USB7006T-I/KDX

Controllers Overview

The USB7006T-I/KDX is a low-power, OEM-configurable USB 3.2 Gen 1 hub controller featuring six downstream ports: five standard USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports and one standard USB 2.0 port. It operates at data rates of 5 Gbps, 480 Mbps, 12 Mbps, and 1.5 Mbps. The device includes an internal Hub Feature Controller for USB-to-I2C/SPI/I2S/GPIO bridging and supports USB Link Power Management (LPM). Configuration is achieved via configuration straps, OTP memory, or external SPI memory. It is available in a 100-pin VQFN package and supports commercial and industrial temperature ranges.

Controllers Feature Summary

• Supports USB-IF Battery Charging revision 1.2 with DCP, CDP, and SDP profiles on downstream ports
• Includes FlexConnect functionality allowing reversible roles between upstream and downstream ports
• Features PortSwap for programmable differential-pair pin alignment to optimize PCB trace routing
• Integrates PHYBoost and VariSense for programmable signal drive strength and receive sensitivity

Controllers Applications

• Standalone USB Hubs
• Laptop Docks
• PC Motherboards
• Multi-function USB 3.2 Gen 1 Peripherals

Controllers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'T' indicates tape-and-reel packaging when sourcing components. Confirm that the '-I' designation corresponds to the required industrial temperature range for the target application environment. Ensure compatibility with the host system's power delivery requirements and check for any recent Product Change Notifications regarding assembly sites or material composition updates.

Controllers Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring a high-port-count USB hub with advanced OEM configurability. The integrated Hub Feature Controller enables direct interfacing with external I2C, SPI, or GPIO devices without additional bridge chips. Consider the availability of external SPI memory if complex firmware configurations are needed beyond the capabilities of the onboard OTP ROM.

Controllers Part Context

This part belongs to the Microchip USB7006 family of USB Smart Hubs. The 'T' suffix typically denotes tape-and-reel packaging, while 'KDX' identifies the specific 100-VQFN package variant. The device is AEC-Q100 qualified, making it suitable for automotive applications alongside standard commercial and industrial embedded systems.

Controllers Replacement Considerations

The USB7002T-I/KDX serves as a compatible alternative within the same family, offering four downstream ports instead of six. Designers should verify pinout compatibility and ensure the reduced port count meets the system requirements before substituting.
