Controllers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'KDX' against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm packaging details and RoHS compliance status. Confirm current availability as distribution channels may list this component as obsolete or end-of-life. Ensure the ordering information matches the exact datasheet revision DS00003740B.

Controllers Selection Notes

Select this component when a USB 3.2 Gen 1 hub requires native Type-C integration on at least one downstream port without external multiplexers. It is suitable for designs needing flexible port reconfiguration via FlexConnect or those requiring embedded I/O bridging capabilities through the Hub Feature Controller. Verify thermal requirements align with the commercial grade specification.

Controllers Part Context

The USB7016 series includes variants such as the USB7006 and USB7016, differentiated by their downstream port configurations and Type-C support levels. The USB7016 specifically provides native Type-C on Port 1 alongside three standard USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports and two USB 2.0 ports. This model belongs to Microchip's SmartHub family designed for OEM configurability.
