Overview

The USB2512B-AEZG is a low-power, full-featured USB 2.0 hub controller providing two downstream ports for high-speed, full-speed, and low-speed connectivity. It is designed to be a cost-effective solution for adding USB expansion to embedded systems and consumer electronics while maintaining a small footprint in a 36-pin QFN package.

Why Choose This Part

This controller features MultiTRAK technology for efficient data handling and offers low power consumption, drawing only 60mA when configured as a high-speed host. Its flexibility is enhanced by support for configuration via I2C or SMBus, allowing designers to customize internal registers for specific application needs.

Applications

Embedded System Expansion
Adding multiple USB ports to industrial SBCs or microcontroller-based systems that only provide a single USB host port.
Consumer Electronics
Integrating USB connectivity into LCD monitors, TVs, and set-top boxes for peripheral support.
Mobile PC Docking
Designing compact docking stations and portable hub boxes that require high-speed data throughput.
Multi-function Peripherals
Enabling internal USB communication between different modules within printers or scanners.

Getting Started

For hardware development, ensure the 36-pin QFN thermal pad is properly soldered to a ground plane for heat dissipation and signal integrity. Developers can use the I2C or SMBus interface to load custom configuration data from an external EEPROM or a system controller.
