Product details
Overview
TUSB2046BIRHBRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 qualified 4-port USB 2.0 full-speed hub IC for automotive infotainment systems, featuring one upstream port and four downstream ports, integrated USB transceivers, 3.3-V operation, and ganged/per-port power switching control via PWRON/OVRCUR signals.
For engineers reviewing the TUSB2046BIRHBRQ1 datasheet, TUSB2046BIRHBRQ1 pinout, TUSB2046BIRHBRQ1 application, or TUSB2046BIRHBRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include USB-IF TID #30220231 compliance, 6-MHz crystal–based low-EMI clocking, EEPROM-programmable VID/PID support, and automotive-grade ESD robustness (±3000 V HBM).
Technical Context
The TUSB2046BIRHBRQ1 implements a hardware state machine-not firmware-enabling zero-host-driver dependency and seamless integration with any USB stack. It supports both full-speed (12 Mb/s) and low-speed (1.5 Mb/s) downstream devices via automatic slew-rate adaptation per port.
Its dual-clock architecture allows either 6-MHz crystal + internal APLL (for suspend/resume capability) or direct 48-MHz external clock input; TSTMODE pin selects mode. EXTMEM pin configures EEPROM interface (EECLK/EEDATA) or repurposes pin 6 as GANGED control.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Self-powered hub providing isolated, overcurrent-protected downstream ports for service tools and update dongles. Use Value: BUSPWR + GANGED configuration enables robust per-port power management; OVRCUR filtering prevents false trips from transient noise. |
Use Scenario: DoIP gateway bridging Ethernet diagnostics to legacy USB service tools in workshop environments. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bus-powered hub relaying USB control transfers and bulk data between diagnostic PC and vehicle ECU. Use Value: 32-pin VQFN package supports two-layer PCB routing; push-pull PWRON outputs reduce component count vs open-drain alternatives. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar USB hub applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TUSB2046BI-Q1 | Same die, identical RHB package and pinout; differs only in tape-and-reel packaging and part marking | No functional difference; used interchangeably in automotive designs per TI documentation | Select when sourcing from TI's standard distribution channels with standard reel packaging |
| USB2422 | 2-port hub; supports USB 2.0 high-speed (480 Mb/s); requires external EEPROM for VID/PID; different pinout and power architecture | Not drop-in; requires PCB redesign and firmware validation; suited for non-automotive, high-speed applications | Choose only if high-speed bandwidth is required and AEC-Q100 qualification is not mandatory |
Compared with TUSB2046BIRHBRQ1, TUSB2046BI-Q1 offers identical functionality and automotive qualification but differs in packaging format, while USB2422 provides higher bandwidth at the cost of automotive compliance and pin compatibility.

FAQ
What USB speed modes does the TUSB2046BIRHBRQ1 support?
The TUSB2046BIRHBRQ1 supports full-speed (12 Mb/s) and low-speed (1.5 Mb/s) USB 2.0 operation on all four downstream ports. It enumerates high-speed devices but limits throughput to full-speed rates. Auto-slew rate selection per port ensures correct signal integrity without external configuration.
Is the TUSB2046BIRHBRQ1 pin-compatible with the TUSB2046B-Q1?
Yes, the TUSB2046BIRHBRQ1 is pin-compatible with the TUSB2046B-Q1. Both use the same 32-pin VQFN (RHB) package, identical pin functions, and share the same electrical and thermal specifications. The "I" in TUSB2046BIRHBRQ1 denotes TI's internal revision identifier and does not affect compatibility.
How does the EEPROM interface work on the TUSB2046BIRHBRQ1?
The TUSB2046BIRHBRQ1 uses the EXTMEM pin to enable its serial EEPROM interface: when EXTMEM = 0, pins 5 (EECLK) and 6 (EEDATA) become active 3-state I/Os for loading VID, PID, and GANGED settings from an M93C46-compatible EEPROM at power-on reset. When EXTMEM = 1, pin 6 serves as GANGED input and EECLK is disabled.
Does the TUSB2046BIRHBRQ1 require external power-management ICs?
Yes, the TUSB2046BIRHBRQ1 requires external power switches (e.g., TPS2044) to control 5-V power delivery to downstream ports. It provides PWRON outputs and OVRCUR inputs for coordination but does not integrate power FETs or overcurrent sensing circuitry-these remain external per USB specification requirements.
What clock sources are supported by the TUSB2046BIRHBRQ1?
The TUSB2046BIRHBRQ1 supports two clock configurations: a 6-MHz crystal (XTAL1/XTAL2) with internal APLL generating 48-MHz core timing, or a direct 48-MHz external clock applied to TSTPLL/48MCLK. TSTMODE pin selects between them; crystal mode enables low-power suspend/resume, while 48-MHz mode bypasses the APLL.
