1.1 INTRODUCTION
The EVB-USB7206 is a demonstration and evaluation platform that provides the nec-
essary requirements and interface options for evaluating the USB7206, a 6-port
High-Speed (HS) USB smart hub on a 4-layer RoHS-compliant Printed Circuit Board
(PCB). This allows the user to gain an understanding of the product and accelerate the
integration of the USB7206 into the user’s design.
The EVB-USB7206 is compliant with the USB 2.0 HS, Full-Speed (FS), and Low-Speed
(LS) USB signaling. The EVB-USB7206 is also compliant with USB 3.2 Gen2 on the
upstream port and on downstream ports 1 to 5.
The evaluation platform supports six downstream ports: five Gen2 ports, and one
USB2.0 port with Type-A connectors. The EVB-USB7206 platform also supports bat-
tery charging on all six downstream ports (maximum of 10A; see Note 1) at any one
time. The EVB-USB7206 supports FlexConnect role reversal for any of the six down-
stream ports with the upstream port.
The EVB-USB7206 has four configurations for operation through internal default set-
tings and supports custom configurations either via I2C or through the external 16-Mbit
SPI Flash device.
The EVB-USB7206 demonstrates driver compatibility with Microsoft® Windows® 10,
Windows 8.x, Windows 7, Windows XP, Mac OS® X 10.4+, and Linux® hub drivers.

Chapter 2. Getting Started
2.1 INTRODUCTION
The Microchip EVB-USB7206 is designed for flexible configuration solutions. It can be
configured through default internal register settings, a downloadable external firmware
to an onboard SPI Flash (OTP memory), SMBus, and onboard configuration switches.
When configured with the default internal register settings, the device operates as a
USB 3.1 Gen1 hub with one upstream Gen1 port, two downstream Gen2 ports, and two
downstream USB 2.0 ports, with Microchip’s standard VID/PID/DID settings.
Microchip provides a comprehensive software programming tool, MPLAB® Connect
Configurator (MPLABCC), for configuring USB7206 functions, registers, and OTP
memory. USB7206 requires MPLABCC version 2.1.0 or greater.
For additional information on the MPLABCC programming tool, refer to Software
Libraries within the Microchip USB7206 product page at
www.microchip.com/USB7206.
2.2 KIT CONTENTS
The EVB-USB7206 Evaluation Kit includes the basic equipment necessary for evalua-
tion. The items included in the kit are:
• EVB-USB7206 Evaluation Board
• Type-A to Type-B USB Cable
2.3 QUICK START
To quickly start using the board, perform the following steps:
1. Connect a 12V power supply to the barrel connector (J4) or the terminal block
(52) on the EVB-USB7206.
2. Using a Type-A to Type-B USB cable, connect the EVB-USB7206 to a USB host
via the upstream “Port 0” USB Type-B socket (J1).
Devices may now be connected to any of the downstream ports to enumerate and use
those devices with the USB host.
To perform additional configuration or evaluate specific features, launch the MPLABCC
software on your USB host or manipulate the hardware configuration options detailed
in the next sections.

Chapter 3. EVB-USB7206 Evaluation Kit
3.1 HARDWARE CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
Figure 3-1 shows the top view of the EVB-USB7206.
FIGURE 3-1: EVB-USB7206 REV B (TOP VIEW)
3.1.1 Configuration
3.1.1.1 EXTERNAL SPI FLASH
Upon power-up, the USB7206 first looks for an external SPI ROM device and a valid
signature in the Flash. If one is found, the external ROM is enabled and code execution
is initiated from the external SPI ROM device.
To enable operation from the SPI device, install shunts to pins 1–2 and 3–4 of J7. When
code is executing from an SPI ROM device, a blue LED “SPI-ACTIVE” (D8) illuminates.
3.1.1.2 INTERNAL DEFAULT CONFIGURATIONS WITH STRAPPING OPTIONS
When the USB7206 does not detect a valid SPI Flash image and does not look for
SMBus2 configuration upon power-up, the USB7206 uses internal default register set-
tings. It also sets the Vendor ID, Product ID, Language ID, Device ID, and additional
settings from the internal ROM code.
If configuration is not done through SPI or SMBus2, additional configuration is available
through two functions: CFG_BC_EN and CFG_NON-REM. The controls are config-
ured by selecting one of the six resistor values for each pin. The EVB-USB7206
Note 1: CFG_BC and CFG_Non-Rem options are deselected when SPI shunts
are installed on J10. When operating in SPI mode, all configuration is
handled by the code executing from the SPI ROM device.
2: If the SPI Flash is not properly programmed or has an invalid signature,
the USB7206 reverts to internal defaults even if the SPI ROM is selected.

EVB-USB7206 Evaluation Kit User’s Guide
DS50002937A-page 16  2019 Microchip Technology Inc.
demonstrates two of the six possible resistor values for each of CFG_BC_EN and
CFG_NON-REM. These straps are sensed by the USB7206 device at power-on to
determine the resultant configuration of the device.
To select the CFG_BC_EN and CFG_NON-REM modes, shunts must be connected to
J12, J15, and J17 headers.
To use the battery charging strap options, connect a shunt to pins 2–3 of J12 and
another shunt to J15 according to Table 3-1. For the NON_REM strap options, connect
a shunt to pins 5 to 6 of J12 and connect a shunt to J17 according to Table 3-2.
3.1.2 Power Source – Self Powered
The EVB-USB7206 only supports self-powered operation. Power is supplied through
one +12.0V regulated external power supply. The power supply is connected to the
2.5 mm connector J1 on the board. Alternatively, an external voltage can be supplied
to the screw terminal “12V” (J2). The +12.0V feeds a 15A regulator that outputs +5.2V
(nominal) across the board and also supplies the +3.3V regulator and the 1.2V regula-
tor.
3.1.3 Downstream Port Power Control
USB power to the six downstream ports is controlled via port power controllers with
auto-discharge functionality. All downstream ports support BC 1.2 battery charging.
The two downstream USB Type-C® ports are each capable of up to 3A of current at 5V.
The two downstream USB Type-A ports are capable of up to 2.1A at 5V.
3.1.4 USB Type-C® Ports
The USB7206 has two USB3.1 Gen 1 PHYs for each Type-C port. This eliminates the
need for an external multiplexer. The USB7206 also features integrated Type-C control
signal (CC) detection to determine when and in what orientation a USB Type-C® attach
has been made. It powers only the USB3.1 GEN 1 PHY needed for USB communica-
tion. To reduce power, the USB7206 powers down unused USB3.1 Gen 1 PHYs. In
cases where no USB Type-C attach is detected, both USB3.1 Gen 1 PHYs associated
with that port are powered down.

CAUTION
The supplied 12.0V external power supply cannot support simultaneous battery
charging on all downstream ports. Use a higher power supply if the required test use
case exceeds the power capability of the supply. Failure to heed to this warning could
result in damage to the 12.0V external power supply.
