2 USB2ANY Interface Adapter
The AFE881H1EVM is controlled by a USB2ANY Interface Adapter. A PC runs the software that communicates
with the USB2ANY, which provides the power and digital signals used to communicate with the EVM board.
Connectors on the EVM board are used to connect the required external power supply.

C communications lines (I2C_SCL and I2C_SDA1) are not used. Both the
connectors and cables from the USB2ANY to the AFE881H1EVM are keyed to make sure the cable is correctly
connected.

RESET
Reset.
A logic low on this pin places the device into power-down mode and resets the device.
Logic high returns the device to normal operation.
Do not leave any digital input pins floating.
