Product details
Overview
TUSB5052PZ from Texas Instruments is a USB 1.1-compliant 5-port hub controller with dual enhanced UARTs and an integrated 8052 MCU, supporting 12-Mbps full-speed USB operation, 50–460.8-kbaud software-selectable UART rates, and 3.3/5-V dual-supply operation. It serves as a bridge between USB hosts and legacy serial peripherals in industrial gateways and embedded communication modules.
For engineers reviewing the TUSB5052PZ datasheet, TUSB5052PZ pinout, TUSB5052PZ application, or TUSB5052PZ equivalent, key selection criteria include its integrated 5-port hub topology, dual UART flow-control modes (Xon/Xoff, auto-RTS/CTS), RS485 transceiver control capability, and 100-pin TQFP package with GPIO, I²C, and DMA support.
Technical Context
The TUSB5052PZ implements a USB Serial Interface Engine (SIE) compliant with USB Specification Revision 1.1, managing upstream host communication and downstream port arbitration via an internal 5-port hub. Its dual UARTs feature independent baud-rate generators derived from an on-chip PLL fed by a 6-MHz crystal.
Control logic resides in an embedded 8052 core with 16K×8 loadable RAM, 6K×8 ROM boot loader, and 2K×8 synchronous SRAM for endpoint buffers and EDBs. The device supports external microcontroller interfacing via Port-0/Port-2 address/data bus mapping and provides four-channel DMA for bulk USB/UART transfers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| USB Compliance | USB 1.1 full-speed (12 Mbps); enables interoperability with legacy PC hosts and embedded USB hosts without USB 2.0 hardware. |
| UART Count & Type | Dual enhanced UARTs with hardware/software flow control, RS485 echo/non-echo mode, and 5–8-bit data framing - supports two independent serial device interfaces. |
| MCU Core | Integrated 8052 microcontroller with 16K×8 RAM (host-loadable), 6K×8 ROM boot loader, and 2K×8 SRAM for EDB/buffer storage - eliminates need for external firmware memory. |
| Supply Voltage | 3.3-V VCC core supply + 5-V VCCS I/O supply - allows direct interfacing with both 3.3-V logic and 5-V peripherals (e.g., RS232/RS485 transceivers). |
| Crystal Frequency | 6-MHz fundamental-mode crystal input (X1/X2) - generates internal 48/24 MHz USB clocks and 7.384615 MHz UART baud base via on-chip PLL. |
| Package | 100-pin TQFP (14 mm × 14 mm, 0.5-mm pitch) - provides full signal access including 8 GPIO pins, I²C master (SCL/SDA), 4 LED drivers, and 5 USB port differential pairs. |
| DMA Channels | Four independent DMA channels - offloads CPU during high-throughput USB ↔ UART bulk transfers, reducing firmware overhead and latency. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 100-pin TQFP (14 mm × 14 mm, 0.5-mm pitch), RoHS-compliant, lead-free, moisture-sensitive level 3.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

FAQ
What USB specification does the TUSB5052PZ comply with?
The TUSB5052PZ complies fully with USB Specification Revision 1.1 for full-speed operation at 12 Mbps. It implements a complete USB Serial Interface Engine (SIE), supports suspend/resume, and meets all electrical signaling requirements for upstream host connection and downstream port arbitration. The TUSB5052PZ does not support USB 2.0 Hi-Speed (480 Mbps) or later revisions.
Does the TUSB5052PZ support RS485 bus transceiver control?
Yes, the TUSB5052PZ provides dedicated hardware-assisted RS485 transceiver control for both UART channels. It automatically asserts and de-asserts direction-enable (DE) and receiver-enable (RE) signals based on transmit activity and echo configuration - eliminating firmware timing loops and ensuring reliable half-duplex bus turnaround. This function is documented in Section 2.2 and Figure 7−3 of the datasheet.
What are the power supply requirements for the TUSB5052PZ?
The TUSB5052PZ requires two independent supplies: 3.3 V ±5% on VCC (pins 7, 13, 36, 67, 88) for core logic, and 5 V ±5% on VCCS (pins 38, 55, 76) for I/O buffers, USB transceivers, and LED drivers. Both rails must be decoupled with 0.1-µF ceramic capacitors placed near each supply pin. The TUSB5052PZ does not operate from a single 3.3-V or 5-V rail alone.
Can the internal 8052 MCU of the TUSB5052PZ be replaced with an external microcontroller?
Yes, the TUSB5052PZ supports external microcontroller mode via TEST[2:0] = 110b (TEST0 = GND). In this mode, the internal 8052 is disabled, and external address/data bus signals (P0/P2) connect to pins P1.[7:0], P3.0, P3.1, P3.3, and P3.4 per Table 3−4. The USB hub and SIE remain fully functional under external firmware control - enabling custom protocol stacks or real-time OS integration.
What is the maximum UART baud rate supported by the TUSB5052PZ?
The TUSB5052PZ supports UART baud rates from 50 bps up to 460,800 bps, programmable via DLL/DLH register writes. The baud base is derived from a 7.384615-MHz clock generated by the on-chip PLL, allowing precise division for standard rates (e.g., 9600, 115200, 230400). Rates above 460.8 kbaud are not supported due to internal counter limits and timing constraints documented in Table 7−4.
