It is recommended to reserve test points for debugging and firmware upgrade in your design. The
following figure shows a reference circuit of USB interface.

A common mode choke L1 is recommended to be added in series between the module and your MCU to
suppress EMI spurious transmission. Meanwhile, the 0
Ω resistors (R3 and R4 ) should be added in
series between the module and the test points so as to facilitate debugging, and the resistors are not
mounted by default. To ensure the signal integrity of USB data lines, L1, R3 and R4 must be placed close
to the module, and resistors R3 and R4 should be placed close to each other. The extra stubs of trace
must be as short as possible.
When designing the USB interface, you should follow the following principles to meet USB 2.0
specification.
⚫
Route the USB signal traces as differential pairs with ground surrounded. The impedance of USB
differential trace is 90
Ω.
⚫
Do not route signal traces under crystals, oscillators, magnetic devices and RF signal traces. Route
the USB differential traces in inner-layer of the PCB, and surround the traces with ground on that
