 1/8" serial connector (0-5V serial)
Note: Unless otherwise specified, Roku recommends that all cable lengths be 10 Meters or less. The
customer may be able to use longer cables in specific cases, but the customer must test the cable to see if
it will work. Generally higher quality cables with lower capacitances can be run longer than cheaper
cables.

Power Connector

The power connector on our board is rated at 5V @ 3A. The plug to go into our connector is standard
5.5MM plug, center positive, with a 1.65MM center pin hole. The power is over voltage protected and
reverse polarity protected with two 5W 6V zener diodes. Note that we actually supply our board with
5.2V in order to meet the HDMI specification, but we will refer to this voltage in this document as 5V.

DB9 RS232 connector

RS232 connector is a male DB9. The HD2000 is a DTE device (like a PC). The input to our chip accepts
up to +25V and -25V, so it is compatible with standard +12 and -12 volt signaling. The output of our chip
is rated at +5.4V and -5.4V typical which exceeds the voltage required by the RS232 specification.
The baud rate is 115,200, No parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit. No hardware or software flow control.
Maximum cable length is 50 Meters, total cable capacitance 2500pF (using lower capacitance cable
allows longer than 50 Meters). The TX and RX signal will look like this:
