Chapter 3 Pin Descriptions
3.1 Pin Descriptions
This section provides a detailed description of each signal. The signals are arranged in functional
groups according to their associated interface.
The “N” symbol in the signal name indicates that the active, or asserted, state occurs when the signal
is at a low voltage level. When “N” is not present before the signal name, the signal is asserted when
at the high voltage level.
The terms assertion and negation are used exclusively. This is done to avoid confusion when working
with a mixture of “active low” and “active high” signals. The term assert, or assertion, indicates that a
signal is active, independent of whether that level is represented by a high or low voltage. The term
negate, or negation, indicates that a signal is inactive.

IO-U USB Bus Data
These pins connect to the upstream USB bus data signals such
as the Host port or upstream Hub.
VBUS_DET 27
I/O12 Detect Upstream VBUS Power
Detects state of Upstream VBUS power. The SMSC Hub
monitors VBUS_DET to determine when to assert the internal
D+ pull-up resistor which signals a connect event.
When designing a detachable Hub, this pin must be connected
to the VBUS power pin of the USB port that is upstream from
the Hub.
For self-powered applications with a permanently attached
host, this pin must be connected to 3.3V (typically VDD33).
