Description

Product Overview

The VL813-Q7 is a SuperSpeed USB 3.0 hub controller from VIA Labs, Inc. (VLI), a leading supplier of USB connectivity solutions. The VL813 is a 4-port USB 3.0 hub controller that integrates all necessary functions for a USB 3.0 hub implementation, including SuperSpeed (5 Gbps), High-Speed (480 Mbps), Full-Speed (12 Mbps), and Low-Speed (1.5 Mbps) support on both upstream and downstream ports.

Packaged in a 76-pin QFN (Q7 suffix) package measuring 9 mm × 9 mm with 0.4 mm pitch, the VL813 features VIA Labs’ in-house designed USB 3.0 PHY with advanced CMOS technology for low power consumption and high signal integrity. The device supports full USB 3.0 hub compliance including hub class requests, multiple TT (Transaction Translator) architecture for USB 2.0 traffic, and various low-power management modes including U0, U1, U2, U3, and selective suspend.

The VL813-Q7 integrates a 5V to 3.3V/1.2V DC-DC converter, reducing external component count and BOM cost. It also features integrated battery charging (BC1.2) support on downstream ports, allowing connected devices to charge at higher currents when the hub is in standby or when only the charging function is needed. The device operates from a single 5V supply and supports both self-powered and bus-powered hub configurations, making it highly versatile for a wide range of USB hub applications.

The VL813-Q7 is a high-performance SuperSpeed USB 3.0 4-port hub controller from VIA Labs, Inc. (VLI), a fabless semiconductor company specializing in USB connectivity solutions. As one of VLI’s most popular USB 3.0 hub controllers, the VL813 provides a complete single-chip solution for adding USB 3.0 hub functionality to a wide variety of products.

The VL813 supports the full USB 3.0 SuperSpeed data rate of 5 Gbps on both the upstream and all four downstream ports. It maintains full backward compatibility with USB 2.0, USB 1.1, and USB 1.0 devices, supporting High-Speed (480Mbps), Full-Speed (12Mbps), and Low-Speed (1.5Mbps) operation. The device features a Multi-TT (Transaction Translator) architecture, which ensures that USB 2.0 devices on different downstream ports can operate at full bandwidth simultaneously, without sharing the USB 2.0 bandwidth as single-TT hubs do.

A key advantage of the VL813 is its high level of integration. The device includes VIA Labs’ proprietary in-house USB 3.0 PHY, known for low power consumption and excellent signal integrity, reducing the need for external signal conditioning components. It also integrates 5V-to-3.3V and 5V-to-1.2V DC-DC converters, allowing the entire hub to operate from a single 5V supply and minimizing the number of external power components required.

The VL813 supports USB Battery Charging Specification 1.2 (BC1.2), enabling downstream ports to charge connected devices at higher currents (up to 1.5A for DCP mode) when the system is in standby or when charging-only mode is activated. This feature is particularly valuable in docking stations, monitor hubs, and desktop hubs.

Available in a 76-pin QFN package (9mm x 9mm) with 0.4mm pitch, the VL813-Q7 provides a compact, cost-effective solution for USB 3.0 hub implementations across consumer, industrial, and computing applications.

The VL813 USB 3.0 hub controller operates through several key functional blocks:

1. USB 3.0 Upstream Port: The upstream port connects to the host computer or a higher-level hub. It handles SuperSpeed (5Gbps) traffic using differential signaling on two pairs (TX and RX). The port is fully compliant with the USB 3.0 specification including link layer, protocol layer, and hub class requests.

2. USB 3.0 Downstream Ports: Four SuperSpeed downstream ports each have their own USB 3.0 PHY. The hub controller manages the routing of SuperSpeed packets between the upstream port and the appropriate downstream port(s), handling hub-specific functions such as split transactions, broadcast, and selective suspend.

3. USB 2.0 Hub Function: Integrated within the VL813 is a complete USB 2.0 hub supporting HS/FS/LS speeds. The Multi-TT architecture provides dedicated Transaction Translators for each downstream port, preventing USB 2.0 devices from blocking each other and maintaining full bandwidth per port.

4. Hub Controller Logic: The main controller logic handles all hub-level functions including configuration, power management, port status monitoring, over-current detection, and LED control. It manages both USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 hub functions in a coordinated manner.

5. Power Management: The VL813 supports all USB 3.0 power management states (U0 active, U1/U2 low-power states, U3 suspend). It also supports USB Link Power Management (LPM) and selective suspend, allowing individual ports to enter low-power states while others remain active.

6. Integrated Regulators: Built-in DC-DC converters generate the 3.3V and 1.2V supplies needed by the internal logic and PHY from the 5V system supply. This reduces BOM cost and board space by eliminating the need for external regulators.

7. Battery Charging (BC1.2): The downstream ports support Battery Charging Specification 1.2, with both CDP (Charging Downstream Port) and DCP (Dedicated Charging Port) modes, enabling faster charging of smartphones, tablets, and other USB-charged devices.
