4.10 UART

The AM263x LaunchPad uses the XDS110 as a USB2.0 to UART bridge for terminal access. UART0 transmit and receive signals of the AM263x SoC are mapped to the XDS110 with a dual channel isolation buffer (ISO7221DR) for translating from the 3.3V IO voltage supply to the 3.3V XDS supply. The XDS110 is connected to a micro-B USB connector for the USB 2.0 signals. ESD protection is provided to the USB 2.0 signals by a transient voltage suppression device (TPD4E004DRYR). The micro-B USB connector's VBUS 5V power is mapped to a low dropout regulator (TPS79601DRBR) to generate the 3.3V XDS110 supply. A separate 3.3V supply for the XDS110 allows for the emulator to maintain a connection when power to the LaunchPad is removed.

A separate UART instance is mapped directly to the BoosterPack header.
