TUSB217ARWBR

TUSB217ARWBR is a Texas Instruments USB hub/controller IC (TUSB217A family) used to add USB connectivity in embedded systems. It typically combines a USB transceiver/PHY with hub logic in a compact package, providing an upstream port to a host and one or more downstream ports, with USB 2.0 (up to 480 Mbps) support.
Key features (typical): integrated VBUS power management, overcurrent protection, ESD protection, and low‑power modes to simplify board design.
The suffix RWBR denotes the exact package/reel packaging variant and RoHS-compliant packaging; check TI’s datasheet for exact pinout, mechanical details, and electrical specs.
Common applications: USB hubs in consumer electronics, docking stations, multimedia devices, and other embedded USB peripherals.
For precise specifications (port count, voltages, current limits, timing, and package details), consult the TI product page and the TUSB217A datasheet.

There isn’t a direct 1:1 equivalent for TUSB217ARWBR. Closest cross-references by USB‑C controller function are:

When selecting, compare CC/PD features, USB 2.0 routing, package, and current ratings. For an exact pin-compatible substitute, consult TI’s cross-reference or your distributor.

Here are the typical features of TI’s TUSB217ARWBR USB Type-C Port Controller:
- USB Type-C port controller with CC logic for orientation and role detection (DRP/DFP/Device)
- I2C (or SMBus-like) control interface for register-based configuration and status
- Controls external VBUS switches and VCONN, enabling/monitoring USB-C power delivery behavior
- CC pin management with configurable Rp/Rd for current advertisement
- VBUS monitoring with protection (overvoltage/undervoltage, overcurrent)
- VCONN control and VBUS discharge capability
- Supports USB 2.0 data path (D+/D−) handling through the Type-C port
- Low-power/standby operation with fast wake
- Compact package suitable for small devices (tape-and-reel option)
Note: For exact electrical specs, package details, and supported features, refer to the official datasheet for TUSB217ARWBR.

- Pin count: 8 pins (in the RWBR package)
- Function: TI TUSB217ARWBR is an 8‑pin USB Type‑C port controller/mux that provides a reversible USB 2.0 data path by multiplexing the D+/D− lines and handling CC (orientation) signaling for Type-C ports.

- Manufacturer: Texas Instruments (TI)
- What kind of company: An American multinational semiconductor company that designs and manufactures analog, digital, and embedded processing integrated circuits for automotive, communications, consumer electronics, industrial, and other markets.

Applications (TUSB217ARWBR):
- USB 2.0 hub solutions to expand connectivity in PCs, notebooks, and docking stations
