The Microchip USB5806CT/KD is a USB 3.1 hub controller that brings a SuperSpeed (5 Gbps) data path to downstream ports, with an I²C or SPI interface for the host to configure port mapping, over-current protection, and status monitoring — no external EEPROM needed for basic setup.
Active lifecycle — no last-time-buy scramble
The commercial temperature range (0°C to 70°C) fits desktop peripherals, docking stations, and indoor equipment — not extended-temp or automotive environments.
Available in Tape & Reel (TR) for production pick-and-place or Cut Tape (CT) for prototyping — the CT option means you can order a single chip without committing to a reel.
