Overview

Description

The μPD720210 is a USB 3.0 hub controller that complies with the Universal Serial Bus (USB) Specification Revision 3.0 and operates at up to 5Gbps. The device incorporates Renesas' market-proven design expertise in USB 3.0 interface technologies and market-proven USB 2.0 hub core. The device is fully compatible with all prior versions of USB spec and 100% compatible with Renesas' industry-standard USB 3.0 host controller. It comes in a small 76-pin QFN package and integrates several commonly required external components, making it ideally suited for applications with limited PCB space. In addition, μPD720210 incorporates our low-power technologies and supports all mainstream battery charging specifications.

The μPD720210 USB 3.0 4-port hub reference design uses the µPD720210K8-BAF-A USB hub controller. The plug-and-play hub expands four USB 3.0 ports from a PC's USB 3.x port. No driver is required for a common OS.
