2.0 INTRODUCTION
2.1 General Description
The Microchip USB5906 hub is a low-power, OEM configurable, USB 3.1 Gen 1 hub controller with 6 downstream ports
and advanced features for embedded USB applications. The USB5906 is fully compliant with the Universal Serial Bus
Revision 3.1 Specification and USB 2.0 Link Power Management Addendum. The USB5906 supports 5 Gbps Super-
Speed (SS), 480 Mbps Hi-Speed (HS), 12 Mbps Full-Speed (FS), and 1.5 Mbps Low-Speed (LS) USB downstream
devices on all enabled downstream ports.
The USB5906 supports the legacy USB speeds (HS/FS/LS) through a dedicated USB 2.0 hub controller that is the cul-
mination of five generations of Microchip hub controller design and experience with proven reliability, interoperability,
and device compatibility. The SuperSpeed hub controller operates in parallel with the USB 2.0 hub controller, decoupling
the 5 Gbps SS data transfers from bottlenecks due to the slower USB 2.0 traffic.
The USB5906 hub feature controller enables OEMs to configure their system using “Configuration Straps.” These straps
simplify the configuration process, assigning default values to USB 3.1 Gen 1 ports and GPIOs. OEMs can disable ports,
enable battery charging, and define GPIO functions as default assignments on power-up, removing the need for OTP
or external SPI ROM.
The USB5906 supports downstream battery charging via the integrated battery charger detection circuitry, which sup-
ports the USB-IF Battery Charging (BC1.2) detection method and most Apple devices. The USB5906 provides the bat-
tery charging handshake and supports the following USB-IF BC1.2 charging profiles:
• DCP: Dedicated Charging Port (Power brick with no data)
• CDP: Charging Downstream Port (1.5A with data)
• SDP: Standard Downstream Port (0.5A with data)
• Custom profiles loaded via SMBus or OTP
Additionally, the USB5906 includes many powerful and unique features such as:
The Hub Feature Controller, which provides an internal USB device dedicated for use as a USB to I2C/UART/SPI/
GPIO interface, allowing external circuits or devices to be monitored, controlled, or configured via the USB interface.
PortSwap, which adds per-port programmability to USB differential-pair pin locations. PortSwap allows direct alignment
of USB signals (D+/D-) to connectors to avoid uneven trace length or crossing of the USB differential signals on the
PCB.
PHYBoost, which provides programmable levels of Hi-Speed USB signal drive strength
in the downstream port transceivers. PHYBoost attempts to restore USB signal integrity
in a compromised system environment. The graphic on the right shows an example of
Hi-Speed USB eye diagrams before and after PHYBoost signal integrity restoration. in
a compromised system environment.
VariSense, which controls the USB receiver sensitivity enabling programmable levels of USB signal receive sensitivity.
This capability allows operation in a sub-optimal system environment, such as when a captive USB cable is used.
Port Split, which allows for the USB3.1 Gen1 and USB2.0 portions of downstream ports 5 and 6 to operate inde-
pendently and enumerate two separate devices in parallel in special applications.
USB Power Delivery Billboard Device, which allows an internal device to enumerate as a Billboard class device when
a Power Delivery Alternate Mode negotiation has failed. The Billboard device will enumerate temporarily to the host PC
when a failure occurs, as indicated by a digital signal from an external Power Delivery controller.
The USB5906 can be configured for operation through internal default settings. Custom OEM configurations are sup-
ported through external SPI ROM or OTP ROM. All port control signal pins are under firmware control in order to allow
for maximum operational flexibility, and are available as GPIOs for customer specific use.
The USB5906 is available in commercial (0°C to +70°C) and industrial (-40°C to +85°C) temperature ranges. An internal
block diagram of the USB5906 is shown in Figure 2-1.

The pin reset state definitions are detailed in Table 3-1.
3.3 USB5906 Pin Descriptions
This section contains descriptions of the various USB5906 pins. The pin descriptions have been broken into functional
groups as follows:
•USB 3.1 Gen 1 Pin Descriptions
•USB 2.0 Pin Descriptions
•Port Control Pin Descriptions
•SPI Interface
•USB Type-C Connector Controls
•Miscellaneous Pin Descriptions
•Configuration Strap Pin Descriptions
•Power and Ground Pin Descriptions
The “_N” symbol in the signal name indicates that the active, or asserted, state occurs when the signal is at a low voltage
level. For example, RESET_N indicates that the reset signal is active low. When “_N” is not present after the signal
name, the signal is asserted when at the high voltage level.
The terms assertion and negation are used exclusively. This is done to avoid confusion when working with a mixture of
“active low” and “active high” signal. The term assert, or assertion, indicates that a signal is active, independent of
whether that level is represented by a high or low voltage. The term negate, or negation, indicates that a signal is inac-
tive.

VBUS Detect VBUS_DET IS This signal detects the state of the upstream bus power.
When designing a detachable hub, this pin must be con-
nected to the VBUS power pin of the upstream USB port
through a resistor divider (50 kΩ by 100 kΩ) to provide
3.3 V.
For self-powered applications with a permanently
attached host, this pin must be connected to either 3.3 V
or 5.0 V through a resistor divider to provide 3.3 V.
In embedded applications, VBUS_DET may be controlled
(toggled) when the host desires to renegotiate a connec-
tion without requiring a full reset of the device.

3.5 Configuration Straps and Programmable Functions
Configuration straps are multi-function pins that are used during Power-On Reset (POR) or external chip reset
(RESET_N) to determine the default configuration of a particular feature. The state of the signal is latched following de-
assertion of the reset. Configuration straps are identified by an underlined symbol name. This section details the various
device configuration straps and associated programmable pin functions.
3.5.1 CFG_STRAP CONFIGURATION
The CFG_STRAP pin is used to place the hub into preset modes of operation. The resistor options are a 200 kΩ pull-
down, 200 kΩ pull-up, 10 kΩ pull-down, 10 kΩ pull-up, 10 Ω pull-down, and 10 Ω pull-up as shown in Tab le 3 -11 .
3.5.2 PORT DISABLE CONFIGURATION (PRT_DIS_P[6:1] / PRT_DIS_M[6:1])
The PRT_DIS_P[6:1] and PRT_DIS_M[6:1] configuration straps are used in conjunction to disable the related port (6-1).
For PRT_DIS_Px (where x is the corresponding port 6-1):
0 = Port x D+ Enabled
1 = Port x D+ Disabled
For PRT_DIS_Mx (where x is the corresponding port 6-1):
0 = Port x D- Enabled

5.0 MODES OF OPERATION
The device provides two main modes of operation: Standby Mode and Hub Mode. These modes are controlled via the
RESET_N pin, as shown in Tab le 5-1.
The flowchart in Figure 5-1 details the modes of operation and how the device traverses through the Hub Mode stages
(shown in bold). The remaining sub-sections provide more detail on each stage of operation.
TABLE 5-1: MODES OF OPERATION
RESET_N Input Summary
0 Standby Mode: This is the lowest power mode of the device. No functions are active
other than monitoring the RESET_N input. All port interfaces are high impedance and
the PLL is halted. Refer to Section 8.3.2, External Chip Reset (RESET_N) for additional
information on RESET_N.
1 Hub (Normal) Mode: The device operates as a configurable USB hub with battery
charger detection. This mode has various sub-modes of operation, as detailed in
Figure 5-1. Power consumption is based on the number of active ports, their speed,
and amount of data transferred.

5.1 Standby Mode
If the RESET_N pin is asserted, the hub will be in Standby Mode. This mode provides a very low power state for maxi-
mum power efficiency when no signaling is required. This is the lowest power state. In Standby Mode all downstream
ports are disabled, the USB data pins are held in a high-impedance state, all transactions immediately terminate (no
states saved), all internal registers return to their default state, the PLL is halted, and core logic is powered down in order
to minimize power consumption. Because core logic is powered off, no configuration settings are retained in this mode
and must be re-initialized after RESET_N is negated high.
5.2 SPI Initialization Stage (SPI_INIT)
The first stage, the initialization stage, occurs on the deassertion of RESET_N. In this stage, the internal logic is reset,
the PLL locks if a valid clock is supplied, and the configuration registers are initialized to their default state. The internal
firmware then checks for an external SPI ROM. The firmware looks for an external SPI flash device that contains a valid
signature of “2DFU” (device firmware upgrade) beginning at address 0xFFFA. If a valid signature is found, then the
external ROM is enabled and the code execution begins at address 0x0000 in the external SPI device. If a valid signa-
ture is not found, then execution continues from internal ROM (CFG_RD stage).
When using an external SPI ROM, a 1 Mbit, 60 MHz or faster ROM must be used. Both 1- and 2-bit SPI operation are
supported. For optimum throughput, a 2-bit SPI ROM is recommended. Both mode 0 and mode 3 SPI ROMs are also
supported.
If the system is not strapped for SPI Mode, code execution will continue from internal ROM (CFG_RD stage).
5.3 Configuration Read Stage (CFG_RD)
In this stage, the internal firmware loads the default values from the internal ROM and then uses the configuration strap-
ping options to override the default values. Refer to Section 3.5, Configuration Straps and Programmable Functions for
information on usage of the various device configuration straps.
5.4 Strap Read Stage (STRAP)
In this stage, the firmware registers the configuration strap settings and checks the state of CFG_STRAP. If
CFG_STRAP is set for CONFIG2, then the hub will check the state of the SMBDATA and SMBCLK pins. If 10k pull-up
resistors are detected on both pins, the device will enter the SOC_CFG stage. If 10k pull-up resistors are not detected
on both pins, the hub will transition to the OTP_CFG stage instead.
5.5 SOC Configuration Stage (SOC_CFG)
In this stage, the SOC can modify any of the default configuration settings specified in the integrated ROM, such as USB
device descriptors and port electrical settings.
There is no time limit on this mode. In this stage the firmware will wait indefinitely for the SMBus/I2C configuration. When
the SOC has completed configuring the device, it must write to register 0xFF to end the configuration.
5.6 OTP Configuration Stage (OTP_CFG)
Once the SOC has indicated that it is done with configuration, all configuration data is combined in this stage. The
default data, the SOC configuration data, and the OTP data are all combined in the firmware and the device is pro-
grammed.
After the device is fully configured, it will go idle and then into suspend if there is no VBUS or Hub.Connect present.
Once VBUS is present, and battery charging is enabled, the device will transition to the Battery Charger Detection
Stage. If VBUS is present, and battery charging is not enabled, the device will transition to the Connect stage.
5.7 Hub Connect Stage (Hub.Connect)
Once the CHGDET stage is completed, the device enters the Hub Connect stage. USB connect can be initiated by
asserting the VBUS pin function high. The device will remain in the Hub Connect stage indefinitely until the VBUS pin
function is deasserted.

5.8 Normal Mode
Lastly, the hub enters Normal Mode of operation. In this stage full USB operation is supported under control of the USB
Host on the upstream port. The device will remain in the normal mode until the operating mode is changed by the sys-
tem.

7.0 DEVICE INTERFACES
The USB5906 provides multiple interfaces for configuration and external memory access. This section details the vari-
ous device interfaces and their usage:
•SPI Master Interface
•SMBus Slave Interface
•I2C Bridge Interface
7.1 SPI Master Interface
The device is capable of code execution from an external SPI ROM. When configured for SPI Mode, on power up the
firmware looks for an external SPI flash device that contains a valid signature of 2DFU (device firmware upgrade) begin-
ning at address 0xFFFA. If a valid signature is found, then the external ROM is enabled and the code execution begins
at address 0x0000 in the external SPI device. If a valid signature is not found, then execution continues from internal
ROM.
7.2 SMBus Slave Interface
The device includes an integrated SMBus slave interface, which can be used to access internal device run time registers
or program the internal OTP memory. SMBus slave detection is accomplished by setting the CFG_STRAP in the correct
configuration followed by detection of pull-up resistors on both the SMDAT and SMCLK signals during the hub’s boot-
up sequence. Refer to Section 3.5.1, CFG_STRAP Configuration for additional information.
7.3 I2C Bridge Interface
The I2C Bridge interface implements a subset of the I2C Master Specification (Please refer to the Philips Semiconductor
Standard I2C-Bus Specification for details on I2C bus protocols). The I2C Bridge conforms to the Fast-Mode I2C Spec-
ification (400 kbit/s transfer rate and 7-bit addressing) for protocol and electrical compatibility. The device acts as the
master and generates the serial clock SCL, controls the bus access (determines which device acts as the transmitter
and which device acts as the receiver), and generates the START and STOP conditions. The I2C Bridge interface fre-
quency is configurable through the I2C Bridging commands. I2C Bridge frequencies are derived from the formula
626KHz/n, where n is any integer from 1 to 256. Refer to Section 3.5.1, CFG_STRAP Configuration for additional infor-
mation.
Note: For details on how to enable each interface, refer to Section 3.5, Configuration Straps and Programmable
Functions.
For information on device connections, refer to Section 4.0, Device Connections. For information on device
configuration, refer to Section 6.0, Device Configuration.

8.0 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTIONS
This section details various USB5906 functions, including:
•USB Type-C Receptacle Support
•Battery Charging
•Resets
•Link Power Management (LPM)
•Remote Wakeup Indicator
•Port Control Interface
•Port Split
•USB Billboard Device Class Support
8.1 USB Type-C Receptacle Support
The USB5906 has built-in support for the USB Type-C receptacle. There are 3 fundamental configurations:
•External USB 3.1 Gen 1 Multiplexer
•Internal USB3.1 Gen 1 Multiplexer, “Type-C Control Mode 1”
•Internal USB 3.1 Gen 1 Multiplexer, “Type-C Control Mode 2”
8.1.1 EXTERNAL USB 3.1 GEN 1 MULTIPLEXER
C_ATTACH[0:2] pins are used to signal to the hub when a valid USB Type-C connection has been detected. This func-
tionality requires an external USB Type-C controller such as a Microchip UTC2000 to monitor the USB Type-C recep-
tacle for a valid attach. This signal is used to enable and disable clocking to the USB 3.1 Gen 1 PHY in order to reduce
power consumption when there is no USB Type-C attach.
The polarity of the C_ATTACH[0:2] pins are controlled by the CC_POL pin. See Ta ble 3 - 6 for details.
A diagram of a USB Type-C Downstream Facing Port with a USB5906, Microchip UTC2000, and external multiplexer
is shown in Figure 8-1.

8.1.2 INTERNAL USB3.1 GEN 1 MULTIPLEXER, “TYPE-C CONTROL MODE 1”
“Type-C Control Mode 1” is enabled by setting the ALT_MUX_EN signal low or leaving it floating. While in “Type-C Con-
trol Mode 1”, the C_ATTACH0 and AB0 pins are used together to signal to the hub when a valid USB Type-C connection
has been detected and in what orientation the connection has been detected. This functionality requires an external
USB Type-C controller such as a Microchip UTC2000 to monitor the USB Type-C receptacle for a valid attach. These
signal are used to enable/disable the USB 3.1 Gen 1 PHYs appropriately according to the detected Type-C attach and
orientation. Unused USB 3.1 Gen 1 PHYs are disabled to conserve power.
The polarity of the C_ATTACH0 pins and AB0 are controlled by the CC_POL pin. See Table 3-6 for details.
A diagram of a USB Type-C Upstream Facing Port with the USB5906, Microchip UTC2000, and internal multiplexer
operating in “Type-C Control Mode 1” is shown in Figure 8-3.
8.1.3 INTERNAL USB 3.1 GEN 1 MULTIPLEXER, “TYPE-C CONTROL MODE 2”
“Type-C Control Mode 2” is enabled by setting the ALT_MUX_EN signal high. While in “Type-C Control Mode 2”, the
ATTACH_MUX0A and ATTACH_MUX0B pins are used to signal to the hub when a valid USB Type-C connection has
been detected and in what orientation the connection has been detected. This functionality requires an external USB
Type-C controller (this mode not directly supported by UTC2000) to monitor the USB Type-C receptacle for a valid
attach. These signal are used to enable/disable the USB 3.1 Gen 1 PHYs appropriately according to the detected Type-
C attach and orientation. Unused USB 3.1 Gen 1 PHYs are disabled to conserve power.
The polarity of the ATTACH_MUX0A pins and ATTACH_MUX0B are controlled by the CC_POL pin. See Table 3-6 for
details.

8.2 Battery Charging
The device can be configured by an OEM to have any of the downstream ports support battery charging. The hub’s role
in battery charging is to provide acknowledgment to a device’s query as to whether the hub system supports USB battery
charging. The hub silicon does not provide any current or power FETs or any additional circuitry to actually charge the
device. Those components must be provided externally by the OEM.
If the OEM provides an external supply capable of supplying current per the battery charging specification, the hub can
be configured to indicate the presence of such a supply from the device. This indication, via the PRT_CTL[6:1] pins, is
on a per port basis. For example, the OEM can configure two ports to support battery charging through high current
power FETs and leave the other two ports as standard USB ports.
For additional information, refer to the Microchip USB5906 Battery Charging application note on the Microchip.com
USB5906 product page www.microchip.com/USB5906.

8.3 Resets
•Power-On Reset (POR)
•External Chip Reset (RESET_N)
•USB Bus Reset
8.3.1 POWER-ON RESET (POR)
A power-on reset occurs whenever power is initially supplied to the device, or if power is removed and reapplied to the
device. A timer within the device will assert the internal reset per the specifications listed in Section 9.6.2, Power-On
and Configuration Strap Timing.
8.3.2 EXTERNAL CHIP RESET (RESET_N)
A valid hardware reset is defined as assertion of RESET_N, after all power supplies are within operating range, per the
specifications in Section 9.6.3, Reset and Configuration Strap Timing. While reset is asserted, the device (and its asso-
ciated external circuitry) enters Standby Mode and consumes minimal current.
Assertion of RESET_N causes the following:
1. The PHY is disabled and the differential pairs will be in a high-impedance state.
2. All transactions immediately terminate; no states are saved.
3. All internal registers return to the default state.
4. The external crystal oscillator is halted.
5. The PLL is halted.
8.3.3 USB BUS RESET
In response to the upstream port signaling a reset to the device, the device performs the following:
1. Sets default address to 0.
2. Sets configuration to Unconfigured.
3. Moves device from suspended to active (if suspended).
4. Complies with the USB Specification for behavior after completion of a reset sequence.
The host then configures the device in accordance with the USB Specification.
8.4 Link Power Management (LPM)
The device supports the L0 (On), L1 (Sleep), and L2 (Suspend) link power management states. These supported LPM
states offer low transitional latencies in the tens of microseconds versus the much longer latencies of the traditional USB
suspend/resume in the tens of milliseconds. The supported LPM states are detailed in Tab l e 8 -1.
Note: All power supplies must have reached the operating levels mandated in Section 9.2, Operating Condi-
tions**, prior to (or coincident with) the assertion of RESET_N.
Note: The device does not propagate the upstream USB reset to downstream devices.
TABLE 8-1: LPM STATE DEFINITIONS
State Description Entry/Exit Time to L0
L2 Suspend Entry: ~3 ms
Exit: ~2 ms (from start of RESUME)
L1 Sleep Entry: <10 us
Exit: <50 us
L0 Fully Enabled (On) -

USB5906
8.5 Remote Wakeup Indicator
The remote wakeup indicator feature uses SUSP_IND as a side band signal to wake up the host when in USB 2.0 sus-
pend. This feature is enabled and disabled via the HUB_RESUME_INHIBIT configuration bit in the hub configuration
space register HUB_CFG_3. The only way to control the bit is by configuration EEPROM, SMBus or internal ROM
default setting. The state is only modified during a power on reset, or hardware reset. No dynamic reconfiguring of this
capability is possible.
When HUB_RESUME_INHIBIT = ‘0’, Normal Resume Behavior per the USB 2.0 specification
When HUB_RESUME_INHIBIT = ‘1’, Modified Resume Behavior is enabled
8.6 Port Control Interface
Port power and over-current sense share the same pin (PRT_CTLx) for each port. These functions can be controlled
directly from the USB hub, or via the processor. Additionally, smart port controllers can be controlled via the I2C inter-
face.
The device can be configured into one of the two following port control modes:
•Ganged Mode - A single GANG_PWR pin controls power and detects over-current events for all downstream
ports.
•Individual Mode - Each port has an individual PRT_CTLx pin for independent port power control and over-current
detection.
Port connection in various modes are detailed in the following subsections.
8.6.1 PORT CONNECTION IN GANGED MODE
Ganged Mode is enabled via SMBus or OTP configuration. GANG_PWR becomes the port control (PRTCTL) pin for all
downstream ports when the hub is configured for ganged port power control mode. All port power controllers should be
controlled from this pin when the hub is configured for ganged port power mode. While in this mode of operation, an
over-current event on any single downstream port will cause all downstream ports to be flagged for over-current.
8.6.2 PORT CONNECTION IN INDIVIDUAL MODE
8.6.2.1 Port Power Control using USB Power Switch
Individual mode is the default mode of operation. When operating in individual mode, the device will have one port power
control and over-current sense pin for each downstream port. When disabling port power, the driver will actively drive a
'0'. To avoid unnecessary power dissipation, the pull-up resistor will be disabled at that time. When port power is
enabled, it will disable the output driver and enable the pull-up resistor, making it an open drain output. If there is an
over-current situation, the USB Power Switch will assert the open drain OCS signal. The Schmidt trigger input will rec-
ognize that as a low. The open drain output does not interfere. The over-current sense filter handles the transient con-
ditions such as low voltage while the device is powering up.
Note: The SUSP_IND signal only indicates the USB2.0 state.
USB5906
DS00002242C-page 35 2016-2017 Microchip Technology Inc.
When the port is enabled, the PRT_CTLx pin input is constantly sampled. Overcurrent events can be detected in one
of two ways:
• Single, continuous low pulse (consecutive low samples over tocs_single), as shown in Figure 8-8.
• Two short low pulses within a rolling window (two groupings of 1 or more low samples over tocs_double), as shown
in Figure 8-9.
To maximize compatibility with various port power control topologies, the parameters tocs_single and tocs_double are con-
figurable via the Overcurrent Minimum Pulse Width Register and Overcurrent Inactive Timer Register.
The pin also has a turn-on “lockout” feature where the state of the pin is ignored for a configured amount of time imme-
diately after port power is turned on. This prevents slow ramp times due to parasitic resistance/capacitance attached to
the pin from triggering false overcurrent detections. This parameter is configurable via the Overcurrent Lockout Timer
Register.

8.6.2.2 Port Power Control using Poly Fuse
When using the device with a poly fuse, there is no need for an output power control. To maintain consistency, the same
circuit will be used. A single port power control and over-current sense for each downstream port is still used from the
Hub's perspective. When disabling port power, the driver will actively drive a '0'. This will have no effect as the external
diode will isolate pin from the load. When port power is enabled, it will disable the output driver and enable the pull-up
resistor. This means that the pull-up resistor is providing 3.3 volts to the anode of the diode. If there is an over-current
situation, the poly fuse will open. This will cause the cathode of the diode to go to 0 volts. The anode of the diode will
be at 0.7 volts, and the Schmidt trigger input will register this as a low resulting in an over-current detection. The open
drain output does not interfere.
8.6.2.3 Port Power Control with Single Poly Fuse and Multiple Loads
Many customers use a single poly fuse to power all their devices. For the ganged situation, all power control pins must
be tied together.
Note: The USB 2.0 and USB 3.1 Gen 1 bPwrOn2PwrGood descriptors must be set to 0 when using poly-fuse
mode. Refer to the “Configuration Options for the USB58xx and USB59xx” Microchip application note for
details on how to change these values.

8.7 Port Split
8.7.1 FEATURE OVERVIEW
This feature allows the USB 2.0 and USB 3.1 Gen 1 PHYs associated with any downstream port to be operationally
separated. The intention of this feature is to allow a system designer to connect an embedded USB 3.x device to the
USB 3.1 Gen 1 PHY, while allowing the USB 2.0 PHY to be used as either a standard USB 2.0 port or with a separate
embedded USB 2.0 device.
This feature operates outside of the provisions of the USB specifications. Operation is intended for specialized applica-
tions only. Contact your local sales representative for additional information.
In order to maintain a positive end user experience, it is recommended that only permanently attached, embedded USB
3.x devices be connected to the USB 3.1 Gen 1 PHY when enabling the Port Split feature. This prevents end users from
attempting to connect USB High-Speed, Full-Speed, or Low-Speed devices to an exposed USB port which only has USB
3.1 Gen 1 connections.
8.7.2 PORT SPLITTING CONFIGURATION
Downstream ports 5 and 6 may be configured for Port Splitting. Port Splitting is configured via register configuration
through SMBus during the hub configuration stage (SOC_CFG) or via the hub’s internal OTP memory.
When Port Splitting is enabled, the existing PRT_CTLx pin associated with that port will continue to control the USB 2.0
portion of the port in an identical matter. A new pin function assigned to a GPIOx pin will be activated and configured to
control the USB 3.1 Gen 1 portion of the port. This new pin is named PRTPWRx_USB3_SPLIT where x indicates the
respective port. Note that overcurrent detection is not supported on the PRTPWRx_USB3_SPLIT pin. These new pins
are assigned as shown in Ta b l e 8 - 5 .

8.7.2.1 Enabling Port Splitting
In order to enable the Port Splitting feature on downstream ports 5 and/or6, the following configuration settings must be
made.
Enabling Port Splitting on Port 5:
• Write 0x42 to register 0x416D to select GPIO66 for Option A
• Write 0x05 to register 0x416D to select GPIO5 for Option B
Enabling Port Splitting on Port 6:
• Write 0x06 to register 0x416E to select GPIO6 for Option A
• Write 0x04 to register 0x416E to select GPIO4 for Option B
8.7.2.2 Link Timeout Reset
Port Splitting is intended for use with embedded USB 3.x devices only. When Port Splitting is enabled, the hub constantly
monitors the USB 3.1 Gen 1 Link to see if a valid USB 3.1 Gen 1 Link is established. If there is no valid USB 3.1 Gen 1
Link for a configured amount of time (see below), then the hub will toggle assertion of the associated “PRTPWRx-
_USB3_SPLIT” pin in an attempt to reset the embedded USB 3.1 Gen 1 device and re-establish the USB 3.1 Gen 1 Link.
The timer is always reset and restarted whenever the timeout occurs.
A valid USB 3.1 Gen 1 link is qualified by the LTSSM_STATE register status for the port. A normal Link will actively
switch through many Link states.
If the hub detects that the Link is staying in one of the following Link states the entire duration of the timeout timer, then
the Link is stuck in an invalid state and PRTPWRx_USB3_SPLIT will be toggled in order to attempt to re-establish the
Link.
• SIS.Disabled(0x4)
• Rx.Detect(0x5)
• SS.Inactive(0x6)
• Polling(0x7)
• Recovery(0x8)
• HotReset (0x9)
The Link Timeout Reset value is configured via register 0x4171 and can be overridden by OTP. The default value is
0x05, which selects a Timeout value of 1 second. Setting the register to 0x00 will disable the Link Timeout Reset feature.
The duration of the Link reset (time which PRTPWRx_USB3_SPLIT signal stays low) can be configured in register
0x4176. The default duration is 400ms with a configurable range of 350ms to 2.9s.

8.8 USB Billboard Device Class Support
USB Billboard is supported by the USB5906 in conjunction with an external USB Power Delivery capable controller that
supports the USB PD stack and alternate mode negotiation.
When a USB Type-C enabled product supports alternate modes for enhanced capability beyond what is available
through USB connectivity alone, that product must support a USB Billboard endpoint so that a user will be notified by
an operating system when the enhanced capability is not enabled due to an alternate mode mismatch.
A good example of alternate mode functionality is support for a DisplayPort monitor that many docking stations provide.
In this case, the docking station offers DisplayPort (DP) capability over the USB-C connector as an alternate mode.The
DP monitor will only function correctly when a successful alternate mode negotiation occurs between the docking station
and the notebook PC (this is the USB-C to USB-C connection). In order for the alternate mode negotiation to succeed,
the Notebook and the Docking Station must both support DP over USB-C, and have the DP messaging capability
enabled to support alternate mode negotiation. If the alternate mode negotiation is successful, then the notebook and
the Docking Station both change their multiplexers to enable DP signaling over USB Type-C. In this case, no USB Bill-
board messages need to be displayed.

USB5906
If the above example instead uses a notebook that doesn’t support DP over USB-C, then the alternate mode negotiation
will fail. The docking station will not have a way to enable the DP monitor capability, reducing functionality for the cus-
tomer. For this is the reason, USB Billboard capability is mandated. In this case, a USB Billboard device class endpoint
must appear on a hub port within the Docking Station, and it must provide text and or a web site link which will provide
information to the user regarding the corrective steps required to use the feature.
In the case of the USB5906, all of the above mentioned negotiation capability will occur outside of the USB5906 via an
external USB Power Delivery capable device that contains a full USB PD stack and can communicate via USB PD mes-
saging. In an alternate mode failure case, the USB5906 will provide that message by allowing the USB host to enumer-
ate an internal USB Billboard Device Class just after the failure in response to a signal from the external USB PD
controller. The Billboard Device descriptors will contain the failure message to the USB Host. The message itself will be
prerecorded in the device’s OTP memory.
8.8.1 BILLBOARD ENABLE IN OTP AND GPIOx PIN USE
Any of the GPIOx pins may be selected to use as the BILLBOARD_EN input. By default, GPIO68 is selected when the
Billboard feature is enabled.
The BILLBOARD_EN input signal is active low. When the pin is driven low by a Power Delivery controller to indicate
an alternate mode negotiation failure, the Billboard functionality will activate.
8.8.2 BILLBOARD ENDPOINT FUNCTIONALITY
When the applicable GPIOx pin is 0, which indicates that Billboard device must be displayed, the following sequence
of events will occur:
1. USB5906 will force the Hub Feature Controller internal device to disconnect from the USB Hub port (emulating
a physical detach)
2. USB5906 will force the Hub Feature Controller to re-connect with descriptors that will show the Hub Feature Con-
troller endpoint is a Billboard device, compliant to version 1.1 of the Billboard device class specification.
3. USB5906 will start a timer (Timer A) when the Host sets the Hub Feature Controller USB address. This timer will

be used to ensure that the Billboard endpoint will not remain permanently attached if it is never accessed. The
default Timer A timeout is 20 seconds.
4. This implementation will only support Billboard when a failure occurs, therefore the Device Container uses a
static list of device capabilities and will only expose the Billboard Device on failure to enter into Modal Operation
and will set the bmConfigured descriptor field to “Unspecified Error” (00b) by default.
5. The Hub Feature Controller will Provide the iAlternateModeString when the host requests it, and will start a timer
(Timer B). The default Timer B timeout is 20 seconds.
6. When either timer expires, the USB5906 will force the Hub Feature Controller internal device to disconnect from
the USB Hub port (emulating a physical detach).
7. USB5906 will force the Hub Feature Controller to re-connect with the standard Hub Feature Controller Function-
ality.

9.4 Power Consumption
The values shown below represent typical power consumption as measured during various modes of operation. Power
dissipation is determined by temperature, supply voltage, and external source/sink requirements.
The following measurements were taken with VDD33 equal to 3.3V, VDD12 equal to 1.2V, at an ambient temperature
of 25°C.
Note: Actual power consumption will vary depending on the capabilities of the USB host, the devices connected,
data type, and data bus utilization. The published data represents typical power consumption of the hub at
nominal ambient temperature and supply voltage while large file transfers are active between USB host and
USB Mass Storage class devices on all downstream ports.
Typical power consumption for specific use cases can be estimated using the formulas below:
IVDD33(mA) = 35 + (NPORTSFS)(1)* +(NPORTSHS)(10) + (NPORTSSS)(7)
IVDD12(mA) = 245+ (NPORTSFS)(0.1)* +(NPORTSHS)(2) + (NPORTSSS)(109)

Note: A USB 3.x hub operates both the USB 3.x and USB 2.0 interfaces in parallel on it’s upstream port connec-
tion. A port operating under the SS/HS condition indicates that a USB 3.x hub was connected to it.

9.7 Clock Specifications
The device can accept either a 25MHz crystal or a 25MHz single-ended clock oscillator (±50ppm) input. If the single-
ended clock oscillator method is implemented, XTALO should be left unconnected and XTALI/CLKIN should be driven
with a nominal 0-3.3V clock signal. The input clock duty cycle is 40% minimum, 50% typical and 60% maximum.
It is recommended that a crystal utilizing matching parallel load capacitors be used for the crystal input/output signals
(XTALI/XTALO). The following circuit design (Figure 9-6) and specifications (Ta b l e 9-10) are required to ensure proper
operation.
9.7.1 CRYSTAL SPECIFICATIONS
It is recommended that a crystal utilizing matching parallel load capacitors be used for the crystal input/output signals
(XTALI/XTALO). Refer to Table 9-10 for the recommended crystal specifications.

Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:
• Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.
• Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the
intended manner and under normal conditions.
• There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our
knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data
Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property.
• Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.
• Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not
mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.”
