Product details
Overview
CY7C65640A-LFXCT from Cypress Semiconductor is a USB 2.0 high-speed hub controller with four downstream ports, integrated transaction translators (one per port), 24 MHz crystal interface, and SPI EEPROM-based configuration for VID/PID/DID. It operates as a self-powered fixed-function hub in standalone, motherboard, or monitor applications without firmware development.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C65640A-LFXCT datasheet, CY7C65640A-LFXCT pinout, CY7C65640A-LFXCT application, or CY7C65640A-LFXCT equivalent, key selection criteria include per-port TT support, ganged/individual power switching control, overcurrent timer configurability (0–15 ms), and automatic/manual LED indicator modes for port status feedback.
Technical Context
The CY7C65640A-LFXCT implements a TetraHub architecture with four independent transaction translators-enabling full 12 Mbps bandwidth per full-/low-speed downstream port in Multiple TT mode. Its Serial Interface Engine handles low-level USB protocol tasks including bit stuffing, checksum checking, and ACK/NAK generation independently of the Hub Control Block.
The Hub Control Block manages enumeration, FIFO buffering, suspend/resume coordination, DATA toggle verification, and port power/overcurrent control. The Hub Repeater supports high-speed, full-speed, and low-speed connectivity between upstream and downstream ports, with chirp-based high-speed negotiation and SE0-driven reset signaling.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
Package: 56-pin QFN (8 mm × 8 mm), no leads, exposed thermal pad.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| D+, D− | Upstream differential USB 2.0 data pair | Connects to host controller; includes integrated series termination resistors and pull-up (D+) for enumeration. |
| DD+[n], DD−[n] (n=1–4) | Downstream differential USB 2.0 data pairs | Each pair drives one downstream port; includes integrated 15 kΩ pull-down resistors and series termination. |
| PWR#[n]#, OVR#[n]# (n=1–4) | Port power enable / overcurrent indication | Directly interface with external power switch ICs; PWR#[n]# enables VBUS to port, OVR#[n]# asserts on overcurrent fault. |
| GREEN#[n], AMBER#[n] (n=1–4) | LED control outputs | Drive dual-color status indicators per port; support automatic (state-driven) or manual (host-controlled) blinking/color modes. |
| SPI_CS, SPI_SCK, SPI_SD | SPI serial interface | Reads configuration data (VID/PID/DID, hub descriptors, timers) from external EEPROM at power-on. |
| XIN, XOUT | Crystal oscillator terminals | Drive 24 MHz fundamental-mode crystal for USB timing accuracy and EMI control. |
| BUSPOWER | Upstream VBUS sense input | Detects presence of upstream VBUS to determine self- vs bus-powered mode and initiate pull-up resistor activation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Per-port Transaction Translator | Enables independent 12 Mbps full-speed bandwidth per downstream port in Multiple TT mode-no shared bottleneck across low-/full-speed devices. |
| Configurable Overcurrent Timing | EEPROM-programmable overcurrent detection window (0–15 ms) per port allows tuning for specific load profiles and capacitor inrush behavior. |
| Integrated USB Termination & Biasing | On-die 1.5 kΩ upstream pull-up and 15 kΩ downstream pull-down resistors eliminate six external components per port and reduce BOM cost. |
| Dual-Mode LED Indicators | Hardware-automated (green = enabled, amber = overcurrent) and host-software-controllable LED states provide real-time port diagnostics without firmware overhead. |
| No-Firmware Operation | Fixed-function hub logic eliminates need for custom firmware development, reducing time-to-market and qualification effort for OEM hub designs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar USB 2.0 hub controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| USB2514B-AEZG | Four-port USB 2.0 hub with integrated 1.5k/15k resistors and EEPROM configuration; lacks per-port TT-uses single TT shared across all full-/low-speed ports. | Lower cost for basic hubs where full-speed device concurrency is not required; unsuitable for mixed-speed environments demanding per-port bandwidth guarantees. | Select when BOM simplicity and cost outweigh per-port bandwidth needs; verify host OS supports single-TT mode for full-speed device coexistence. |
| UPD720114GA-YF-BAC-A | Four-port USB 2.0 hub with single TT and integrated voltage regulators; supports battery-powered operation; no LED driver outputs. | Targeted at portable battery-operated hubs; requires external LED drivers and lacks hardware automatic LED state mapping. | Choose for mobile applications needing integrated LDOs and low quiescent current; accept added complexity for LED control and reduced diagnostic capability. |
Compared with USB2514B-AEZG and UPD720114GA-YF-BAC-A, the CY7C65640A-LFXCT uniquely delivers per-port transaction translators, integrated LED drivers with automatic mode, and configurable overcurrent timing-making it optimal for high-reliability, mixed-speed hub systems requiring deterministic full-speed performance and user-facing diagnostics.

FAQ
Is external firmware required to operate the CY7C65640A-LFXCT?
No firmware is required. The CY7C65640A-LFXCT is a fixed-function USB 2.0 hub controller that initializes and operates autonomously after reading configuration data (VID/PID/DID, hub descriptors) from an external SPI EEPROM. All USB protocol handling-including enumeration, transaction translation, and port power control-is implemented in hardware.
What is the function of the BUSPOWER pin?
The BUSPOWER pin senses upstream VBUS presence to determine self-powered versus bus-powered operation. When HIGH, it enables the internal 1.5 kΩ upstream D+ pull-up resistor to signal connection to the host. This pin also influences power-on initialization sequence and hub descriptor reporting (e.g., bHubContrCurrent value).
Can the CY7C65640A-LFXCT support both Single TT and Multiple TT modes?
Yes. The device powers up in Single TT mode by default. The host can switch to Multiple TT mode via a SetInterface request (interface = 1). In Multiple TT mode, each full-/low-speed downstream port receives its own dedicated transaction translator, enabling independent 12 Mbps bandwidth-critical for concurrent full-speed device operation.
How are overcurrent conditions reported and handled?
Overcurrent is detected externally by power switch ICs and signaled to the CY7C65640A-LFXCT via OVR#[n]# inputs. Upon assertion, the hub disables the corresponding PWR#[n]# output, reports the event to the host via the Hub Status Change Endpoint, and lights the amber LED for that port in Automatic Mode-enabling immediate visual and software-level fault isolation.
