HX3 USB 3.0 Hub
General Description
HX3 is a family of USB 3.0 hub controllers compliant with the USB 3.0 specification revision 1.0. HX3 supports SuperSpeed (SS),
Hi-Speed (HS), Full-Speed (FS), and Low-Speed (LS) on all the ports. It has integrated termination, pull-up, and pull-down resistors,
and supports configuration options through pin-straps to reduce the overall BOM of the system.
HX3 includes the following Cypress-proprietary features:
Shared Link™: Enables extra downstream (DS) ports for on-board connections in embedded applications
Ghost Charge™: Enables charging of devices connected to the DS ports when no host is connected on the upstream (US) port
HX3 USB 3.0 Hub
Features
USB 3.0-Certified Hub, TID# 330000047
Supports up to Four USB 3.0-Compliant DS ports
■ All ports support SS (5 Gbps), and are backward-compatible
with HS (480 Mbps), FS (12 Mbps), and LS (1.5 Mbps)
■ SS and USB 2.0 Link Power Management (LPM)
■ Dedicated Hi-Speed Transaction Translators (Multi-TT)
■ LED status indicators – suspend, SS, and USB 2.0 operation
Shared Link™ for Embedded Applications
■ Each DS port can simultaneously connect to an embedded SS
device and a removable USB 2.0 device
■ Enables up to eight device connections
Enhanced Battery Charging
■ Each DS port complies with the USB Battery Charging v1.2
(BC v1.2) specification
■ Ghost Charge™: Each DS port can emulate a Dedicated
Charging Port (DCP) when the host is not connected to the US
port
■ Accessory Charger Adapter Dock (ACA-Dock): Enables
charging and simultaneous data transfer for a smart phone or
a tablet acting as a host compliant to BC v1.2
■ Apple charging supported on all DS ports
Integrated ARM® Cortex™-M0 CPU
■ 16 KB RAM, 32 KB ROM
■ Configure GPIOs for overcurrent protection, power enable, and
LEDs
■ Upgrade firmware using (a) I2C EEPROM or (b) an external
I2C master
Vendor-Command Support to Implement a USB-to-I2C
Bridge
■ Firmware upgrade of an external ASSP connected to HX3
through USB
■ In-System Programming (ISP) of the EEPROM connected to
HX3 through USB
Extensive Configuration Support
