FUNCTION

 

 

 

 

Port [2:1] Green

LED_A[2:1]_N/

I/O12

Green indicator LED for ports 2 and 1. Will be active low

LED

NON_REM[1:0]

 

when LED support is enabled via EEPROM or SMBus.

&

 

 

 

 

 

If the hub is configured by the internal default configuration,

Port Non-

 

 

Removable

 

 

these pins will be sampled at RESET_N negation to

 

 

determine if ports [3:1] contain permanently attached (non-

strapping option

 

 

 

 

removable) devices. Also, the active state of the LED's will

 

 

 

 

 

 

be determined as follows:

 

 

 

NON_REM[1:0] = '00', All ports are removable,

 

 

 

LED_A2_N is active high,

 

 

 

LED_A1_N is active high.

 

 

 

NON_REM[1:0] = '01', Port 1 is non-removable,

 

 

 

LED_A2_N is active high,

 

 

 

LED_A1_N is active low.

 

 

 

NON_REM[1:0] = '10', Ports 1 & 2 are non-removable,

 

 

 

LED_A2_N is active low,

 

 

 

LED_A1_N is active high.

 

 

 

NON_REM[1:0] = '11', Ports 1, 2, & 3 are non-removable,

 

 

 

LED_A2_N is active low,

 

 

 

LED_A1_N is active low.

 

 

 

 

Enhanced Port

LED_B[4:1]_N

I/O12

These 4 pins in conjunction with the LED_A[4:1]_N pins

LED Indicators

 

 

provides a total of 8 LED pins which are used to indicate

 

 

 

upstream host ownership of the downstream ports.

 

 

 

2 operational modes are available

 

 

 

Single Color LED Mode: LED will light to show which host

 

 

 

owns each of the downstream ports. If a port is

 

 

 

“unassigned” then neither LED for that port will light up.

 

 

 

Dual Color LED’s: (note; 4 possible states are displayed to

 

 

 

the user, Green, Red, Orange and Off).

 

 

 

 

Port Power

PRTPWR_POL

I/O

Port Power Polarity strapping determination for the active

Polarity strapping

 

 

signal polarity of the PRTPWR[4:1] pins.

 

 

 

While RESET_N is asserted, the logic state of this pin will

 

 

 

(through the use of internal combinatorial logic) determine

 

 

 

the active state of the PRTPWR[4:1] pins in order to ensure

 

 

 

that downstream port power is not inadvertently enabled to

 

 

 

inactive ports during a hardware reset.

 

 

 

When RESET_N is negated, the logic value will be latched

 

 

 

internally, and will retain the active signal polarity for the

 

 

 

PRTPWR[4:1] pins.

 

 

 

‘1’ = PRTPWR[4:1] pins have active ‘high’ polarity

 

 

 

‘0’ = PRTPWR[4:1] pins have active ‘low’ polarity

 

 

 

Warning: Active Low port power controllers may glitch

 

 

 

the downstream port power when system power is first

 

 

 

applied. Care should be taken when designing with

 

 

 

active low components!

 

 

 

 

Over Current

OCS[4:1]_N

IPU

Input from external current monitor indicating an over-

Sense

 

 

current condition. {Note: Contains internal pull-up to 3.3V

 

 

 

supply}

 

 

 

 

USB Transceiver

RBIAS

I-R

A 12.0kΩ (+/− 1%) resistor is attached from ground to this

Bias

 

 

pin to set the transceiver’s internal bias settings.
