Microchip Technology EVB-USB580x SmartHub Evaluation Boards

Microchip Technology EVB-USB580x SmartHub Evaluation Boards are demonstration and evaluation platforms providing the requirements and interface options for evaluating the USB5807 or USB5806 (depending on PCB population options) 7/6-Port SS/HS USB Smart Hubs. Compliant with the USB 3.1 (Gen1) specification, the EVB-USB5807 and EVB-USB5806 boards support 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 platforms support seven/six downstream ports that are USB 2.0 and USB 3.1 Gen 1 compliant.

The EVB-USB5807 and EVB-USB5806 platforms also support battery charging on all downstream ports (maximum of 13A at any one time, requires a 12V, 85W supply). The boards are configured for operation through internal default settings and support custom configurations through the SMBus or the external 16-Mbit SPI Flash device, U2. EVB-USB5807 and EVB-USB5806 demonstrate driver compatibility with Microsoft® Windows® 8x, Windows 7, Windows XP, Mac OS® X 10.4+, and Linux® hub drivers.
