Picture of Evaluation Board (Top View)
The ISL54065EVAL1Z evaluation board is designed to
provide a quick and easy method for evaluating the
ISL54065 IC.
The ISL54065 IC is a single supply Dual Single-Pole Double
Throw (SPDT) analog switch with negative swing capability,
sub-Ω ON-resistance and low power dissipation. The
ISL54065 is designed for applications that require an analog
switch that may see voltages below ground at the switch
terminals, such as audio and video. The ISL54065EVAL1Z
evaluation board is developed to evaluate the ISL54065 IC,
integrating many features for ease of use in examining the
performance of the device under various operating
conditions. To help understand the operation of the
ISL54065 IC and the ISL54065EVAL1Z evaluation board, it
is recommended to study the Evaluation Board Schematic
on page 5 of this application note, and refer to the datasheet
for the ISL54065 IC.
The ISL54065 IC is a dual SPDT analog switch that is
capable of swinging down to 6.5V below the positive supply
rail. For example, if the supply is at +1.8V, the switch
terminal analog operating range is from -4.3V to +1.8V. The
ISL54065 also integrates Click and Pop Elimination Circuitry
to remove transient noises at the speaker during power
ON/OFF of an audio system. The evaluation board contains
standard RCA/BNC connectors and a single headphone jack
to allow the user to easily interface with the IC to evaluate its
functions, features, and performance. The evaluation board
has selectable output loads of 20kΩ and 32Ω resistors to
simulate an audio amplifier pre-amp or stereo headphones.
The board also has DC blocking capacitors at the switch
input to remove the DC bias of single supply amplifiers.
This application note will guide the user through the process
of configuring and using the evaluation board to evaluate the
ISL54065 device.

Board Architecture/Layout
Basic Layout of Evaluation Board
A picture of the evaluation board is located in Figure 1. The
ISL54065 IC is soldered onto a 12 Ld wide DIP header
board. The DIP header board is mounted to the center of the
evaluation board. The evaluation board integrates the
necessary connections and components to interface with the
ISL54065 for ease of operation.
Power Supply
The ISL54065 IC requires a supply voltage in the range of
+1.8V to +6.5V for proper operation. Banana jacks for VCC
(J1) and GND (J2) are located at the top of the board. The
evaluation board contains a 10µF bulk capacitor and a 0.1µF
high frequency decoupling capacitor at the supply lines.
Logic Control
The evaluation board contains two types of logic control to
the digital logic inputs of the ISL54065 IC available to the
user. The logic pins can be controlled either through manual
or external operation. The logic control pins are manually
toggled by the SPST switches mounted on the evaluation
board (S1-S3). When the switch is in the up position (H) the
associated logic pin is pulled to VCC for logic HIGH. When
the switch is in the down position (L) the associated logic pin
is pulled to GND for logic LOW. For manual operation, the
jumpers JP5-JP8 need to be in the 1-2 position.
Note: When JP6 is in the 1-2 position, the CP pin is
automatically logic HIGH.
For external control via a function generator or switched
source, set the jumpers JP5-JP8 in the 2-3 position. This

by-passes the SPST switches and routes the logic control to
the BNC connectors (J11-J14 located on the right side of the
board).
Note:S2 and S3 have a 3.9MΩ pull-down resistor hard-wired
from the INx pin to GND. These resistors do not appear on
the ISL54065EVAL1Z Board Schematic on page 5.
Switch Terminals
The evaluation board contains components to interface with
all six terminals of the Dual SPDT switch. The common
(COM) terminals of the switch are located in the upper right
section of the evaluation board. The Normally Open (NO)
and Normally Closed (NC) terminals of the switch are
located on the left side of the evaluation board. All switch
terminals include both RCA jacks and BNC connectors. The
COM terminals also include a headphone jack (HJ1) for
connecting a stereo headphone or line level plug.
Refer to Table 1 for a list of the pins on the ISL54065 IC and
the associated components on the evaluation board. The
evaluation board also includes Test Points for convenient
locations to probe specific pins on the IC.
TABLE 1. BOARD COMPONENT TABLE
When the jumpers are in the 2-3 position, the load
impedance is 20kΩ. If the user decides to have no load
impedance on the evaluation board, simply remove the
jumpers.
Power Supply
The DC power supply connected at banana jacks J1 (VCC)
and J2 (GND) provides power to the evaluation board. The
evaluation board requires a +1.8V to +6.5V DC power
supply for proper operation. The power supply should be
capable of delivering 100µA of current.
Logic Control
The state of the ISL54065 device is determined by the Truth
Table as defined in the ISL54065 datasheet. When in
manual operation mode, the logic being toggled by the
SPST switches (S1-S3) will always drive the voltage of the
logic pin to VCC for a HIGH and GND for a LOW. In external
control mode, the voltages being driven by an external
source must meet appropriate VIH and VIL levels as defined
in the datasheet.
The control pins are 1.8V logic compatible up to a +3.3V
supply, which allows for control via a standard µcontroller.

If the EN Pin is logic “HIGH” the switches are active and their
logic state dependent on the INx pins. If the EN Pin is logic
“LOW”, both COMx terminals are turned OFF from the NCx
and NOx switch terminals. The part is disabled and no
signals will pass through the switch.
Note: The audio inputs (NCx and NOx) have a 200µF series
DC blocking capacitance that can be used for AC coupling
audio signals that are DC biased in single supply systems. If
the audio source is not DC biased or if the audio source
already has a DC blocking capacitor, it is recommended to
bypass the capacitors (C3-C10) by placing jumpers on
JP1-JP4. The capacitance can be reduced to 100µF by
depopulating the 0Ω resistor on R1-R4.
The audio outputs (COM1 and COM2) have selectable
output loads on the evaluation board. Jumpers JP9 and
JP10 configure the output load resistance. When the
jumpers are in the 1-2 position, the load impedance is 32Ω.

When operating above +3.3V supply, refer to the datasheet
for appropriate logic levels to drive the logic pins. It is always
recommended to drive the logic pins to the positive supply
rail (VCC) and GND to minimize power consumption.
Logic States
INPUT SELECT (INX) PINS
CLICK AND POP (CP) PIN
If the CP Pin is logic “HIGH”, shunt resistors are activated on
the NOx and NCx terminals to ground when the switch is
OFF. For example, if INx is logic “HIGH”, the NCx switches
are turned OFF. There will be a shunt resistance from the
NCx to ground. The value of this resistor is dependent on
supply voltage, but is typically 140Ω with a 3.3V supply.
Driving the CP pin logic “LOW” will deactivate the Click and
Pop Elimination Circuitry and there will be no active shunt
resistors on the switch terminals when a switch is turned
OFF.

Note: If the CP is logic “HIGH”, and EN is logic “LOW”, the
NCx and the NOx switch terminals will have the Click and
Pop Elimination Circuitry active. Under this scenario, both
switch terminals with have a shunt resistor to ground.
CLICK AND POP OPERATION
Single supply audio sources are biased at a DC offset that
generates transients during power ON/OFF of the audio
source. This DC offset is coupled through a blocking
capacitor that is needed to remove the DC bias to the
speaker, causing a transient voltage at the load. For
example, when the source is OFF and suddenly turned ON
with a DC offset, the capacitor will develop a voltage equal to
the DC offset. If the ISL54065 does not have the Click and
Pop Elimination Circuitry active, a transient discharge will
occur in the speaker, generating a Click and Pop noise.
For proper operation of Click and Pop elimination, the switch
terminal that is being connected to the speaker should be
3
connected through the shunt resistor before connecting to
the load. This allows any transients generated by the source
to be discharged through the shunt resistor first, eliminating
any audible click and pop noises. With a typical DC blocking
capacitor of 200µF and the shunt resistance having a typical
value of 140Ω, allowing a 250ms dead time in for
discharging a transient will eliminate the click and pop noise.
Applications
The ISL54065 is designed to be a Dual SPDT switch for
multiplexing or switching of signals that require low insertion
loss, low power consumption, and negative voltage swing
capability. Such applications include Audio/Video equipment,
battery or portable devices and medical equipment. In
addition, the Click and Pop Elimination Circuitry makes it
ideal for portable audio such as MP3 players and cell
phones.
