PRODUCT FEATURES
General Description
The SMSC USB251x hub is a family of low-power, OEM
configurable, MTT (multi transaction translator)
1
hub
controller IC products for embedded USB solutions. The
“x” in the part number indicates the number of
downstream ports available. The SMSC hub supports
low-speed, full-speed, and hi-speed (if operating as a hi-
speed hub) downstream devices on all of the enabled
downstream ports.
For a summary of the products documented in this
datasheet, please refer to the
Chapter 1, "USB251x Hub
Family Differences Overview," on page 7.
