9. Configuration selections

The ISP1520 is configured through I/O pins and, optionally, through an external

I2C-bus, in which case the hub can update its configurationdescr iptors as a master or

as a slave.

Tab le 3 shows the configuration parameters.

[1] Multiple ganged power mode is reported as individual power mode; refer to the USB 2.0 specification.
[2] When the hub uses the global overcurrent protection mode, the overcurrentindication is through the wHubStatus field bit 1 (overcurrent)
and the corresponding change bit (overcurrent change).

9.1 Configuration through I/O pins

9.1.1 Number of downstream facing ports

To discount a physical downstream facing port, connect pins DP and DM of that

downstream facing port to VCC (3.3 V) starting from the highest port number (4).

The sum of physical ports configured is reflected in the bNbrPorts field.
