ISL54227IRTZEVAL1Z Evaluation Board User Manual
Description
Key Features
The ISL54227IRTZEVAL1Z evaluation board is designed to
provide a quick and easy method for evaluating the ISL54227
USB Switch IC.
• Standard USB Connectors
The ISL54227 device is a unique IC. To use this evaluation
board properly, requires a thorough knowledge of the
operation of the IC. See the ISL54227 datasheet 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 datasheet is the best way to get a quick
understanding of how the part works.
• Banana Jacks for Power, Ground and Logic Input and Output
Connections
• Toggle Switches for Easy Control of the Logic Pins
• Convenient Test Points and Connections for Test Equipment
Board Architecture/Layout
Basic Layout of Evaluation Board
A picture of the evaluation board is shown in Figure 1. The
ISL54227 TDFN IC is soldered onto the evaluation board. It is
located in the center of the board and is designated as U1.
The basic layout of the evaluation board is as follows: Refer to
Figure 1 or the “ISL54227IRTZEVAL1Z Board Schematic” on
page 4.
The evaluation board contains USB connectors, banana jacks,
and toggle switches, to 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 you can control the logic pins with the toggle
switches, S1 (LP) and S2 (OE), to connect and disconnect the
USB device from the USB host (computer).
• Power and Ground connections are at banana jacks (J1 and
J2) located at the top of the board.
In a typical application, the ISL54227 dual SPST part is used
for switching or isolating a USB source in portable powered
products.
This application note will guide the user through configuring
and using the evaluation board to evaluate the ISL54227
device.

• Logic input connections, OE and LP, are at banana jacks
(J3 and J4) located at the top left side of the board or by
using the toggle switches S1 and S2. Jumpers JP1 and JP2
must be installed to use the toggle switches. To control the
logic through the banana jacks (J3 and J4) the JP1 and JP2
jumpers must not be populated.
• Logic output connections, INT and ALM, are at the top right
side of the board at banana jacks (J5 and J6).
• USB connection to an upstream host controller (Computer)
is made at the USB connector J7, located at the left side of
the board.
• USB connection to the downstream USB device is made at
USB connector J8, located on right side of the board.
• The ISL54227 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 ISL54227 IC. The IC requires a
2.7VDC to 5.25VDC power supply for proper operation. The
power supply should be capable of delivering 500µA of current.

The state of the ISL54227 device is determined by the voltage
at the LP pin and the OE pin. Access to the LP pin is through
the banana jack J4 (LP) or the toggle switch S1 (LP). Access to
the OE pin is through the banana jack J3 (OE) or the toggle
switch S2 (OE). To use the toggle switches to control the logic,
jumpers must be installed at JP1 and JP2. Remove jumpers to
control the logic through the banana jacks.
CAUTION: These devices are sensitive to electrostatic discharge; follow proper IC Handling Procedures.

Application Note 1721
If OE is driven “HIGH” (pulled up to VDD) and LP = “LOW”
(to ground) with the signal voltage in the range of 0V to 3.6V, the
SPST switches will be ON. The USB host controller (computer)
connected at J7 will be connected through to the USB device
connected at J8 and data will be transmitted between the
computer and the device.
The SPST switches were 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
to pass the USB high-speed signals with minimum edge and
phase distortion to meet USB 2.0 high-speed signal quality
specifications.
If OE is driven “LOW” (to ground) and LP = “LOW” (to ground) with
the signal voltage in the range of 0V to 3.6V, the SPST switches
will be OFF. The USB host controller (computer) connected at J7
(USB TO HOST) will be disconnected from the USB device
connected at J8 (USB TO DEVICE) and no data will be transferred.
The SPST 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.
If OE = “LOW” and LP = “HIGH” the switches will be OFF and the
part will be put in the low power state. In the low power state the
part draws only 5µA (typ) of IDD current.
If the signal at the host (computer side) of the switch is >3.8V
(typ) or ≤0.45V (typ) the ISL54227 IC will turn the switches OFF
and internally pull the ALM pin “LOW”.
INT and ALM OUTPUT
Access to the ISL54227 INT pin is at banana jack J5 (INT). During
normal USB transmission or an overvoltage (OVP) condition this
pin outputs a “HIGH”. The ISL54227 part internally pulls this pin
“LOW” when the COM pins have been tied together and the OE
pin is “LOW”. The purpose of the pin is to be monitored by a µP to
tell when a charger has been connected into the USB port. See
the ISL54227 datasheet page 10 for description of “Charger Port
Detection”.
The maximum normal operating signal range for the SPST
switches is from 0V to 3.6V. For normal operation, the signal
voltage should not be allowed to exceed this voltage range or go
below ground by more than -0.3V.
However, in the event that a positive voltage >3.8V (typ) to 5.25V,
such as the USB 5V, the VBUS voltage, gets shorted to one or both
of the COM+ and COM- pins or a negative voltage ≤0.5V (typ) to
-5V gets shorted to one or both of the COM pins, the ISL54227
has OVP circuitry to detect the overvoltage condition and open
the SPST switches to prevent damage to the USB down-stream
transceiver connected at the signal pins
(D+ and D-).
The OVP and power-off protection circuitry allows the COM pins
(COM-, COM+) 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 SPST switches are OFF and the fault
voltage is isolated from the other side of the switch.
Access to the ISL54227 ALM pin is at banana jack J6 (ALM).
During normal USB transmission this pin will output a “HIGH”.
The ALM pin gets internally pulled “LOW” whenever the part
senses an overvoltage condition. It can be monitored by a µP for
the “LOW” state to determine when an overvoltage condition has
occurred.
The ALM pin gets internally pulled “LOW” whenever the part
senses an overvoltage condition. It can be monitored by a µP for
the “LOW” state to determine when an overvoltage condition has
occurred.
USB Connections
Evaluation board components and their functions are shown in
Table 1.
A “B” type USB receptacle labeled “USB TO HOST” (J7) is located
at the right side of the board. This receptacle should be
connected, using a standard USB cable, to the upstream USB
host controller, which is usually a PC computer or hub.
An “A” type USB receptacle labeled “USB TO DEVICE” (J8) is
located on the right 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 two SPST switches 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 3.5Ω over the signal range of 0V to 400mV with a
rON flatness of 0.26Ω. The rON matching between the SPST
switches over this signal range is only 0.2Ω ensuring minimal
impact by the switches to USB high-speed signal transitions. As
the signal level increases, the rON switch resistance increases. At
signal level of 3.3V the switch resistance is nominally 6.8Ω.
