6. You can observe the D- and D+ USB digital signals on an 

oscilloscope or other test equipment by connecting to the 
J8, J14, J9 and J15 BNC connectors or various test 
points located on the board (see Test Points page 5).

7. Remove the 0 

Ω

 resistors R1, R2, R3, R4 when 

evaluating the signal quality (i.e. eye diagram, etc.) of the 
high speed USB signal. Removal of these resistors 
disconnects the headphone jack (J7) and BNC 
connectors (J8, J9, J14, J15) from the USB differential 
lines. These components when connected will degrade 
the USB signal. These components will not be there in an 
actual application.

If you disconnect the USB cable from J1 and take the IN pin 
LOW, the IC will return to Audio mode. You can now plug the 
headphone set into headphone jack, turn the audio source 
ON to once again play music.

Test Points

The board has various test points for ease of connecting 
probes to make measurements. The test points available are 
described in Table 2.
