Custom USB 3.0 Hub

Custom USB 3.0 hub board with controlled-impedance routing and ESD protection.

USB 3.0High-speedLength TuningLTspice
// overview

Design Features 1 Upstream USB-C 3.0 Port, 2 downstream USB-C 3.0 Ports, 2 downstream USB-A 3.0 Ports and 2 downstream HDMI 1.4 ports.

Designed around a TUSB8041-Q1 Hub IC, STDP4320BA Dp Alt Mode 1:2 Splitter, TPS65987D USB-C PD Controller, and HD3SS460 Mux Controller

Routed with attention to controlled-impedance routing, length tuning, and isolation between ports for signal integrity at SuperSpeed speeds.

Specific differential impedence of 90Ω for USB-C and USB-A 3.0 data lines and 100Ω differential impedance for HDMI 1.4 lines, with careful length tuning to meet timing requirements and maintain signal integrity.

ESD and surge protection components placed strategically at connectors and along critical paths for safe operation and bring up.
