3.3 Interfaces and Major Component Description
The following sections provide an overview of the different interfaces and circuits on the TMDS64DC01EVM and
TMDS243DC01EVM.
3.3.1 Breakout Board Section
The general purpose Breakout board connects each pin of the High Speed Expansion (HSE) connector to eight,
2x10 test headers with 0.1” spacing between each pin. Additionally, the board features a circuit prototype area
with standard 0.1” hole spacing.
Signals from the HSE connector are connected to the Breakout board or IO-Link section using FET switches.
The FET switches are controlled using the J11 Header. Connecting the control signal of all the MUXes to ground
routes all signals from the HSE connector to the Breakout board, whereas connecting the control signal to
VCC3V3_IO_HSE routes all signals from the Mux to the IO-Link section.
