Chapter 5 Modes of Operation
The device provides two main modes of operation: Standby Mode and Hub Mode. The operating mode
of the device is selected by setting values on primary inputs according to the table below.
Note: Refer to Section 8.3.2, "External Chip Reset (RESET_N)," on page 37 for additional information
on RESET_N.
The flowchart in Figure 5.1 shows the modes of operation. It also shows how the device traverses
through the Hub mode stages (shown in bold.) The flow of control is dictated by control register bits
shown in italics as well as other events such as availability of a reference clock. The remaining sections
in this chapter provide more detail on each stage and mode of operation.

charger detection. Power consumption is based on the number of active ports,
their speed, and amount of data transferred.
