4 Schematic and Layout
The TRS3232RGTEVM has simple connections to all necessary pins of the TRS3232 transceiver device, and
jumpers where necessary to provide flexibility for device. The TRS3232RGTEVM provides test points for all
RS-232 (TX1, RTS1, RX1, CTS1) and logic (TX2, RTS2, RX2, CTS2) communication lines. Additionally test
points of GND, VCC, and charge pump output voltage are available for probing and evaluation.

The female DB9 port (
) provides access to the TRS3232RGT device through a standard RS-232
pinout. The TRS3232RGT female port is DCE to mate with a computer's male DTE port. The pin names are
counterintuitive on the DCE side. For example the RX pin on EVM is connected to a driver and TX connects to a
receiver. The pin connection is listed in
. The reason pins 4 and 6 are shorted together by a 0 Ω resistor
is to loopback the unused handshaking lines.
