USB7205C/KDX

Controllers Overview

The Microchip USB7205C/KDX is a low-power, OEM-configurable USB 3.2 Gen 2 hub controller featuring five downstream ports. It operates with a 3.3V supply voltage and supports an operating temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. The device utilizes an I2C interface for control and communication. It is housed in a 100-VFQFN package with an exposed pad, designed for embedded applications requiring high-speed data transfer capabilities without Power Delivery support.

Controllers Feature Summary

• Supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 specifications for high-speed data transmission across multiple downstream ports
• Features OEM configurability allowing customization for specific embedded system requirements
• Integrates advanced power management features optimized for low-power operation

Controllers Applications

• Embedded systems requiring multi-port USB connectivity
• Industrial equipment needing reliable high-speed data hubs
• Consumer electronics utilizing USB 3.2 Gen 2 interfaces

Controllers Procurement Notes

Verify the exact ordering suffix and package variant against official Microchip documentation before procurement. Ensure compatibility with the target I2C bus configuration and thermal requirements for the 100-VFQFN package. Confirm that the application environment falls within the specified commercial temperature range. Cross-reference the component revision with any recent product change notifications to ensure design continuity.

Controllers Selection Notes

Select this component when a five-port USB 3.2 Gen 2 solution is required without integrated Power Delivery functionality. The I2C interface is suitable for systems where microcontroller-based configuration is preferred over hardware pin-strapping. Consider the 100-VFQFN footprint for PCB layout constraints and thermal dissipation needs in compact embedded designs.

Controllers Part Context

This part belongs to the SmartHub family of USB controllers from Microchip Technology. It complements other models like the USB7206C by offering a five-port configuration instead of six. The series focuses on providing configurable, high-performance hub solutions for modern embedded applications requiring USB 3.2 Gen 2 speeds.

Controllers Replacement Considerations

The USB7206C-I/KDX serves as a related alternative within the same family, offering six downstream ports instead of five while maintaining similar interface and performance characteristics. Verify pinout and software compatibility when considering substitutes.
