Microchip Technology EVB-USB5926 SmartHub Evaluation Board

Microchip Technology EVB-USB5926 SmartHub Evaluation Board is a demonstration and evaluation platform that provides the requirements and interface options for evaluating the USB5926 6-Port SS/HS USB Smart Hub. The EVB-USB5926 is compliant with the USB 3.2 (Gen1) specification and supports SuperSpeed (SS), High-Speed (HS), Full-Speed (FS), and Low-Speed (LS) USB signaling for complete coverage of all defined USB operation speeds. The evaluation platform supports six downstream ports: two USB Type-C™ USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, two standard A USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, and two standard A USB 2.0 ports. The EVB-USB5926 platform also supports battery charging on all six ports (maximum of 13A at any one time, requires a 12V, 85W supply).

Configured for operation through internal default settings, the Microchip EVB-USB5926 supports custom configurations through SMBus or through the external 16-Mbit SPI Flash device. The EVB-USB5926 demonstrates driver compatibility with Microsoft® Windows® 8.x, Windows 7, Windows XP, Mac OS® X 10.4+, and Linux® hub drivers.
