Overview

The USB2642-I/ML is a high-performance USB 2.0 hub controller with an integrated flash media card reader and an Ultra Fast interface. It enables seamless bridging between a USB host and multiple storage formats including SD, MMC, and Memory Stick, while also providing downstream I2C and SPI connectivity. Designed for the industrial temperature range of -40C to 85C, it is suitable for robust embedded storage applications.

Why Choose This Part

The USB2642-I/ML features Microchip's Multi-Port Full-Speed Buffering (PHYBoost) and TrueSpeed technology for optimized signal integrity and data throughput. It integrates an internal 3.3V to 1.2V regulator, reducing external BOM count and simplifying the power delivery network in space-constrained 48-pin QFN designs.

Applications

Embedded Flash Card Readers
Integrating SD/MMC and Memory Stick support into industrial PCs and kiosks.
Automotive Infotainment
Providing reliable media interface bridging for vehicle head units and media hubs.
Industrial Docking Stations
Expanding USB connectivity and storage access for ruggedized mobile computing platforms.
Consumer Electronics
High-speed media data transfer for printers, monitors, and digital televisions.

Getting Started

Development begins with Microchip's ProTouch configuration software, which allows engineers to customize the device's internal ROM and GPIO settings. Hardware evaluation can be performed using the EVB-USB2642 evaluation board, and hardware designers should ensure 3.3V VDD stability within the 3V to 3.6V range.

Also Consider

CYUSB3014-BZXI IFXInfineon Technologies - Choose this for USB 3.0 (SuperSpeed) requirements where much higher data throughput is necessary than USB 2.0 can provide.
