Overview

The USB2517-JZX is a high-performance, low-power USB 2.0 hub controller providing seven downstream ports. It features Microchip proprietary MultiTRAK technology, which utilizes a dedicated Transaction Translator for each port to ensure maximum throughput even when multiple Full-Speed or Low-Speed devices are connected simultaneously.

Why Choose This Part

This controller stands out for its high level of integration, including internal regulators and a reset circuit that reduce external BOM cost. Its MultiTRAK architecture prevents bandwidth bottlenecks by allowing independent data streams for different speed devices.

Applications

Industrial Docking Stations
Provides reliable multi-port expansion for industrial workstations and ruggedized laptops.
Embedded System Expansion
Enables high-bandwidth connectivity for multiple peripherals in POS terminals and digital signage.
Integrated USB Hubs
Ideal for desktop monitors and standalone hub enclosures requiring seven-port high-speed capability.

Getting Started

Engineers can evaluate this part using the EVB-USB2517 evaluation board. Configuration can be performed via external I2C EEPROM or through internal OTP ROM using Microchip ProTouch software tools.
