Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TUSB4041I, TUSB2046B
Hello,
We are planning to connect multi MCUs through Micro USB to a computer. We have tried on existing USB hub devices in the market (24 channel) and it works fine. Now, we have to design our HUB, with almost 28 USBs. I am wondering if we can make it by a 1:4 downstream USB hub (like TUSB2046) and then connect each output to the input of TUSB2077A USB hub, to make a 4*7=28 down-streamed USBs.
Our MCUs only transfer some KByte data, as USBUART transfer and receive data. They are not transmitting continuously but are plugged and unplugged many times (maybe twice a day) to download the data and charge the battery. We need the USB power less than 100mA for each USB port. So, in general, need a bigger power supply to support 28*100 mA.
I do appreciate your suggestions for IC selection and design guidelines (there are some 1:4 ICs). And, do I need to have an EEPROM memory or any serial configuration for our design?
Thank you
