage to 3.3V. 2. Connect the stereo audio source left channel to J3 RCA connector or J5 BNC connector and right channel to J4 RCA connector or J6 BNC connector. 3. Connect the USB device to the USB “B” type receptacle, J2 (USB TO DEVICE). 4 Audio Mode Operation 1. Install headphone in the headphone jack, J7. No USB cable should be connected at the J1 (USB TO HOST) connector. 2. Logic Control: Put CTRL = Logic “1” and IN = Logic “0”. You will now be in Audio mode (2.4Ω audio switches are ON). 3. Turn the audio source ON. You should hear the music in the headphones. 4. You can observe the audio signals at the output of the IC on an oscilloscope or audio analyzer by using the J8 and J9 BNC connectors. Connect to J8 for Left audio and J9 for right audio. USB Mode Operation 1. Turn OFF audio stereo source. 2. Remove headphone from J7 Headphone Jack. 3. Logic Control: Put CTRL = Logic “X” and IN = Logic “1”. You will now be in USB mode (5.4Ω USB switches are ON). 4. Connect USB cable from computer USB port to the USB “A” type receptacle, J1 (USB TO HOST) on the evaluation board. The computer should indicate that it is connected to the USB device connected at the J2 connector. 5. You will now be able to send and receive data between the computer and USB device. AN1408.0 February 13, 2009 Application Note 1408 6. You can observe the D- and D+ USB digital signals on an oscilloscope or other test equipment by connecting to the J8, J14, J9 and J15 BNC connectors or various test points located on the board (see Test Points page 5). 7. Remove the 0 Ω resistors R1, R2, R3, R4 when evaluating the signal quality (i.e. eye diagram, etc.) of the high speed USB signal. Removal of these resistors disconnects the headphone jack (J7) and BNC connectors (J8, J9, J14, J15) from the USB differential lines. These components when connected will degrade the USB signal. These components will not be there in an actual application. If you disconnect the USB cable from J1 and take the IN pin LOW, the IC will return to Audio mode. You can now plug the headphone set into headphone jack, turn the audio source ON to once again play music. Test Points The board has various test points for ease of connecting probes to make measurements. The test points available are described in Table 2. TABLE 2.
