MCHPUSB4715T/Y9X

Overview

The USB4715T/Y9X is a high-performance, low-power USB 2.0 Hi-Speed hub controller featuring four downstream ports and an integrated 32-bit microcontroller. It utilizes Microchip's MultiTRAK technology for dedicated bandwidth per port and includes FlexConnect for dynamic port switching between host and device roles.

Why Choose This Part

This controller offers unique system flexibility through FlexConnect, allowing the upstream and downstream ports to swap roles dynamically. It simplifies signal integrity challenges with PHYBoost and VariSense, which provide adjustable drive strengths and sensitivity levels to compensate for PCB trace losses.

Applications

Getting Started

Initial configuration can be performed using external straps or OTP memory for standalone operation, while advanced features are accessible via an SMBus slave port. Hardware development is supported through the EVB-USB4715 evaluation board, which demonstrates the full feature set including USB PD integration.
