Two-port USB 3.0 hub controller unveiled by Renesas
Looking to provide designers with increased flexibility when implementing USB 3.0 connections with pcs and tablets, Renesas Electronics has introduced a USB 3.0 hub controller with dual downstream ports.
The two-port µPD720211 employs a QFN package and integrates a voltage step down regulator equivalent to that of existing hub controllers, as well as peripheral components required for rapid charging of tablets and smartphones.
According to Renesas, the device delivers low power consumption at approximately 5mW in low power mode and approximately 350mW during USB 3.0 operation.
