USB2422-CP - Low-Power 2-Port USB 2.0 Hub Controller | Microchip Technology
The Microchip Technology USB2422-CP is a low-power, single-transaction-translator USB 2.0 hub controller with two downstream ports, packaged in a 24-QFN (4x4 mm) package. It supports an upstream Hi-Speed and Full-Speed hub connection or a Full-Speed-only configuration, while downstream devices can operate at Low-Speed, Full-Speed, or Hi-Speed when configured as a Hi-Speed hub. The controller is designed for embedded USB expansion systems requiring compact bus routing and USB 2.0 compatibility. Its two-port architecture integrates downstream-port USB connectivity into one controller rather than requiring separate hub devices.
A USB hub controller is an interface IC within the broader USB interface-controller and semiconductor hierarchy. In an embedded system, the upstream port connects the hub to a host controller, while each downstream port connects external peripherals such as storage, keyboards, communications modules, or service interfaces. USB2422-CP acts as the transaction translator and hub-management element between those connections, helping the host system organize USB traffic across two ports. Its support for Full-Speed and Hi-Speed operation makes it relevant to legacy USB 2.0 embedded designs rather than modern USB 3.x or USB4 systems.
The principal verified feature set includes a 2-port USB 2.0 hub configuration, single transaction translator operation, upstream Hi-Speed and Full-Speed attachment capability, and downstream Low-Speed, Full-Speed, and Hi-Speed support. Microchip describes the device as low power, which is valuable in embedded equipment where USB expansion must not dominate the system power budget. The 24-QFN package provides a compact surface-mount footprint, but its exposed thermal and electrical requirements must be handled according to the manufacturer datasheet.
The controller is positioned between a USB host and downstream USB peripherals. When configured as a Hi-Speed hub, the upstream link and compatible downstream links can use USB 2.0 Hi-Speed operation; when used as a Full-Speed-only hub, the design avoids requiring Hi-Speed operation. Device attachment, removal, enumeration, and power-management behavior must be evaluated against the USB host software and the electrical requirements of the connected peripherals. The verified web data does not provide current unit pricing, stock status, lead time, detailed pin names, or all electrical timing and current limits, so those values are not inferred here.
Typical applications include embedded instrumentation, industrial control panels, compact USB expansion boards, peripheral consolidation, and USB connectivity in systems that already use a USB 2.0 host controller. A hub may be useful when a processor exposes one host port but the enclosure requires two external connections. The design should verify connector protection, power switching, cable length, chassis grounding, and host compatibility. The manufacturer datasheet is the authoritative source for pin assignments, electrical limits, configuration registers, and implementation details.
Use the USB2422-CP when the existing PCB is designed around its 24-QFN footprint and the application needs a compact two-port USB 2.0 hub controller. Confirm package pin compatibility, operating conditions, and USB host requirements before treating any substitute as a drop-in replacement.
This page combines verified manufacturer descriptions, distributor package information, datasheet references, application context, and procurement guidance. It distinguishes documented facts from missing parameters and avoids inventing prices, pin assignments, electrical limits, or replacement parts.
