USB MultiSwitchTM Hub
Datasheet
PRODUCT FEATURES
USB 2.0 Compatible 4-Port Hub with two upstream
host port connections
Enhanced configuration options available through
either a Single Serial I2C EEPROM, or SMBus Slave
—
Provides electronic reconfiguration and re-assignment
of any of its 4 downstream ports to either of two
upstream host ports (“on-the-fly”).
Allows multiple USB hosts to share peripherals and
enables a user to dynamically assign host ownership.
– Embedded Mode - 8 (predefined, OEM
programmable) configurations for port
assignment are selectable via three external
control signals.
– Peripheral Mode - Dedicated select pin for
every downstream port (total of 4), selectable
edge or level triggered in order to support a
wide range of possible switch configurations
and styles.
Each host has a dedicated Single Transaction
Translator (Single-TT) for supporting FS/LS devices, or
can also operate in Multi-TT mode where each
downstream port has a dedicated Transaction
Translator.

—
Host Ownership Mode - 8 Single-Color LEDs indicate
which upstream host each of the downstream ports are
assigned to.
Host Ownership & Port Speed Mode - 8 Dual-Color
LEDs are used to indicate which upstream host each of
the downstream ports are assigned to, while
simultaneously indicating downstream port connection
speed.
