Overview
This USB3.0 HUB expansion board is designed to expand one USB connection into four USB 3.0 ports for makers, robotics developers, and embedded projects. It is applicable to ROS robot/car platforms and host boards such as Raspberry Pi 5/4B, RDK series, and Jetson series boards, and it can also be used with PCs and industrial computers. The board uses a VL817 HUB chip and supports plug-and-play operation with common operating systems.
Key Features
- 1 to 4 USB expansion: one USB input interface to 4 USB 3.0 output interfaces.
- High-speed transmission (theoretical): USB3.0: 5Gbps (500Mb/s); USB2.0: 480Mbps (60MB/s). USB3.0 interface is compatible with USB2.0/USB1.1 devices.
- Multiple power input options: supports USB-A interface power supply, plus external power via Micro USB (5V), DC5.5*2.5 (6V~24V), or XH2.54 (6V~24V).
- Wide-voltage external power supply support: 9~24V external voltage input is supported (via DC interface / XH2.54 socket as stated).
- High current capability (when external power supply conditions are met): total output current of four USB channels can reach 5A; a single USB channel can reach 1.5A.
- Independent power switch: supports power cycling without unplugging USB devices.
- Protection circuits: over-current protection, short-circuit protection, and anti-reverse connection protection; includes voltage stabilization and an isolation circuit to help prevent reverse power supply from the USB port.
- Status indication: 4-channel USB device status indicators (USB1/USB2/USB3/USB4) plus a power indicator.
- Stacked installation support: Raspberry Pi 5/4B/3B+/3B and RDK X3 board.
- System compatibility (plug and play): Win7/8/10, Linux, Ubuntu, MacOS.
