The Microchip USB2532 is a low-power, OEM configurable, MTT (Multi-Transaction Translator) USB 2.0 hub controller with 2 downstream ports and advanced features for embedded USB applications. The USB2532 is fully compliant with the USB 2.0 Specification, USB 2.0 Link Power Management Addendum and will attach to an upstream port as a Full-Speed hub or as a Full-/Hi-Speed hub. The 2-port hub supports Low-Speed, Full-Speed, and Hi-Speed (if operating as a Hi-Speed hub) downstream devices on all of the enabled downstream ports. The USB2532 has been specifically optimized for embedded systems where high performance, and minimal BOM costs are critical design requirements. Standby mode power has been minimized and reference clock inputs can be aligned to the customer’s specific application. Additionally, all required resistors on the USB ports are integrated into the hub, including all series termination and pull-up/pulldown resistors on the D+ and D– pins. The USB2532 supports both upstream battery charger detection and downstream battery charging. The USB2532 integrated battery charger detection circuitry supports the USB-IF Battery Charging (BC1.2) detection method and most Apple devices. These circuits are used to detect the attachment and type of a USB charger and provide an interrupt output to indicate charger information is available to be read from the device’s status registers via the serial interface. The USB2532 provides the battery charging handshake and supports the following USB-IF BC1.2 charging profiles:
DCP: Dedicated Charging Port (Power brick with no data)
CDP: Charging Downstream Port (1.5A with data)
SDP: Standard Downstream Port (0.5A with data)
Custom profiles loaded via SMBus or OTP
The USB2532 provides an additional USB endpoint dedicated for use as a USB to I2C interface, allowing external circuits or devices to be monitored, controlled, or configured via the USB interface. Additional Features
Highlights
Hub Controller IC with 2 downstream ports
USB-IF Battery Charger revision 1.2 support on up and downstream ports (DCP, CDP, SDP)
Battery charging support for Apple® devices
FlexConnect: Downstream port 1 able to swap with upstream port, allowing master capable devices to control other devices on the hub
USB to I2C™ bridge endpoint support
USB Link Power Management (LPM) support
SUSPEND pin for remote wakeup indication to host
Vendor Specific Messaging (VSM) support
Enhanced OEM configuration options available through a single serial I2C EEPROM, OTP, or SMBus Slave Port
36-pin (6x6mm) SQFN, RoHS compliant package
Footprint compatible with USB2512B
Target Applications
LCD Monitors and TVs
Multi-function USB Peripherals
PC Motherboards
Set-top Boxes, DVD Players, DVR/PVR
Printers and Scanners
PC Media Drive Bay
Portable Hub Boxes
Mobile PC Docking
