SELF_BUS_PWR

Self or Bus Power: Selects between Self- and Bus-Powered operation.

 

 

The Hub is either Self-Powered (draws less than 2mA of upstream bus power)

 

 

or Bus-Powered (limited to a 100mA maximum of upstream power prior to

 

 

being configured by the host controller).

 

 

When configured as a Bus-Powered device, the SMSC Hub consumes less

 

 

than 100mA of current prior to being configured. After configuration, the Bus-

 

 

Powered SMSC Hub (along with all associated hub circuitry, any embedded

 

 

devices if part of a compound device, and 100mA per externally available

 

 

downstream port) must consume no more than 500mA of upstream VBUS

 

 

current. The current consumption is system dependent, and the OEM must

 

 

ensure that the USB 2.0 specifications are not violated.

 

 

When configured as a Self-Powered device, <1mA of upstream VBUS current

 

 

is consumed and all ports are available, with each port being capable of

 

 

sourcing 500mA of current.

 

 

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

 

 

options.

 

 

Please see the description under Dynamic Power for the self/bus power

 

 

functionality when dynamic power switching is enabled.

 

 

0 = Bus-Powered operation.

 

 

1 = Self-Powered operation.

 

 

Note: If Dynamic Power Switching is enabled, this bit is ignored and the

 

 

SELF_PWR pin is used to determine if the hub is operating from self

 

 

or bus power.

Reserved

Reserved, always = ‘0’.

5

HS_DISABLE

High Speed Disable: Disables the capability to attach as either a High/Full-

 

 

speed device, and forces attachment as Full-speed only i.e. (no High-Speed

 

 

support).

 

 

0 = High-/Full-Speed.

 

 

1 = Full-Speed-Only (High-Speed disabled!)

4

MTT_ENABLE

Multi-TT enable: Enables one transaction translator per port operation.

 

 

Selects between a mode where only one transaction translator is available for

 

 

all ports (Single-TT), or each port gets a dedicated transaction translator (Multi-

 

 

TT) {Note: The host may force Single-TT mode only}. When using the internal

 

 

default option, the MTT_EN pin enables/disables MTT support.

 

 

0 = single TT for all ports.

 

 

1 = one TT per port (multiple TT’s supported)

3

EOP_DISABLE

EOP Disable: Disables EOP generation of EOF1 when in Full-Speed mode.

 

 

During FS operation only, this permits the Hub to send EOP if no downstream

 

 

traffic is detected at EOF1. See Section 11.3.1 of the USB 2.0 Specification for

 

 

additional details. Note: generation of an EOP at the EOF1 point may prevent

 

 

a Host controller (operating in FS mode) from placing the USB bus in suspend.

 

 

0 = An EOP is generated at the EOF1 point if no traffic is detected.

 

 

1 = EOP generation at EOF1 is disabled (note: this is normal USB operation).

2:1

CURRENT_SNS

Over Current Sense: Selects current sensing on a port-by-port basis, all ports

 

 

ganged, or none (only for bus-powered hubs) The ability to support current

 

 

sensing on a port or ganged basis is hardware implementation dependent.

 

 

00 = Ganged sensing (all ports together).

 

 

01 = Individual port-by-port.

 

 

1x = Over current sensing not supported. (must only be used with Bus-

 

 

Powered configurations!)

0

PORT_PWR

Port Power Switching: Enables power switching on all ports simultaneously

 

 

(ganged), or port power is individually switched on and off on a port- by-port

 

 

basis (individual). The ability to support power enabling on a port or ganged

 

 

basis is hardware implementation dependent.

 

 

0 = Ganged switching (all ports together)

 

 

1 = Individual port-by-port switching.
