 USB Applications

USB Applications
Universal Serial Bus (USB) specifications created over the last two decades have truly lived up to the term “universal”. With over 4
billion units shipping per year with USB ports, USB is integrated into systems from compact mobile phones to full-size SUVs. Al-
though best known as the technology that enable peripherals to connect to personal computers, USB functionality has expanded
over the years, with power delivery capable of providing up to 100W of power to both hosts and devices, increasing data rates to
10 Gbps (USB 3.1 Gen2), and embedded applications where USB is used for on-board connections via USB Hi-Speed Interchip
Communication (HSIC).

In today’s IoT and automotive applications, Microchip’s USB solutions provide unique products for host/device swapping and
integrated Ethernet connectivity. As end systems become more complex, design re-use and system partitioning are vital elements
in system design. USB plays a key role for connecting sub-systems with a proven protocol and a wide variety of class drivers to
address applications needs from communications, human-interface devices, video streaming, printing and many more.

Microchip offers a range of USB solutions covering USB 2.0 Hi-Speed, 480 Mbps speeds and USB 3.1 SuperSpeed 5 Gbps and
10 Gbps solutions, with chip-level integration for USB physical layer devices, USB switches, USB hubs and USB combination
hubs that include Ethernet ports and media card support. With patented technologies, including FlexConnect, SmartHub and
Multi-Host to name a few, Microchip adds unique features that will enhance and differentiate your system functionality.

Typical Applications
• Docking stations • DVD/CD-ROM/DVR • GPS personal navigation
• LCD monitors • Digital still and video cameras • External hard drives
• HDTVs • Portable media players • Server front/back panels
• Expansion hubs • Entertainment devices • Keyboards and KVM switches
• PC motherboards • Video record/playback systems • Point-of-Sale (POS) systems

 USB SmartHubs

USB SmartHubs
A SmartHub is a USB hub that integrates system-level functions typically associated with a separate MCU or processor. Imagine
the SmartHub as having an “extra” port to handle host communication outside of USB. By adding the extra port, you gain the
ability for the host to interact with peripheral components under the USB umbrella without the need for special bridge ICs. Plus the
downstream port used for the external bridge IC is now available for other USB functionality. I/O bridging and FlexConnect are two
key embedded technologies that make SmartHubs smart. Microchip’s product portfolio includes SmartHubs around USB 2.0 and
USB 3.1 solutions.

Importance of SmartHub Capabilities

• Expands functionality beyond traditional hubs
• BOM savings through integration of functionality
• Simplifies hardware design
• Provides flexibility to Host to configure as needed

Other SmartHub Functions

• One Time Programmable (OTP) memory for customization of
SmartHub ports
• MPLAB Code Configurator tool for setting the SmartHub configuration or
programming SmartHub on manufacturing line
• Availability of configuration straps with predetermined setting to avoid
programming entirely

Bridging over USB for I/O Expansion

• A host has the ability to communicate to a non-USB peripheral over USB through a simple set of APIs
• I2C, SMBus, SPI, UART, GPIO
• Saves added expense of using a separate bridging IC to manage the non-USB peripheral
• Also saves having to use a downstream USB port to interface to the bridging IC

 USB Automotive Hubs

USB Automotive Support

Microchip provides innovative USB products for the automotive segment, with complete AEC-Q100 qualification. Whether your
design needs a high-performance switch, a ULPI transceiver, USB Type-C support, USB power delivery, card readers, USB 2.0
Hi-Speed or USB 3.1 SuperSpeed Hubs, Microchip offers high-quality proven automotive solutions. Coupled with comprehensive
support, including evaluation boards, demo applications, datasheets, applications notes and dedicated, automotive field applica-
tions, designers throughout the world can be confident when designing with a Microchip automotive USB chip is chosen.

As more and more handsets offer automotive capabilities to render applications from your mobile to the vehicle’s display,
Microchip has developed unique, patented architectures that are integrated into many of our automotive hubs. In particular, dual-
role mechanisms allow the Down Facing Ports (DFP) to switch from host to device, while simultaneously establishing USB data
paths to the vehicle’s head unit. Three unique methods are available depending upon:
• Bandwidth needs
• USB port type available on the head unit
• Requirement for persistent USB data on the remaining DFPs
By coupling these methodologies with Microchip’s SmartHub feature set, you can readily implement your systems without com-
promise while optimizing board area and overall system cost.

All new Microchip development projects are created with an automotive process, so our product pipeline will continue to deliver
automotive-grade solutions for future USB specifications to come.
