UPSTREAM USB 2.0 INTERFACES

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

USBDM_UP

IO-U

USB Data

 

 

 

USBDP_UP

 

These pins connect to the upstream USB bus data signals (host, port, or

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

upstream hub).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

VBUS_DET

I/O12

Detect Upstream VBUS Power

 

 

 

 

 

Detects state of Upstream VBUS power. The SMSC hub monitors

 

 

 

 

VBUS_DET to determine when to assert the internal D+ pull-up resistor which

 

 

 

 

signals a connect event.

 

 

 

 

 

When designing a detachable hub, this pin should be connected to VBUS on

 

 

 

 

the upstream port via a 2 to 1 voltage divider.

 

 

 

 

 

For self-powered applications with a permanently attached host, this pin must

 

 

 

 

be connected to 3.3 V (typically VDD33).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

DOWNSTREAM USB 2.0 INTERFACES

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

USBDP_DN[x:1]/

IO-U

Hi-Speed USB Data

 

 

 

PRT_DIS_P[x:1]

 

These pins connect to the downstream USB peripheral devices attached to

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the hub’s port. To disable, pull up with a 10 K resistor to 3.3 V.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

USBDM_DN[x:1]/

 

Downstream Port Disable Strap Option

 

 

 

PRT_DIS_M[x:1]

 

If this strap is enabled by package and configuration settings (see Table 8.1,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Hub Configuration Options"), then this pin will be sampled at RESET_N

 

 

 

 

negation to determine if the port is disabled.

 

 

 

 

 

To disable a port, pull up both PRT_DIS_M[x:1] and PRT_DIS_P[x:1] pins

 

 

 

 

corresponding to the port numbers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PRTPWR[x:1] /

O12

USB Power Enable

 

 

 

 

 

Enables power to USB peripheral devices downstream.

 

 

 

 

 

When PRTPWR_POL pin is unavailable, the hub supports active high power

 

 

 

 

controllers only.

 

 

 

 

 

When PRTPWR_POL pin is available, the active signal level of the PRTPWR

 

 

 

 

pins is determined by the power polarity strapping function of the

 

 

 

 

PRTPWR_POL pin.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BC_EN[x]

IPD

Battery Charging Strap Option

 

 

 

 

 

*This feature is only available on USB251xB/Bi.

 

 

 

 

 

If this strap is enabled by package and configuration settings, (see Table 8.1,

 

 

 

 

"Hub Configuration Options"), this pin will be sampled at RESET_N negation

 

 

 

 

to determine if ports [x:1] support the battery charging protocol (and thus the

 

 

 

 

supporting external port power controllers) that would enable a device to draw

 

 

 

 

the currents per the USB battery charging specification.

 

 

 

 

 

BC_EN[x] = 1: Battery charging feature is supported for port x

 

 

 

 

 

BC_EN[x] = 0: Battery charging feature is not supported for

 

 

 

 

 

port x
