RX TX LED Config Header
This jumper header enables LED output on RX and TX.
With FT232H's default configuration, AC8 is the RX led output pin, AC9 is the TX led output pin.
Install a jumper on pin 1 and 3 enables RX LED. Install a jumper on pin 2 and 4 enables TX LED.
If AC8 and AC9 are configured for GPIO, you need to remove jumpers on this header.

For your convenience, we added this header. This header is inter connected to the DB9 connector. The pinout is different then the pinout of DB 9 connector, however the extra pin (PIN 10) is connected to on board 3.3V power. GND pin (PIN 9) and +3.3V PIN (PIN 10) are always enabled regardless the jumpers position of Serial RS232/TTL level Selection Jumper.

MAX3243 Auto Power Down Jumper
This jumper controls whether to always enable MAX3243 or let FT2232H automatically enables it (save power).
- Jumper on PIN 1 and PIN 2: Always enable MAX3243
- Jumper on PIN 2 and PIN 3: FT2232H (PWREN, PIN 60)controls when to enable or disable MAX3243.
Buffer Enable Jumper
This jumper controls whether to software enable/disable buffer chip (74LVC16T254).

Buffer Chip Power Selection Jumper
This jumper controls how to power the buffer / voltage translator chip (74LVC16T245)
The 74LVC16T245's Vcc(A) is connected to on board +3.3V. You can either power the Vcc(B) using on board +3.3V or powered by the target board. If powered by target board, please make sure the target board's power is in the range of +1.8V - +5.5V.
- Jumper on PIN 1 and PIN 2: Power the buffer chip 74LVC16T245's Vcc(B) via the on board +3.3V source.

Serial RS232/TTL level Selection Jumper
These jumpers allows you to have serial communication at either RS232 level or TTL level.
- Jumpers short top row (RS232-OUT) and middle row (SELECT) (this is the default): enable RS232 level serial output. (thus DB9 Connector and RS232 Level 2.54mm IDC Header are enabled)
- Jumpers short middle row (SELECT)and bottom row (TTL-OUT): enable TTL level serial output. (thus TTL Level Serial Connectoris enabled)
TTL Level Serial Connector
This connector is enabled only if RS232/TTL jumpers are on TTL-OUT, see Serial RS232/TTL level Selection Jumper

PWR/RX/TX LEDs
- PWR: indicates the TUMPA board is connected to USB port of the computer and on board voltage regulator outputs +3.3V.
- RX: Indicates FT2232H is receiving bytes from target via serial communication channel B
- TX: Indicates FT2232H is transmitting bytes to target via serial communication channel B
Target Board Power LED
- LED is ON: Target board (PIN 1 of JTAG Header) has power supply > 3.3V.
- LED is OFF: Target board (PIN 1 of JTAG Header) has power supply < 3.3V or no power.
The VTAR can also be detected by software. If VTAR has voltage > 3.3V, ACBUS4 (PIN 30) of FT2232H will be LOW. Otherwise it will be HIGH.
