  • Hi Kent,

    Yes, it is a must to short these pins. the TUSB211A does not carry the signal through the device. Instead, it can be placed over the USB2 traces and will passively boost USB2 HS signals as they pass under it. If these pins arent shorted per the layout example, the USB2 trace will break.

    Please let me know if you have any other questions.

    Thanks,

    Ryan
