Overview

The USB2514BI-AEZG is an industrial-grade, low-power 4-port USB 2.0 hub controller designed for high-performance embedded applications. It features MultiTRAK technology, providing a dedicated Transaction Translator for each downstream port to ensure maximum data throughput even when mixing high-speed and full-speed devices. The controller is fully compliant with USB 2.0 specifications and supports advanced power management and battery charging.

Why Choose This Part

This controller offers excellent signal integrity via PHYBoost, which allows for programmable USB signal drive strength to compensate for PCB trace losses. It simplifies design with internal USB termination resistors and supports PortSwap for flexible PCB routing of differential pairs. The industrial temperature rating of -40 degC to 85 degC ensures reliable operation in demanding environments.

Applications

Industrial Computing
Providing reliable USB expansion for industrial PCs and human-machine interfaces (HMI) operating in harsh temperature environments.
Embedded Control Systems
Integrating multiple USB peripherals such as cellular modems, Wi-Fi adapters, and sensors into a single host port.
Automotive Telematics
Managing connectivity for infotainment and data logging systems requiring wide temperature tolerances.
Docking Stations
Creating robust USB 2.0 hubs for commercial or ruggedized docking solutions with battery charging support.
