Quick Sourcing Note

TUSB2046 from Texas Instruments is a Signal_Chain 4-port USB full-speed hub supplied in 32-pin LQFP and 32-pin VQFN packages. It provides one upstream USB root port through DP0/DM0 and four downstream ports through DP1-DP4 and DM1-DM4, supporting full-speed and low-speed downstream devices. The device uses 3.3 V low-power CMOS/ASIC logic, integrates USB transceivers for all ports, and requires no firmware programming because hub operation is implemented with a digital state machine. Configuration includes self-powered or bus-powered operation, ganged or per-port power switching and overcurrent handling, optional external serial EEPROM for programmable IDs, and 6 MHz crystal or 48 MHz clock input options.

Product Overview

The Texas Instruments TUSB2046 is a 4-port USB full-speed hub for Signal_Chain designs requiring one upstream USB connection and four downstream USB ports. The upstream root port uses DP0 and DM0, while the downstream ports use DP1-DP4 and DM1-DM4. Downstream operation supports both full-speed and low-speed devices, with slew rate set automatically according to the attached device speed.

The device is built around 3.3 V low-power CMOS/ASIC logic and uses a digital state machine, so no firmware programming is required. USB transceivers are integrated for all upstream and downstream ports. Power configuration is selected through BUSPWR for self-powered or bus-powered mode, while GANGED configures ganged or per-port power switching and overcurrent operation.

Clocking can use a 6 MHz crystal input, where the internal PLL generates 48 MHz and 12 MHz clocks, or a 48 MHz input clock selected through TSTMODE/TSTPLL/48MCLK configuration. Package options include a 32-pin LQFP with 0.8 mm terminal pitch and 7.00 mm x 7.00 mm body, and a 32-pin VQFN with 0.5 mm pitch, thermal pad, and 5.00 mm x 5.00 mm body.

Procurement Notes

When requesting a quote for TUSB2046, buyers should confirm the manufacturer, package or case, required quantity, target date code, compliance documents, packing method, destination country and expected delivery schedule.

If alternatives are acceptable, buyers should share the approved vendor list, required electrical or optical limits, package constraints and qualification requirements. Any alternative part should be reviewed by the buyer's engineering team before production use.

For analog and signal-chain sourcing, supply voltage, bandwidth, accuracy, noise level, package, temperature grade, input/output configuration and qualification requirements should be verified before approval.

FAQ

How many USB ports does the TUSB2046 provide?

The TUSB2046 provides one upstream USB root port using DP0 and DM0, plus four downstream ports using DP1-DP4 and DM1-DM4. The downstream ports support both full-speed and low-speed USB devices.

Does the TUSB2046 require firmware programming?

No firmware programming is required. The device implements hub operation with a digital state machine instead of a microcontroller, while integrating USB transceivers for all upstream and downstream ports.

What clock sources can be used with the TUSB2046?

The TUSB2046 supports a 6 MHz crystal input or a 48 MHz input clock. With a 6 MHz crystal on XTAL1 and XTAL2, the internal PLL generates the 48 MHz and 12 MHz clocks used internally.

Which power source modes are supported by TUSB2046?

The device supports self-powered and bus-powered modes selected by the BUSPWR pin. BUSPWR is an active-high power source indicator, where high selects bus-powered mode and low selects self-powered mode.
