PXIe USB 2.0 Hub With Programmable Connect & Disconnect

Overview

The 42-738A-001 is a single-slot 3U PXIe USB Hub module that combines an 8-port USB 2.0 hub and USB data/power switching to provide a controlled connection between the backplane and USB products. Each port can connect and disconnect the power and data paths separately, simulating various connection faults. 

The module can be used to connect a USB device under test or USB test equipment to the test system without reliance on the controller’s USB ports, eliminating the need for freestanding powered hubs in a test system. It also provides a simple way of expanding the range of test equipment supported by PXI-based test systems to include USB power meters, USB data acquisition systems and USB scopes.

Our standard switch drivers provide a simple method of controlling the module. Each port supports up to 0.5A at 5V in accordance with the USB specification through a protected power switch.
