USB 2.0 hub controller — what it does and where it fits
The Texas Instruments TUSB2036VF is a USB 2.0 hub controller in a 32-LQFP package. It handles upstream port negotiation and downstream port enumeration. The part is rated for a 3 V to 3.6 V supply rail and draws 40 mA typical. Operating temperature is 0°C to 70°C.
Lifecycle and sourcing — still in active production
The TUSB2036VF carries an Active lifecycle status and is ROHS3 compliant. No end-of-life notice or last-time-buy window is in effect. This is a current-production part, not a surplus find — it can be specified into a new BOM without worrying about a near-term discontinuation.
Package and handling — 32-LQFP in Tray
The 32-LQFP (7x7 mm) package is a standard low-profile quad flat pack. Store the trays in a dry cabinet; the LQFP body is moisture-sensitive.
