2.3.1 Uart-Over-USB [J4] With LED for Status [LD1]

Four UART ports of the TDA4VM are interfaced with UART-over-USB transceiver. When the EVM’s USB micro-B connector (J4) is connected to a Host-PC using supplied USB cable (Type-A to Micro-B), the computer can establish Virtual Com Port(s) which can be used with any terminal emulation application. Virtual Com Port drivers for the transceiver (CP2108-B02-GM) can be obtained from https://www.silabs.com/developers/usb-to-uart-bridge-vcp-drivers.

Once installed, the Host-PC will create four Virtual Com Ports. Depending on the other Host-PC resources available - the Virtual COM Ports not be located at COM1-4. However, they will remain in the same numerical order.

The circuit is powered through BUS power and therefore the COM connection not be lost when the EVM power is removed. An LED [LD1] is used to indicate an active COM connection with Host-PC.
