TUSB2046B Device Not Recognized

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TUSB2046B

Hi,


We are running into some trouble attempting to use the TUSB2046B on our USB 1.1 bus. At the moment we have the hub connected to a windows 7 machine for testing. The hub is running in self-powered mode using a 48 Mhz clock.  Our design is based on the IT reference schematic as well as the datasheet specifications. Our problem is with the following from the FAQ:

 Do we have pull-up on DP0 or DM0, and what is the difference between the two implementations ?
According to the USB specification, you must connect a pull-up resistor of 1.5 kΩ on D+ for a full-speed device or on D– for a low-speed device.

 

When we connect the 1.5 kΩ resistor to D- for low-speed devices our test units as well as the controller do not recognize the hub. However, if we move the resistor the D+ input the unit becomes functional. Any ideas why this is happening as we are using a low-speed bus ??

(Schematic can be provided to IT employee upon request) 

Thank you,

  • Just a quick update, so the hub functions properly under windows but once we connect it to our embedded Linux controller the hub is recognized, however, when a memory stick is plugged in, the ~USB_PORTX_PWRON and the ~USB_PORTX_OVERCUR are not asserted. Lastly we have tested the firmware with a standard hub on the usb 1.1 and it functions properly. Any help would be much appreciated. 

  • Hello Alex,

    I recommend you to populate the pull-up on D+, anyway it is going to be compatible with low-speed controllers.

    Does the problem on Linux occur also when you configure the hub as a full-speed device?

    Can you share your schematics for review?

    Regards.

  • Hi Elias,

    Thank you very much for the timely response, we swapped the chip which was being used for the Linux controller and now all is well with the pull-up on D+.
