As a leader in the semiconductor industry, TI is the only provider of all of the ICs required to design, develop, and manufacture a USB HUB. USB hubs require a controller to handle data and power management, low drop-out regulators for the 3.3-V operation off of the 5-V voltage bus, data line transient suppressors for the hot plug transients, and power distribution switches for the voltage busses and embedded functions.

Power distribution switches: TPS2014/15
Because the TUSB2xxx USB controllers are designed to manage power in ganged and non-ganged configurations, TI offers the TPS20xx power distribution switches with various current ratings. This allows the designer to choose between providing a separate switch for each output port, or distribute all of the power through a higher current switch. The switches also incorporate the overcurrent response required by the USB specification as well as over-temperature protection.

Low drop-out regulators: TPS7X33
USB distributes both data and power. The voltage bus is specified at two different levels 4.75-V minimum out of a self powered host or hub and 4.40-V minimum out of a self powered hub. Since most USB controllers as well as the associated embedded functions run at 3.3 V, an LDO is required in each bus-powered device. Due to voltage drops and droops under certain conditions the minimum voltage seen by the device could be as low as 3.82 V, and the device must maintain operation at this level of input.

Transient suppression: SN75240
USB is truly a "hot-plug" interface, this means that the interconnecting cables can be plug/unplugged any time, even while the system is in full operation. There are many transients associated with a hot plug event. The transients on the power lines are handled by bulk capacitance, but data lines need a more dynamic solution. The low leakage current and ultra-fast response time of the SN75240 provides the ideal solution USB is looking for.
