USB7206CT-I/KDX

Controllers Overview

The USB7206CT-I/KDX is a six-port USB 3.1 Gen 2 SmartHub controller manufactured by Microchip Technology, designed for embedded applications. It features five standard USB 3.1 Gen 2 downstream ports and one standard USB 2.0 downstream port. The device supports data rates of 10 Gb/s (SS+), 5 Gb/s (SS), 480 Mb/s (HS), 12 Mb/s (FS), and 1.5 Mb/s (LS). Operating voltage ranges from 1.09 V to 1.21 V for the core and 3 V to 3.6 V for I/O, with an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. It utilizes a 100-pin VQFN package.

Controllers Feature Summary

• Supports USB 3.1 Gen 2 speeds up to 10 Gbps across multiple downstream ports
• Includes integrated terminal resistors and pull-up/pull-down resistors
• Provides OEM configuration options via OTP or SPI ROM
• Compatible with USB Link Power Management (LPM) specifications

Controllers Applications

• Embedded USB hub designs requiring high-speed connectivity
• Industrial control systems needing wide temperature operation
• Consumer electronics utilizing USB Type-C interfaces
• IoT gateways integrating multiple peripheral devices

Controllers Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Microchip distributors. Confirm RoHS compliance status prior to integration. Check for recent Production Change Notices affecting pinout or electrical characteristics. Ensure storage conditions meet moisture sensitivity level requirements before soldering.

Controllers Selection Notes

Select this model when six downstream ports are required with mixed USB 3.1 and USB 2.0 capabilities. Consider the industrial temperature grade for harsh environments. Evaluate power budget constraints against the 1.1V and 3.3V supply requirements. Compare against USB7206T/KDX if commercial temperature range suffices.

Controllers Part Context

Part of the USB7206 family of smart hubs offering advanced configuration features. Designed to replace legacy hub controllers with higher bandwidth support. Compatible with USB-IF battery charger specifications for downstream port charging. Integrates bridge endpoints for I2C/SPI/I2S/GPIO access.

Controllers Replacement Considerations

USB7206T/KDX offers identical functionality with a commercial temperature range. USB7216CT/KDX provides similar hub capabilities with additional EtherSynch features. Verify pin compatibility and firmware requirements when substituting within the USB72xx series.
