Overview

The USB7016T/KDX is a high-performance, 6-port USB 3.2 Gen 1 hub controller designed for systems requiring reliable high-speed connectivity. It supports one Type-C port with CC pin integration and features an integrated 32-bit microcontroller to handle complex power management and port routing tasks. The device operates with a 256KB flash and 96KB RAM, providing flexibility for custom firmware configurations via I2C, SPI, or SMBus interfaces.

Why Choose This Part

It offers significant design flexibility by integrating a programmable microcontroller and multiple serial interfaces like UART and I2S for audio-related tasks. The controller supports advanced power states L0 through L2, with a low suspend current of 163uA, making it suitable for energy-conscious system designs.

Getting Started

Designers should utilize the EVB-USB7016 evaluation kit to verify port configurations and power delivery settings. Hardware integration requires careful routing of 5Gbps SuperSpeed differential pairs and the provision of 1.2V and 3.3V supply rails. Microchip provides the MPLAB Connect Configurator tool to customize the hub's internal registers and persistent settings without complex firmware development.
