Supporting Onboard USB Devices
When you implement a USB device directly on your carrier board, you can connect the device
to a USB Host port from the sbRIO-9651 SOM. For this case, use the following design
guidelines:
•
You can connect the USB data pair directly to a USB device on your carrier board.
•
A current limiter is not required.
•
Use the CARRIER_RST# signal to reset the USB device when the sbRIO-9651 SOM is in
reset.
•
Tie the USBx_VBUS signal to 3.3 V or 5 V.
USB Routing Considerations
NI recommends the following design practices for properly routing USB signals on your carrier
board:
•
Route the USBx_DP and USBx_DN signals as differential pairs with 90 Ω differential
impedance.
•
Length-match the positive and negative signal for each USB data pair to within 10 mils.
•
Limit the USBx_DP and USBx_DN trace lengths on the carrier board to 8.0 in. or less,
which is the length at which USB compliance was tested.
UART/Console Out (Serial1)
The sbRIO-9651 SOM provides a dedicated UART (Serial1) interface for use on a carrier board.
This interface also functions as an operating system console when Console Out is enabled. Refer

Serial1 Signal Definitions
Table 1-10 describes the Serial1 port pins and signals on the sbRIO-9651 SOM connector.
The NI-Serial driver has been developed for and tested with the Texas
Note
Instruments TRS3253EIRSMR RS-232 transceiver. Other transceivers may be
compatible.
