TPS2149 Setup
3.1 TPS2149 Setup
The USB keyboard/hub EVM is designed to allow evaluation of the TPS2149 device. Test points and 0-Ω resistors are provided to simplify the evaluation process (see Section 3.5). The EVM comes in a default configuration that requires no additional components, other than the required hardware and software identified in Section 1.1 of this user’s guide. For a complete description of the TPS2149 device, consult the TPS2149 data sheet (literature number SLVS401).
3.2 Interfaces and USB Ports
The EVM uses a standard Type-B connector for the upstream port and two single Type A connectors for the downstream ports. Power to the downstream ports is provided throught the TPS2149.
Two edge connectors, J3 and J4, connect to the TUSB2136 general-purpose I/O lines. Out of 32 general-purpose I/O lines, 26 are brought out to the J3 and J4 connectors. The remaining 6 I/O lines are used onboard to control the LEDs (see Section 3.4).
3.3 Power Supplies
The USB keyboard/hub EVM requires no external power supply for operation. The EVM receives power via the USB cable. The TPS2149 low-dropout regulator is used to generate the required 3.3-V supply from the USB 5-V supply. The power indicator LED (D1) will turn on whenever power is available to the EVM (see Table 3–1).
3.4 Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs)
Several onboard LEDs are provided on the EVM for quick and easy evaluation. A set of six green LEDs (D2 – D7), connected to P3.0 through P3.5 of the TUSB2136, may be used for general purposes in any code that is written for the TUSB2136 (see Table 3–1). By default, the factory code provides the EVM with the use of only three of the LEDs as keyboard status indicators for Scroll Lock (D2), Caps Lock (D3), and Num Lock (D4). The other three are not used.
Table 3–1. LED Description
LED | Description |
| |
D2–D7 | Green LED ON indicates corresponding GPIO pin is low (when D1 is ON). |
| Green LED OFF indicates corresponding GPIO pin is high (when D1 is ON). |
| |
D1 | Red LED ON indicates that the EVM is powered on and not suspended. |
| Red LED OFF indicates that the EVM is powered off or suspended. |
