APPLICATION INFORMATION

self-powered hub, individual port power management

In a self-powered configuration, the TUSB2046A can be implemented for individual port-power management

when used with the TPS2044 because it is capable of supplying 500 mA of current to each downstream port

and can provide current limiting on a per port basis. When the hub detects a fault on a downstream port, power

is removed from only the port with the fault and the remaining ports continue to operate normally. Self-powered

hubs are required to implement over-current protection and report overcurrent conditions. The SN75240

transient suppressors reduce inrush current and voltage spikes on the data lines.

† TPS2042 and SN75240 are Texas Instruments devices. Two TPS2042 devices can be substituted for

the TPS2044.

‡ 120

µF per hub is the minimum required per the USB specification, version 1.1. However, TI recommends a 100 µF low ESR tantulum capacitor

per port for immunity to voltage droop.
