Overview

The USB2514B is a high-performance, low-power USB 2.0 hub controller providing four downstream ports for high-speed, full-speed, and low-speed USB peripherals. It features Microchip MultiTRAK technology for efficient data handling and PortMap technology for flexible pin mapping of USB signals.

Why Choose This Part

This controller offers significant power efficiency with a run current of 70mA and an ultra-low sleep current of 1200uA. It provides flexibility for engineers through SMBus or I2C configuration, allowing for custom port mapping and power management without an external EEPROM.

Applications

Embedded USB Hubs
Expanding internal USB connectivity for modular industrial PCs and single-board computers.
Consumer Docking Stations
Providing multiple downstream ports for laptop docks and desktop port replicators.
Integrated Monitor Hubs
Adding USB peripheral connectivity directly into high-resolution displays and kiosks.
Automotive Infotainment
Interfacing multiple user devices or internal modules to a central head unit.
