Datasheet
PRODUCT FEATURES
USB2512i 
Industrial Temperature 
Rated USB 2.0 High-Speed 
2-Port Hub Controller
General Description
The SMSC 2-Port Hub is a low power, OEM
configurable, STT (Single transaction translator) hub
controller IC with 2 downstream ports for embedded
USB solutions. The 2-port hub is fully compliant with the
USB 2.0 Specification and will attach to an upstream
port as a Full-Speed Hub or as a Full-/High-Speed Hub.
The 2-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.
General Features
 Hub Controller IC with 2 downstream ports
 Enhanced OEM configuration options available 
through either a single serial I
2
C EEPROM, or 
SMBus Slave Port
 36-pin (6x6mm) QFN lead-free, RoHS compliant 
package
 Supports industrial temperature range of -40ºC - 85ºC
Hardware Features
 Low power operation
 Full Power Management with individual or ganged 
power control of each downstream port
 On-chip Power On Reset (POR)
 Internal 1.8V Voltage Regulator
 Fully integrated USB termination and Pull-up/Pull-
down resistors
 On Board 24MHz Crystal Driver, Resonator or 
External 24MHz clock input
 Enhanced EMI rejection and ESD protection 
performance
OEM Selectable Features
 Customize Vendor ID, Product ID, and Device ID
 Select whether the hub is part of a compound device 
(When any downstream port is permanently 
hardwired to a USB peripheral device, the hub is part 
of a compound device) 
 Flexible port mapping and disable sequence. Ports 
can be disabled/reordered in any order to support 
multiple product SKUs. Hub will automatically reorder 
the remaining ports to match the Host controller's 
numbering scheme. 
 Programmable USB differential-pair pin location. 
Ease PCB layout by aligning USB signal lines directly 
to connectors
 Programmable USB signal drive strength. Recover 
USB signal integrity due to compromised system 
environment using 2-level driving strength resolution
 Select the presence of a permanently hardwired USB 
peripheral device on a port by port basis
 Configure the delay time for filtering the over-current 
sense inputs
 Configure the delay time for turning on downstream 
port power
 Indicate the maximum current that the 2-port hub 
consumes from the USB upstream port
 Indicate the maximum current required for the hub 
controller 
 Pin Selectable Options for Default Configuration 
— Select Downstream Ports as Non-Removable Ports
