The EZ-USB HX2LP is a high-speed USB 2.0 hub controller. The device delivers the EZ-USB LP family's outstanding low power consumption enabled by an advanced process technology developed to slash dynamic and standby power consumption by nearly 50 percent. As a result of the low dynamic power, peripherals using the new devices can operate from the power of the USB bus. The low standby current enables portable USB applications to significantly extend battery life. In addition the hub controller integrates many external passive components, such as pull-up and pull-down resistors, along with gang port power control to reduce the overall bill-of-materials required to implement a hub design. The EZ-USB HX2LP is USB-IF and Windows® Hardware-quality lab (WHQL)-compliant and in the CY7C65630 version pin-for-pin backward compatible with Cypress's TetraHub controller (CY7C65640A).
