SMSC USB2512i

The I2C EEPROM interface implements a subset of the I2C Master Specification (Please refer to the
Philips Semiconductor Standard I2C-Bus Specification for details on I2C bus protocols). The Hub’s I2C
EEPROM interface is designed to attach to a single “dedicated” I2C EEPROM, and it conforms to the
Standard-mode I2C Specification (100kbit/s transfer rate and 7-bit addressing) for protocol and
electrical compatibility.

Note: Extensions to the I2C Specification are not supported.

The Hub acts as the master and generates the serial clock SCL, controls the bus access (determines
which device acts as the transmitter and which device acts as the receiver), and generates the START
and STOP conditions.

The Hub will only access an EEPROM using the Sequential Read Protocol. 

The Circuit board designer is required to place external pull-up resistors (10K

Ω recommended) on the

SDA/SMBDATA & SCL/SMBCLK/CFG_SELO lines (per SMBus 1.0 Specification, and EEPROM
manufacturer guidelines) to Vcc in order to assure proper operation.

Slave address is 1010000. 

Note: 10-bit addressing is NOT supported.

Reset the SMBus Interface and internal memory back to RESET_N 

assertion default settings. 

‘0’ = Normal Run/Idle State

USB Attach (and write protect)

‘0’ = SMBus slave interface is active

‘1’ = Hub will signal a USB attach event to an upstream device, and the 

internal memory (address range 00h-FEh) is “write-protected” to prevent 

unintentional data corruption.
