TUSB2036VF

Controllers Overview

The TUSB2036VF is a USB hub controller designed for 2- or 3-port expansion of Universal Serial Bus connections. It supports Full Speed (12 Mb/s) and Low Speed (1.5 Mb/s) data rates, enabling connectivity between host controllers and downstream peripherals. The device operates with a supply voltage range of 3.0 V to 5.5 V and includes an optional serial EEPROM interface for configuration storage. Packaged in a 48-pin VFQFPN (VQFN) format, it facilitates integration into compact electronic systems requiring USB port multiplication.

Controllers Feature Summary

• Supports connection of low-speed devices to full-speed-only hosts via internal protocol translation
• Integrates optional serial EEPROM interface for persistent device configuration storage
• Provides hardware-based automatic bus reset and power management control

Controllers Applications

• Expanding USB ports on embedded systems with limited host controller availability
• Connecting legacy low-speed USB peripherals to modern full-speed host interfaces
• Portable electronics requiring compact multi-port USB connectivity solutions

Controllers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'VF' corresponds to the required 48-pin VQFN package variant during sourcing. Confirm that the selected revision matches the design-in documentation, as pinout assignments remain consistent across the TUSB2036 family but packaging options vary. Ensure compatibility with the target system's voltage levels before finalizing procurement orders.

Controllers Selection Notes

Select this component when a 2- or 3-port solution is sufficient for the application architecture. Consider the TUSB2046 series if four downstream ports are required instead. Evaluate the need for the integrated EEPROM feature; if external memory is preferred, other variants in the family may offer cost advantages. Verify thermal performance requirements for the chosen enclosure type.

Controllers Part Context

This part belongs to the Texas Instruments TUSB2036 family of USB hub controllers. It serves as a bridge for expanding USB connectivity in space-constrained designs. The family shares core functionality but differs in package types and port counts, allowing designers to scale complexity based on specific interface requirements.

Controllers Replacement Considerations

The TUSB2036I is a direct functional equivalent offering the same hub capabilities in a different package format. For applications requiring four downstream ports, the TUSB2046B provides a compatible upgrade path with expanded connectivity while maintaining similar control logic.
