GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The USB3503 is a low-power, USB 2.0 hub controller with HSIC upstream connectivity and three USB 2.0 downtream
ports. The USB3503 operates as a hi-speed hub and supports low-speed, full-speed, and hi-speed downstream devices
on all of the enabled downstream ports.
The USB3503 has been specifically optimized for mobile embedded applications. The pin-count has been reduced by
optimizing the USB3503 for mobile battery-powered embedded systems where power consumption, small package
size, and minimal BOM are critical design requirements. Standby mode power has been minimized. Instead of a dedicated crystal, reference clock inputs are aligned to mobile applications. Flexible integrated power regulators ease integration into battery powered devices. All required resistors on the USB ports are integrated into the hub. This includes
all series termination resistors on D+ and D– pins and all required pull-down resistors on D+ and D– pins.
The USB3503 includes programmable features such as:
MultiTRAKTM Technology, which utilizes a dedicated Transaction Translator (TT) per port to maintain consistent fullspeed data throughput regardless of the number of active downstream connections. MultiTRAKTM outperforms conventional USB 2.0 hubs with a single TT in USB full-speed data transfers.
PortMap, which provides flexible port mapping and disable sequences. The downstream ports of a USB3503 hub can
be reordered or disabled in any sequence to support multiple platform designs with minimum effort. For any port that is
disabled, the USB3503 hub controllers automatically reorder the remaining ports to match the USB host controller’s port
numbering scheme.
PortSwap, which adds per-port programmability to USB differential-pair pin locations. PortSwap allows direct alignment
of USB signals (D+/D-) to connectors to avoid uneven trace length or crossing of the USB differential signals on the
PCB.
PHYBoost, which provides programmable levels of Hi-Speed USB signal drive
strength in the downstream port transceivers. PHYBoost attempts to restore USB signal integrity in a compromised system environment. The graphic on the right shows
an example of Hi-Speed USB eye diagrams before and after PHYBoost signal integrity restoration.
VariSense, which controls the USB receiver sensitivity enabling programmable levels of USB signal receive sensitivity. This capability allows operation in a sub-optimal
system environment, such as when a captive USB cable is used.
1.1
Customer Selectable Features
A default configuration is available in the USB3503 following a reset. This configuration may be sufficient for most applications. The USB3503 hub may also be configured by an external microcontroller. When using the microcontroller interface, the hub appears as an I2C slave device.
The USB3503 hub supports customer selectable features including:
Optional customer configuration via I2C.
Supports compound devices on a port-by-port basis.
Customizable vendor ID, product ID, and device ID.
Configurable downstream port power-on time reported to the host.
Supports indication of the maximum current that the hub consumes from the USB upstream port.
Supports Indication of the maximum current required for the hub controller.
Configurable as a either a Self-Powered or Bus-Powered Hub
Supports custom string descriptors (up to 30 characters):
- Product string
- Manufacturer string
- Serial number string
• When available, I2C configurable options for default configuration may include:
- Downstream ports as non-removable ports
- Downstream ports as disabled ports
- USB signal drive strength
- USB receiver sensitivity
- USB differential pair pin location

Pin Descriptions
This section provides a detailed description of each signal. The signals are arranged in functional groups according to
their associated interface.
The terms assertion and negation are used. This is done to avoid confusion when working with a mixture of “active low”
and “active high” signal. The term “assert”, or “assertion” indicates that a signal is active, independent of whether that
level is represented by a high or low voltage. The term “negate”, or “negation” indicates that a signal is inactive.

The function of this pin is determined by the
setting in the CFGP.INTSUSP configuration
register.
When CFGP.INTSUSP = 0 (General Interrupt)
A transition from high to low identifies when one of
the interrupt enabled status registers has been
updated.
SOC must update the Serial Port Interrupt Status
Register to reset the interrupt pin high.
When CFGP.INTSUSP = 1 (Suspend Interrupt)
Indicates USB state of the hub.
‘Asserted’ low = Unconfigured or configured and in
USB Suspend
‘Negated’ high = Hub is configured, and is active
(i.e., not in suspend)
If unused, this pin must be tied to VDD33_BYP.

A 12.0k (+/- 1%) resistor is attached from ground
to this pin to set the transceiver’s internal bias
settings.
Hub will transition to the Hub Communication
Stage when this pin is asserted high. It can be
used in three different ways:
Tied to Ground - Hub will not transition to the Hub
Communication Stage until connect_n bit of the
SP_ILOCK register is negated.
Tied to VDD33_BYP - Hub will automatically
transition to the Hub Communication Stage
regardless of the setting of the connect_n bit and
without pausing for the SOC to reference status
registers.
Transition from low to high - Hub will transition to
the Hub Communication Stage after this pin
transitions from low to high. HUB_CONNECT
should never be driven high when USB3503 is in
Standby Mode.
