SKIDERFlex Tiny USB Hub
General Description
The SKIDERFlex Tiny USB Hub is a tiny USB Hub with 4 downstream ports. It utilizes the SKIDERFlex mounting system with various castellated holes for easy and rapid integration in every project or product. You will not have to fiddle with tiny SMD componentens to integrate this USB Hub into your design.
Features
- 4 downstream USB 2.0 ports
- 1 upstream USB 2.0 ports
- supports low-speed, full-speed, and hi-speed devices
- external 3.3V supply
- supports industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C)
- no external components needed for basic operation (except power supply and connections)
- tiny form factor (12.7mm x 17.8mm)
- compatible with breadboards (only for testing / could affect signal quality)
Operating Instructions
The USB upstream and downstream ports do not implement any protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and should therefore only be used with according protection circuits. A suitable connector which includes the required protection circuit can be purchased at shop.skider.de/FLEX-USBC0-1.

Mechanical Drawing
Typical Application
The SKIDERFlex Tiny USB Hub is intended for use on an application specific circuit board. Premade circuit boards can be acquired at shop.skider.de/FLEX-REF0-1 (link to be verified). If you want to integrate the SKIDERFlex Tiny USB Hub into your own design, a KiCad Library can be found at support.skider.de/library (link to be verified). If you choose to integrate it into your own design, just connect the respective pins to their according lanes. No filter capacitors or termination resistors are needed. The nRST pin is usally not needed and can be left floating.
If you need to integrate a suitable +3.3V power supply into your design check out our respective module at shop.skider.de/FLEX-P3V0-1 (link to be verified)
