TUSB8041ARGCR

Controllers Overview

The TUSB8041ARGCR is a four-port USB 3.0 hub controller manufactured by Texas Instruments, designed for Super Speed (SS) data transfer at rates up to 5 Gb/s. It operates within a supply voltage range of 990 mV to 3.6 V and draws a typical operating current of 28 mA. The device supports an industrial temperature range from -40°C to +85°C and utilizes a VQFN-64 package for surface-mount installation. Communication with the host system is managed via an I2C interface, allowing for flexible configuration and control of the hub's four downstream ports.

Controllers Feature Summary

• Supports four downstream ports for simultaneous connection of multiple USB devices
• Enables high-speed data transmission compliant with USB 3.0 standards
• Facilitates system integration through standard I2C control interface

Controllers Applications

• Desktop computer expansion chassis
• All-in-one PC peripheral connectivity
• Industrial computing systems requiring robust USB connectivity

Controllers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'RGCR' against the manufacturer's latest datasheet to confirm package type and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB footprint for the VQFN-64 package. Confirm that the procurement channel provides genuine components with traceable origin to avoid counterfeit risks in critical applications.

Controllers Selection Notes

Select this component when a four-port USB 3.0 solution is required with I2C configurability. Compare power consumption requirements against the 28 mA operating current specification. Evaluate the thermal performance capabilities within the -40°C to +85°C range relative to the intended enclosure environment and airflow conditions.

Controllers Part Context

This part belongs to the TUSB8041 series of USB hub controllers. It serves as a functional alternative to legacy hubs like the TUSB8040A, offering improved speed and port density. The RGCR suffix denotes the specific commercial-grade variant packaged in a VQFN-64 form factor, distinct from automotive or other specialized versions in the family.

Controllers Replacement Considerations

The TUSB8041IRGCT is a verified substitute offering identical electrical characteristics and pinout compatibility within the same series. Verify that any replacement maintains the same VQFN-64 package dimensions and I2C interface requirements for direct board-level interchangeability.
