EVB-USB82514Q36-BAS 36-Pin QFN Evaluation Board User Manual (Revision C)
Revision 1.1 (07-13-11) 2 SMSC EVB-USB82514Q36-BAS
USER MANUAL
1 Overview
The SMSC Automotive Grade USB 2.0 4-Port Hub is designed, fabricated, tested, characterized and
qualified for automotive applications. The USB82514 MultiTRAK™ is a low-power, OEM configurable,
full featured Hi-Speed USB 2.0 compliant hub contnroller IC with four down-stream ports for embedded
USB solutions. The EVB-USB82514Q36-Bas 36-Pin QFN Evaluation Board demonstrates a stand
alone application for the hub with all the features listed below and demonstrates the advanced power
saving options and configurable port assignments.

mode chokes.
1.2 General Description
The EVB-USB82514Q36-BAS is a demonstration and low-cost evaluation platform featuring the
USB82514 4-port, low-power Hi-Speed USB2.0 Hub with MultiTRAK technology. The platform is
designed to robustly demonstrate the unique features of this device using a low-cost PCB
implementation with individual port power control. TheEVB-USB82514Q36-BAS is designed for low
cost, power efficient implementation of a Hi-Speed USB Hub with minimal bill of materials. Schematics,
layout, and bill of materials are included minimizing the customers new product development time.
Revision C of the EVB-USB82514Q36-BAS has a four-layer printed circuit board to improve coupling
between power and ground to reduce EMI. Ferrite beads have been added on all connector ground
and power nets. Protective diode bridges and common mode chokes were added to all USB signals.
