EZ-USB™ HX3 USB 5 Gbps Hub Controller
USB 5 Gbps Hub Controller
EZ-USB™ HX3 is Infineon’s USB-IF certified 4-port hub controller. It is proven to work with all known host controllers, device classes and operating systems by repeated testing at every USB plug-fest and third-party laboratories.
EZ-USB™ HX3 supports most USB charging standards, including Battery Charging Specification v1.2, Apple charging standard, YD/T 1591-2006 and ACA-Dock.
EZ-USB™ HX3's ACA Dock feature allows charging of a smartphone or tablet supporting USB OTG, while simultaneously working with USB devices connected to the downstream ports. It also supports battery charging on the downstream ports, without a host connected to the upstream port.
EZ-USB™ HX3's configurable USB 5 Gbps and USB 2.0 PHY improve signal quality, giving the board designers more flexibility, and making USB-IF compliance easier. EZ-USB™ HX3 also supports shared USB link, a proprietary feature that doubles the number of USB ports, creating 8 ports from a 4-port hub controller.
