USB5534
4-Port SuperSpeed USB
Hub Controller
Data Brief
PRODUCT FEATURES
Single 25 MHz XTAL or clock input for all on-chip PLL
and clocking requirements
General Description
The SMSC USB5534 hub is a 4-port, low-power,
configurable Hub Controller fully compliant with the USB
3.0 Specification. The USB5534 supports 5 Gbps
SuperSpeed (SS), 480 Mbps Hi-Speed (HS), 12 Mbps
Full-Speed (FS) and 1.5 Mbps Low-Speed (LS) USB
signalling for complete coverage of all defined USB
operating speeds.
Battery charging operation
—
—
Emulate China Charger when "headless"
Legacy charging when "headless" (Blackberry, Apple,
Motorola)
—
—
USB-IF Battery Charging 1.1/1.2 support as a DCP
when "headless"
USB-IF Battery Charging 1.1/1.2 support as a CDP
when connected to USB Host
—

European Union Charger Support
The USB5534 supports the legacy USB speeds through
its USB 2.0 hub controller. The new SuperSpeed hub
controller operates in parallel with the USB 2.0
controller, so the 5 Gbps SuperSpeed data transfers are
not affected by the slower USB 2.0 traffic.
Supports PMBus and I2C on a single interface for all
ports as well as individual interfaces for each port
Supports JTAG boundry scan
PHYBoost (USB 2.0)
—
Selectable drive strength for improved signal integrity
The USB5534 is configured for operation through
internal default settings, where custom configurations
are supported through an on-chip OTP ROM or an
external SPI ROM.
VariSense (USB 2.0)
—
controls the receiver sensitivity enabling four
programmable levels of USB signal receive sensitivity
IETF RFC 4122 compliant 128-bit UUID
All LED and port control signal pins are under firmware
control in order to allow for maximum operational
flexibility; those pins can also be configured as GPIOs.
Software Features
Compatible with Microsoft Windows 7, Vista, and XP,
Mac OS X 10.4+, and Linux Hub Drivers (USB 2.0)
Features
TRUESpeed LEDs (configuration dependent)
—
Multi color LED scheme vividly shows port capability
USB 3.0 compliant 5 Gbps, 480 Mbps, 12 Mbps and
1.5 Mbps operation, USB pins are 5 V tolerant
and operating speed
—
Embedded 8051 Micro controller for Hub configuration
—
Integrated termination and pull-up/pull-down resistors
Standard hub I/O (port power, over-current sense,
LEDs) are GPIOs controlled by a µC instead of hard
coded functions to allow for flexibility for OEM
differentiation
Four downstream USB 3.0 ports (which also support
USB 2.0)
Optimized for low-power operation and low thermal
dissipation
Applications
Configuration via OTP ROM or SPI ROM
Mobile PC docking
On-chip 8051 µC manages GPIOs, VBUS, and other
hub signals
LCD monitors and TVs
Portable expansion hubs
PC motherboards
8 K RAM, 32 K ROM
Power Management capability on the GPIO/LED pins
Set-top boxes, DVD players, DVR/PVR
LED Modes
