Description
The ISL3333EVAL1Z evaluation board is RoHS compliant,
and provides a quick and easy method for evaluating this
two-port Dual Protocol IC. The evaluation board also
accommodates the ISL3331; see the “ISL3331EVAL1Z
User’s Manual” for details.
This board was designed to allow the user to evaluate all the
features available on the ISL3332 and ISL3333 products.
The ISL3333 is the full featured version (see “Key Features”
in next section), where the QFN package’s increased pin
count gives the user access to functionality not available on
the pin limited ISL3332. The same die is used in both
products, so other than minor package effects, evaluating
the QFN packaged ISL3333 is a reasonable substitute for
evaluating the ISL3332.
By changing jumper positions the user can quickly set the
board to evaluate any of the ISL3333’s many modes and
features, and the input states can also be set via jumpers.
Refer to the ISL3333 data sheet for complete details
regarding the functions and features of this device. These
dual protocol ICs feature many modes. However, studying
the device’s truth table along with its operating circuits and
detailed description is the best way to gain an understanding
of how the part works.
Key Features

Important Notes
To facilitate locating jumpers on this board, Figure 3 is a
jumper locator and, in this Application Note, the
a jumper mention corresponds to the red jumper number on
the locator. See “Jumper Definitions” on page 7 for a
description of the function of each jumper.

ISL3333EVAL1Z User’s Manual
The base board is used to evaluate both the ISL3333 (2-port)
and ISL3331 (1-port) products, so the jumper and connector
names reflect the functionality of both products. Due to space
limitations some jumper labels are abbreviated, but the
corresponding BNC connector has the full label.
In most cases, a name that applies to both products contains
no parenthesis (e.g., “B1”), and a name that applies to only
the ISL3333 is followed by “(NC)” (e.g., “B2 (NC)”).
It is important to note that the ISL333x do not follow the
RS-485 convention whereby the inverting I/O is labeled
“B/Z”, and the non-inverting I/O is “A/Y”. Thus, the ISL3332
and ISL3333 A/Y (B/Z) pins connect to the B/Z (A/Y) pins of
generic RS-485/422 ICs.
Input signals that connect to a BNC connector, because they
are likely to be driven by a generator, include a 50Ω
termination resistor to GND when the jumper is in the “LOW”
position.
Port 1 includes no Rx input nor Tx output termination
resistors, as this port is intended for RS-232 evaluation.
Port 2, intended for RS-485/422 evaluation, includes 120Ω
differential termination resistors across the Rx inputs, and
across the Tx outputs.
Default Configuration
As delivered (see “Functional Diagram (Default
Configuration)” on page 2), the board is configured for Port 1
in RS-232 mode with Tx and Rx enabled, Rx inputs floating,
and Tx inputs low. Port 2 is in RS-485 mode with Tx and Rx
enabled, Tx set for high speed (20Mbps) operation, driver
input (DY) low, Rx inputs floating but shorted together
through a 120Ω termination resistor. Additionally, the
ISL3333 is powered-up (i.e., not SHDN), has internal
loopback disabled, and has V
