Note
1. Pins OVCJ[7:2] are equipped with optional internal pull-up resistors. When certain OVCJ
pin is not required by currently configured over-current protection mode, its internal pull-up
resistor will be applied so that pin can be left as unconnected on the board. Otherwise,
when certain OVCJ pin is used by currently configured over-current protection mode, its
pull-up resistor will be removed so that it could be used to monitor either 3.3V or 5V input
from external application circuit.
2. During power up configuration stage, pins PWRJ[7:6] are used as input with internal
pull-up resistors. Once passed that stage, they will be configured as open drain output.
3. During power up configuration stage, pins LED[4:2] and LED[7:6] are used as input
with internal pull-up resistor. Once passed that stage, they will be configured as
CMOS output.
4. During power up configuration stage, pin LED[1] is used as CMOS tristate I/O to work
with the external EEPROM as serial clock. Once passed that stage, it is used as CMOS
output.

CONFIGURABLE OPTIONS
The FE2.1 is a highly versatile design that can be configured to meet many varieties of
implementation requirement in a rather easy way. The behavior of FE2.1 can be configured by
either board design selected options or through contents of external EEPROM.
According to USB 2.0 Specification, the status of each downstream port is shown by two LED
indicators – the Green and Amber LED. FE2.1 supports the full function as specified by DRV
and LED[7:1] pins. Fig. 4 shows how these port status indicators be connected, together with the
external EEPROM and the Hub Active Indicator (the Red LED).

The optional Hub Active Indicator is only turned on when the hub is configured by the host, and
turned off when the hub is either set into suspend mode, disconnected, or powered off by the host.
Any of these fifteen LED's could be removed without effecting the normal function of the hub.
The LED[7:1] pins could also be used to configure the number of downstream facing port and
non-removable downstream devices. These option selections are sampled and loaded each time
after chip reset. If an alternate configuration is intended, the corresponding pins should be tied
to ground as shown in the following table. Otherwise, denoted as Normal in the following
tables, they could be either left floating or connected to the LED's as shown by Fig. 4.
Setting the number of Downstream Facing Port by tying any of LED[7:6] to ground will change
the bNbrPorts field (3rd byte) of Hub Descriptor as response to host's GetHubDescriptor request.
Henceforth the ports beyond the specified number will not be recognized nor activated by the host.
Fig. 5 depicts an example that enable 5 downstream facing ports only, with port 3 and 2 as non-
removable device. As shown, the LED[4] is connected to the LED's, LED[2] left floating, and
LED[3] tied to ground, so that the FE2.1 would recognize that port 3 and 2 are non-removable
devices. The LED[6] is tied to ground and LED[7] left floating, thus the FE2.1 will report to
system that only 5 ports are available in this hub.

Red Hub Active Indicator
The FE2.1 supports optional power switches that control delivery of power downstream facing
ports by way of a set of active low, open drain, control pins, PWRJ[7:1]. With external pull-up
resistors to either 5V or 3.3V, system designers could choice from a wide variety of circuit to
implement the power switches.
As self-powered hub, over-current protection is a must for safety reasons. The FE2.1 provides a
set of input pins, OVCJ[7:1], to monitor status of external over-current detection circuit. The
over-current status will than be reported to the host hub driver by FE2.1. Depends on the power
control mode actually selected, the unused OVCJ pins will be internally pull-up and left
unconnected on board.
The FE2.1 supports three types of power control modes, namely Individual Mode, Multiple
Gangs Mode, and Ganged Mode. These modes could be configured by tying either or both of
PWRJ[7:6] to ground according to the following table.
In the Individual Mode, the power switch of each port is controlled individually, and the over-
current status is reported on a per-port basis. That is, for each port N, the power switch is
controlled by PWRJ[N], and the over-current status is monitored by OVCJ[N].

In the Ganged Mode, the power switch to all ports are controlled by one single PWRJ[1], and the
over-current is monitored by OVCJ[1]. Therefore, when host issues
SetPortFeature(PORT_POWER) to any of the downstream facing port, the PWRJ[1] will go
active, and only when all ports are in powered-off state that PWRJ[1] will be turned inactive.
Since there is only one OVCJ input, all downstream facing ports will be marked as over-current
simultaneously and set to powered-off state.
The Multiple Gangs Mode has one more over-current status pin, OVCJ[5], then the Ganged Mode.
If OVCJ[1] goes low, downstream facing port 1, 2, 3, and 4 would be marked as over-current. If
OVCJ[5] goes low, downstream facing port 5, 6, and 7 would be marked as over-current. Since
there is only one PWRJ pin, all ports will be switched to powered-off state at once. This is the only
mode supported by LQFP-48 package of FE2.1.
The power control mode selection is reported to the host software through the wHubCharacteristics
field, the 4th and 5th byte, of Hub Descriptor, which describes the hub's operational characteristics.
Two bit-fields would be effected – “D1..D0” for Logical Power Switching Mode, and “D4..D3” for
Over-current Protection Mode. In “D1..D0”, 00 means ganged power switching (all ports' power at
the once,) and 01 means individual port power switching. In “D4..D3”, 00 represents global over-
current protection, and 01 represents individual port over-current protection.
Fig. 7 & Fig. 8 demonstrate LQFP-64 implementations of Ganged Mode and Multiple Gangs Mode
with power switches.

EEPROM CONTENTS
The first two bytes are the check code for the existence of EEPROM, their value must be 0x1A40.
Any other value would cause the EEPROM loading mechanism of FE2.1 to conclude that the
contents of this EEPROM is unusable, and use default values instead.
The string descriptor for device's serial number could be defined by Device Serial Number and
Length of Serial Number fields of the EEPROM, address 0x08 to 0x18. Length of Serial Number
field, address 0x18, define the number of digits, while Device Serial Number field, address 0x08 to
0x17, specify the serial number in ASCII code. The space after the specified number of digits
should be filled with Null, 0x00. For example, suppose the serial number is “A090108F4”, then
the EEPROM should be like:
0x08 0x41 (A) 0x30 (0) 0x39 (9) 0x30 (0) 0x31 (1) 0x30 (0) 0x38 (8) 0x46 (F)
0x10 0x34 (4) 0x00 (Null) 0x00 (Null) 0x00 (Null) 0x00 (Null) 0x00 (Null) 0x00 (Null) 0x00 (Null)
0x18 0x09
The last byte, address 0x1F, is a checksum made up of the sum of all value from 0x00 to 0x1E.
The numbers must match to render the contents of the EEPROM usable. Otherwise, the loading
mechanism of FE2.1 would discard the value from EEPROM and use default values instead.
