4 Port high power USB hub
This project is about a high current USB 2.0 hub that is specifically designed to drive USB powered development boards and experimental peripherals.
The core element of this USB hub is the FE1.1s USB 2.0 hub controller. FE1.1s is a low cost, 4-port, high-speed USB hub controller, and this chip can easily order by eBay or AliExpress .
Apart from FE1.1s features, this USB hub has the following additional features:
- Switches to on/off and reset individual USB ports.
- Capability to provide a maximum of 3A of current from each USB port.
- Power using 9V to 15V DC voltage source.
This USB hub uses PIC16F630 MCU and four units of LM2596-5.0 switching regulators to achieve the above-listed features.
