Technical Features
This hub controller supports multi-transaction translators (Multi-TT), which allows each downstream port to operate at its maximum speed even when other ports are operating at lower speeds. It also includes built-in power-on reset and precision oscillator circuits that reduce system complexity and cost.
Features and Applications
Ease of Use: The USB2514BI-AEZG comes with in-built power-on reset and precision oscillators that significantly simplify system design.
Versatility: With support for Multi-TT, each downstream port can function independently at its highest capacity without being affected by the performance of other ports.
The primary application for this device is in systems requiring expanded USB connectivity such as desktop or laptop computers, docking stations, monitors or digital televisions. Its enhanced features make it an excellent choice for any application where multiple peripheral connections are needed.
In the Same Series
The USB2514BI-AEZG is a part of Microchip's family of USB 2.0 hub controllers, which includes several other models with varying features and capabilities:
USB2512B-AEZG: This model offers two downstream ports instead of four.
USB2513B-AEZG: This variant provides three downstream ports.
USB2517-JZX: For applications requiring more connectivity, this model delivers seven downstream ports.
All members in this series share the same core functionality and compatibility with USB 2.0 specifications but differ mainly in terms of the number of downstream ports they offer.
Alternative Models
If there's need for different specifications—other models like TUSB8041 from Texas Instruments could be considered which provides up to four downstream ports but with additional features like battery charging support.
