USB 2.0 half-duplex transceiver – what this part does
The TUSB1210BRHBT is a USB 2.0 transceiver operating in half-duplex mode, supporting the full 480 Mbps High-Speed data rate. It integrates 8 drivers and 8 receivers on a single die, making it suitable for multiplexed USB bus architectures where multiple channels share a common physical layer. The supply voltage range of 2.7V to 4.8V allows direct connection to 3.3V or 5V USB VBUS rails without an intermediate regulator, simplifying the power tree on the board.
The 32-VFQFN Exposed Pad package (5x5 mm body, 0.5 mm pitch) requires a thermal land on the PCB to dissipate heat from the die.
Active production – sourcing posture
Production is ongoing, and the part is available through authorized distribution channels. The part is offered in Tape & Reel (TR) and Cut Tape (CT) packaging options. The CT variant is convenient for prototype builds and small-run assembly without committing to full reel quantities.
