Description
The ISL54205BEVAL1Z evaluation board is designed to
provide a quick and easy method for evaluating the
ISL54205B USB/Audio Switch IC.
The ISL54205B device is a unique IC. To use this evaluation
board properly requires a thorough knowledge of the
operation of the IC. Refer to the ISL54205B 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 ISL54205B 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 ISL54205B µTQFN IC is soldered onto the evaluation
board. It is located in the center of the board and is
designated as U1.
The ISL54205B IC has two modes of operation called Audio
mode and USB 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 two 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 an 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, and 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.
This application note will guide the user through the process
of configuring and using the evaluation board to evaluate the
ISL54205B device in both the Audio mode and the USB
mode.
Features
• Standard USB Connectors
• RCA Audio Input Jacks and Headphone Speaker Jack
• Convenient Test Points and Connections for Test
Equipment

Board Architecture/Layout
Basic Layout of Evaluation Board
The basic layout of the main board is as follows: Refer to
Figure 1.
Power and Ground connections are at the top of the board
(J10 and J11).
Audio Source Inputs are at the lower right side of the board
(J3, J4, J5 and J6). Audio outputs are at the lower left side of
the board (J7, J8, J9). Connector J7 is a standard
headphone jack for connecting a 32Ω headphone.
USB connection to an upstream host controller (Computer)
is made at connector J1, located on left underside of the
board. USB connection to a downstream USB device is
made at connector J2, located on right underside of the
board.
Located in the center of the board is the ISL54205B IC (U1).
The evaluation board has a pin 1 dot, to show how the IC
should be oriented on to the evaluation board. The IC pin 1
indicator dot needs to be aligned with the evaluation board
pin 1 dot indicator.
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 3.6V DC power supply for proper operation. The power
supply should be capable of delivering 100µA of current.

Application Note 1483
Logic Control
Note: When in USB mode, the audio source needs to be in a
high impedance state so it will not interfere with the USB
signal. Since the audio source inputs are AC-coupled on the
evaluation board, simply turning the audio source OFF will
isolate it from interfering with the USB signal.
The state of the ISL54205B device is determined by the
voltage at the VBUS pin and the CTRL pin. Access to the
CTRL pin is through the banana jack J12 (CTRL) and
access to the VBUS pin is through the USB J1 connector or
the banana jack J13 (VBUS).
Audio Outputs
If VBUS is floating (no USB host controller connected at the
J1 connector) and CTRL = High (J12 connected to J10), the
part will be in the Audio mode.
The evaluation board has a standard headphone jack
labeled HEADPHONE JACK (J7). A 32Ω stereo headphone
should be plugged into this jack.
If VBUS is floating (no USB host controller connected at the
J1 connector) and CTRL = Low or Floating, the part will be in
the Low Power mode. In Low Power mode all switches are
OPEN and the part will draw around 1nA of current.
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
the D+ line of the J1 (USB To DEVICE) connector. These
BNC connectors can be used to connect resistive loads
and/or test equipment to evaluate the performance of the IC.
If VBUS is greater than VDD by 0.8V (USB computer VBUS
line connected at the J1 USB connector), the part will be in
the USB mode. In a typical application, the VBUS voltage
from computer/host controller will be in the range of 4.4V to
5.25V and the VDD voltage to the ISL54205B part will be in
the range of 2.7V to 3.6V.
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.
USB Connections
A “B” type USB receptacle labeled USB TO HOST (J1) is
located on the left underside 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. When this connection is made, the
ISL54205B device will sense the VBUS voltage from the host
controller and go into USB mode. The USB switches will be
turned ON.
In a typical application, the left and right outputs of a stereo
source (such as an MP3 player) would be connected to the
RCA jacks J3 and J4, respectively.
An “A” type USB receptacle labeled USB TO DEVICE (J2) is
located on the right underside of the board. The USB device
can be plugged directly into this receptacle or through a
standard USB cable.
Over a signal range of ±1V (0.707VRMS) the audio 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
32Ω headphone speaker load. A 3VP-P signal is acceptable
but performance will degrade.
In USB mode the USB host controller and USB device will
be connected through the internal USB switches of the IC.
Unlike the audio switches, the USB switches are
bi-directional, which allow the host (computer) and
downstream USB device to both send and receive data.
The audio channels are AC-coupled with 100µF capacitors.
These capacitors 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 internal AC coupling capacitors at the output of
its drivers, then the capacitors on the evaluation board
should be shorted out (replaced with 0Ω 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.
The audio switches are not bi-directional. The audio source
needs to be connected at J3 or J5 and J4 or J6. Do not try to
apply an audio source at the J8 and J9 BNC connectors on
the left side of the board and loads at J3 through J6 on the
right side of the board.

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 ISL54205B 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.
The BNC connector J8 (COM-) is in parallel with the D- line of
the J1 USB connector. The BNC connector J9 (COM+) is in
parallel with the D+ line of the J1 USB connector. The BNC
connector J13 (VBUS) is in parallel with the VBUS line of the J1
USB connector.

Using the Board (Refer to Figure 2)
The BNC connector J14 (D-) is in parallel with the D- line of the
J2 USB connector. The BNC connector J15 (D+) is in parallel
with the D+ line of the J2 USB connector. If you want to use the
J14 and J15 BNC connectors, you must populate R1 and R2
with 0Ω resistors. These BNC connectors can be used to
connect test equipment to evaluate the performance of the IC.
