USB3503 Ultra Fast USB 2.0 Hub on an RoHS compliant Printed Circuit Board (PCB). The EVB-USB3503 QFN is designed to demonstrate the unique features of this device using a low-cost PCB implementation with ganged port power control for the three downstream USB 2.0 ports.
Do not exceed 4 A total current consumption from the + 5 VDC power supply. The EVB-USB3503 QFN must be connected to an HSIC upstream host via the DATA (J5) and STROBE (J4) connectors using the provided U.FL coaxial cables. When removing these cables from the EVB for any reason, the provided HSIC Extraction tool must be used.
2.1.2 USB3503 Configuration Default: I C configuration is bypassed by default on the EVB-USB3503 QFN evalua- tion board. The hub will use the internal default configuration and automatically transi- tion to the hub communication stage when it is powered on.
EVB-USB3503 QFN Evaluation Board User’s Guide FIGURE 2-2: HUB_CONNECT SWITCH POSITIONS 2.1.3 Clock Source – 26 MHz Oscillator By default, a 26 MHz oscillator (Y1) is populated on the evaluation board as the clock source for the USB3503. The REFSEL[1:0] pins are used to select the frequency of the clock.
2.1.4 Power Source – Self-Powered The EVB-USB3503 QFN only supports self-powered operation and is powered by one +5 VDC regulated external power supply. The +5 VDC, 4 A power supply plugs into the board via a 2.1 mm connector (J3). The external power supply controls the on board +3.3 VDC voltage regulator and on board +1.8 VDC voltage regulator.
Table 2-3 for the complete list of connectors. See Figure 2-2 for an image of the connectors on the EVB. For more details, please see Appendix A. “EVB-USB3503 QFN Evaluation Board Schemat- ics”. TABLE 2-3: CONNECTOR DESCRIPTION CONNECTOR TYPE DESCRIPTION...

Aardvark. Once the software has been installed, locate and run the USB3503 Evalua- tion.exe program on the computer. Connect the Aardvark to the USB3503 EVB with the red wire facing the power port, as in Figure 2014 Microchip Technology Inc. DS50002252A-page 17...
EVB-USB3503 QFN Evaluation Board User’s Guide FIGURE 3-1: AARDVARK CONNECTION The software allows the user to control the digital input pins RESET_N and CONNECT. It also can monitor the INT_N pin for interrupts. There is a section to communicate with the I C serial port, as well as some additional quick configuration and customization options.
The USB3503 can enumerate as a Self Powered or Bus Powered Hub with 1, 2 or 3 downstream ports. The VID, PID, DID and enumeration strings can also be cus- tomized to allow the USB3503 to enumerate with whatever identification is desired. 2014 Microchip Technology Inc. DS50002252A-page 19...
