General Description
The SMSC 7-Port Hub is fully compliant with the USB 2.0 Specification and will attach to a USB host as a Full-Speed Hub or as a Full-/High-Speed Hub. The 7-Port Hub supports Low-Speed, Full-Speed, and High-Speed (if operating as a High-Speed Hub) downstream devices on all of the enabled downstream ports.
A dedicated Transaction Translator (TT) is available for each downstream facing port. This architecture ensures maximum USB throughput for each connected device when operating with mixed-speed peripherals.
The Hub works with an external USB power distribution switch device to control VBUS switching to downstream ports, and to limit current and sense over-current conditions.
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 pull-up resistors.
Throughout this document the upstream facing port of the hub will be referred to as the upstream port, and the downstream facing ports will be called the downstream ports.
