Step 1: Conguring the HX3 Board
• Unpack the kit contents which includes RDK board, 5-V 4-A
AC-DC adapter and the USB 3.0 A to micro-B cable
• Ensure that the conguration mode select jumpers (J6
and J7)

Step 2: Powering the HX3
• Plug the AC-DC adapter into an AC wall power receptacle.
Connect the power supply plug to the board’s DC supply
jack. The power LED (PWR) glows green to indicate that
the board is powered and the suspend status LED (SUSP)
glows amber to indicate that the hub is in suspend mode

Step 3: Connecting the HX3
• Connect the micro-B end of the USB cable to the
upstream port; connect the other end to the USB 3.0
receptacle on a PC / laptop. The SUSP LED* turns off

Step 5: Demonstrating Battery Charging
• Connect an Apple device or an USB battery charging
device to any of the downstream ports. The HX3 board
will charge the connected device
* The behavior of the SUSP LED varies across operating systems.
For e.g, in Windows 8, the SUSP LED turns off momentarily and turns
on again when there is no further USB activity on the board
Step 4: Demonstrating USB 3.0 Data Transfer
• Get a USB 3.0 certied ash drive and store a 2 GB le.
Connect the ash drive to one of the downstream ports
• Copy the 2 GB le from the ash drive to the PC / laptop
to transfer data in USB 3.0 mode

Step 6: Demonstrating Ghost Charging
• Disconnect the USB cable from the upstream port to detach
the board from the PC / laptop. The device connected to
the
downstream port continues to be charged using the
Ghost ChargingTM feature
Note: When the Ghost Charging feature is enabled, charging
of the device stops momentarily and resumes in 1-2 seconds

Kit Operation: CY4609 is the reference design kit for CYUSB3304-68LTXC, a 4-port USB 3.0 hub controller from
Cypress. The hub controller supports Low-Speed (LS), Full-Speed (FS), Hi-Speed (HS) and SuperSpeed (SS) peripherals
on all the four downstream ports. It goes into Suspend state to save power when the upstream port is not connected to
a PC / laptop. All the downstream ports are compliant to USB Battery Charging Specication v1.2; they also emulate
Apple charging. The hub controller also supports Ghost Charging, a unique feature where the downstream ports
emulate Dedicated Charging Port (DCP) to support battery charging even when the upstream port of the board is not
connected to a PC / laptop.
The hub controller can be congured for parameters such as vendor ID, product ID, etc. using a Windows based PC
tool named Blaster Plus. The congured values are stored in an on-board EEPROM. To access the Blaster Plus tool, the
kit user guide, and the hardware design les, download the RDK EXE le (CY4609HX3RDKSetup.exe) from
www.cypress.com/go/CY4609. Click the EXE le and follow the steps in the installer window.
