General Description
The SMSC USB4640/USB4640i is a Hi-Speed HSIC
USB hub and card reader combo solution with an
upstream port compliant to HSIC 1.0, a supplement to
the USB 2.0 specification. The two downstream ports
are compliant with the USB 2.0 specification.
High Speed Inter-Chip (HSIC) is a digital interconnect
bus that enables the use of USB technology as a low-
power chip-to-chip interconnect at speeds up to 480
Mb/s. The HSIC interface is an industry standard 2-pin
digital interface which uses standard USB software. The
SMSC USB4640/USB4640i provides an ultra fast
interface between an HSIC enabled host and today’s
popular flash media formats. The controller allows
read/write capability to flash media from the following
families:
The USB4640/USB4640i offers a versatile, cost-
effective, and energy-efficient hub controller with 2
downstream USB 2.0 ports. This combo solution
leverages SMSC’s innovative technology that delivers
industry-leading data throughput in mixed-speed USB
environments. Average sustained transfer rates
exceeding 35 MB/s are possible
