• MultiTRAK technology provides dedicated Transaction Translators per port to maintain consistent full-speed throughput
• Configurable via serial I2C slave interface for VID/PID customization and port mapping

Applications

• Mobile Phones
• Ultra Mobile PCs
• Tablet Computers
• Digital Still Cameras
• Portable Media Players

Procurement Notes

Verify the component matches the Microchip Technology USB3803C-1-GL-TR part number. Confirm the datasheet revision DS00001691D aligns with the specific silicon revision required for your design. Ensure the 25-ball WLCS package dimensions are compatible with your PCB footprint and assembly capabilities.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing portable systems requiring multiple USB connections with strict power constraints. The integrated regulators simplify BOM by eliminating external voltage sources. Verify that the host system can support the required I2C configuration or if the default ROM settings suffice for the application.

Part Context

This device belongs to the USB3803 family, which includes the USB3803C (commercial) and USB3803Ci (industrial) variants. The 'C' suffix denotes the commercial temperature range. The 'GL-TR' suffix indicates the specific package type and tape-and-reel packaging format used for automated surface-mount assembly.

Replacement Considerations

The USB3803Ci serves as the industrial temperature variant replacement. Other Microchip hub controllers like the USB2512B may offer similar functionality but differ in port count or feature sets.
