TUSB8040A EVM work with USB2.0 mode...

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TUSB8040A

Dear sirs,

My customer feedback that they test USB3.0 devices with TUSB8040A EVM but found some devices only work with USB2.0 mode.

Please give me some directions that where and what should I check for this issue!

Thanks. 

  • Hi Peter,

    Please provide more information on which devices are dropping to USB 2.0 mode?  Can you confirm if the power supply for the hub is 3A @ 5V?  If a 1A @ 5V power supply is used, the downstream ports may drop off and reconnect at the slower USB 2.0 speeds.

    Regards,

    Julie

  • Hi Julie,

    Customer used device is Asix USB3.0 Giga LAN, and Transcend USB3.0 HDD!

    About the power supply, I will check again!

    Besides the power issue, are there any other points for checking?

    Thanks. 

  • Hi Peter,

    We have done a lot of testing with Transcend USB 3.0 HDD and there is no issue.  Can you confirm that the USB 3.0 Host controller has loaded the USB 3.0 hub drivers correctly?  If you send a screen capture of device manager with the USB portion expanded, I can check it for you.  I have orderd the Asix device for testing.

    Regards,

    Julie

  • Dear Julie,

    Thanks for your information.

    I will check them with customer.

    BTW, as customer feedback, TUSB8040A will be only usb2.0 after reboot/hibernate under Intel usb3.0 host of IVY bridge!

    Did you has been test with same condition?

    Thanks. 

  • Peter,

    We saw this issue with an early version of the intel driver, it was fixed with a later version.  Can you confirm the Intel driver revision that is failing?

  • Hi Peter,

    We are now tracking this issue directly, not through the E2E forum.  The dongle has been delivered and we are setting up a system test for further debug.

    Contact me through USB3_Support@ti.com  if you have not been included on the direct email thread.
