Chapter 8 Configuration Options

8.1Hub

SMSC’s USB 2.0 hub is fully specification compliant to the Universal Serial Bus specification, version 2.0, April 27, 2000 (12/7/2000 and 5/28/2002 Errata). Please reference Chapter 10 (Hub specification) for general details regarding hub operation and functionality.

The hub provides 1 Transaction Translator (TT) that is shared by both downstream ports (defined as Single-TT configuration), The TT contains 4 non-periodic buffers.

8.1.1Hub Configuration Options

The SMSC hub supports a large number of features (some are mutually exclusive), and must be configured in order to correctly function when attached to a USB host controller. There are three principal ways to configure the hub: SMBus, EEPROM, or by internal default settings (with or without configuration option over-rides). In all cases, the configuration method will be determined by the CFG_SEL[2], CFG_SEL[1] and CFG_SEL[0] pins immediately after RESET_N negation. Please refer to Table 8.1, "Hub Configuration Options" for more information.
