This user manual is for the USB3750 Evaluation board. This board can be used to test and evaluate
the functionality of the USB3750 and USB3751. The USB375x EVB exposes the upstream and
downstream ports, as well as the I
There is also SMSC software that can be used with the USB375x EVB and a Total Phase Aardvark
adaptor that can be used to communicate with the USB3750. This software can be used to evaluate
the functionality of the USB3750, prototype microprocessor software, and test how the USB3750 fits
into the entire system. The Total Phase Aardvark adaptor is not included with the USB375x EVB.
2 Hardware
The USB375x EVB is a simple board that demonstrates the capabilities of the USB3750. The board
consists of the upstream and downstream ports, a VOUT LED for visual confirmation of the switch
functionality, an I

The USB ports are mounted on the edges of the USB375x EVB. The downstream ports use the
standard USB Type A receptacle. The label for the port is located below the receptacle. The upstream
port can be a standard USB Type B, mini-B or micro-B receptacle.

2.2 Test Points and LEDs
The USB375x EVB also breaks out the remaining pins. TP1 connects to GND, TP2 connects to the
VBUS pin, and TP3 connects to the VOUT pin. The VOUT pin is also connected to LED4 to confirm
that the OVP switch is enabled or disabled. When the LED turns on, the OVP switch is closed and
power can flow from the upstream port to VOUT.

The SCL, SDA and INT_B pins are also exposed on the J6 header. These pins are compatible with
the Aardvark pinout, where pin 1 of the Aardvark connector connects to pin 1 of the header or SCL.

2.3 Vcc I2C Regulator
The USB375x EVB contains circuitry to pull up the I2C pins to a specified Vcc voltage. The Vcc voltage
can be adjusted by choosing the proper R21 resistance. R10, R11 and R12 are used to pull the I2C
pins up to Vcc. The current value of the I

3 Software
The USB375x EVB comes with a CD that contains evaluation software that can be used with the Total
Phase Aardvark adaptor. To install the software, run Setup.exe, found on the CD. This will install the
USB3750 Evaluation Software, the LabVIEW Run-time engine (to run the executable), and the Total
Phase drivers to communicate with the Aardvark. Once the software has been installed, locate and
run the USB3750 Eval.exe program on the computer.
The tab on the right is labeled Charger Detect; This tab shows how the USB3750 can be used to
detect the connection of the upstream port. In this section the code is simply polling the status register,
and updating the display accordingly.

The middle tab is labeled Switch Control; this tab is a graphical way to change which downstream
port is connected to the upstream port. Simply click on the port to route it upstream, and click on the
middle of the board to route none of the dowstream ports.

The left tab contains a general I2C register read/write screen. The boxes and strings display the bits
descriptions found in the USB3750 datasheet. The register menu and digital display can be used to
select the proper register to manipulate. The click on the value or bit box above to change the value
of the register. Once the desired value and register are selected, press the Write button to change the
value on the part. Click on the Read button and the Value and Bit boxes will update the current value
