Integrated USB 2.0 Compatible 4-Port Hub

Datasheet

5.1.1.19Self-powered Hub Controller Current

When in Self-Powered configuration, Maximum current requirements of the Hub Controller in 2mA increments.

This field is set by the OEM using either the SMBus or EEPROM interface options.

5.1.1.20Bus-Powered Hub Controller Current

When in Bus-Powered configuration, Maximum current requirements of the Hub Controller in 2mA increments.

This field is set by the OEM using either the SMBus or EEPROM interface options.

5.1.1.21Power-On Timer

Time (in 2ms intervals) from the time power-on sequence begins on a port until power is good on that port. System software uses this value to determine how long to wait before accessing a powered-on port.

This field is set by the OEM using either the SMBus or EEPROM interface options.

5.1.1.22Power Switching Polarity

The selection of active state “polarity” for the PRTPWR[4:1] pins is made by a strapping option only.

5.1.2VBus Detect

According to Section 7.2.1 of the USB 2.0 Specification, a downstream port can never provide power to its D+ or D- pull-up resistors unless the upstream port’s VBUS is in the asserted (powered) state. The VBUS_DET pin on the Hub monitors the state of the upstream VBUS signal and will not pull-up the D+ or D- resistor if VBUS is not active. If VBUS goes from an active to an inactive state (Not Powered), Hub will remove power from the D+ or D- pull-up resistor within 10 seconds.

5.2EEPROM Interface

The SMSC Hub can be configured via a 2-wire (I2C) EEPROM. (Please see Table 4.1, "7-Port Hub Pin Descriptions" for specific details on how to enable the I2C EEPROM option).

The Internal state-machine will, (when configured for EEPROM support) read the external EEPROM for configuration data. The hub will then “attach” to the upstream USB host.

Please see Table 5.1 User-Defined Descriptor Data for a list of data fields available.

5.2.1I2C EEPROM

The I2C EEPROM interface implements a subset of the I2C Master Specification (Please refer to the Philips Semiconductor Standard I2C-Bus Specification for details on I2C bus protocols). The Hub’s I2C EEPROM interface is designed to attach to a single “dedicated” I2C EEPROM, and it conforms to the Standard-mode I2C Specification (100kbit/s transfer rate and 7-bit addressing) for protocol and electrical compatibility.

Note: Extensions to the I2C Specification are not supported.

The Hub acts as the master and generates the serial clock SCL, controls the bus access (determines which device acts as the transmitter and which device acts as the receiver), and generates the START and STOP conditions.
