The EVB-USB4x12 is a 4-layer RoHS-compliant evaluation board that utilizes the USB4712/USB4912 to provide a fully functional 1-port hub with battery charging capa- bilities. The EVB-USB4x12 also features the UCS2114 two channel USB port power controller. The USB4712/USB4912 may optionally execute firmware from an external SST26VF016B SPI Flash device included in the PCB.

Upstream Facing Port. On a hub, this is a port that should connect to a USB host VBUS Refers to the 5V-20V power conductor inside of a Type-C cable, the power pins on a USB connector, or the USB power traces on a PCB 2019 Microchip Technology Inc. DS50002889A-page 13...
2.3.1 Power Source A power supply is not included with EVB-USB4x12. This board may be powered directly from VBUS of the USB host, VBUS from the host connected to downstream port 1, or from an external 5V power supply, which may be connected to J2.
EVB-USB4x12 Evaluation Board User’s Guide 2.3.3 Host Connection A USB2.0 or host must be connected to the upstream USB Mini-B port J1. A Type-A to Mini-B cable or a Type-C to Mini-B cable is required to connect the board to a standard USB host.
Configurator tool. After programming and executing a firmware image from an external SPI Flash, the firmware revision can be quickly identified by enumerating the EVB-USB4x12 to a USB host PC and inspecting the USB Device ID (bcdDevice) of the USB2.0 hub. See Figure 3-1.
EVB-USB4x12 Evaluation Board User’s Guide 3.1.2 Power Source The EVB-USB4x12 must be powered externally through the J1 4-Pin DIN connector, or through the J5 terminal block. The supported input voltage range for the base board is 12V to 24V. By default, the sup- plied PM-PD requires an input of 24V to properly regulate up to 20V volts to the upstream PD ports.
Hardware Configuration 3.1.5 USB Ports The following is a list of capabilities for each USB port on the EVB-USB4x12. • Port 0: - Data upstream port (connects to a USB host) - USB2.0 Mini-B receptacle - USB2.0 data connectivity • Port 1:...
