Typical Hardware Connections

To set up the BUF16821EVM-USB hardware, connect the two PCBs of the EVM together (that is, the
BUF16821 Test Board and USB_DIG_Platform board) via a 25-pin DSUB connector, and apply a power
source. The external connections may be the real-world system that the BUF16821 will be incorporated
into.

illustrates the typical hardware connections.
