Table
| RefDes Group | Function | Requirement from Source Docs | Candidate / Preferred Part | Key Selection Criteria | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| U1 | USB hub controller | USB2514B, 4-port USB 2.0 hub, preferred 36-pin SQFN for new designs | USB2514B variant TBD | Temp grade, package, sourcing | Open | Choose B vs Bi and package suffix |
| Y1 | Reference clock | 24.000 MHz, ยฑ350 ppm crystal or external oscillator | TBD | Load capacitance, ESR, ppm, package | Open | Crystal preferred unless external 24 MHz source already exists |
| Cx | Crystal load capacitors | Sized to crystal CL requirement | TBD | NP0/C0G preferred, tolerance | Open | Final value depends on crystal and PCB stray C |
| R1 | Bias resistor | 12.0 kOhm, 1% to RBIAS | TBD | 1% tolerance, close placement | Open | Mandatory |
| Cx | VDD33 decoupling | 0.1 uF at each VDD33 pin | TBD | X7R/X5R, 0603 or smaller | Open | Mandatory |
| Cx | VDDA33 decoupling | 0.1 uF at each VDDA33 pin | TBD | X7R/X5R, 0603 or smaller | Open | Mandatory |
| Cbulk_3V3 | Local 3.3 V bulk cap | 1.0 uF shared local bulk capacitance | TBD | X7R/X5R | Open | Mandatory |
| Ccrfilt | CRFILT filter cap | Up to 0.1 uF low-ESR or DNP | TBD | Low ESR | Open | Optional based on implementation |
| Cpllfilt | PLLFILT filter cap | Up to 0.1 uF low-ESR or DNP | TBD | Low ESR | Open | Optional based on implementation |
| Rrst | Reset pull-up | 10 kOhm typical per hardware checklist, or errata-compatible alternative | TBD | Tolerance not critical | Open | Validate against chosen reset topology |
| Crst | Reset timing cap | 1 uF typical per hardware checklist, or errata-compatible alternative | TBD | Dielectric stability | Open | Validate power-up waveform |
| Jup | Upstream connector | USB 2.0 upstream connector | TBD | Product form factor, compliance, shield strategy | Open | Type depends on product enclosure |
| Jdn1-Jdn4 | Downstream connectors | USB 2.0 downstream connectors | TBD | Type-A or Type-C, compliance, current rating | Open | Select based on product requirements |
| Rvbus1/Rvbus2 | VBUS_DET divider | Suggested 100 kOhm / 100 kOhm | TBD | Leakage, tolerance | Open | Mandatory unless permanently attached host design chooses alternate method |
| Ux | Port power controller(s) | Enable input should be active-high and 3.3 V compatible; FAULT should be active-low open-drain | TBD | Per-port or ganged, current limit, fault polarity, enable polarity | Open | Required for exposed downstream ports |
| Cvb1-Cvb4 | Downstream VBUS bulk caps | Up to 150 uF max near each downstream port | TBD | Voltage rating, ESR, ripple | Open | Size per inrush and droop budget |
| Dx | ESD protection | High-speed USB specific; total parasitic budget on each USB trace must stay within system 5 pF budget | TBD | Low capacitance, USB HS rated | Open | Place at connector |
| Lx | Common-mode choke | Optional for EMI reduction | TBD | USB 2.0 HS compatible | Optional | Add only if EMI risk justifies it |
| Ucfg | EEPROM | 256 x 8-bit EEPROM if EEPROM config is used | TBD | Voltage, footprint, availability | Optional | DNP if strapping-only or SMBus config |
| Rp_sda/Rp_scl | EEPROM/SMBus pull-ups | 10 kOhm recommended to VDD33 | TBD | 1% not required | Optional | Needed if EEPROM or SMBus used |
| LEDx | Status LEDs | Optional HS / suspend / port indicators | TBD | Color, current, polarity with strap behavior | Optional | Verify with strap-sharing behavior |
Table
| Decision | Options | Current Choice | Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hub power model | Self-powered / Bus-powered | TBD | Changes descriptors, power budgeting, and system architecture |
| Downstream connector type | Type-A / Type-C | TBD | Changes connector, controller, and current advertising circuitry |
| Battery charging support | None / Select ports / All ports | TBD | Requires 1.5 A-capable path on enabled ports |
| Config method | Straps / EEPROM / SMBus | TBD | Impacts BOM count and flexibility |
| Temp grade | Commercial / Industrial | TBD | Impacts ordering code and qualification |
Table
| Field | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Lifecycle | Active preferred |
| Distributor stock | Primary + backup source preferred |
