The GL3590-S is a highly configurable USB 3.2 Gen 2 hub controller that includes integrated USB Type-C functionality. This device supports various USB standards, ensuring backward compatibility with USB 3.1, 2.0, and 1.1 hosts, making it versatile for different application needs. It features native fast-charging capabilities, conforming to the USB-IF battery charging specification rev1.2, allowing devices to charge efficiently even in low-power states such as "Sleep" or "Power-off" modes.
The architecture of the GL3590-S includes a multiple Transaction Translator (TT) design that allocates dedicated TT control logic to each downstream port. This design provides optimal bandwidth scalability when multiple Full-Speed devices are connected, avoiding data traffic bottlenecks. With its USB Type-C support, the GL3590-S can manage up to four native USB Type-C ports, negating the need for additional external components.
This hub controller is engineered to optimize power management, featuring several configurations for USB charging modes and offering a wide range of packaging options suitable for diverse applications. The GL3590-S is particularly advantageous in scenarios requiring low BOM cost and high-speed data transfer compatibility.
