1 Hardware modifications
Do the following hardware modifications to convert EZ-USB™ HX3PD as a 7-port Type-A DS and a Type-B US port hub as per CY6611 EVK Design:
- PD regulator is no longer required as it is needed only when Type-C PD is enabled.
- Connect an external Rd termination (5.1k) on one of the CC pins for each Type-C port and connect the corresponding set of superspeed lines from EZ-USB™ HX3PD to the US or DS connector. The other set of superspeed lines can be left floating.
1.1 Convert the HX3PD Type-C PD US port to a Type-B port
- Add a potential divider circuit between VBUS_MON_P0 (pin D4) and US_TYPE_B_VBUS (VBUS from Type-B Upstream connector) as shown in Figure 2.
- Based on VBUS from the Type-B connector (as shown in Figure 2), CCG4 will enable VBUS to turn ON the hub as shown in Figure 3. VBUS_C_CTRL_P0 (H4 pin) will output VBUS_US (VBUS signal to the HX3PD Hub controller) to enable the hub for normal operation.

1.2 Convert the HX3PD Type-C PD DS1 port to a Type-A port
- Connect a potential divider circuit between VBUS_MON_P1 (B5 pin) and DS1_TYPE_A_VBUS (VBUS from Type-A downstream connector) as shown in Figure 5.
- Connect VBUS_P_CTRL_P1 (pin D6) to the enable pin of the DS1 power switch as shown in Figure 4.
- Connect VCONN_MON_P1 (pin C8) to the hub pin PWREN_P1 (pin J6) as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6.
- Connect OCP_DET_P1 (C6 pin) to the power switch’s overcurrent detection pin as shown in Figure 4. Make sure that it goes to OVCUR_P1 (pin K6) of the hub.

2 Firmware requirements
- No firmware modifications are required.
- Load the EZ-USB™ HX3PD Rev. A silicon with v1.3.0 and the EZ-USB™ HX3PD Rev. B silicon with v2.0.0.
- Firmware for all the controllers of EZ-USB™ HX3PD (Hub, PD, DMC) should be valid.
