TRS3122EEVM User's Guide
Abstract
This user's guide describes the functional operation of the TRS3122EEVM Evaluation Module (EVM) for
use as a design reference as well as a general engineering demonstration for the TRS3122E RS-232
Transceiver. Included in this User's Guide are setup instructions, features, a schematic diagram, an
example layout, layout guidelines, and a bill of materials.
Introduction
The TRS3122EEVM is an evaluation module for the TRS3122E device, a 1.8-V high-speed RS-232
transceiver. The module enables device evaluation using the installed DB9 connector and terminal block.
The board interfaces data and control CMOS logic levels on the terminal block to RS-232 levels
supporting data [RX, TX] channels and flow control [RTS, CTS] channels on the DB9 connector.

Setup
The VCC screw terminal point needs to be supplied with external power; 1.8 V or 3.3 V is recommended.
The VL screw terminal point needs to be supplied with external power; 1.8 V to VCC is recommended.
The GND screw terminal point is the ground connection for the TRS3122EEVM.
The DB9 connector mates with a personal computer's RS-232 port or a USB to RS-232 adapter. For initial
testing, external wires can be added to screw terminals; CTS2 to RTS2 and TX2 to RX2 to loop back the
signal.
The ideal usage involves connecting the terminal block data and control lines to a system that has an
UART (Universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter) onboard.
The EVM has pull up resistors on the TRS3122E FORCEOFF and FORCEON pins to keep both driver
and receiver active. If desired, these signal can be driven by the external system to fully control all the
features of auto-powerdown plus circuitry. The system may also benefit from monitoring the INVALID
output to detect if an active connection has been made to the RS-232 port.
Usage at 5 V
The capacitors installed on the TRS3122EEVM were selected for VCC = 1.8 V and VCC = 3.3 V
operation. It is required to change some of the onboard capacitors for 5 V testing.

Connector/Test Points
DB9 Connector
DB9 Connector Pinout
The female DB9 port provides access to the TRS3122E device through a standard RS-232 pinout. The
TRS3122E female port is DCE to mate with a computer's male DTE port. The pin names are
counterintuitive on the DCE side. For example the RX pin on EVM is connected to a driver and TX
connects to a receiver.
• Pins 1 and 9 are not connected.
• Pins 2, 3, 7, 8 provide access to the RS-232 communication lines RX1, TX1, RTS1, CTS1 respectively.
• Pins 4 and 6 are shorted together by a 0 Ω resistor to loopback the unused handshaking lines.
• Pin 5 is grounded.
Screw Terminal Connector
Screw Terminal Connector Pinout
The screw terminal port provides access to the TRS3122E device communication pins as well as control,
output, and power pins. Note that pins are numbered from left to right in the description below.
• Pins 1 through 4 provide access to the logic communication lines CTS2, RX2, RTS2, and TX2
respectively.
• Pin 5 connects to the INVALID pin, which has the function described by the INVALID Pin Function
Table.
