ISL9492 Quick Start Guide
1. Install the ISL9492 Evaluation Board Installer from
Intersil’s website ISL9492_eval_installer_1_0.exe. This
program allows the USB bus to talk to Intersil's I2C
evaluation board, which communicates to the ISL9492
LNB board.
2. Install the ISL9492 USB I2C Driver Installer islusbi2c_driver_installer_1_0.exe. This program provides
the GUI (graphical user interface) to control the various
commands on the ISL9492 via I2C.
3. After installing program, go to 'start' menu in Windows, 'all
programs', 'Intersil', 'ISL9492', and select 'ISL9492 Eval'.
The screen should look similar to Figure 1.
FIGURE 1. CONTROL SOFTWARE WINDOW
4. Go to Device Select and choose ISL9492 from the
dropdown menu. The screen should look like Figure 2.

5. Apply a +12V supply to VCC and GND to the Return post on the
ISL9492QFNEVAL1 evaluation board. Connect a USB
connector and one end of the 4-wire connector to the I2C
daughter board. The other end of the 4-wire connector goes to
the ISL9492QFNEVAL1 evaluation board, jumper J1 as shown
in Figure 3.
6. Choose 'Open Device' from the GUI. The "USB Attach" and
"USB Device Handle" buttons should have turned green
indicating that the GUI is communicating with the
ISL9492QFNEVAL1 evaluation board.

7. The green trace in Figure 5 shows the soft-start time of VLNB
to be approximately 24ms after the EN and DLIN bits in
register 4 were toggled high. For a comprehensive description
of system registers and I2C commands, please refer to the
ISL9492 datasheet.
Figure 6 shows the 22kHz tone on VLNB output at 13.3V from
12VIN with 700mA of resistive load current after ENT and TTH
bits in register 2 are toggled high. Use of active load during this
test is not recommended due to high input capacitance, which
could potentially distort the output tone signal.

It is highly recommended to connect GND of C1, C6, C14, C2,
C15, pins 8 and 9 in a tight formation on the top layer as shown
in red circles in Figure 7 and needs to be returned back to the
input power supply GND post, which is on the bottom left of
ISL9492 board . The ground side of the components in green
circles along with the epad can be dropped to the internal ground
plane which connects to the top ground plane with 8-10 vias near
C1 to form a star ground connection.

Layout Guidelines
Since the ISL9492 has an integrated high power boost, careful
attention has to be paid to the layout which are outlined as
follows for a 4-layer and a 2-layer board:
1. Boost input capacitor (C1, C6), output boost capacitors (C2,
C15), inductor (L1), Schottky diode D1 should be placed
together in a nice tight layout. The ground connection of C1,
C2, C15, C6, ISL9492 pins 8, 9 and C14 should go directly to
the GND input supply as shown in Figure 9.
5. The bottom layer is used to connect output power post to D3,
which connects back to C2 (see Figure 12).
6. C1, C2, C15, C6 and pins 8 and 9 are in a tight configuration
with GNDs connected to input power post GND. All other
components going to GND are dropped directly to the second
GND plane. The second layer is connected to the top GND
layer right next to C1 ground connection as shown in
Figures 13 and 14.
2. C3, C16 and C10 ground connection is returned directly to
pin 25, LDO-SGND (see Figure 9). Ground connection of L4,
C18, C8, C4, and pin 20, are dropped directly to an internal
ground island (see Figure 10). This layer is connected to the
ground plane at C1 ground connection.
3. D4 is connected directly across pins 23 and 25. D2 and VLNB
return post are returned back to the internal ground island as
described in point 2.
4. ISL9492's EPAD is connected to an internal ground plane.
This ground plane is connected to the top layer with multiple
vias right under C1 and C2 ground connection (see Figure 11).
