Product details
Overview
TUSB8040RKMR from Texas Instruments is a USB 3.0-compliant four-port hub IC supporting simultaneous SuperSpeed (5 Gbps), High-Speed (480 Mbps), and Full-Speed/Low-Speed (12/1.5 Mbps) upstream connectivity, with per-port SuperSpeed/HS/FS/LS downstream capability, integrated Multi-Transaction Translator (MTT), and industrial temperature range (–40°C to 85°C) operation in a 100-pin QFN package - deployed in embedded docking stations, industrial USB expansion modules, and multi-peripheral test fixtures.
For engineers reviewing the TUSB8040RKMR datasheet, TUSB8040RKMR pinout, TUSB8040RKMR application, or TUSB8040RKMR equivalent, key selection criteria include per-port power switching support, Battery Charging 1.2 compliance, I²C/SMBus configurability for VID/PID/strings, 24-MHz single-clock input, and USB 3.0 TID# 330000003 certification.
Technical Context
The TUSB8040RKMR implements a dual-mode USB hub architecture: its USB 3.0 SuperSpeed path operates independently from its USB 2.0 high-speed/full-speed path, each with dedicated PHYs and transaction translators. It integrates four asynchronous endpoint buffers per transaction translator to maximize throughput under mixed-speed traffic.
Configuration is handled via pin strapping, external I²C EEPROM, or SMBus slave interface - enabling runtime customization of vendor/product strings, serial number, port enable/disable states, removable/permanent attachment flags, and battery charging enablement per downstream port. The Device Status and Command Register (F8h) remains write-only and non-EEPROM-modifiable.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| USB Compliance | USB 3.0 specification compliant; certified TID# 330000003 - ensures interoperability with host controllers and devices across SuperSpeed, HS, FS, and LS modes. |
| Port Count | Four configurable downstream ports - supports reporting 1–4 ports via pin selection or EEPROM, enabling scalable integration in space-constrained designs. |
| Data Rates | Upstream: 5 Gbps (SS), 480 Mbps (HS), 12/1.5 Mbps (FS/LS); Downstream: identical per port - enables mixed-speed peripheral connectivity without protocol translation bottlenecks. |
| Power Switching | Per-port power switching and over-current protection - allows independent port power control and fault isolation, critical for reliable peripheral hot-swap in industrial systems. |
| Configuration Interface | I²C EEPROM or SMBus slave (configurable address) - supports field-updatable VID/PID, manufacturer/product strings, and serial number without firmware changes. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments where thermal stability and long-term reliability are required. |
| Clock Input | Single 24-MHz crystal or oscillator - eliminates need for multiple clock sources and simplifies board layout and BOM. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 100-pin QFN (RKM), 9 mm × 9 mm, 0.5-mm pitch, exposed thermal pad - optimized for thermal dissipation in compact USB hub applications requiring industrial-grade reliability.

| USB_SSRXP_DN0 / USB_SSRXM_DN0 | SuperSpeed RX differential pair (Port 0) | Receives 5-Gbps differential signals from Port 0; includes on-die termination for signal integrity. |
| PWRON0z_BATEN0 | Port 0 power-on & battery charge enable | Active-low output controlling external power switch; sampled at reset to configure Battery Charging 1.2 support for Port 0. |
| OVERCUR0z | Port 0 over-current detection input | Active-low interrupt indicating over-current event on Port 0; enables selective port shutdown without affecting other ports. |
| SCL_SMBCLK / SDA_SMBDAT | I²C/SMBus configuration interface | Supports EEPROM programming and runtime register access for custom VID/PID, strings, and port configuration. |
| GRSTz | Global reset input | Asynchronous active-low reset requiring ≥3 ms assertion after power rails stabilize; resets all internal registers to defaults. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Multi-Transaction Translator (MTT) | Four independent TTs (one per port) eliminate bandwidth contention between low-speed/full-speed devices sharing a hub, improving aggregate throughput. |
| Battery Charging 1.2 Support | Enables CDP (Charging Downstream Port) mode per port - allows direct charging of smartphones/tablets without host enumeration delay. |
| Configurable SMBus Address | Allows up to eight TUSB8040RKMR devices on a single SMBus segment - essential for multi-hub chassis or modular backplane architectures. |
| 128-bit UUID | Provides unique device identification for firmware update tracking, asset management, and secure provisioning in fleet-deployed systems. |
| On-board EEPROM Programming | Supports in-system programming via USB 2.0 upstream port - eliminates need for external programmers during manufacturing or field updates. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| USB3503A-AEZG | 3-port USB 3.0 hub; integrated 5-V LDO; no per-port power switching - ganged only. | Targeted at cost-sensitive consumer docks; lacks industrial temp rating and CDP support. | Select when BOM cost reduction outweighs per-port control and industrial qualification needs. |
| UPD720202K8-711-BAC-A | 4-port USB 3.0 hub; supports USB 2.0 only on downstream ports; no SuperSpeed downstream capability. | Used in legacy upgrade paths where downstream devices are USB 2.0 only; no 5-Gbps path to peripherals. | Choose when downstream peripherals do not require SuperSpeed bandwidth but full USB 3.0 upstream compatibility is mandatory. |
Compared with USB3503A-AEZG and UPD720202K8-711-BAC-A, the TUSB8040RKMR uniquely delivers full SuperSpeed on all four downstream ports with per-port power management and industrial temperature support - making it the only option for high-bandwidth, fault-tolerant, and thermally demanding embedded USB expansion.

FAQ
What USB speed modes does the TUSB8040RKMR support on its upstream and downstream ports?
The TUSB8040RKMR 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 speed modes - enabling mixed-speed peripheral connectivity without protocol translation bottlenecks. This capability is confirmed in Section 1.1 of the SLLSE42F datasheet and validated by its USB-IF TID# 330000003 certification.
Does the TUSB8040RKMR support per-port power switching and over-current protection?
Yes, the TUSB8040RKMR supports per-port power switching and over-current protection - a key differentiator from ganged-only alternatives. Pins PWRON0z_BATEN0 through PWRON3z_BATEN3 and OVERCUR0z through OVERCUR3z provide independent control and monitoring for each downstream port. This feature is explicitly documented in Section 1.3 and Table 2-3 of the SLLSE42F datasheet for the RKM package.
Can the TUSB8040RKMR be configured without an external EEPROM?
Yes, the TUSB8040RKMR supports configuration via pin strapping for basic settings (e.g., port enable/disable, removable flag), eliminating the need for external EEPROM in simple applications. However, full customization - including VID/PID, manufacturer/product strings, and serial number - requires either I²C EEPROM or SMBus host programming, as detailed in Sections 3.1–3.2 and Table 2-4 of the SLLSE42F datasheet.
What is the operating temperature range of the TUSB8040RKMR?
The TUSB8040RKMR is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C. This specification applies specifically to the RKM (100-pin QFN) variant, as stated in Section 1.2 of the SLLSE42F datasheet. The alternate PFP (80-pin QFP) variant is rated for commercial temperature (0°C to 70°C) only.
How does the TUSB8040RKMR handle USB Battery Charging 1.2 compliance?
The TUSB8040RKMR implements Battery Charging 1.2 compliance per downstream port via dedicated BATENx pins (e.g., PWRON0z_BATEN0), which configure the Battery Charging Support Register during reset sampling. This enables Charging Downstream Port (CDP) mode - allowing direct charging of smartphones and tablets without host enumeration. The functionality is verified in Section 1.1 Features and Section 2.3 Pin Descriptions of the SLLSE42F datasheet.
