The USB2512, USB2513, and USB2514 two-, three-, and four-port high-speed USB 2.0 hub controllers are said to provide the industry’s smallest footprintyielding up to a 60% space savings. They come in 6 x 6-mm QFN36 and 7 x 7-mm QFN48 packages and have integrated ESD protection.
The chips feature PortMapproviding a flexible numbering of physical ports to virtual ports and PortSwap—which aligns USB signal lines directly to connectors through a programmable pin location, easing PCB design. They also provide four levels of signal drive strength that can restore signal integrity compromised by variables such as PCB layout, analog switches, long cables, and so forth.
