Chapter 1 General Description
The USB20H04 four-port hub controller is fully compliant with the USB 2.0 Specification and does not
require firmware development. When connected to a high-speed host, the four downstream facing ports
can operate at low-speed (1.5Mb/s), full-speed (12Mb/s), or high-speed (480Mb/s). As required by the USB
2.0 Specification, the USB20H04 is fully backward compatible with legacy full-speed hosts. A dedicated
Transaction Translator (TT) is available for each downstream facing port. This architecture ensures
maximum USB throughput for each connected device when operating with mixed-speed peripherals.

The USB20H04 supports both bus-powered and self-powered configurations. For self-powered operation,
an external supply is used to power the downstream facing ports. In bus-powered mode, all power is
derived from the upstream facing port and no external power supply is required. An external USB power
distribution switch device is used to control V

sense over-current conditions.
A default configuration is available in the USB20H04 following a reset. This configuration may be sufficient
for some applications when it is desired to save the expense of an EEPROM. The controller may also be
configured from a microcontroller or an external EEPROM. When using the microcontroller interface, the
USB20H04 appears as an SMBus slave device. The EEPROM interface supports a 2-wire I

All required resistors on the USB ports are integrated into the USB20H04. 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 over-current sense inputs for the downstream facing ports have internal pull-up resistors.
