Product Overview

The TUSB2046B is a Texas Instruments USB 4-port hub controller for Signal_Chain designs requiring one upstream root USB port and four downstream DP/DM port pairs. It is described as a fully compliant full-speed hub under the USB specification, with downstream ports supporting both 12 Mb/s full-speed and 1.5 Mb/s low-speed operation.

The device is a 3.3 V CMOS hub implemented with a digital state machine, eliminating firmware programming requirements. System configuration is handled through hardware inputs, including BUSPWR for self-powered or bus-powered mode, GANGED for ganged or per-port power switching, and TSTMODE for selecting a 6 MHz crystal input or 48 MHz input clock.

Package options include a 32-pin LQFP measuring 7.00 mm x 7.00 mm and a 32-pin VQFN measuring 5.00 mm x 5.00 mm. Electrical limits include a recommended 3.0 V to 3.6 V supply range for TUSB2046B, 0 to 70 °C operating free-air temperature, 22 Ω ±5% external series differential driver resistors, and specified HBM/CDM ESD ratings.
