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 (7); see
Tab le 4.
The sum of physical ports configured is reflected in the bNbrPorts field.
9.1.2 Power switching
Powerswitching of downstream ports can be done individually or ganged, where all
ports are simultaneously switched with one power switch.The ISP1521 suppor ts both
modes, which can be selected using input PSWn_N; see Tab le 5.
Voltage drop requirements:Self-powered hubs are required to provide a minimum
of 4.75 V to its output port connectors at all legal load conditions. To comply with
Underwriters Laboratory Inc. (UL) safety requirements, the power from any port must
be limited to 25 W (5 A at 5 V). Overcurrent protection may be implemented on a
global or individual basis.
Assuming a 5 V ±3 % power supply, the worst-case supply voltage is 4.85V. This
only allows a voltage drop of 100 mV across the hub Printed-Circuit Board (PCB) to
each downstream connector. This includes a voltage drop across the:
Power supply connector
Hub PCB (power and ground traces, ferrite beads)
Power switch (FET on-resistance)
Overcurrent sense device.
The PCB resistance and power supply connector resistance may cause a drop of
25 mV, leaving only 75mV as the voltage drop allowed across the power switch and
overcurrent sense device. The individual voltage drop components are shown in
Figure 5.
