Chapter 2 General Description
USB 2.0 High-Speed 2-Port Hub Controller
Datasheet
The SMSC USB251x hub family is a group of low-power, OEM configurable, MTT (multi
transaction translator)
SMSC USB251x hub family is fully compliant with the USB 2.0 specification. Each of the
The
1
hub controller IC’s with downstream ports for embedded USB solutions.
SMSC hub controllers can attach to an upstream port as a full-speed hub or as a full-/hi-speed
hub. The SMSC hub controllers support low-speed, full-speed, and hi-speed (if operating as a
hi-speed hub) downstream devices on all of the enabled downstream ports.
All required resistors on the USB ports are integrated into the hub. This includes all series
termination resistors on D+ and D– pins and all required pull-down and pull-up resistors on D+
and D– pins. The over-current sense inputs for the downstream facing ports have internal pullup resistors.
The USB251x hub family includes programmable features such as:
MultiTRAK
speed data throughput regardless of the number of active downstream connections. MultiTRAK
TM
Technology which utilizes a dedicated TT per port to maintain consistent full-
TM
outperforms conventional USB 2.0 hubs with a single TT in USB full-speed data transfers.
PortMap which provides flexible port mapping and disable sequences. The downstream ports of
a USB251x hub can be reordered or disabled in any sequence to support multiple platform
designs with minimum effort. For any port that is disabled, the USB251x hub controllers
automatically reorder the remaining ports to match the USB host controller’s port numbering
scheme.
PortSwap which adds per-port programmability to USB differential-pair pin locations. PortSwap
allows direct alignment of USB signals (D+/D-) to connectors to avoid uneven trace length or
crossing of the USB differential signals on the PCB.
PHYBoost which enables 4 programmable levels of USB signal drive strength in downstream
port transceivers. PHYBoost attempts to restore USB signal integrity.
OEM Selectable Features
A default configuration is available in each of the SMSC USB251x hub controllers following a
reset. This configuration may be sufficient for most applications. Strapping option pins make it
possible to modify a sub-set of the configuration options.
The USB251x hub controllers may be configured by an external EEPROM or a microcontroller.
When using the microcontroller interface, the hub appears as an SMBus slave device. If the hub
is pin-strapped for external EEPROM configuration but no external EEPROM is present, then a
value of ‘0’ will be written to all configuration data bit fields (the hub will attach to the host with
all ‘0’ values).
The USB251x hub family supports OEM selectable features including:
Optional OEM configuration via I
2
C EEPROM or via the industry standard SMBus interface
from an external SMBus host or microcontroller.
Supports compound devices on a port-by-port basis.
Selectable over-current sensing and port power control on an individual or ganged basis to
match the OEM’s choice of circuit board component selection.
Customizable vendor ID, product ID, and device ID.
Configurable delay time for filtering the over-current sense inputs.
Configurable downstream port power-on time reported to the host.
Supports indication of the maximum current that the hub consumes from the USB upstream
port.
Supports Indication of the maximum current required for the hub controller.

Chapter 5 Pin Descriptions
This chapter is organized by a set of pin configurations (organized by package type) followed by a
corresponding pin list organized alphabetically. A comprehensive and detailed description list of each
signal (named in the pin list) is organized by function in Table 5.2, “USB251x Pin Descriptions,” on
page 22. Please refer to Table 5.3, “Buffer Type Descriptions,” on page 27 for a list of buffer types.
The “N” symbol in the signal name indicates that the active, or asserted, state occurs when the signal
is at a low voltage level. When “N” is not present after the signal name, the signal is asserted when it
is at the high voltage level. The terms assertion and negation are used exclusively. This is done to
avoid confusion when working with a mixture of “active low” and “active high” signals. The term assert,
or assertion, indicates that a signal is active, independent of whether that level is represented by a
high or low voltage. The term negate, or negation, indicates that a signal is inactive.

PRTPWR_POLIPUPort Power Polarity Strapping
Port Power Polarity strapping determination for the active signal polarity of
the [x:1]PRTPWR pins.
While RESET_N is asserted, the logic state of this pin will (through the use
of internal combinatorial logic) determine the active state of the PRTPWR
pins in order to ensure that downstream port power is not inadvertently
enabled to inactive ports during a hardware reset.
When RESET_N is negated, the logic value will be latched internally, and will
retain the active signal polarity for the PRTPWR[x:1] pins.
‘1’ = PRTPWR[x:1]_P/N pins have an active ‘high’ polarity
‘0’ = PRTPWR[x:1]_P/N pins have an active ‘low’ polarity
Warning: Active low port power controllers may glitch the downstream port
power when the system power is first applied. Care should be taken when
designing with active low components.
When PRTPWR_POL is not an available pin on the package, the hub will only
support active high power controllers.

Chapter 6 LED Usage Description
6.1 LED Functionality
USB2513 and USB2514 (48-pin QFN only) and USB2517/17i SMSC hubs support two different
(mutually exclusive) LED modes. The ‘x’ represents the number of downstream ports. The USB mode
provides up to 14 LED’s that conform to the USB 2.0 specification functional requirements for Green
and Amber LED’s. The LED mode “speed indicator” provides the downstream device connection
speed.
6.1.1USB Mode 14-Wire
The LED_A_N[x:1] pins are used to provide Green LED support as defined in the USB 2.0
specification. The LED_B_N[x:1] pins are used to provide Amber LED support as defined in the USB
2.0 specification. The USB specification defines the LED’s as port status indicators for the downstream
ports. Please note that no indication of port speed is possible in this mode. The pins are utilized as
follows:
LED_A_N[x:1] = Port [x:1] green LED
LED_B_N[x:1] = Port [x:1] amber LED
6.1.2LED Mode Speed Indication
The LED_A[x:1]_N pins are used to provide connection status as well as port speed by using dual
color LED's. This scheme requires that the LED's be in the same package, and that a third color is
produced so that the user perceives both LED's as being driven "simultaneously".
The LED_A[x:1] pins used in this mode are connected to x number of dual color LED’s (each LED pair
in a single package). These pins indicate the USB speed of each attached downstream device.
Each dual color LED provides two separate colors (commonly Green and Red). If each of these
separate colors are pulsed on and off at a rapid rate, a user will see a third color (in this example,
Orange). Using this method, 4 different "color" states are possible (Green, Red, Orange, and Off).

DATASHEET
USB 2.0 Hi-Speed Hub Controller
Datasheet
Figure 6.1 shows a simple example of how this LED circuit will be implemented. The circuit should be
replicated for each of the x LED pins on the SMSC hub. In this circuit, when the LED pin is driven to
a logic low state, the Green LED will light up. When the LED pin is driven to a Logic High state the
Red LED will light up. When a 1 KHz square wave is driven out on the LED pin, the Green and Red
LED's will both alternately light up giving the effect of the color Orange. When nothing is driven out on
the LED pin (i.e. the pin floats to a "tri-state" condition), neither the Green nor Red LED will light up,
this is the "Off" state.
The assignment is as follows:
LED_A_N[x:1] = LED D[x:1] (Downstream Port [x:1])
The usage is as follows:
LED_A_N[x] Driven to Logic Low = LS device attached (Green LED)
LED_A_N[x] Driven to Logic High = FS device attached (Red LED)
LED_A_N[x] Pulsed @ 1 KHz = HS device attached (Orange color by pulsing Red & Green).
LED_A_N[x] is tri-state= No devices are attached, or the hub is in suspend, LED's are off.

Chapter 7 Battery Charging Support
7.1 General Description
The battery charging feature is only available in USB251xB (which represents USB2512B/3B/4B and
USB2512Bi/3Bi/4Bi hub family products). Any one or combination of downstream ports on the
USB251xB hub can be configured to support battery charging.
The SMSC hub provides support for battery charging devices on a per port basis in compliance with
the USB Battery Charging specification, version 1.1. The hub can be configured to individually enable
each downstream port for battery charging support either via pin strapping as illustrated in Figure 7.1
or by setting the corresponding configuration bits via EEPROM or SMBus.

7.2 USB Battery Charging
A downstream port enabled for battery charging turns on port power as soon as the configuration
process has completed. The hub does not need to be enumerated nor does VBUS_DET need to be
asserted for the port power to be enabled. These conditions allow battery charging in S3, S4 and S5
system power states as well as in the fully operational state. The USB Battery Charging specification
does not interfere with standard USB operation, which allows a device to perform battery charging at
any time.
A port that supports battery charging must be able to support 1.5 amps of current on VBUS. Standard
USB port power controllers typically only allow for 0.8 amps of current before detecting an over-current
condition. Therefore, the 5 volt power supply, port power controller or over-current protection devices
must be chosen to handle the larger current demand compared to standard USB hub designs.

7.2.1Special Behavior of PRTPWR Pins
The SMSC hub enables VBUS by asserting the port power (PRTPWR) pin as soon as the hardware
configuration process has completed. If the port detects an over-current condition, PRTPWR will be
turned off to protect the circuitry from overloading. If an over-current condition is detected when the
hub is not enumerated, PRTPWR can only be turned on from the host or if RESET_N is toggled. These

behaviors provide battery charging even when the hub is not enumerated and protect the hub from
sustained short circuit conditions. If the short circuit condition persists when the hub is plugged into a
host system the user is notified that a port has an over-current condition. Otherwise the PRTPWR is
turned on by the host system and the port operates normally.
7.3 Battery Charging Configuration
Configuration of ports to support battery charging is done through a strap option on the corresponding
ports PRTPWR[x] / BC_EN[x] pin. see Chapter 5, Pin Descriptions, or through EEPROM or SMBus
configuration load.
7.3.1Battery Charging enabled via EEPROM or SMBus
Register memory map location 0xD0 is allocated for battery charging support. The "Battery Charging"
register at location 0xD0 starting from Bit 1 enables battery charging for each downstream port when
asserted. Bit 1 represents port 1 and so on. Each port with battery charging enabled asserts the
corresponding PRTPWR[x:0] pin.

Chapter 8 Configuration Options
8.1 Hub
SMSC’s USB 2.0 hub is fully specification compliant to the Universal Serial Bus specification, version
2.0, April 27, 2000 (12/7/2000 and 5/28/2002 Errata). Please reference Chapter 10 (Hub specification)
for general details regarding hub operation and functionality.
The hub provides 1 Transaction Translator (TT) that is shared by both downstream ports (defined as
Single-TT configuration), The TT contains 4 non-periodic buffers.
8.1.1Hub Configuration Options
The SMSC hub supports a large number of features (some are mutually exclusive), and must be
configured in order to correctly function when attached to a USB host controller. There are three
principal ways to configure the hub: SMBus, EEPROM, or by internal default settings (with or without
configuration option over-rides). In all cases, the configuration method will be determined by the
CFG_SEL[2], CFG_SEL[1] and CFG_SEL[0] pins immediately after RESET_N negation. Please refer
to Table 8.1, "Hub Configuration Options" for more information.

Note: When the CFG_SEL[2] pin is unavailable, then the logic is internally tied to ‘0’.
8.1.2.1Power Switching Polarity
When the PRTPWR_POL pin is unavailable (3 and 4 port, 48-pin packages only), the hub only
supports “active high” port power controllers.
8.1.3VBus Detect
According to Section 7.2.1 of the USB 2.0 specification, a downstream port can never provide power
to its D+ or D- pull-up resistors unless the upstream port’s VBUS is in the asserted (powered) state.
The VBUS_DET pin on the hub monitors the state of the upstream VBUS signal and will not pull-up
the D+ resistor if VBUS is not active. If VBUS goes from an active to an inactive state (Not Powered),
the hub will remove power from the D+ pull-up resistor within 10 seconds.
8.2 EEPROM Interface
The SMSC hub can be configured via a 2-wire (I2C) EEPROM (256x8). (Please see Table 8.1, "Hub
Configuration Options" for specific details on how to enable configuration via an I

C EEPROM).
The internal state-machine will (when configured for EEPROM support) read the external EEPROM for
configuration data. The hub will then “attach” to the upstream USB host.
Note: The hub does not have the capacity to write, or “Program,” an external EEPROM. The hub
only has the capability to read external EEPROMs. The external eeprom will be read (even if
it is blank or non-populated), and the hub will be “configured” with the values that are read.

7SELF_BUS_PWRSelf or Bus Power: Selects between Self- and Bus-Powered operation.
The hub is either self-powered (draws less than 2 mA of upstream bus
power) or bus-powered (limited to a 100 mA maximum of upstream power
prior to being configured by the host controller).
When configured as a bus-powered device, the SMSC hub consumes less
than 100 mA of current prior to being configured. After configuration, the buspowered SMSC hub (along with all associated hub circuitry, any embedded
devices if part of a compound device, and 100 mA per externally available
downstream port) must consume no more than 500 mA of upstream VBUS
current. The current consumption is system dependent, and the OEM must
ensure that the USB 2.0 specifications are not violated.
When configured as a self-powered device, <1 mA of upstream VBUS
current is consumed and all ports are available, with each port being capable
of sourcing 500 mA of current.
This field is set by the OEM using either the SMBus or EEPROM interface
options.

7DYNAMICDynamic Power Enable: Controls the ability of the hub to automatically
change from self-powered operation to bus-powered operation if the local
power source is removed or is unavailable (and from bus-powered to selfpowered if the local power source is restored).
When dynamic power switching is enabled, the hub detects the availability
of a local power source by monitoring the external LOCAL_PWR pin. If the
hub detects a change in power source availability, the hub immediately
disconnects and removes power from all downstream devices and
disconnects the upstream port. The hub will then re-attach to the upstream
port as either a bus-powered hub (if local-power is unavailable) or a selfpowered hub (if local power is available).

Philips Semiconductor Standard I2C-Bus specification for details on I2C bus protocols). The SMSC
hub’s I2C EEPROM interface is designed to attach to a single “dedicated” I2C EEPROM, and it
conforms to the Standard-mode I
protocol and electrical compatibility.
Note: Extensions to the I
The hub acts as the master and generates the serial clock SCL, controls the bus access (determines
which device acts as the transmitter and which device acts as the receiver), and generates the START
and STOP conditions.

The hub will only access an EEPROM using the sequential read protocol.
8.2.2.2Pull-Up Resistor
The circuit board designer is required to place external pull-up resistors (10 kΩ recommended) on the
SDA / SMBDATA & SCL / SMBCLK / CFG_SEL[0] lines (per SMBus 1.0 specification, and EEPROM
manufacturer guidelines) to VDD33 in order to assure proper operation.
8.2.2.3I2C EEPROM Slave Address
The slave address is 1010000.
Note: 10-bit addressing is NOT supported.
8.2.3In-Circuit EEPROM Programming
The EEPROM can be programmed via ATE (automatic test equipment) by pulling RESET_N low
(which tri-states the hub’s EEPROM interface and allows an external source to program the EEPROM).

DATASHEET
USB 2.0 Hi-Speed Hub Controller

8.3 SMBus Slave Interface
Instead of loading User-Defined Descriptor data from an external EEPROM, the SMSC hub can be
configured to receive a code load from an external processor via an SMBus interface. The SMBus
interface shares the same pins as the EEPROM interface; if CFG_SEL[1] & CFG_SEL[0] activate the
SMBus interface, external EEPROM support is no longer available (and the user-defined descriptor
data must be downloaded via the SMBus). The SMSC hub waits indefinitely for the SMBus code load
to complete and only “appears” as a newly connected device on USB after the code load is complete.
The hub’s SMBus implementation is a slave-only SMBus device. The implementation only supports
read block and write block protocols. The hub responds to other protocols as described in Section
8.3.3, "Invalid Protocol Response Behavior," on page 54. Reference the System Management Bus
specification, Rev 1.0.
The SMBus interface is used to read and write the registers in the device. The register set is shown
in Section 8.2.1, "Internal Register Set (Common to EEPROM and SMBus)," on page 35.
8.3.1SMBus Slave Addresses
The SMBus slave address is 58h (01011000b).
8.3.2Bus Protocols
Typical Write Block and Read Block protocols are shown below. Register accesses are performed
using 7-bit slave addressing, an 8-bit register address field, and an 8-bit data field. The shading
indicates the hub driving data on the SMBDATA line; otherwise, host data is on the SDA/SMBDATA
line.
The slave address is the unique SMBus Interface Address for the hub that identifies it on SMBus. The
register address field is the internal address of the register to be accessed. The register data field is
the data that the host is attempting to write to the register or the contents of the register that the host
is attempting to read.
Note: Data bytes are transferred MSB first.
8.3.2.1Block Read/Write
The block write begins with a slave address and a write condition. After the command code, the host
issues a byte count which describes how many more bytes will follow in the message. If a slave had
20 bytes to send, the first byte would be the number 20 (14h), followed by the 20 bytes of data. The
byte count may not be 0. A block read or write is allowed to transfer a maximum of 32 data bytes.

8.3.3Invalid Protocol Response Behavior
Registers that are accessed with an invalid protocol are not updated. A register is only updated
following a valid protocol. The only valid protocols are write block and read block, which are described
above. The hub only responds to the hardware selected Slave Address (0101100x).
Attempting to communicate with the hub over SMBus with an invalid slave address or invalid protocol
results in no response, and the SMBus Slave Interface returns to the idle state.
The only valid registers that are accessible by the SMBus slave address are the registers defined in
the Registers Section. The hub does not respond to undefined registers.
8.3.4General Call Address Response
The hub does not respond to a general call address of 0000_000b.

8.3.5Slave Device Time-Out
According to the SMBus specification, version 1.0 devices in a transfer can abort the transfer in
progress and release the bus when any single clock low interval exceeds 25 ms (T
Devices that have detected this condition must reset their communication and be able to receive a new
START condition no later than 35 ms (T
Note: Some simple devices do not contain a clock low drive circuit; this simple kind of device typically
resets its communications port after a start or stop condition. The slave device time-out must
be implemented.
8.3.6Stretching the SCLK Signal
The hub supports stretching of the SCLK by other devices on the SMBus. The hub does not stretch
the SCLK.
8.3.7SMBus Timing
The SMBus Slave Interface complies with the SMBus AC Timing specification. See the SMBus timing
in the “Timing Diagram” section.

8.3.9SMBus Alert Response Address
The SMBALERT# signal is not supported by the hub.
8.3.9.1Undefined Registers
The registers shown in Ta bl e 8 .2 are the defined registers in the hub. Reads to undefined registers
return 00h. Writes to undefined registers have no effect and do not return an error.
8.3.9.2Reserved Registers
Reserved registers should be written to ‘0’ unless otherwise specified. Contents read should be
ignored.
8.4 Default Configuration Option:
To configure the SMSC hub in its default configuration, strap CFG_SEL[2:0] to 00h. This procedure
configures the hub to the internal defaults and enables the strapping options. Please see Section 8.2.1,
"Internal Register Set (Common to EEPROM and SMBus)" for the list of the default values. For specific
pin strapping options, please see Chapter 5, Pin Descriptions for instructions on how to modify the
default values. Options include port disable and non-removable pin strapping.
8.5 Default Strapping Options:
The USB251x can be configured via a combination of internal default values and pin strap options.
Please see Ta b le 8 . 2 for specific details on how to enable the default/pin-strap configuration option.
The strapping option pins only cover a limited sub-set of the configuration options. The internal default
values will be used for the bits & registers that are not controlled by a strapping option pin. Please
refer to Table 8.2 for the internal default values that are loaded when this option is selected.
8.6 Reset
There are two different resets that the hub experiences. One is a hardware reset via the RESET_N
pin and the second is a USB Bus Reset.
8.6.1External Hardware RESET_N
A valid hardware reset is defined as assertion of RESET_N for a minimum of 1 μs after all power
supplies are within operating range. While reset is asserted, the hub (and its associated external
circuitry) consumes less than 500 μA of current from the upstream USB power source.
Assertion of RESET_N (external pin) causes the following:
1. All downstream ports are disabled, and PRTPWR power to downstream devices is removed (unless
BC_EN is enabled).
2. The PHYs are disabled, and the differential pairs will be in a high-impedance state.
3. All transactions immediately terminate; no states are saved.
4. All internal registers return to the default state (in most cases, 00(h)).
5. The external crystal oscillator is halted.
6. The PLL is halted.
The hub is “operational” 500 μs after RESET_N is negated. Once operational, the hub immediately
reads OEM-specific data from the external EEPROM (if the SMBus option is not disabled).

Notes:
For bus-powered configurations, the 99.5 ms (MAX) is required, and the hub and its associated
circuitry must not consume more than 100 mA from the upstream USB power source during
t2+t3+t4+t5+t6+t7. For Self-Powered configurations, t3 MAX is not applicable and the time to load
the configuration is determined by the external SMBus host.
All power supplies must have reached the operating levels mandated in Chapter 9, DC Parameters,
prior to (or coincident with) the assertion of RESET_N.
8.6.2USB Bus Reset
In response to the upstream port signaling a reset to the hub, the hub does the following:
Note: The hub does not propagate the upstream USB reset to downstream devices.
1. Sets default address to 0.
2. Sets configuration to: Unconfigured.
3. Negates PRTPWR[x:1] to all downstream ports unless battery charging (BC_EN) is enabled.
4. Clears all TT buffers.
5. Moves device from suspended to active (if suspended).

6. Complies with Section 11.10 of the USB 2.0 specification for behavior after completion of the reset
sequence. The host then configures the hub and the hub’s downstream port devices in accordance
with the USB specification.
Note: The hub does not propagate the upstream USB reset to downstream devices.
