Note
To simplify installation and prevent unnecessary Windows messages during installation, do
not connect the USB cable to the ISL98001 Evaluation Board until the software installation is
complete.
PC Requirements
Operating System: Tested under Windows XP (service pack 2) and Windows 2000. Windows 98 and
ME not currently supported.
Hardware Requirements: USB Port, CD-ROM drive for install files, minimum 10MB free hard disk
space.
Software Installation
Launch the “ISL98001 Installer.exe” file on the CD ROM and follow the instructions. The default
installation will add an “Intersil” directory to the “Start Menu/Programs” tree. That directory will contain
a shortcut to the ISL98001 executable and an uninstaller. The main program files will be installed in
the Program Files/ISL98001 directory. The USB driver file windrvr6.sys will be placed into
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers and ISL98001.inf will be installed under C:\WINDOWS\INF.
Press “Next” to continue.

Connecting the Evaluation Board
After installation of the ISL98001 software, re-boot the PC if requested. Apply power to the ISL98001
Evaluation Board with the provided 5V power supply. Connect the USB cable to the ISL98001
Evaluation Board. The Microsoft windows operating system will see the ISL98001 Evaluation Board
as a new device, and will try to load appropriate driver for it.
Windows XP may pop up this message:
If you see this box, select “Yes, now and every time I connect a device” and click on “Next”. If you
elect not to select “Yes, now and every time I connect a device”, you may see this requester
whenever the device is reconnected after being disconnected.

Hardware Setup
By default, the ISL98001 Evaluation board is configured for an input video resolution of
1280x1024@60Hz on the VGA1 connector. The quickest way to verify operation is this:
•Connect a monitor with a DVI input to the DVI output connector
•Connect a 1280x1024@60Hz RGB video source to VGA1
•Connect the 5V power supply to the power connector
At this point, the evaluation board’s FPGA will format the data from the ISL98001 and generate SXGA
video timing on the DVI output connector. The incoming SXGA image should appear on the DVI
monitor.
Additional video modes and AFE configuration options are available using the ISL98001 evaluation
software through the USB interface.

Click on the “Read All Registers” button in the lower left screen. All of the register values from the
ISL98001 on the evaluation board should appear as shown in the next image. If the register values

To change a register value, simply change the hexadecimal number in the appropriate box. To
change both digits of the 8 bit hex number, select both digits with the mouse (or double click inside
the text box) , then quickly type both digits of the desired value. If you type too
slowly (more than 1 second between the first and second digit), the first digit typed will become the
lower nibble, and the higher nibble will be 0. To only change one nibble using the keyboard, select
the high nibble or the low nibble and type the new hexadecimal
value.
You can also change the register values using the keyboard:
•Increment by 1: Up Arrow
•Decrement by 1: Down Arrow
•Increment by 16 (increment high nibble by 1): Page Up
•Decrement by 16 (decrement high nibble by 1): Page Up
