EVM WARNINGS AND RESTRICTIONS
It is important to operate this EVM within the specified input and output ranges described in
the EVM User’s Guide.
Exceeding the specified input range may cause unexpected operation and/or irreversible
damage to the EVM. If there are questions concerning the input range, please contact a TI
field representative prior to connecting the input power.
Applying loads outside of the specified output range may result in unintended operation and/or
possible permanent damage to the EVM. Please consult the EVM User’s Guide prior to
connecting any load to the EVM output. If there is uncertainty as to the load specification,
please contact a TI field representative.
During normal operation, some circuit components may have case temperatures greater than
60°C. The EVM is designed to operate properly with certain components above 60°C as long
as the input and output ranges are maintained. These components include but are not limited
to linear regulators, switching transistors, pass transistors, and current sense resistors. These
types of devices can be identified using the EVM schematic located in the EVM User’s Guide.
When placing measurement probes near these devices during operation, please be aware
that these devices may be very warm to the touch.

FCC Warning
This equipment is intended for use in a laboratory test environment only . It generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and has not been tested
for compliance with the limits of computing devices pursuant to subpart J of
part 15 of FCC rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection
against radio frequency interference. Operation of this equipment in other environments may cause interference with radio communications, in which case
the user at his own expense will be required to take whatever measures may
be required to correct this interference.
This user’s guide describes the setup and operation of the USB keyboard/hub
evaluation module (EVM). Information and instruction presented throughout
this document assumes user familiarity with universal serial bus (USB)
protocol and the use of common lab testing equipment.
Additional information about this EVM can be found at:
The USB keyboard/hub EVM is designed for use with a personal computer
running a USB-enabled operating system. The PC, with BIOS, chipsets, and
operating system, should be USB 1.1 or 2.0 specification-compliant. If the
BIOS is not compliant, the system may not boot when USB devices are
connected at power up, and the EVM may not function. Additionally, one or
more low- or full-speed USB devices are needed to plug into the downstream
ports of the USB keyboard/hub EVM to exercise the hub ports. A standard USB
cable is needed to connect the USB keyboard/hub EVM to a downstream port
of the PC or a USB hub tier.

Hardware Overview
The USB keyboard/hub EVM features the TUSB2136 and the TPS2149 made
by Texas Instruments. The EVM is a two-board set made up of a stand alone
two-port hub (edge #6436539) and a miniature QWERTY keyboard (edge
#6436540). Jumpers (0-Ω resistors) and jumper blocks provided on the EVM
are installed with the factory settings. The settings are described in T able 3–2.
Review all setting changes prior to powering the EVM. Improper settings could
result in damage to some of the EVM components. The factory settings allow

the EVM to operate using a 12-MHz crystal along with an I
EVM has also been configured to work only in bus-powered mode. The
firmware installed at the factory and stored in the EEPROM allows the EVM
to function as a two port keyboard hub. Users are responsible for developing
their own application firmware for the target hardware device.
C EEPROM. The
The EVM uses a TUSB2136, USB keyboard/hub controller, made by Texas
Instruments, to communicate with the host and the downstream devices. A
USB cable is needed to connect the root hub of the PC to the EVM type B
connector (J5). The downstream devices connect to the EVM via the J6 and
J7 connectors. These downstream devices are powered through the
TPS2149, a power management device that integrates an LDO and two power
switches into one small package. The LDO is used to provide power to the
TUSB2136. The USB specification requires that downstream ports remain off
until enumeration is complete. Together, the TUSB2136 and the TPS2149
ensure the hub meets this requirement. Two other connectors, J3 and J4,
allow easy connection to the TUSB2136 general-purpose I/O lines. These
lines are used to implement the keyboard function. The miniature QWERTY
keyboard plugs directly into J3 and J4 to implement a fully functional keyboard.
Jumpers, test points, and LEDs have been added for testing, troubleshooting
and debugging purposes. There are test points on the differential pair lines of
the upstream B-type connector and the two downstream A-type connectors.

device. An RS–232 port is available for monitoring 8052 MCU activity . The port
uses a one-to-one cable and not a null-modem cable.

Chapter 3
EVM Operation
Operation of the USB keyboard/hub EVM is summarized in this chapter.
The USB keyboard/hub EVM is designed to allow evaluation of the TUSB2136
and the TPS2149 device. T est 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 TUSB2136 and the TPS2149 devices, consult the
TUSB2136 and the TPS2149 data sheets (literature numbers SLLS442 and
SLVS401, respectively).
3.2Interfaces 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 from the upstream USB 5-V source through 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 Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) in this chapter).
3.3Power Supplies
The USB keyboard/hub EVM requires no external power supply for operation.
The EVM receives power via the upstream USB cable. The USB 5-V source
is limited by the USB specification to 500 mA max. 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) turns on whenever power is available
to the EVM (see Table 3–1).
3.4Light 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 T able 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.

3.5Jumpers and Test Points
Table 3–2 describes the jumpers J1 and J2, used to connect P3.0 and P3.1
to D6 and D7 respectively, which should only be done when P3.0/S0 and
P3.1/S1 are not set to GND for VID/PID selection (see the TUSB2136
keyboard hub controller data sheet, literature number SLLS442) via SW1–3
and SW1–4.
Table 3–2 also describes the various 0-Ω resistors used as jumpers. Test
points are located throughout the EVM. For location of these test points, see
the EVM Layout section of this user’s guide.
