FE8.1 — USB 2.0 4-Port STT Hub Controller
FE8.1 is an extremely compact High Speed 4-Port USB Hub Controller that always reports itself as a Self-Powered hub, regardless of the actual system implementation. It is the best choice for embedded systems and standalone hub.
Minimal Pin Count
FE8.1 is a highly integrated, high-quality, and high-performance USB 2.0 solution with only 16 pins and a 4x5 mm body size.
Quality is guaranteed by Design-For-Testing with comprehensive scan chains and Built-In-Self-Test modes which could exercise all high-, full-, and low-speed Analog Front End (AFE) components at the packaging and testing stages.
Low Power Consumption
FE8.1 features tiny footprint and extreme low power consumption.
