ISL9520EVAL1Z Evaluation Board Setup Procedure
The ISL9520 is a highly integrated Narrow VDC
regulator/battery charger controller for Li-ion/Li-ion polymer
batteries. It has an SMBus interface and provides gate drive to
external switching N-channel FETs that control system voltage,
charge current limit, and input current limit. The
ISL9520EVAL1Z evaluation board includes a USB to SMBus
interface to allow users to control the ISL9520 from a personal
computer.
What’s Needed
The following materials are recommended to perform testing
(Figure 1):
• One adjustable 25V/6A power supply
• Two adjustable electronic loads with selectable constant
current mode and constant voltage mode
• One volt meter
What’s Inside
• One 500MHz four-channel oscilloscope with voltage and
current probes
The ISL9520EVAL1Z Evaluation Board Kit contains the
following materials:
• A personal computer (PC) loaded with ISL9520 control
software and drivers
• Qty (1) ISL9520EVAL1Z Evaluation Board
• Qty (1) USB cable

Application Note 1826
Install the Software
Download and install the ISL9520 control software by following
the instructions provided in the “ISL9520 Software Installation
Guide”. This document also contains troubleshooting instructions
to be used in the rare event that the software does not install on
the first attempt.
Run the ISL9520 Application
Plug the USB cable up, one end to the computer and the other
end to the evaluation board. No other connections are required to
read and write to the registers.
The ISL9520 evaluation software should be available in your
computer’s Start → All Programs list. The “Intersil” folder will
contain the program. Click the program name ISL9520 Control
C1 to run the application.
Figure 2 shows the DAC Controls tab of the ISL9520 user
interface. Initially, the software will indicate “FFFF” for the
register values. Click the Read All icon to read the actual initial
values in the registers.
Charge Current, Input Current, Max System Voltage, and
Min System Voltage can be edited by clicking on the up/down
arrows or by placing the cursor at the desired location and typing
the correction. If the sense resistor shunts RS1 or RS2 have been
changed on the board then the sense resistor values in the blue
boxes should also be changed accordingly so that correct binary
values are sent. The eggshell colored boxes are the digital values
sent and read.
The white WRITE ALL 1/min box should be checked if a
continuous test is desired, otherwise the SMBus Inactivity
Time-out timer will shut down charging after 3 minutes.

FIGURE 3. ISL9520 CONTROL REGISTER TAB
Figure 3 shows (ISL9520 Control Register tab) the control
register 3D described in the data sheet and the bits that may be
toggled by clicking on the individual bit switches. The
configuration will be written when the Write CONTROL REG icon
is clicked. The configuration is read when the READ ALL icon is
clicked.
The Test Register should be written with “0600” to optimize the
mode boundary transitions. To do this, place the cursor to the
right of the first zero in the blue box, type a “6”, then hit the
delete key once. Click on the Write test register icon, then click
on the Read TEST REG icon to verify that the register has been
updated.

FIGURE 4. ISL9520 CONTROL REGISTER TAB AFTER EDITING TEST REGISTER
Figure 4 shows the updated Control Register tab. The VendorID
(reg FE) and DeviceID (reg FF) should display 0049 and 0005
respectively.
If the power connections have not already been made, they can
be made at this time. Figure 1 shows the required power
connections.
