Description
Features
The ISL6298EVAL1 provides a complete platform for the
evaluation of the ISL6298-2CR3. The on-board 9-bit DIP
switch facilitates programming charging current, setting EN
input, temperature monitoring status, and so on. The four
jumpers can set up input source selection, USB mode
selection, and can be used to make other necessary
connections.
• 9-bit DIP switch for conveniently setting up charging
current, battery thermal status, EN input, and so on
Assembled in the center square, the components constitute
a complete charger solution, demonstrating the space
saving advantage of the ISL6298 in limited space
applications.
LEDs connected to FAULT and STATUS pins will indicate
the normal charging status or fault condition.
On-board jumpers and a DIP switch accommodate different
operation conditions for the charger.

Quick Setup Guide
POSITION
USB TO VIN
JP1 - Selects the VIN pin to be connected to either wall
adapter, or to USB connector. If J1 connector is being used,
a shunt must be installed across ‘WALL CUBE TO VIN’, or if
J3 (USB) connector is being used a shunt must be installed
across ‘USB TO VIN’. J1, J3 and JP1 can be ignored if
power supply is connected directly to VIN test point, which is
directly connected to VIN pin of the IC. A current meter can
replace the shunt mentioned above, so as to measure the
input current.
JP2 - Can connect the VBAT pin to the battery. If the J2
connector is being used, a shunt must be installed across
JP2. In this case, a current meter can also replace the shunt
to measure the VBAT current.
JP3 - Can connect the TEMP pin to the battery. Usually no
shunt is needed for JP3, as the Eval board can simulate
various battery thermal conditions. Only when a battery
attached with a thermistor is applied on J2 does it become
necessary to install a shunt across JP3, and at the same
time bit 7, 8, 9 on the DIP switch all need to be turned off.
JP4 - Selects USB modes: a shunt across IREF and V2P8
will set USB 250mA mode, a shunt across IREF and GND
will set USB 100mA mode. When the charge current is
programmed by the resistors connected to IREF pin, no
shunt should be installed on JP4.
