BUF08832EVM Hardware Overview

Table 3

summarizes the function of the USB DIG Platform jumpers. For most applications, the default

jumper position should be used. A separate document (

SBOU058

gives details regarding the operation

and design of the USB DIG Platform.

Table 3. USB_DIG_Platform Jumper Functions

Jumper

Default

Purpose

This jumper selects external power or bus power.
External power is applied on J5 or T3 (9V dc). Bus

JUMP1

EXT

power is 5V from the USB bus. External power is
typically used because the USB Bus power is noisy.

JUMP2

EXT

Same as JUMP1.

This jumper determines where the TUSB3210 will
load the USB DIG Platform firmware upon power-up

JUMP3

EE ON

or reset. The EE Off position is used for
development for development or firmware update.

This jumper sets the address for the USB board.

JUMP4, JUMP5

L, L

The only reason to change from the default setting
is if multiple boards are being used.

This jumper selects the voltage of the device under
test supply (V

DUT

= 5V or 3V). This jumper is

JUMP9

5V

typically the only jumper that is changed for most
applications.

JUMP10

WP ON

This write protects the firmware EEPROM.

JUMP11

WP ON

This write protects the calibration EEPROM

Uses the regulator output to generate the V

DUT

JUMP13

REG

supply. The USB bus can be used as the V

DUT

supply.

Uses the external power (9V as opposed to the

JUMP14

9V

bus)

While in the BUS position V

DUT

operation is normal.

While in the Vraw position the V

DUT

supply is

JUMP17

BUS

connected to an external source. This configuration
allows for any value of V

DUT

between 3V and 5V.

(1)

Connects the pull-up on GPIO to the V

DUT

supply or

JUMP18

V

DUT

the V

CC

supply.

(1)

CAUTION: Adjusting outside of this range will damage the EVM.
