GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The USB3803 is a family of low-power, USB 2.0 hub controllers with three downstream ports. “USB3803” is a generic
term referring to the entire family, which includes the following devices:
• USB3803C
• USB3803Ci
The USB3803 is available in two temperature ranges (commercial and industrial) and is recommended for new designs.
The USB3803 device includes an integrated USB bypass switch. This device-specific feature is called out independently
throughout  the  document. 

Table 1-1

  provides  a  summary  of  the  feature  differences  between  USB3803C  and

USB3803Ci:

The USB3803 can attach to an upstream port as a full-speed hub or as a full-/hi-speed hub and supports low-speed,
full-speed, and hi-speed (if operating as a hi-speed hub) downstream devices on all of the enabled downstream ports.
The USB3803 has been specifically optimized for mobile embedded applications. The pin-count has been reduced by
optimizing the  USB3803 for mobile  battery-powered embedded systems  where power consumption, small package
size,  minimal  BOM,  and  battery  charger  detection  capabilities  are  critical  design  requirements.  Standby  mode  and
Bypass mode power has been minimized. Instead of a dedicated crystal, reference clock inputs are aligned to mobile
applications.  Flexible  integrated  power  regulators  ease  integration  into  battery  powered  devices. Automatic  battery
charger detection is available on the upstream port. All required resistors on the USB ports are integrated into the hub.
This includes all series termination resistors on D+ and D– pins and all required pull-down and pull-up resistors on D+
and D– pins.
The integrated USB switch allows the USB3803 to bypass the USB Hub and directly connect the upstream and Port 3
downstream USB port for operational modes that do not require Hi-Speed media transfers. The bypass switch enables
multiple connectivity options to the USB port while preserving the high speed signal quality in USB Hub Mode.
The USB3803 integrated battery charger detection circuitry supports USB-IF 1.1 charger detection methods. These cir-
cuits are used to detect the attachment and type of a USB Charger and provide an interrupt output to the portable device
indicating that charger information is available to be read from USB3803 status registers via the serial interface.
The USB3803 includes programmable features such as:
MultiTRAK

TM 

Technology which utilizes a dedicated Transaction Translator (TT) per port to maintain consistent full-

speed data throughput regardless of the number of active downstream connections. MultiTRAK

TM 

outperforms conven-

tional USB 2.0 hubs with a single TT in USB full-speed data transfers.
PortMap which provides flexible port mapping and disable sequences. The downstream ports of a USB3803 hub can
be reordered or disabled in any sequence to support multiple platform designs with minimum effort. For any port that is
disabled, the USB3803 hub controllers automatically reorder the remaining ports to match the USB host controller’s port
numbering scheme.
PortSwap which adds per-port programmability to USB differential-pair pin locations. PortSwap allows direct alignment
of USB signals (D+/D-) to connectors to avoid uneven trace length or crossing of the USB differential signals on the
PCB.
PHYBoost  which  provides  programmable  levels  of  Hi-Speed  USB  signal  drive
strength in the upstream and downstream port transceivers. PHYBoost attempts to
restore USB signal integrity in a compromised system environment. The graphic on
the right shows an example of Hi-Speed USB eye diagrams before and after PHY-
Boost signal integrity restoration.
VariSense

TM

 which controls the USB receiver sensitivity enabling programmable lev-

els of USB signal receive sensitivity. This capability allows operation in a sub-optimal system environment, such as
when a captive USB cable is used.

Pin Descriptions

This section provides a detailed description of each signal. The signals are arranged in functional groups according to
their associated interface.
The terms assertion and negation are used. This is done to avoid confusion when working with a mixture of “active low”
and “active high” signal. The term “assert” or “assertion” indicates that a signal is active, independent of whether that
level is represented by a high or low voltage. The term “negate” or “negation” indicates that a signal is inactive.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The USB3803 is a family of low-power, USB 2.0 hub controllers with three downstream ports. “USB3803” is a generic
term referring to the entire family, which includes the following devices:
• USB3803C
• USB3803Ci
The USB3803 is available in two temperature ranges (commercial and industrial) and is recommended for new designs.
The USB3803 device includes an integrated USB bypass switch. This device-specific feature is called out independently
throughout  the  document. 

Table 1-1

  provides  a  summary  of  the  feature  differences  between  USB3803C  and

USB3803Ci:

The USB3803 can attach to an upstream port as a full-speed hub or as a full-/hi-speed hub and supports low-speed,
full-speed, and hi-speed (if operating as a hi-speed hub) downstream devices on all of the enabled downstream ports.
The USB3803 has been specifically optimized for mobile embedded applications. The pin-count has been reduced by
optimizing the  USB3803 for mobile  battery-powered embedded systems  where power consumption, small package
size,  minimal  BOM,  and  battery  charger  detection  capabilities  are  critical  design  requirements.  Standby  mode  and
Bypass mode power has been minimized. Instead of a dedicated crystal, reference clock inputs are aligned to mobile
applications.  Flexible  integrated  power  regulators  ease  integration  into  battery  powered  devices. Automatic  battery
charger detection is available on the upstream port. All required resistors on the USB ports are integrated into the hub.
This includes all series termination resistors on D+ and D– pins and all required pull-down and pull-up resistors on D+
and D– pins.
The integrated USB switch allows the USB3803 to bypass the USB Hub and directly connect the upstream and Port 3
downstream USB port for operational modes that do not require Hi-Speed media transfers. The bypass switch enables
multiple connectivity options to the USB port while preserving the high speed signal quality in USB Hub Mode.
The USB3803 integrated battery charger detection circuitry supports USB-IF 1.1 charger detection methods. These cir-
cuits are used to detect the attachment and type of a USB Charger and provide an interrupt output to the portable device
indicating that charger information is available to be read from USB3803 status registers via the serial interface.
The USB3803 includes programmable features such as:
MultiTRAK

TM 

Technology which utilizes a dedicated Transaction Translator (TT) per port to maintain consistent full-

speed data throughput regardless of the number of active downstream connections. MultiTRAK

TM 

outperforms conven-

tional USB 2.0 hubs with a single TT in USB full-speed data transfers.
PortMap which provides flexible port mapping and disable sequences. The downstream ports of a USB3803 hub can
be reordered or disabled in any sequence to support multiple platform designs with minimum effort. For any port that is
disabled, the USB3803 hub controllers automatically reorder the remaining ports to match the USB host controller’s port
numbering scheme.
PortSwap which adds per-port programmability to USB differential-pair pin locations. PortSwap allows direct alignment
of USB signals (D+/D-) to connectors to avoid uneven trace length or crossing of the USB differential signals on the
PCB.
PHYBoost  which  provides  programmable  levels  of  Hi-Speed  USB  signal  drive
strength in the upstream and downstream port transceivers. PHYBoost attempts to
restore USB signal integrity in a compromised system environment. The graphic on
the right shows an example of Hi-Speed USB eye diagrams before and after PHY-
Boost signal integrity restoration.
VariSense

TM

 which controls the USB receiver sensitivity enabling programmable lev-

els of USB signal receive sensitivity. This capability allows operation in a sub-optimal system environment, such as
when a captive USB cable is used.

Pin Descriptions

This section provides a detailed description of each signal. The signals are arranged in functional groups according to
their associated interface.
The terms assertion and negation are used. This is done to avoid confusion when working with a mixture of “active low”
and “active high” signal. The term “assert” or “assertion” indicates that a signal is active, independent of whether that
level is represented by a high or low voltage. The term “negate” or “negation” indicates that a signal is inactive.
