Microchip USB7216 | Demoboard EVB-USB7216

Description

The EVB-USB7216 Evaluation Kit is a demonstration and evaluation platform that provides the necessary requirements and interface options for evaluating the USB7216, which is a six-port Hi-Speed (HS) USB smart hub on a four-layer RoHS-compliant Printed Circuit Board (PCB). This allows users to gain an understanding of the product and accelerate the integration of the USB7216 into their designs.The EVB-USB7216 is compliant with USB 3.2 Gen2 on the upstream port and on downstream ports 1 to 4. The EVB-USB7216 is also compliant with the USB 2.0 HS, Full-Speed (FS), and Low-Speed (LS) USB signaling.The evaluation platform supports six downstream ports: one single Type-C port, four Gen2 ports, and one USB2.0 port with Type-A connectors. The EVB-USB7216 platform also supports battery charging on all six downstream ports (maximum of 10A [Note 1] at any one time). The EVB-USB7216 supports FlexConnect role reversal for any of the downstream ports with the upstream port.The EVB-USB7216 has four configurations for operation through internal default settings and supports custom configurations through I2C or through the external 16-Mbit SPI Flash device.The EVB-USB7216 demonstrates driver compatibility with Microsoft Windows® 10, Windows 8.x, Windows 7, Windows XP, Mac OS® X 10.4+, and Linux® hub drivers.
