Product details
Overview
TUSB8040A1 from Texas Instruments is a USB 3.0–compliant four-port hub IC with simultaneous SuperSpeed (5 Gbps) and high-speed (480 Mbps) upstream connectivity, supporting up to four downstream ports each configurable for SuperSpeed, high-speed, full-speed, or low-speed operation; it integrates MTT architecture with four transaction translators and operates across 0°C to 70°C in computer docking stations and monitor hubs.
For engineers reviewing the TUSB8040A1 datasheet, TUSB8040A1 pinout, TUSB8040A1 application, or TUSB8040A1 equivalent, key selection considerations include per-port power switching control, battery charging support (CDP/DCP), SMBus/EEPROM configurability, 100-pin WQFN package layout, and dual-mode USB 2.0/3.0 compound device operation.
Technical Context
The TUSB8040A1 implements a dual-domain architecture: a dedicated USB 2.0 hub with four independent transaction translators (MTT), each backed by four asynchronous endpoint buffers, and a parallel SuperSpeed hub supporting U1/U2 low-power states. Its upstream port dynamically negotiates link speed-enabling or disabling SuperSpeed and high-speed downstream lanes based on upstream electrical environment detection.
Configuration is flexible via pin strapping, I²C EEPROM, or SMBus target interface, allowing runtime control of port enable/disable, removable/permanent attachment status, battery charging enablement, and LED indicator behavior. The device uses a single 24-MHz clock source and supports both ganged and per-port power management with overcurrent detection inputs.

Applications
| Computer Docking Stations | External Monitor Hubs |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: A compact desktop dock connects laptop via single USB-C/3.0 cable and expands to multiple peripherals including SSDs, Ethernet, and audio. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TUSB8040A1 acts as the central USB 3.0 hub, managing bandwidth allocation between SuperSpeed storage and high-speed HID devices while maintaining low-latency timing for display data tunneling. Use Value: Enables full utilization of USB 3.0 bandwidth across four downstream ports with MTT architecture, avoiding transaction translator contention seen in single-TT hubs. | Use Scenario: A 4K monitor integrates USB hub functionality to provide peripheral connectivity (keyboard, webcam, headset) alongside video input. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TUSB8040A1 serves as embedded hub controller, coordinating USB 2.0 HID traffic and USB 3.0 auxiliary data (e.g., monitor firmware updates) with precise suspend/resume synchronization to display power states. Use Value: Dual-mode operation allows seamless fallback to USB 2.0 when upstream host lacks SuperSpeed capability-ensuring compatibility without redesign. |
| Set-Top Box Expansion | Industrial Thin Client Terminals |
Use Scenario: A media streaming box adds USB peripherals like wireless adapters, storage drives, and IR blasters via front-panel ports. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TUSB8040A1 functions as managed expansion hub, using per-port PWRONz and OVERCURz signals to isolate faulty devices and maintain system uptime during hot-plug events. Use Value: Ganged power control (via GANGED_SMBA2) simplifies BOM by enabling single MOSFET per port group instead of four discrete switches. | Use Scenario: A fanless industrial terminal requires reliable USB peripheral attachment (barcode scanner, magnetic stripe reader, printer) in temperature-variable environments. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TUSB8040A1 operates as ruggedized hub IC, leveraging its 0°C–70°C rating and robust ESD protection (±1000 V HBM) to withstand factory-floor electrostatic conditions. Use Value: Configurable SMBus address bits (SMBA1–SMBA3) allow daisy-chaining multiple TUSB8040A1 devices on one bus for scalable multi-hub systems. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar USB 3.0 hub applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| USB2514B-AEZG | USB 2.0-only quad-port hub; no SuperSpeed support; integrated 3.3-V LDO; smaller 48-QFN package | Targeted at cost-sensitive, bandwidth-limited applications where 480 Mbps suffices and PCB space is constrained | Select when SuperSpeed is unnecessary and lower BOM cost or smaller footprint outweighs future-proofing |
| TUSB8041A1RKM | Pin-compatible variant with identical 100-WQFN package; differs only in internal ROM configuration-supports same features and electrical specs | No functional difference in design-in; used interchangeably in new designs per TI documentation | Valid drop-in alternative with identical pinout, timing, and thermal behavior-no layout or firmware changes required |
Compared with USB2514B-AEZG, the TUSB8040A1 delivers 10× higher bandwidth and native USB 3.0 compliance, while TUSB8041A1RKM offers identical performance with minor ROM-level differentiation-making it a true pin-to-pin replacement for new production builds.

FAQ
What USB speeds does the TUSB8040A1 support on its upstream and downstream ports?
The TUSB8040A1 supports SuperSpeed (5 Gbps), high-speed (480 Mbps), full-speed (12 Mbps), and low-speed (1.5 Mbps) on its upstream port. Each of its four downstream ports independently supports all four speeds. Downstream SuperSpeed and high-speed capabilities are automatically disabled when the upstream port detects only full-speed or low-speed signaling-ensuring strict USB specification compliance without manual configuration. This behavior is hardwired in the TUSB8040A1 silicon.
Does the TUSB8040A1 require an external EEPROM to operate?
No, the TUSB8040A1 operates without external EEPROM. It boots with default configuration values stored in internal ROM-including VID/PID 0x0451/0x8040 and generic manufacturer/product strings. EEPROM is optional and used only to customize identifiers, enable/disable features (e.g., U1/U2 entry), or configure port-specific attributes like battery charging or removability. The TUSB8040A1 remains fully functional in pin-strapped mode.
How does the TUSB8040A1 handle battery charging for connected devices?
The TUSB8040A1 implements USB Battery Charging Specification 1.2: when the upstream port is connected, it identifies as a Charging Downstream Port (CDP); when upstream is disconnected, it defaults to Dedicated Charging Port (DCP) per YD/T 1591-2009. Per-port BATENx pins (sampled at reset) determine charging enablement. No external charger IC is needed-the TUSB8040A1 directly controls downstream VBUS switching and reports charging capability to the host via standard USB descriptors.
Can the TUSB8040A1 be used in a USB 2.0–only system?
Yes, the TUSB8040A1 operates fully as a USB 2.0 hub when upstream connection is limited to high-speed or lower. Its USB 2.0 domain remains active and compliant-supporting MTT, four transaction translators, and full USB 2.0 feature set-including suspend/resume, remote wakeup, and battery charging-even with no SuperSpeed signaling. The TUSB8040A1 does not require SuperSpeed infrastructure to function, making it backward-compatible across legacy and modern hosts.
What is the purpose of the GRSTz pin on the TUSB8040A1, and how must it be driven?
The GRSTz pin is the global reset input for the TUSB8040A1. It is an active-low, internally pulled-up signal that must be asserted for a minimum of 3 ms after all power rails (VDD and VDD33) reach valid levels. During GRSTz assertion, the TUSB8040A1 is nonfunctional and all internal registers reset to default states. A clean, monotonic deassertion is required-TI recommends using a dedicated reset supervisor IC or RC circuit with ≥3 ms time constant to ensure reliable initialization of the TUSB8040A1.
