1 Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of an Elevate Semiconductor ATE ISL55180 EVM evaluation system.

You will find that it serves as an invaluable development platform to help get your product to market in the

shortest possible time. The ISL55180 EVM and Graphical User Interface (GUI) allow the customer to

demonstrate and evaluate the ISL55180 performance and functionality.

This document provides the instructions to install, setup, and operate the ISL55180 EVM. Refer to the

Elevate Semiconductor EVM User’s Guide for a detailed description of the EVM system.

1.2 Recommended Test and Measurement Setup

1.2.1 Power Supply

Table 2 provides the required power supplies and current rating. The power supplies are connected

using standard banana plugs. The customer needs to provide the power supply cables.

It is recommended to use a triple supply to control the EVM supplies. This allows the 3 EVM supplies to

be turned on at the same time. However, if this is not feasible, then the supplies should be enabled in the

following sequence. Power down should be performed in the reverse order.

1. +20V

2. -15V

3. +5V

The ISL55180 VCCO and VEE are gated using an Opto-FET switch on the loadboard so it is safe to set

and enable the ISL55180 supplies before powering up the EVM and running the software.

Table 2: Power Supply Requirements

Notes:

1) The EVM +5V could also be used as the ISL55180 VCCO

2) Once the EVM operation is verified, the customer can adjust the VCCO, VEE supplies

3) Make sure the external supplies do not violate the ABS max section on the datasheet.

4) The VCCO and VEE current 2A requirements are required if all 8 channels are operating at

maximum current load. If using a sub-set of channels then a smaller (i.e. 1 Amp) supply could be

adequate. The program does not have the ability to measure the VCCO and VEE currents

1.2.2 PC Controller

To use the ISL55180 EVM User Interface Program (UIP), a PC with the following configuration is

required:

Win98, Win2000, WinNT 4.0+, or Win XP

Parallel/Printer Port – 25-pin female connector (a parallel port cable is provided)
