Overview

The USB2513BI-AEZG-TR is an industrial-grade, low-power USB 2.0 hub controller providing three downstream ports. It features Microchip's MultiTRAK technology, which utilizes a dedicated Transaction Translator (TT) for each port to ensure maximum throughput even when mixing high-speed and full-speed peripherals.

Why Choose This Part

This controller offers significant PCB space savings by integrating termination resistors and a 1.2V internal regulator. Its PHYBoost and PortSwap features allow engineers to compensate for board layout challenges by adjusting signal drive strength and swapping differential pair pins.

Applications

Industrial Embedded PCs
Provides robust USB expansion for industrial motherboards operating in harsh temperature environments from -40C to +85C.
Point-of-Sale Terminals
Connects multiple peripherals like scanners, printers, and card readers while supporting Battery Charging 1.1 for mobile device power.
Automotive Infotainment
Used to expand internal USB connectivity for media hubs and smartphone integration modules.
Docking Stations
Acts as a central hub for port replicators, offering customized Vendor and Product IDs via internal defaults or external EEPROM.

Getting Started

Designers can evaluate this silicon using the EVB-USB2513 evaluation board. Configuration is handled through internal default registers, but for custom VID/PID and string descriptors, an external I2C EEPROM or SMBus slave interface is required. Ensure a 24 MHz crystal or clock source is provided for the internal timing requirements.
