Overview

The USB2514B-I/M2 is a low-power, full-featured USB 2.0 Hi-Speed hub controller offering four downstream ports. It integrates MultiTRAK technology for dedicated Transaction Translators per port and includes PHYBoost for signal integrity adjustment in challenging PCB environments.

Why Choose This Part

This controller features internal 1.2V regulators and integrated pull-up/pull-down resistors to reduce BOM count. It offers significant flexibility through PortMap and PortSwap features, allowing engineers to remap logical ports to physical pins for optimized PCB routing.

Applications

Industrial Computing
Providing reliable USB expansion for embedded motherboards and industrial PCs operating in harsh temperature environments from -40C to 85C.
Docking Stations
Creating multi-port USB hubs for laptops and tablets with support for USB Battery Charging Rev. 1.1 on downstream ports.
Automotive Infotainment
Expanding internal USB connectivity for media hubs and telematics units requiring robust ESD protection and small footprint packaging.

Getting Started

Initial configuration can be performed via an external I2C EEPROM or SMBus slave interface to customize Vendor and Product IDs. For hardware design, ensure the 24MHz crystal is placed close to the XTAL pins and follow Microchip's high-speed differential pair routing guidelines for the upstream and downstream ports.
