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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
