EZ-USB™ HX3PD USB 10 Gbps Hub Controller with USB Power Delivery

Overview

Industry's first 7-Port USB 10Gbps hub controller IC with Power Delivery

EZ-USB™ HX3PD is the industry's first 7-port USB 10 Gbps Type-C Hub controller with Power Delivery, supporting two USB-C + PD ports (one upstream and one downstream), and five downstream USB 10 Gbps ports.

EZ-USB™ HX3PD is Infineon's most integrated USB 10 Gbps hub, integrating five chips (two 4-port USB hub controller, two USB PD controllers, dock management controller) into one, reducing BOM cost and solution footprint and making it ideal for USB-C dongles, docks and monitors. EZ-USB™ HX3PD's configurable USB 10 Gbps and USB 2.0 PHY improve signal quality, giving board designers more flexibility and making USB-IF compliance easier.
